The person you are replying to did not mention non-special flights. The biocontainment was only used for a couple of the cases. Even realizing the low contagiousness of this virus compared with many others, I also found it a bit alarming to read that the ship's passengers have been distributed...

Is Ars or anyone else actually able to link to any other social media besides X?

I thought they already tried reduced recharge (one fewer MJ) in Japan and it didn't improve anything. Maybe less time spent super-clipping will do more but why didn't they just eliminate it entirely? Too much of a worry about lap time in that case?

In the on-screen telemetry, the second stage altitude dropped from 110 to 102 miles in the last minute before SECO. That is not normal. There was already an engine or GNC problem during that first burn.

Greater depreciation makes rental a better deal. Furniture makes no sense but renting a computer seems comparable to leasing a car. Clearly the numbers in that case work out in favor of the dealer or they wouldn't do it, but people aren't usually looked down on for leasing. They gain convenience...

That said, the thing received a heck of a marketing campaign. But regardless the reason, it will be good to see any non-Chinese manufacturer challenge Tesla on EVs sold.

If I'm reading you correctly, you're saying that NASA is planning only small payloads and Starship is inefficient for small payloads. Leaving aside the question of whether amount of propellant or just cost should be what is optimized for (the other delivery methods involving non-reusable stages...

Seems like every member of western society should be paid $3M then.

So is Starship just not in these plans? I thought even the current much cut-down estimates had it delivering upwards of 50 tons a pop, but not even the third phase with the highest mass target has a launch:mass ratio indicating that.

I have an iPhone 13 Mini still on 18.6.1 (yes, infrequent updater - shoot me) and I also get no option but iOS 26. It sounds like Apple's attitude towards those with devices that could run newer versions of iOS but choose not to is "f' em".

It seems like there's only one monopoly involved in the case and that's YouTube. Their only competition in ad-compensated free online music is I guess Spotify, though they are pretty niche in comparison.

Could not agree with you more, and it's sad that this opinion IS unpopular, as it just puts another brick in the wall between polarized sides and sharpens the knife edge on top where true dialog can take place. Climate change is nothing like toxic waste dumping or pesticides or any of the other...

How? There's no compiled or interpreter that would treat those characters as ASCII directly. You need something to translate them and then a runtime that supports evaluation of code from data.

Silly me, relying on my direct experience as an app publisher instead.

Are OS's next? Where are you making this up from?

Airtags are already here though. There are differences, but using everyone's iPhones to track whatever object, animal, or person an Airtag is attached to is mass surveillance.

Sadly, despite all the noise Twitter usage hasn't been signficantly impacted by Musk. All sorts of companies and government agencies still use it as their primary media outlet. For example it was the only direct source for information on Isar Aerospace's recent launch attempt. The major...

They aren't open-sourcing anything (nor does it sound like they are claiming to), they are documenting an API. Good on Bose. The article should use terminology more accurately.

A square internal screen is not that interesting, but I guess the technology for true Z-folds isn't there yet in terms of thinness and durability.

Good work China, being reasonable. First bitcoin and now this.
