Yeah, look at the sizes planned on this one: https://www.starcloud.com/star...

Yeah, looks like they are planning 4 km of solar panels/heat dissipation.

Indeed.

Used to be you could filter out these kind of attacks by filtering based on RFC 3514. Unfortunately, lately all traffic from Google has been setting the bit and flooding the zone, so it's hard to see through all the noise.

My Facebook account was assassinated a few years back for posting "#NEVERAGAIN" and a link to the British Holocaust Memorial Day Trust on May 6. Reason eventually given: the link to a HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE PAGE was supposedly "glorifying violent individuals or organizations."

That's right. Nazi Trash Filth Zuckerberg decided that saying "#NEVERAGAIN" about the Holocaust was somehow "glorifying" violent individuals or organizations...

Numerous data breach notification laws just for starters, you dishonest Anonymous Meta-Employee Trash Troll Coward.

Meta as a company ought to have been shut down ages ago for so many violations of law. It's honestly amazing that they've managed to avoid it. Constant impersonation problems, constantly not just allowing but actually HELPING scam artists defraud people, constant security flaws that allowed for taken-over accounts, or that resulted in people losing their accounts through no fault of their own, irretrievably. The best advice I can offer someone is to NEVER use a Meta-owned system, ever.

Data centers in space are more expensive than data centers on earth. There is no way to avoid that. It doesn't matter how much you like Elon, the data center in space will always be more expensive.

The only reason to have data centers in space is if you want to do processing in space, for lower latency or something similar. And in fact, that is what the government wants to do.

It's part of the Golden Dome anti-missile defense. The architects have decided it's important to process missile tracking data in space, rather than sending it down to earth for processing.

They have a whole network of things up there processing and communicationg.

I haven't looked much at the architecture, but I suspect it's kludgy, completely lacking elegance.

Black body radiation. The heat is emitted in the form of infrared light (and other wavelengths, but mostly infrared).

Most satellites need to be carefully engineered to maintain their temperature range without getting too hot or too cold.

Indeed, a reasonable hypothesis is that ribosome-type life evolved first, and the the DNA mechanism evolved later, pushing out all the ribosome-style life except the traces of it that remain in our cells.

Francis Crick calculated how long it would take for life to evolve from scratch, and concluded it would take longer than the earth has existed. In response, he developed the hypothesis of panspermia, that life evolved elsewhere and somehow landed here (maybe just a few cells on an astroid). I don't have the ability to check his math on that hypothesis, so I don't have an opinion either way.

An enzyme is just a biological macro-molecule that catalyzes reactions. It doesn't need to be a protein.

The innovation seems to be having built a long chain of DNA from scratch that won't self-destruct instantly when put into a lipid envelope.

Genesis 7:29:

Sometimes called the 11th commandment. It's not widely reported because nobody knew what it meant. Now we do.

> No reason why actual antibiotics requires long and careful testing to make sure they are reasonably safe. We can do away with all that now!

Some of the more modern antibiotics can melt your liver or cause you to rip your tendons.

You definitely want these things to be thoroughly tested.
