Can't they just make more of the ones that used to work and improve that design rather than burning up piles of cash reinventing the wheel, badly apparently.
According to Google, Starliner is a fixed-price contract, so (in theory) they should only get paid for meeting milestones. There's no extra profit to Boeing in dragging this out (again, in theory).
arguing it would protect contractors' intellectual property
Paid for with U.S. taxpayer funds. Contractors are paid by the government which paid for by the people. It's government, and our, IP.

First post aside, isn't this just static electricity?
Won't really know for sure until someone shuffles across Mars in socks and touches the rover.
OpenAI Needs At Least $207 Billion By 2030 Just To Keep Losing Money
the bank expects OpenAI to reach 3 billion users by decade's end, up from roughly 800 million today
Over 1/3 of the world's population, really? Although, think of how much money OpenAI will have lost by then.

Well, USA secrets are screwed. You don't even need to directly tap some of the officials as they pass along what they're doing to their family members, including classified info.
Pete Hegseth is concerned enough that he's switching from Signal to SMS to leak battle info
His cabinet doesn't know the difference between artificial intelligence and sauce for overcooked steaks https://www.usatoday.com/story...
Honestly, at this point, he probably just thinks he's giving a job to a guy name Al - "A" "L" - who lives in Manhattan. (*sigh*)
Judging from the commercials, weight loss from Wegovy is probably more from all the marching around town than the drug itself.
#1 - Qualcomm QCP-1900, 1998-2015 (17y)
#2 - Kyocera HydroVIBE, 2015-2021 (6y)
#3 - Google Pixel 5a, 2021 - Present (4y, so far)
The Qualcomm was on nTelos (initially PrimeCo) and had to give it up when nTelos in my area was sold to Sprint and they didn't/wouldn't support the phone's spectrum. The Kyocera was on Ting (Sprint) and gave it up when Sprint was bought by T-Mobile and CDMA was deprecated and VoIP required, also Google Play support EOL for KitKat. The Pixel 5a is on Ting (T-Mobile) and I'll probably keep it until forced to get something newer - works great so far.
I'll note that the Kyocera - from 2015 - was IP57 certified *with* a headphone jack and removable battery (along with 32GB MicroSD and SIM) under the removable back w/gasket.
But the cost of building this installation sounds like it would be prohibitive
More expensive, sure, but probably way less risky than "dropping" it.

As technology progresses we can better handle the dangerous waste power from Gooble Boxes currently being routed to the special disposal volcano.
Renewables are undeniably a good idea. The energy is just right there.
Sure they are not without problems, and in a country the size of the UK, there's not enough to be energy independent, but even with that we should build more.
Denying it: Trump - Trump blames renewable energy for rising electricity prices. Experts point elsewhere (and other sources):
Trump called wind and solar power “THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY!” in a social media post and vowed not to approve wind or “farmer destroying Solar” projects. “The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!” he wrote on his Truth Social site.
So short-sighted... (sigh)

The situation in Tehran is the result of "a perfect storm of climate change and corruption,"
The current Iranian regime seems pretty "Off with their heads!" for the slightest infraction and they can't punish whatever corruption is at play here? Is it because it's being done by those in religious/political/financial (whatever) power rather than rabble?
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
