Didn’t some of the old russian capsules have a gun as standard to shoot any dangerous wildlife when they landed in Siberia? Not sure if that has continued, probably not a good idea anyway!

Between spaceX and Blue Origin they managed a full mission!

(Blue origin got to orbit, but lost their booster, spaceX caught the booster, but lost the starship)

How far do you take it?

What services does it apply to? Sure netflix, Disney (hah! Good luck!) Amazon etc.

What about YouTube? It has masses of content, some in the form of movies Or documentories etc, but that’s a lot of content, who does the pay per view money go to? Who is going to moderate it?

What about services such as Patron?( or maybe nebula or floatplane) Some creators charge a lot for content as it’s low volume and they need to support themselves, will this undercut them (without giving loopholes for big companies)

As others have mentioned, what about porn or porn adjacent content?

It would be very hard to implement fairly I suspect and would be full of pitfalls unless you exempt a lot of areas. Banning content exclusivity for certain content after a period of time would probably be more effective (and requiring that purchase is available)

How do you prove an account is legit?

As a few people have said, buying something like solar panels, or the deposit on an electric car would probably be the best - reducing your impact is probably the most you can do.

The other option could be green investment… They do exist, ignore ‘transitional energy’ funds (90% oil majors), look at the individual shares that any fund that looks interesting. I have some money in EdenTree funds. That way your money is hopefully helping do good, while (hopefully) growing so you can do something that will have a bigger personal effect.

Pretty sure it’s this one: https://youtu.be/FAAQVntpk00

Goes through the photos to get an idea where it failed (towards one end). Then looks at manufacturing photos (milling down carbon fiber in a pressure vessel is crazy!) then looks at strain guage graphs.

Their crack detector thing actually detected a problem on the previous trip… Just nobody checked it…

This is particularly concerning to me with most of the wealth belonging to generations that are now retiring and selling off their stocks to fund their retirement.

That + climate change + authoritarian/strong man government’s looking more likely makes me nervous about the long term stock market.

I guess that’s not new though.

The PE ratio is 30 currently which feels high…

They’re saying that if you’re 55 and in that situation you are in trouble as you’re running out of time to get out of the situation. In your 30s it might not be great compared to previous generations, but you still have time to turn things around.

To be fair, there a lots of interesting jobs out there, you just don’t know they are interesting because they sound boring, or because you only see them if you have experience in some boring job.

If your app uses silver light, VB6 or something like that where modern OSs, browsers etc just don’t support it and there is no upgrade path.

It could also be written in a language that is supported, but you just can’t hire Devs for.

I’m almost always of the opinion that refactoring is better than a rewrite as long as the tech stack is supportable.

Everyone wants to rewrite stuff, because the old system is ‘needlessly complicated’. 90% of the time though, they end up finding it was complicated for a reason and it all ends up going back in. It does allow a system to be written with the full knowledge of its scope though, instead of an old system that has been repeatedly bodjed and expanded. Finally, if your old tech stack is unsupportable (not just uncool, unsupportable) then it can be the most feasible way. It will take ages though with no/little return until it’s all finished.

Refactoring is more difficult, as developers need to understand the existing codebase more to be able to safely upgrade it in situ. It does mean you can get continuous improvement through the process though as you update things bit by bit. You do need to test that each change doesn’t have unexpected impact though, and this can be difficult to do in badly written systems.

Most Devs hate working on other people’s code though, so prefer rewrites.

How.is it providing secrecy and result checking at the same time?

Rich is being subscribed to the financial times?

Sounds like the same study in both articles? And the BBC says it was specifically to ‘premium’ plastic tea bags?

The fabric ones should be fine then?

Edit: sealed with PLA which is industrially compostable, but not home compostable : https://www.yorkshiretea.co.uk/our-packaging No mention of how bad it is to consume.

I love mars photos that make it look like you could just stand there and think you could be on earth.

I understand it as the receivers were deliberately attacking their competitors satellites (and that this would effect their performance as it was wasting bandwidth).

Countering in this case would be by making their competitors service as bad as theirs?

I assume in this case it’s DDOSing the satellite,not the other way round?

Has quite active solution threads etc.

I’m learning rust from scratch this year. Already two days behind due to being too busy though
