You need to invent propellentless drives, either solar or zero-point first so you can afford the Delta-V necessary to afford this.

And it's actually the small, fast, difficult pieces that ought to be addressed first in terms of risk but that blows the costs out of the realm of possibility. At least with chemical propellant.

I briefly glanced at a video that was about some hobbyists who find abandoned and commercially unreliable satellites and contact them and spend some time reverse engineering the protocols to toy around (if and when they are responding).

I didn't go too deep into it as I ain't that kinda time but whether or not this satellite ia such a case it's something for radio astronomers to keep in mind.

Deorbit burns seem to be the reliable off switch.

Just last month I was in Boston with family at a huge event and the trip back was 2.2 miles. Most of them waited in a huge line for the train or queued for an Uber.

Two of us walked instead, grabbed some Pho at a takeout place, and got back two minutes after the first Uber arrived.

It wasn't snowing though.

Sound more useful than a machine.

UV dye is actually meant for this - I have some for car air conditioners.

You'd need a way to isolate the module and vaporize it with enough air to leak out and then an ROV with a UV light and a camera.

These are all normal engineering problems except for the ROV.

Do they have an ROV or do they still make astronauts go outside?

It always seemed weird in Star Trek that they didn't have maintbots like on B5.

Hat tip to whomever decided to mask the portraits with egg-shaped ovals for the Easter egg.

So it's "old news" if you read Hack a Day daily?

That's such a miniscule portion of this site, much less the population.

I truly don't understand the "I saw this already" posts. What drives them?

Maybe most people pay this but not everybody does so it's not aproportioned.

It's clearly not a tax on incomes either.

Non-delegation was a dumb strategy, sorry.

Let?

If you allow WPA2 anyone with a laptop and Kali can get on in under an hour.

Depends on who you're defending against.

Spooks will probably get on while you're away when an IoT device associates and set up an APT in your printer.

Which violates the 3rd Amendment IMO but I LARP as someone living in a Republic.

> What am I overlooking?

Browser sandbox escapes?

Depends on who's targeting you. As far as I know ad malware hasn't gone for exploits to set up APT's in printers ... yet.

But why wouldn't the spooks or spearfishermen?

If you lost all your crypto in a boating accident you're probably fine.

That is crazy. Which is exactly what the majority opinion was so critical of Jackson's dissent. There is nothing constitutional at all about a District court judge preventing the executive from taking action against complainants not before them. There was no history of first rung judge halting policy beyond their regional jurisdiction in US law or common law prior to 20th century either.

They even carved out the case of class action suits, that could still result in nation wide injunctions. District judges don't deal with broad questions of law appellate courts and the Supreme court do.

The Constitution establishes three co-equal branches of government, there was nothing equal or little 'd' democratic about one judge being able to cause the policy choices of the other two branches to be brought to a screeching halt. All the present system did is enable agitators to go shopping for venues where advancing their pet legal theories are most likely to succeed. Conservatives and liberals alike have played these stupid games and it was long past time to put a stop to that nonsense.

Not tested here yet, but this exists:

I'm a bit hesitant as I don't remember the outcome of the Brother toner lockin scare a few months back. I think it wound up being overblown but I'll check before updating.

Worst case I move the printers to their own subnet, because I probably should have a decade ago.

This is such common knowledge there's a traditional aphorism for it. See subject.

The real benefit of this research:

"Money please!"

It might be possible to decellularize the heart and then use pluripotent stem cells to rebuild it but it might also need to be exercised for a while before implantation

A main advantage would be, aside from rejection, that an artificial heart could be used for a couple months while it grows. This would save donor heart supply.

Good idea, I think.

The article is paywalled but if the profits outweigh the consequences they'll stay.

Russia has some businesses practices that are illegal but reasonable so the fines are $30 a year. Some politician got his win but not really.

It's either cynical or a business license depending on how you look at it. In many US places being in businesses is illegal if you don't pay the government for the privilege of earning a living.

On the other hand EU fines US Big Tech hundreds of millions for stuff they don't like. Apple is implementing several functions that were "technically impossible" just a year ago.

But, yes, if the liability is high they have to leave to protect their investors.
