The Vela pulsar is said to have a surface diameter of 12 miles. So, any point on its surface along the rotational equator, assuming rigidity, mass is moving hella fast. (2 pi (6 miles)) / ((1 / 11) seconds) = 667379 m/s That's about 0.2% of C, vs a point at its rotational pole. It's roughly 4x the fastest manmade object, the Parker probe, reaching 148000 m/s briefly while it did a gravity slingshot maneuver.

There is a whole world of difference between
"The lander, as expected, did not reply." and
"The lander did not reply as expected."

The "Moron in a Hurry" doctrine is a legal phrase used in trademark disputes. Guess now it can be used in a liability case.

All this pedantry and nobody pointed out the original summary says "sleep for the 655 hour night" when the 655 hours is the full diurnal cycle, or 27.3 Earth days.

Unity deprecated their VS Code support a year ago. Vanishingly few hobby developers use the debugger and single-step through Unity C# code, but lots of professional developers do.

I said the same thing tomorrow but the mods deleted it. They've picked their side.

The "robot holding a shotgun" was a plot device. We can't wrap our brains around billions of IoT devices self-organising, so he told that story through the representation of various characters.

That's the Terminator series of films to me. May there be many more!

Watch out, now Muskelon will issue a Cease and Desist against you for using his trademark.

Thanks for clarifying, guruevi.

I was hoping to gather examples of data being stolen when services not using e2ee. Would be a useful thing to document so that policy makers can understand why they shouldn't ban e2ee.

If anyone has examples, I'd be very interested.

Seems like the type of story that should help policy makers understand that they shouldn't ban end-to-end encryption. The EU is talking of banning e2ee.

But can someone confirm that encryption would have prevented this?

The linked story says "The vulnerability allows hackers to gain unauthorized access to an affected MOVEit serverâ(TM)s database." So I guess the data was unencrypted on the server.

A lot of things could be reduced to this, but does it really matter if you're looking at the real Proxima Centauri or a slice of Chorizo? What's the point of looking at art?

If looking at a "live" photo of Mars would get your mind racing about how far technology has come, then tune in and enjoy.

If you want to go do something else, that's fine too.

What do they mean by "it wonâ(TM)t be truly live"?

Only one picture every 50 seconds, 17 minute delay for transmission of the signal. Still "live", AFAICT. Those are just quality issues. Given the conditions, the quality is nothing to complain about.

If you're interested in the technical details of how they manage to do that, there was a very interesting presentation on it at WineConf last year. It turns out Apple has been fairly accommodating to their requirements in this respect.

He developed a definition for free software, the concept of copyleft, a set of licences to implement copyleft, he travelled the world for decades building support for this, he wrote code for GCC and GNU Emacs and a lot of other software projects that enabled others to make the packages we use today, he inspired campaigns against software patents, against DRM, against bad copyright laws.

And he persevered despite decades of insults and other people trying to ensure no one heard of his work.
