Maybe they are planning on a moon base or more Space Stations. Right now with a lag of 2 - 3 seconds for something like that it may help with experiments. Maybe they are just putting it there to have an option?

I think the concern is how students are using it and how they use it on their homework.

A Ferrari is engineered for performance because that's its design goal—and its customers pay for that. But slapping a 4Ah battery into a phone isn’t engineering brilliance; it’s lazy compensation for not optimizing power draw, thermal management, or user habits. If your solution to every problem is 'double it,' congratulations—you've reinvented overengineering.

Real engineers don’t throw money, weight, and space at a problem. They solve it with precision.

People love to say how the US healthcare system is broken, maybe if Europe paid their fair share US costs would come down, here are some examples: Lantus Germany $61, Canada $67 US $186, Crestor Germany $41, Canada $32 US $86, Gleevec Germany $3003, Canada $2,421 US $10,122.

That's the opposite of proper engineering. The goal of any engineer is to figure out how to do a thing for as cheap as possible. Anyone can build a bridge if you use thick enough logs, the trick is doing it cost effectively.

They are the influencers of pre-tech era I suppose.

What will become the new universal scale of the internet?

Ah ha! Nuke the thing in the sky!!!

I am a bit confused, maybe someone can help me? I remember reading that more clouds = reduced surface temperature, why would contrails increase the temperature?

I like to take walks with my dogs and kids, as it is getting darker earlier and earlier we are noticing it is becoming a big problem off on the side of the road. Often times I will actually walk backwards if an event is ending as the constant stream of super bright lights is to much to walk into.

I'll give you a power move, we never got rid of our fax machine.

There are a lot more people than google that have crazy level of surveillance. There is a marketing firm called zoominfo that can get you the contact info of the people that visit your website without cookies, etc. It is scary good and it doesn't just say the company, they tell you who visited and can get you the contact info for everyone in the business they are at.

"Thanks for the free advertisement Slashdot! Our sales just went through the roof!" -Representative from forewarn.

Here, let me get some numbers for you....

According to https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eia.gov%2Fstate%2Fseds... California consumed 14.6% of the jet fuel in the US and they only have 11.7% of the US Population.

I do not understand the novelty here. The first 3D printer I looked at making, maybe 10 years ago? It used 2 syringes to dispense fluid to make food. What makes this new, the UV curing attachment maybe?
