tzfld··on First atmosphere found on Earth-like planet in habitable zone of distant star
A little bit like news with signs of water found on Mars. Keep appearing as big news. It was maybe 15 years ago.
tzfld··on An official atlas of North Korea
Interestingly North Macedonia is also colored with the gray shade of the enemies. Wondering if that is deliberate or not.

Under current financial and incentive system this will not going to happen unfortunately.
tzfld··on NASA announces Boeing Starliner crew will return on SpaceX Crew-9
If they manage to human rate Vulcan, I don't think it would be technically hard to launch Starliner on it. Just looking at Cygnus which used three different rockets from three different companies.

I'm not trying to relativize, but if an 11 year old can do such mess with a "two-way communication device", then there is a problem with many other things involved.
tzfld··on Show HN: Horizon – Private alternative to Imgur
>Unlimited Bandwidth*

Expecting great onboard stream of the deorbit process.
tzfld··on Google Gemini tried to kill me
This may be the future of crime. To feed llm-s with text like this which seems legit but may harm later.
tzfld··on Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders ID'd in WA plane crash
I hate this reasoning. Why is this a fitting way to die? What would be a fitting way to go for a cook or an athlete then?
tzfld··on US overtakes China as Germany's top trading partner
This kind of decoupling could be seen in the early 20th century leading to a world war. So not obvious whether it is good or bad.
tzfld··on Netlify just sent me a $104k bill for a simple static site
Render may have the same problem: https://community.render.com/t/usage-100gb-for-a-static-site...

Regardless of her, having unsuspended because she's known enough. But how many people are suspended by an automated system and without any reason, and who will not have the reach to solve their ban?
tzfld··on Disney to take $1.5B stake in Epic Games
And above that, we talk about Disney which represents almost every bad thing when talking about large corporations.
tzfld··on YouTube doesn't want to take down scam ads
What if those ads appear on small websites and delivered by ad platforms like adsense? Who is liable?
tzfld··on 15 years ago, I helped design Google Maps
there is a Terrain layer if you want to see the relief
tzfld··on 15 years ago, I helped design Google Maps
The same with contour line elevations. They are unreadably small, and when zooming in enough they just disappear. Hate it.
tzfld··on Fake town built exclusively for filming TV and movies
Something similar in Hungary but modeled for another age:

tzfld··on Souvenir Spoons Museum
I didn't know souvenir spoon is a thing
tzfld··on Chandrayaan-3 Lands on the Moon
Wondering how Russians feel about the success of Chandrayaan-3 after the failure with their Luna 25.
tzfld··on CNET is deleting old articles to try to improve its Google Search ranking
I remember these kind of sources right from inside in the Matt Cutts era 15+ years ago encouraging and advising so many things which later proven to not be the case. I wouldn't take this only because it was written by the official guide.
tzfld··on Reddit removes moderators, calls for new volunteers
Do you want this unpaid job, from which we can lay off you anytime regardless the effort put in it by you. Send us your resume and previous experience in the field.

The arrogance of these tech companies has no limits.

tzfld··on Internet search tips
Wondering why we don't have web search engineers
tzfld··on Threads has lost half of its daily active users a week after launch
When you lock out half of the developed world at the time of biggest hype around your app and eventually open it up only after, you can't expect more.
tzfld··on Most Bitcoin Inscriptions belong to a single person
Even with this, it seems to be an unhealthy concentration at first.
tzfld··on My 20 year career is technical debt or deprecated
That's until there is someone to keep it up. Will disappear the moment the domain isn't renewed.
tzfld··on Larry Page Missing as Google Founder Faces Jeffrey Epstein Lawsuit
Interestingly, I can't get information about this whole case in general in bing chat. Keep getting answers like; "Sorry! That’s on me, I can’t give a response to that right now. What else can I help you with?"
tzfld··on My husband was right about DVDs
This may be space saving, but not a recommended way to store discs for long periods.

Respectable man, but a little bit like the pope: everyone agrees with him, but no one doing like that.
tzfld··on Spaceport Cornwall awarded licence to host UK’s first space launch
This is an airborne launch, meaning the spaceport will have only the takeoff of the host airplane. The launch itself will be above the sea.

The rocket was developed and built in the US and projected to be launched from multiple countries around the world.

So nothing UK specific in it.

tzfld··on YouTube confirms that it has removed the “sort by oldest/newest” option
May be a paid feature in the future, seeing videos older than x years.
