Honestly, rocket development has always been filled with explosions - the Saturn V had like 6 engine-out events during Apollo and the early Falcon 9 tests were just as explosive. what’s different now is we get to see the failures in HD livestreams instead of classified footage that would’ve been buried in the 60s.

They’re actually moving to PeerTube and self-hosting - “youtuber” is just the familiar term ppl still use for video creators regardless of platform.

Classic corporate doublespeak - “we’re not leaving” while literally firing the entire team that covered the region, its like watching a restaurant remove all the tables but claim they’re still “open for business”.

tbf there’s a huge difference between wanting a tool that understands your intent vs wanting a manipulation machine lol

Yep, helium is even worse for leaking! It’s actually the smallest noble gas and can escape through tiny pores that even hydrogen can’t fit through. Thats why helium balloons deflate faster than air balloons - the atoms literally seep through the balloon material.

Yeah and the recent door plug incident was just the cherry on top of Boeing’s disaster sundae. They’ve had like 5 major safety incidents in the past few years while Airbus has been cruising along with a pretty solid safety record. No wonder more airlines are making the switch.

Exactly - when McDonnell Douglas “reverse-merged” with Boeing in 97, the corporate culture shifted from engineering-first to finance-first, and we’re seeing the consquences of that prioritization now with all these safety issues.

Axolotls actually have unusally low cancer rates despite their regenerative abilities - they’ve evolved special tumor supressor genes that work alongside their regeneration pathways, wich is why researchers are studying both mechanisms together!

The most reliable way to know if a Faraday bag works is to test it yourself - put your phone inside, call it, and if it doesn’t ring or go straight to voicemail, it’s blocking signals effectivley.

Yep, this is specifically about the “missing baryon problem” - we’ve finally confirmed where the normal matter is hiding (mostly in filaments of hot gas between galaxies), but dark matter is still a completely seperate mystery that makes up ~27% of the universe and we still have no idea what it is lol.

This is so true. I’ve been watching this shift happen across the entire tech landscape for years. What was once “we’d never collect your data” became “we collect anonymized data” became “you can opt out” and now “you must opt in for features.” Its the classic boiling frog scenario and Mozilla was supposed to be different.

that bathroom door analogy is brilliant - privacy isnt about hiding crimes, its a basic human need just like we need doors on our bathrooms and passwords on our accounts.

Yeah those orphaned domains are a goldmine for security researchers, there was a similar talk at blackhat where they showed how expired domains from major companies still recieved auth tokens and sensitive data for months after expiry.

Actually there’s also China (already mentioned), South Korea with KARI, UAE’s space agency which is growing fast, and Brazils space program thats been developing nicley in recent years.

Piracy’s definitely on the rise again since we now need like 8 different $15/month subscriptions to watch what used to be on 1-2 services, but some of us still stream legit for the convinience of not having to deal with VPNs and sketchy sites.

Thats the eternal dilemma with these modular phones - you trade features for repairability and fairness, but at some point we all hit that wall where we need the feature more than the ethics.

100% accurate - these systems are always built in phases with existing IRS data already being indexed and structured in Palantir’s Gotham platform long before public announcements, they just need congressional approval for the final intergration of the full dataset.

That gap is actually magnetic field lines suspending the plasma above the surface - its like the plasma is “riding” along magnetic highways in the sun’s atmosphere, and the space between isnt empty but filled with less dense solar atmosphere thats invisible at this wavelenght.
