The amount of money spent on Apollo was insane. A reduced budget should have been sufficient. It's just been weighted down by shit cost-plus contracts and the abomination that is SLS.

The fear of China here is that they are basically single handedly their closest competitor. They're the only other nation thats managed a Mars Rover landing, building space station, and have their own plans for Moon and Mars with taikonauts( astronaut equivalent) on the ground in the future.

no living creatures to cause it to rot

Soon termites will evolve for space environment. On a serious note this does seem cool. The amount of satellites going to burn like disposable starlink ones will be an issue. This prototype is small, but this would be good for cubesats.

I would actually like to see a new V show. I actually liked the last show ( never seen the original). I think NBC did Heroes, maybe they could make a new series in that world or something.

Feels like such a reach. I have no love for Amazon but what are they supposed to do here? Ask you at check out "Are you trying to commit suicide with these items?" Typing is most keywords for suicide and Google pops up with suicide prevention info on top screen already. People who want to do something will find a way.

This sucks. For awhile prices were so great for consumers. Finally thought prices would settle low. I'm already seeing a 50% increase in some products. Some cheap team group 128gb SSD could be had for like $12 last year. I tried to look at prices a few days back and it was about $20 and rising.

From article looks like they don't want to settle at prices before plummet, but at recent peak prices. Shit companies raising cutting output to inflate prices. Car companies are going to be next to follow. They've had to cut prices to sell recently. Once that settles ....

I'd forgotten they were gonna start doing this. I've got Amazon for the shipping there video has always been leaking. I use it maybe twice a year. They're probably trying to delay a price increase to Amazon and increase revenue.

Don't these people just pull ads then return within the month? Rinse and repeat.

I don't see Google raising that storage limit anytime soon. They've spent the past 2 years years trying to get rid of storage requirements on their end. They combined drive, email, and photo storage in the same storage limit. They're about to start trimming inactive Google accounts. The plan here is to push people into the higher 1TB plan which might be more profitable for them. I'm amazed the price for the plans have held steady. I'd expect a price increase from either Google or OneDrive.

This seems like a bad plan. While Fire OS has always been an outdated mess of AOSP, it still supports large pool of apps with sideloading. This is also probably expensive to build and they continue losing large amounts with their Alexa stuff. I wish for a third option besides just Android and IOS ,but I'm not holding my breath for this being it.

I've been using fakespot for a few months now and it seems hit or miss a lot of times. I'm hoping that Mozilla has been making changes to improve the implementation of how it checks reviews.

Wow I didn't know this site was still around. I thought it shut down like 4 years ago

Well looks like Demerzel didn't want Day to stay on Trantor for his safety but because she was worried he'd handle the situation in typical Empire fashion. Looks like Demerzel has given up on this Day incarnation with those words before her departure.
