This is not foolproof (read the paper for details) but it can help to protect peoples identities if used correctly.

It makes a lot more sense once you consider where you are starting from: a rock hurtling around the sun at breakneck speed (29.8 km/s). You can not really bullseye something when you are going almost 30 km per second sideways to it.

Eutelsat

OneWeb is owned by Eutelsat and i think that is the one they refer to in the article. OneWeb satelites use 450 km - 1200 km orbits so 3 to 8 ms delay assuming the signal goes straight up and straight down again.

those missiles are almost certainly intended for ground launch.

That is mostly because those numbers take the average occupancy level into account. Cars are rarely driven with a passenger in every available seat.

If you replace a short haul flight with a ride on a train you could easily cut carbon emissions by 75% Source

Diamond Age here we come :)

crows are omnivorous scavengers. eating other dead birds is regular crow behaviour.

Both caffeine and ephedrine are stimulants.

How many PSUs are installed in the Poweredge server? In the manual it says it could be 1 or 2 and the power per PSU could be 1100W so if it is 2 * 1100W then that could explain why the UPS has problems with it.

Check out their road map and the videos of their prototypes. It is very much not a tech bro project :). The first goal isnt event maglev but magnetic propulsion.

If you want to go faster you want to go contactless which means building a whole new, incompatible, network.

retrofitting and hybrid operation seems possible though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevomo
they already built a small working prototype

Heh, I have two laptops: one with Arch and one with Ubuntu. I like both systems. I guess i like triggering myself.

Also very often overlooked: the Amazonas as we know it today is NOT wild in any way. It is a cultural landscape that started around the time when humans settled that area but not later than 11tya

[…] large portions of the Amazon rainforest are probably the result of centuries of human management, rather than naturally occurring as has previously been supposed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_rainforest#cite_ref-24

a surrender condition that lets Russia retain all the land they’ve taken

A while ago there was a prediction about the true intentions of the russia negotiating: they want to stop Ukraine from succeeding as a state, since that would be a bad omen for a neighbouring kleptocracy.
If this prediction comes true the outcome you describe is actually very unlikely, because the russia would rather continue fighting just to keep the region in shambles.

This is happening only because the DMA exists. That’s regulation. So i guess the optimistic view here is that finally regulation is catching up to the tech giants.
The pessimistic view might be that big tech found a way to weaponize the regulations against each other to the benefit of no one.

NetworkManager’s Gnome GUI works with wireguard config files. If you are using Plasma you would need to install some alpha software to do that in the gui but you can always fall back to nmcli which also supports wireguard configs via the import command.

Maybe the primary coolant but all the designs i’ve seen so far use water for the secondary coolant / working fluid.

Are there any molten salt reactor designs that do not use water as a coolant?
