I remember when they were talking about launching PoS back in 2018. At this point it’s performing better than NASA’s SLS rocket but still significantly delayed

Despair over not talking about politics on work channels? Are they absolutely consumed with politics that they can’t focus on actual work tasks? I have worked with someone who insists on inserting a political topic or headline into every meeting and it’s distracting and exhausting

The would not know at that point whether the CM pilot had his spacesuit helmet on or not, so they wouldn't know until they opened the hatch whether they had just killed him.

There were windows on the command module to look in, and if they weren't sure if he was responsive/unresponsive, they could tap iron onto the command module to let Collins know they were there and spacewalking.

It's an interesting thought process though, and I would appreciate the source if you can find it

The following quotes are fairly interesting and ironic:

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were originally pretty negative about search engines that sold ads. Appendix A in their original paper says:

> "we expect that advertising-funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers"

and that

> "we believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent and in the academic realm"

The following 16 URLs have been used to clone legit media sites, back-date articles and later file fake DMCA complains to Google

What are the consequences for abusing DMCA? Should they be stiffened?

It’s likely true that defectors (by reason they defected) have legitimate stories to tell and they are both paid & given a platform to tell their stories by governments. Giving someone a megaphone doesn’t make their story less true does it?

Risks in Microsoft’s foreign dealings also came into relief when the Biden administration imposed sanctions Thursday on a half-dozen Russian IT companies it said support Kremlin hacking. Most prominent was Positive Technologies, which was among more than 80 companies that Microsoft has supplied with early access to data on vulnerabilities detected in its products. Following the sanctions announcement, Microsoft said Positive Tech was no longer in the program and removed its name from a list of participants on its website.

What?! Microsoft gave vulnerability data to a Russian company that hacked the USA? Why was that company even in this program to begin with?
