"Note that gun safety features (not universally loved) like grip safeties, have been available in some form and in various combinations for many decades."
Grip safeties have been around on guns a long time. The 1911 has one, and that is a 100+ year old design that is still in prominent use today.
I wonder if these also have the "Flawed Mirror" that the Hubble had.
I also wonder if that flaw helped the telescope view the earth rather than the stars.
Never attribute to malice, what can be easily explained by incompetence.
These telescopes are still here, on the ground. This makes me assume they were *never* in space, as retrieval would be very costly, and apparently pointless if they have no use for them.
They either have several more up in space, or they were never able to get them up and running in the first place.
Switch to RAID 6. Or some wother format with dual parity drives. With the size of drives now-a-days it is pretty likely that another drive will die as you are populating a fresh replacement drive on RAID5.
FTA: "It’s a potential moneymaker for the city, which will earn 30 percent of the gross revenues on the sale of the platform to other customers."

They also are doing some sort of a profit sharing venture with the NYPD on this software.
What does "rich and famous" have to do with anything?
All winter they tell us not to look at short term, localized temperatures. Now that it is warm, the summer's heat is proof of anthropomorphic global warming.
It is impractical because the cost to manufacture the solar cell is much mroe expensive than the energy it will create over the lifetime of the cell. (*assuming it is like every other solar product.)
It WILL work when the cost of the solar cell goes down; or when the cost of every other source of energy rises.
When you pay people to not have jobs... what the fuck do you expect?
Agree or not, they have had the power to limit speech for a long time.
"Clear and present danger is a doctrine adopted by the Supreme Court of the United States to determine under what circumstances limits can be placed on First Amendment freedoms of speech, press or assembly."
I am sure many would express that parent's sentiment, regardless of this article or its summary.
"What's the best way to survive this type of system?"
Overperform.
So, if I rent a room in your basement I can do WHATEVER I want while I am down there?
Of course not. If you don't like Verizon (or any other companies) Terms of Service, then find a new provider. It is as simple as that.
The
Your freedom of speech IS NOT eroded if someone else doesn't let you use their equipment to make your proclamations.
If you don't like their Terms of Service, then find another provider's equipment to use.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
