Not the radio spectrum, by definition. Visible light and radio are different parts of the spectrum

I can’t see how they’d do it, proton gets installed by the steam client. That client doesn’t run with root privilege, so at the very least they’d have to trigger a password dialog which would be highly obvious.

It does matter, because that Google integration didn’t happen by magic. Whatever the site is, they chose to do things that way.

The only way Google stops things like this is if they get actual pushback, and the only realistic way to achieve that is to make the people using their service reconsider.

My understanding is there was little to no actual science in that data.

To be science, the data would need to be systematic and care would need to be taken to exclude confounding factors. What that unit did doesn’t become science simply because they made notes.

If you’re sure it’s the same day, then I’ll bet they take far more photos than they actually use. Those photos go into some database somewhere, and they have a program which goes through them all and picks the ones it needs to generate street view.

What must have happened is that they’ve made a change to that software for some reason, or possibly they’ve gotten new photos somewhere nearby, so they’ve run it again and it’s picked different photos to use this time

Pretty sure that would be advertising from space, rather than in space, which would definitely make a difference in this case

Yes, and they have a plan for what happens if the rocket explodes. It wouldn’t be completely safe against an explosion this intense, but the dragon capsule (like all manned vehicles, aside from the very notable exception of the space shuttle) can eject itself from the rocket to protect the crew from explosions

Nobody was hurt. As a general rule nobody fuels a rocket without planning as if it’s going to explode in exactly this fashion. The pad didn’t survive, but nobody was anywhere near this thing when it blew up

No, there’s still a fundamental disconnect there.

The law may say they have to, but they don’t actually have to. The difference is important

They’d be supposed to, but they certainly don’t have to. Nobody can actually tell the jury what to decide, or there’d be no point in a jury

It was pointed out to me a while back that the paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you consider tolerance to be a philosophical position.

In fact, we don’t treat it like that. We treat it as a social contract, in which context it is no paradox at all to say that if you aren’t tolerant then other people aren’t obliged to tolerate you in turn
