The problem is this:
- the browser is undeniably critical as everyone's window through which they view the online world;
- the user gains a huge amount of value by a browser being integrated into the OS, webviews in other applications, etc
- browsers aren't really a self funding product
- having a single for-profit US advertising company control everyone's view of the online world, however slightly (e.g. by obstructing adblockers), is Not Good
Splitting it off solves the latter problem but immediately raises the question of how to pay for it. A very artificial arrangement where Google pay "arms length browserco" to maintain Chrome?
Firefox has made a mountain of money off of their tiny market share. Chrome as a company would instantly rake in billions.
There's no way that a disaster on a manned mission would affect a satellite launch. They share nothing in common.
Except one thing: Politics.

Has it? Small drones be they for surveillance, dropping munitions or for suicide runs seem like they've been quite effective in Ukraine.
Ukraine has also been vigilant in making hyper-realistic wooden replicas of various types of equipment, some even including heating elements in them so they look correct on thermal cameras.
If you've seen how glitchy/blurry the drone footage can get with jamming, it'd be easy to be fooled by a decoy.

When trying to convince a Russian engineer a few years ago that the west has plenty of corruption, his main counterpoint was "yes, but it's not the same; you guys have a kind of corruption that's at least able to function." He made a big deal about how severe it is even in very minor roles.
With recent events I imagine the difference is going to decrease a bit, but I don't think it'll be the same within 4yrs.
Lawful evil versus chaotic evil.
Isn't this based on an expression from Abigail then at Perlmonks? https://www.masteringperl.org/2013/06/how-abigails-prime-num...
Why not get a Mac Mini and external 32” display? It should be refreshed this week with rumors of a redesign.
The Mini is such a potent little machine.
RAM is literally a JEDEC standard.
You're not buying a standard, you're buying a module with particular packaging and specifications, all of which have a huge impact on production cost.
That page title is utterly absurd.
