Let’s not insult the mentally handicapped, at least one of whom I know and votes very sensibly. Turns out it’s not that hard to see through BS and pick kind people if that’s what you want.
The problem is greed and cruelty, not mental capacity.
A solar storm can change a satellite’s orbit by changing the atmosphere around it. When energy from the Sun heats Earth’s upper atmosphere, the gas expands, increasing resistance along some orbital paths. A planned Swiss mission will investigate that connection by observing the Sun and the atmosphere from the same spacecraft.
The May 2024 Gannon geomagnetic storm exposed the operational consequences. An analysis published in the Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets documented thousands of satellites maneuvering after enhanced drag caused altitude losses. Such widespread adjustments complicate tracking and collision avoidance, because predicted encounters must be reassessed using the spacecraft’s changed trajectories.
Interesting complications!
I kind of forgot how hopeless I’d become, I was prepared for nothing to change. There’s so much to fix, but it’s such a weight lifted that we have the ability to get going.
If they aren’t going to have the votes to make it stick, I agree it feels like a waste of time.
I would like to see really hard lines on ICE, Israel, Iran. Though government shutdown doesn’t hit me personally that hard; we would need to be ready to support vulnerable folks.
I actually think getting all the evidence ready for criminal prosecution seems helpful. And separately, building local government power.
But overall, I’m not sure how they can fight an illegal leader from within the legal system, if half the government is also illegal cronies.
Scary, but not quite as bad as: Meeting invite: no title, later this morning, attendees are your manager and HR. (That is, layoffs.)
Or even: lots of free snacks! But a voice in company decisions, or notice before termination? No no, that doesn’t increase ROI.
Zuckerberg, worth $239bn according to Forbes, told Meta he was considering moving his primary residence elsewhere because Prop 40 could expose him to a massive tax liability, potentially forcing him to sell voting shares to pay it. In response, Meta is creating a new class of non-voting shares via a two-for-one stock split for all existing shareholders. This will allow Zuckerberg to sell some of this new class C shares to pay a potential tax bill, without diluting his control of the company.
How scummy.
Sounds like a reminder to (a) migrate off PHP wherever possible, and,
“The vulnerabilities can allow unauthenticated attackers to execute code on affected servers or read sensitive process memory,” Wiz writes in its research. “That memory may contain passwords, authentication tokens, API keys and certificates belonging to other requests or the server itself.”
Keep your server processes sandboxed / running as a dedicated user.
And if you don’t actually need dynamic rendering (looking at most WordPress installations), use a static site generator (Jekyll, Hugo, etc).
Don’t we have a bunch of these already, not least lat/lon rounded down to some precision? Why another?
I would be delighted for my Volvo to stop popping up a full-screen “try Gemini” page while I’m driving.
But yes, I would rather not brick the infotainment.
Beautiful!
Designed with underground exhibition halls, giant light funnels and sprawling solar farms, the museum is able to operate sustainably while withstanding an extremely harsh environment.
I wonder how it was funded.
Yeah, why would you waste time with these instead of Gimp, OpenOffice, etc? Except for the clicks.
Interesting! Reviews don’t seem too positive though.
I get the “maybe God should go back on his promise to Noah” sentiment.
Societally, though, I think we’re still doing better than monarchies and crusades. Even if the lows are pretty disgusting, there are a lot of folks spreading good information and care.
Now, if a bacteria that rendered crude oil unusable without releasing any CO2 in the process got loose, I would breathe a sigh of relief (and be eager to pay extra taxes to help folks with more rapid electrification).
13 / 0.05 = 260
He has $260 Billion?!
Yeah, spread that around. He wasn’t doing more than playing around with Google Glass 10 years ago, coming up with Google (and then doing his best to sabotage it) isn’t worth that by a long shot.
For a lot of single-issue voters, this kind of calculation is theoretical. For trans people right now, it is not. An anti-trans Democrat in office is a harm. A Republican who is openly, aggressively, legislatively hostile to trans existence is a different order of harm. Both things are true, and genuinely hard to reconcile.
Yeah, that’s an awful choice. I can’t think of a better option than the article presents — name the candidates and their shortcomings/wrongs.
Ranked choice voting so we stop having to pick terrible Democrats. Gaining prevalence in local elections!
I have hairy toes with poor blood flow, so I’m a little skeptical.
Asking the real questions!
Thanks for linking & providing the context, it’s a great song / performance.
