SpaceX launched the mission using the Falcon 9 first stage B1078, making its 28th flight. Some of their rockets have done 33-34 launches, that is absurd amount of costs savings vs using a new rocket each time. Analyst estimates peg the annual replacement and expansion cost at around $1.5 - $2 billion, while the service generates approximately $11 - $16 billion in annual revenue. The initial cost of building out the network is relatively large. The cost of keeping it running is going to be relatively small compared to the revenue it generates. IF / When they get Starship reliably operational, that will lower the cost of launch per satellite even further.

But most likely it does go through sorting, it's just discovered as non-compliant waste and is sorted out from the plastics and then goes to the dump. In a bit better recycling center it should probably end up with the rest of the electronic waste. Hiding a tracker inside a plastic container does not work as a huge magnet will still find it...

And just like that, all Stellantis group vehicles are off my short-list for the next car...

What is reasonable is that you have a talk with your child about the consequences of their actions if they ever attempt to use your credit card without your explicit permission. Stealing is a crime. A proper corrective action should include a ban on Roblox for the next X weeks with some additional chores. What is not reasonable is to expect online retailers or credit card companies to handle your mistakes in parenting. Also, enable 2FA for your online purchases if at all possible.

I believe a lot of credit should go to the the engineering team members who figured out how to simulate the rocket for testing the software and safely land the darn thing. So abot 75% of that credit probably belongs to that lone engineer who spent her / his nights figuring out how not to explode / tilt over / slam into ground / go off course etc. My applause to the engineers of the team!

I wonder if Google / Apple / Facebook etc. could actually combine and get that data together faster and more accurately globally.

We have this e-prescription system in Estonia for over 2 years now, nation wide. The good - It's easier to get some recurring prescriptions that you have to take all the time, you just calle the doctor and say you are running low on the meds, he checks your previous prescriptions and can easily see that yes, you should have only a few left... (to detect you are not attempting to scam extra medicines for black market or something). Also another good thing is that combined with an electronic pharmacy database, you can check online exactly which pharmacies currently have this medicine in stock in the right quantity(My partner takes meds that come in 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100mg forms, She only wants the 100mg ones). The bad - Initially they had performance problems because they forgot one basic simple thing when calculating peak usage - All elderly / pension receiving people(They are also the ones who require a lot of prescription medicines.) get their pension on the same day in the beginning of the month. This gives them a reason to leave the house and go to the city, and most of them also buy their medicines within the 2 days period following it, causing a massive performance bottle-necks for that moment(This problem was later fixed by adding more servers + optimizing).

This is super! This means that a lot of companies will finally bother, or at least consider it, to pay the development companies(and consultants) to replace or patch their old web based intranets and business softwares. This my friends means pretty soon we'll have a lot more work, which means we can bill them adequately(because you can say that this time we built it on the latest and greatest HTML5 standards)! Unless of course some manager decides it's simpler to let their IT department just opt out of the upgrade and pretend they will be OK for the next 10 years using IE6.

This solution what the parent is suggesting is a rather good one actually and can be used in the PHP world also, although you still need some good library to help you handle the json objects but that is trivial. It does involve a rather big paradigm shift as you end up with coding a lot of your business logic in javascript on the client-side and using a lot of short ajax requests. But it does allow you do be more dynamic on the front-end in any way the customer sees fit. The down-side is actually that you are writing big parts of your code in javascript which can be a problem if you want to keep your code hidden from the prying eyes. Security as mentioned can be an issue if not properly handled by the backend. To sum up the parent commenters post: The best framework might just be a HTML5 and a powerful javascript library combo. ExtJS, JQuery and Dojo are all rather good.

Having a separate subdomain for images, video and content can actually improve speed when those subdomains are cookie-less and properly cached. Although having one subdomain like that would be preferred. Also, many developers are using Google(or others) CDN for javascript frameworks and popular API's to improve loading speed(You are very likely to already have the Google CDN JQuery in your browsers cache) and reduce bandwidth usage.

Depending on static/PHP/Python/WhatEverYouUse engines, i think 16GB is a bit overkill for 1000+ users per day, but it all depends on the application ofcourse.
