Don't give conspiracists & crazies more ideas, they've been gaining too much power of late.

Considering how complicated it was to fold and unfold the sprawling structure, cost overruns are par for the course. Doing something new and unique is very hard to budget. Perhaps they should have pulled a Scotty and multiplied the estimate by four.

Either way, it seems to be worth it, because it's seeing things that no other scope currently can. And making revolutionary discoveries, such as early galaxies seem more mature and plentiful than expected. The birth textbook will have to be rewritten.

Some even suspect our universe is connected to another, and those allegedly early galaxies are simply leakage from the neighbor universe(s). I hope they don't have a Rottweiler.

640 TB should be enough for any universe.

Trump quietly does something? Check him for fever. On second thought, ignore it, go have a Jamba Juice.

It says the bulletin is "non-public". I suppose that means they'll have to kill us if they told us? Maybe they are afraid the camera company(s) have dirt videos on them? Epstein Island 2.0?

Accessing a key should always be throttled, and locked out if a threshold is reached.

Trump went from "climate change is a hoax" to "it's real, but caused by illegals farting".

"Crewed" sounds like "crude" when spoken, and "staffed" sounds awkward for reasons I don't wish to go into. "Piloted"? Gotta ponder that one...

Apple perhaps should make it easier to change the style so people can rotate when they get bored with one.

I thought the Windows "metro" tiling thing was cool, it just wasn't practical, or at least wasn't made practical. (With enough R&D perhaps it could.)

But Apple would make tiles with rounded corners to differentiate themselves.

Jobs famously quipped, I want people to want to lick it.

Gates: "640 vaginas ought to be enough for any porn."

skeumorphism is when Jonny Ive took a big hairy shit on your screen...

But it wasn't ordinary shit, it was translucent glowing shit.

Manned missions have always been a budgeting headache because they take a lot of money, a lot of time, and a consistent Congress, the last one rarer than the Holy Grail. US unmanned probes are more often on budget and have been quite successful overall.

("Manned" sounds misogynistic, but "humanned" and "peopled" sound awkward.)

...why focus on just AI? Liars have been around since the dawn of speech, and long before that if we include creatures who mock sounds and looks to trick prey.
