If you started from first principles and made a car or, in this case, told an flailing intelligence precursor to make a car, how long would it take for it to create ABS? Seatbelts? Airbags? Reinforced fuel tanks? Firewalls? Collision avoidance? OBD ports? Handsfree kits? Side impact bars? Cupholders? Those are things created as a result of problems that Karl Benz couldn't have conceived of, let alone solve.
Experts don't just have skills, they have experience. The more esoteric the challenge, the more important that experience is. Without that experience you'll very quickly find your product fails due to long-solved problems leaving you - and your customers - in the position of being exposed dangers that a reasonable person would conclude shouldn't exist.
Eutelsat are aimed at a different market: infrastructure. Their intended customers are larger and more demanding: research outposts, small villages, oil rigs, mobile phone towers, ships, and so on, as opposed to Starlink who focus on consumers directly, which is much more low-stakes. I'm genuinely curious if Eutelsat can move into Starlink's territory.
They should make a device that removes the need for waffle stomping. Like, maybe a separate fixture without a grille and with an aperture large enough to allow the solid loaf to pass straight through. Maybe integrate some kind of support to allow the user to comfortably assume and hold a squatting position. Oh, and a cleaning feature to wash the contents away.
Exactly this. People who buy crypto with Real Money only do so in the expectation that they'll later be able to sell it for more Real Money. By design, it doesn't represent labor, materials, services, anything of actual worth, it just sucks the value out of fiat currency like a parasite.
A quick question for Americans: here in the UK, cars have to pass an annual inspection once they reach three years old. It's called an MOT test and it's primarily concerned with making sure the car is safe - they check for rust, seatbelt tension, brake wear, and, yes, they make sure all the lights are not just working but also aligned properly. Do you not have an equivalent?
Yeah, a lot of people say things like "a BloingCoin is worth €1000" or "1 PissBux is worth more than a barrel of oil" but, like, so what? I know how many apples I can buy with €1 (about two). How many apples can I buy with a BloingCoin or a PissBux? Or, for that matter, a barrel of oil?
Can I introduce you to your new best friend, Yunohost? It's a self-hosting platform based on Linux designed to run on a shitty old laptop, SBC, USFF PC or such plugged into your router. Browser-based, loads of extensions and tools, the hardest part it installing it - it's no more or less tricky that installing Ubuntu, but that's still involved for many people.
The books were clearer about this, in fairness. Bond wasn't a spy so much as an agent provocateur and a major part of his role was to cause disruption, panic and general fuss, but in a controlled way.
It's amazing how stuff that was simple even twenty years ago is so unusual now. I'm in the UK and we simply do not have cheques any more, for example. About ten years ago I had to pay a supplier in the US by cheque and I actually had to go to my bank and get them to print one for me - the staff member who helped me said they'd worked there two years and it was the first cheque he'd had to produce. When I was a kid people paid with cheque constantly, everyone had a chequebook, though I've got to say I'm glad to see the back of them. If guess that withdrawing specific denominations of cash is the same. If I just wanted to withdraw an amount of money, I'd use my nearest cash machine, but to specifically ask for this quantity of that denomination is, presumably, a bit left field.
