Sex scenes in movies are a combination of this weird shameful "I want to show I'm having sex but I can't actually show it" and "It's almost like porn if you removed all the porn."
You're really stuck in a pointless awkward middle ground that satisfies nobody. And 95% of the time it isn't even plot relevant so you're just wasting time. The decline basically just coincides with internet access to the masses.

Data recovery specialists exist, and nobody would pay for them if the data they were recovering wasn't, you know, valuable enough to pay a specialist to maybe retrieve it. They probably deal with multimillion dollar industrial/financial/business secrets all the time, and do it discreetly, or else their business wouldn't even exist.

I mean, as long as they are willing to pay all the costs of digging up a landfill up front... Why not?

I basically fill in the details as the questions were asked. It could have been anything from a billiard ball on a pool table to a rubber ball on a dining room table. Anything unimportant is basically left "unfilled" or generic until it needs detail.
The person who pushed it was vaguely male, again no details unless the question is asked. They may as well have been a featureless mannequin.

Lictblitz is saying they aren't capable of orbit. Which is very different from simply choosing not to.

In fact, suffering increases a whole lot because medical and agricultural tech is still tech, not to mention how much life-saving and quality improvement is brought in by communications technology. Some people really think you can just click the "medical" tab in Civilization and guarantee only the benefits of the one technology you like.

The main point is, you need a crazy person to have crazy ideas. Even if 95% of his ideas are shot down, the last 5% are still crazy shit nobody else would thought was possible and never bother to seriously pay some engineers to try it if he wasn't in a leadership position.
Without him, there will be much less crazy, but both the good and bad kind. I fear the day SpaceX just becomes another Boeing.
Seriously, just landing rockets was laughed off as a stupid waste of time by all the industry incumbents just 6 years ago. That was a crazy stupid Elon Musk idea even dumber than the cybertruck at the time, and look where we are now.

I wish rocket lab the best and hope that one day they can have a competing heavy lift/human certified spacecraft.
However, it's nigh impossible to ignore how much SpaceX alone has reshaped the space industry and is basically forcing everybody else to step up.

Not remake the entire shuttle, but to simply design a disposable rocket and build a hundred of those, instead of a space plane.

The space shuttle was technically reusable, but not in a way that was beneficial to anyone. The time and cost of refurbishing the shuttle after every launch was so much they may as well have built a brand new disposable rocket for each mission.
SpaceX may have built the first reusable rocket that actually saves money

I think the general rule of thumb is to shift the units of time up.
If he says 2 weeks, try 2 months. If he says 2 months, wait 2 years.
Robotaxis in 2 decades I think is actually achievable.

From my understanding, the P8P's video boost can't be done in the phone itself, but it's actually uploading the video to Google's servers, processing it there, then downloading the finished product back again. In fact, it probably uploads two videos, one at high ISO and one at low ISO to get the full HDR range. For anyone who wants to take lots of videos, this sounds like it'll blow through your data caps very quickly.
Big jump for the regular 8 but no increase at all for the pro?
Looking at the details listed from this leak, it looks like all the previous leaks were wrong. The specs for the main sensor are the same as the P7, the Samsung GN1 sensor. Also rumors of the IMX787 ultrawide appear to be incorrect as well, only 48MP instead of 64.
Still waiting for Canoo to produce a consumer version, but at least they've made the vehicles for NASA. Maybe the publicity from this will help them get enough interest for the initial production and sales?
I'm guessing it's still a production line test unit, but it seems like the design is finalized and volume production could actually begin by the end of the year
Can't wait to see more of these. I hope that Rivian eventually makes an RV/camper version of this, it would go well with their adventure vehicle branding
