For a trademark like this, one way that Slack can "enforce" their trademark is for slackmoji to acknowledge Slack's trademark in slackmoji's webpages.

Most mentions of crawl-delay in robots.txt set a limit so slow that the website can't be fully crawled before the heat death of the Universe. That's why Google and bing etc. ignore crawl-delay.

There are 9 new Plaids in "inventory" in Palo Alto, plus 1 used.

There are lots of places today in the 3rd world where you shouldn't eat uncooked food (salad).

> but a lot of cultures aside from the soviets are complicit in this hunt

As you note, the article says this. I'm not sure what you think you're correcting.

That case possibly looks like obeying sanctions, although they have failed to explain why they think this customer is in Crimea. For example, OVH may have discovered that the Russian ISP involved was putting fake data into geoip, and if you're aware you can't just pretend you don't know.

BTW, if it was just "we don't want to do business with you any more", that depends on what your contract says. Most consumer ISP contracts allow an ISP to drop a customer for any reason without explanation.

Odd, that's not what the article says about their lifetime in those kinds of orbits.

"Solar panels" usually means solar cells. These are mirrors.

So the 20 year old prediction didn't come true, but just wait, you're sure it'll happen?

Lots of predictions don't come true. The dystopian "A Nice Morning Drive" from 1973 turns into the Rush song "Red Barchetta" in 1980, and 40 years later, it hasn't happened.

Starlink does sell backhaul. It's a fairly big business all over the globe, and low latency is something that mobile users expect.

Knowing where the Earth is is vitally important for much of astronomy. You can't point at something small in the sky without knowing it.

Personally, I think we should return to the Julian calendar. Leap years are too complicated otherwise, not worth the trouble.

I was hoping you would be interested in how the actual astronomy community thinks about it.

Few of them would agree with your statement.

The speed categories were set by the FCC, and SpaceX would have gotten nothing if they weren't in the "fast" category.

> A positive media spin for NASA means their budget remains unscrutinized and unfettered.

Wow. No, it doesn't.

Isn't there enough credit to go around?

BTW, the people who work on these details inside astronomy are called "instrumentalists", whether they're scientists or engineers.

The general public can submit an observation proposal, which will then have to compete with all of the other proposals in peer review.

Yes, there are many kinds of science which can be done more cheaply from the ground.

Even considering the effect of Starlink.

Sure: some athletes get a lot of protein that way, and others get a lot of protein without eating any meat. It's beneficial for muscle-building either way you do it.

> and hence higher protein

There are a ton of professional athletes who don't eat meat and apparently get plenty of protein.

I recently did Madrid-Granada and back via train, it was a great experience.

There are parts of the US, namely the parts where a majority of people live, that are densely-populated enough for trains.

Obviously you've never lived through having the weight balance of the baggage on your aircraft being deemed improper. 30 minutes to move to the other side of the airport, whereupon the weight balance is deemed OK, 30 minutes to return. Yes, Chicago.

Decimated means 1/10 killed.

I know people don't use it properly, but it's worth knowing.

The citation is exactly the edition from 2016, presumably it is or isn't the updated one. From looking at your link, the update was 2022.

> If the neoliberals have their way,

Not sure where that came from. The NSF provides a lot of 3 or 5 year grants. The science org I work for is mostly funded by 3-5 year grants.

Thanks for insulting me, but I did read the recent major ruling, which was about a lot more than abortion.

And to circle back: I didn't bring up abortion.

I don't see the word "abortion" in the comment you replied to, was it edited?

I'm all for eschewing flamebait, but in this case you're being part of the problem.

What is your plan for the next decade, before the nuclear planets might be ready?

> I'm not a fan of giant solar farms cut into forests

What % of new solar farms are cut into forests? I can't think of a one, I'm sure there is one, but it's hard to imagine it's a high %.

It doesn't take a long ass time to build new renewables. But it does take competent management to incentivize moving maintenance to the times of year that don't have heat waves.
