It's not just helicopters. Commercial satellite imaging is good enough to detect mold and askew shingles (usually more through running the image over multiple angles and finding reflectance differences)

I worked for a company that does large scale construction updates based on SAR and Maxtor reflectance data, it's pretty terrifying how accurate it is.

Looking forward to every other country on earth advancing space exploration while America feeds SpaceX more money to blow up endangered bird sanctuaries.

The article you're commenting on is about EU grocery store honey being fake

Best part of this is that they just won the contract for launch services even though they still haven't proven the thing can fly without blowing up yet.

SpaceX is still hitting the milestones on their NASA contracts

SpaceX has missed every single HLS milestone and is the primary reason the Artemis program is delayed:

By definition, this is not a bailout or waste of taxpayer money, as it was fairly competed on the open market, and approved by the congresspeople who were voted in by the public.

SpaceX famously hired William Gerstenmaier and Kathy Luedens right after they awarded them billions for the falcon and crew capsule. They barely skated by the government's "revolving door" conflict of interest regulations because SpaceX put them on "unrelated" projects.

The contract awarded to SpaceX and Starlink under the Trump FCC was rescinded after Biden's FCC decided that they weren't meeting the requirements of the contract.

Now SpaceX is awash in newly minted federal contracts from Trump's new federal agencies and Musk's "special employee" status.

SpaceX's funding has never been "approved by congress" outside of some confirmed cabinet positions, nor has it ever been what one could call completely "fair."

"The future" is whatever the majority of young people decide it will be, regardless of it's the past or not.

A real shitpost

Thanks @ryan.gosling.stan

It's kind of crazy the variety of opinions people have on Andor and Rogue One

Jokes aside I actually do appreciate that almost all guix packages are verified source and not just copy scripts of already built tarballs.

Guix is awesome!

Nonguix substitute server is down for the fifth straight day, forcing me to rebuild the entire Linux kernel when updating

And you should Never use it!

I feel like it's more likely more and more young people will just retreat from the open internet and only trust content from people they already know don't post AI clips.

I know right. Let's put a more realistic "before they're out of kindergarten" on that.

I can understand the opinion that bringing kids into the world is causing them harm because the world sucks. But the number of people who seemed to bring that opinion into the real world on that sub was kind of scary.

Not an insignificant number of people who had stories like "my stupid natalist coworker wanted to take off to attend their kids' graduation, I told them I wouldn't help and they shoulda thought about that before they had their little shitstains" were there.

Like having kids already sucks enough, making parents' lives harder seems to be actively adding to the harm you're trying to reduce...

Aren't these the exact colors they flashed during the pokemon movie to give kids epileptic seizures?

France trading ADHD for Ennui

Nah you can't even use cash in a lot of post offices now.

I agree to some degree but the gnu project doesn't have a great track record for performative hosting (savannah is very prone to going down for long periods of time.)

I don't begrudge better hosting infrastructure from a different non-profit.

As a guix user and package maintainer I'm ecstatic.

I'm so proud of the community for rallying around the needs and pain points of everyone and making this decision. This reduces so many pain points for a guix user and will hopefully smooth out the package maintenance process a great deal. Email is simple but trying to do code change communication over it can be very complex and time-laborous.

If you're curious about functional packaging systems grab guix on your distro and give it a try!

Special shout out to anyone burnt out on Nix lang. Come feel the warm embrace of Scheme's parentheses. :)
