If you shoot a drone, it drops loot.

How did the Russian or Soviet scientists ascertain the origin of the samples vs say JSC-1, the Lunar Regolith Simulant mined near the San Francisco peaks in Flagstaff?

Now analyze the consequences to Ozone from atmospheric nuclear detonations with mushroom clouds billowing up into this stratosphere.

I think it is 5 kilotons of Nitric oxide per megaton of explosive yield.

NO + O3 --> NO2 + O2
NO2 + O --> NO + O2
net O + O3 --> 2O2

Enough tonnage was detonated to destroy every molecule of Ozone 4x over in this catalytic reaction.

One way to mitigate the damage might be to crack down on Nitric oxide emissions from automobiles, to ban chlorofluorocarbons (and pin it on them), and even to spray reflective particles into the air to give UV a second pass through the stratosphere in an attempt to replenish the Ozone faster via the natural process.

Do you suppose nuclear powers would have liabilities for cooking off the Ozone? Is this why they no longer do atmospheric tests?

These ISPs have been getting windfall funds for COVID and Rural Broadband and everything else and haven't delivered.

Their entire business model seems predicated on government grants and they play the game extremely well.

The Venusian Space Force is monitoring this situation and stands ready to repel any Earthlings violating their sovereign territory.

Earth air is a lifting gas on Venus. Why not inflate a bladder and float like a bobber to collect data indefinitely. Photovoltaics should work like a dream there too.

Could drop a tether into the depths to get a heat differential and maybe power it heat engine style too. Or send your sensors down to various depths and see if there's a biology containing layer.

Can you generalize the Google Project Loon outcome so it can be done on Venus as well?

If you're going all that way, you can do a lot more science with just a few modifications.

It might be good to get rid of Bill Gates.

Remember the early days of the Internet, before walled gardens like Facebook and Twitter existed, when you ran your own gopher or web server, your own services, published your own content, and search engines crawled all this to index it. Maybe I would finger you to see what was new.. And we still can.

We've lost something in the outsourcing and centralization.

He did beat Biden. Frame the purge in that truth and tell me what you see.

Get off my lawn, son.

Absolutely correct.

The purge will backfire. I'm most disappointed by tech purists here championing it.

Distributed networking cannot be stopped but now you've lost the ability to analyze this speech at scale. This is a regression.

I have no problem with what he was doing.
Buy low, sell high, that's the art of the deal.
This guy was getting product where there was demand, at a price the market was willing to bear.
If you don't like his prices, don't buy it. If you can offer the product at a lower price, you'll take all his business.
Maybe we decide, hey, we can make that stuff cheaper than he's selling it, and suddenly we have competition.
Consumer wins in the end.
You guys are capitalists, right?

Sony did have the Net Yaroze at one time.

How do you quickly monetize Project Kuiper? Phased-array satellite antennas aren't cheap yet.

My guess: Amazon is thinking of doing LEO sat backhaul of towers and using terrestrial spectrum licenses for last-mile delivery. It also gives them a network they own for their drone and fleet operations.
