Good.
Google should have been doing that anyway. They are plagiarizing the content for free; the least they could do is actually acknowledge where they got it from.

Being that its a mac, Apples Pages and Numbers apps are surprisingly functional software and I havent found many Doc or XLS files it cant open and work with.
Pages can't open old Mac word processing documents from decades ago (anybody remember Clarisworks? MacWrite?)
LibreOffice can.
Or dump Microsoft and switch to LibreOffice.
Property taxes—paying for fire, police, and emergency services that they will never use, plus some high-paying jobs taking care of it.. For poor counties these are giant revenue sources.
They would be giant revenue sources... unless, of course, they are given tax breaks.
Hell of an assumption considering which company volunteered to retrieve astronauts from the ISS after "only" another rocket company failed to do so.
Not sure what you mean by "volunteered". SpaceX was paid to retrieve the astronauts, which they did as part of their contracted flights to the space station.
True.
SpaceX's recent successes tend to make people forget that the company started out with three failures in their first three attempts to launch their first rocket, the Falcon-1. (And, for that matter, SpaceX also had it's share of explosions on the pad during a static fire.)
Yeah: space is hard.
I'm not an expert on rebuilding massively exploded launch infrastructure; but I have a suspicion that a 2026-2029 plan is now going to involve less Blue Origin than previously believed.
Ars Technica has an article discussing how this is a major setback in the NASA lunar plan: https://arstechnica.com/space/...
Blue Origin's lander doesn't fly with a Blue Origin Rocket, afaik.
In fact, the Blue Moon lander is designed to launch on New Glenn. It's designed to fit the NG's 7-meter fairing.

Only thing I can think of is they will use tiny rockets or air jets in place of propellors...
Right, these are rocket-powered drones.
That means their total flight time will be limited by the amount of fuel they start with, but it should be enough to hop around to multiple sites, including (I'll hope) sites too uneven to land a large lunar lander.
The answer is no, because anxiety and job insecurity is not a Culture Shift, it's already our culture.
A "tool" that lets one programmer do the work of 20 means that 19 will be laid off, regardless of how well they learn the tools. To say nothing of people working in other industries "disrupted" by those tools who will be laid off no matter what they do.
>>Less than a Steam Deck!
>>But the company lost more than $4.9 billion last year, compared with a $791 million profit in 2024, as capital expenditures nearly doubled to $20.7 billion from heavy spending on artificial intelligence development.
At first I assumed that this was because Musk merged xAI with SpaceX, but that didn't actually happen until 2026. Why was SpaceX spending so much on AI during 2025? Is this research for the bonkers data-centers-in-space nonsense?
Google is trying hard to kill sideloading so probably not.
Dark energy and matter are not explanations. They're the names given to the problems of discrepancies between model and measurements.
More explicitly, they are names given to a proposed solution to the problem of discrepancies between models and measurements. Measurements show that objects in the universe move in a way that isn't fully accounted for by the gravity of all the things that we can see (that is, the stuff emitting or reflecting light), so the proposed explanation is that the discrepancy in motion is due to the gravity of things that isn't emitting or reflecting light.
This is a hypothesis. It fits the facts we have so far. We still have to find evidence that the hypothesis is correct, or that the hypothesis is wrong. That's how science is done. You come up with a hypothesis that fits the measurements you have, then you look for ways to see if the hypothesis is correct.
The best way to accelerate a Macintoy is at 9.8 meters per second per second.
