Again, the topic is "crew returning to Earth." You, Berger, and whoever posted the arstechnica link have brought politics to the party.

I liked how they had a drone circling the recovery activity at the splashdown site. All live-streamed for our informed entertainment. SpaceX is undeniably doing a great job, although the starship explosions in our atmosphere I'm not a fan of, I look forward to that not happening.

Did you read Trump's post about the mission calling the previous administration incompetents? That predates Berger's post?

Having a docked ship is not enough. There must be a docked ship on station at all times for evacuations. The thing that was needed was another ship to take some people back and not everyone (well, all but any Russians, since they have their own ships).

But Crew 10 had also been planned for a while, so the narrative that Trump ordered a new ship to go up "NOW" can't be true. For example, heres a post about NASA moving the launch date to March, in December last year: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/commercialcrew/2024/12/17/nasa-ad...

> SBF blamed his erratic appearance in old interviews on being distracted by tech devices.

Really, the excuses this guy is throwing around remind me of little children.

> Carlson kept acting throughout the interview as though it’s just normal and reasonable for wealthy people who donate to politicians to expect corrupt favors from those same people in their time of need.

That's just being realistic, isn't it?

As evidenced by this situation it's not true that any criminal can give money to any politician and expect favours. Perhaps some criminals curry more favour, and perhaps some politicians are more transactional.

Been a while since I played the game, but in all translations I was confused why you'd want to build 12 spawning pools.

If I remember correctly, that building was for enabling creation of zerglings and other units in hatcheries (and also for researching upgrades) - but one building was enough to unlock those units in all hatcheries; and it did not produce any units itself, so building more of them wouldn't increase your unit output either.

You could in theory built several of them to research multiple upgrades in parallel, but there were only like 3 possible upgrades anyway, so it would make sense to build 12 of them.

The only reason I could think of would be as a sort of redundancy, so you can keep building zerglings even if the enemy destroys some of the pools. But 12 also seems excessive for that.

So what exactly was the motivation here?

Sorry if I'm talking rubbish here, as I said, it's been a while.

12 Pool means build your spawning pool at 12 supply, usually the number before the building is at which supply you build the building, and it assumes you're constantly producing workers.

Why isn't making the iPhone unavailable for sale in Europe not an option?

PavleMiha · 2 years ago

I guess it is? No one can force Apple to sell iPhones in Europe.

The subtitles aren't open?

If you meant transcribing dialogue from a TV show is violating copyright, I'm not so sure, it's relatively common to quote dialogue for varied purposes, ex. TV critics

Definitely understand if you're saying the whole dialogue for a TV show is copyrighted, but I'm curious about the opensubtitles part, used to work in that area.

PavleMiha · 2 years ago

Quoting is very different from posting the full contents of something. I can quote a book but I can’t reproduce it in its entirety.

I'm not sure your argument makes any sense.... So you're saying it's not about the absolute mathematical results of the poll, but more about the feelings of the general population?

PavleMiha · 2 years ago

It's both, the methods by which the election is made secure and accurate should be understandable by most people. Most people don't understand cryptography and cybersecurity.

Feels obvious to say this, but very odd that the article didn't mention, lying is bad, especially when done for profit.

Yet not a single one of them was allowed to even take a picture of themselves wearing one. Why was that?

PavleMiha · 3 years ago

Speculating, but Apple wanted to make sure that the only people photographed using the headset were models and actors who are very attractive. That way whenever a news outlet runs a story about it, they have to use the picture of the attractive/cool people using it, and people make an association that the headset makes people attractive/cool.
