I’m confused, because doesn’t Duckduckgo Maps already use Apple Maps?

This is why they call it a dogfight

Turret Toss champion on a technicality?

They made the Coke Freestyle machine into its own store?

I brought up Northrop because I’m guessing they bid a Cygnus derived deorbit vehicle.

How is this a handout? They bid for a contract and won it vs competitors.

I’m hoping we get a source selection statement soon where they spell out why companies like Northrop and Blue didn’t win.

Copa Cabana

And neither will we

Only if the Polish trucker convoy lets you through

Calum makes great videos! I love his stuff

Eh. Mine freaks out and fails half the time I try to go full screen. And the frame rate seems like it gets awful randomly.

I’m moving and starting over with a lot of my computer / AV setup. I had Plex awhile ago but haven’t run a media server in at least a few years. Should I go with Jellyfin or Emby? Or something else? I guess the main limitation is streaming to a smart TV.

NASA paid for it, and ITAR restrictions mean they’re probably pretty dang American.

They were already trying to ruin it with Tidal exclusive albums

I switched to AntennaPod for podcasts because of this. It’s also just a better experience - it auto downloads new episodes and deletes them after playing.

I couldn’t find any kind of history of tech bubbles that wasn’t pro-bubble. Going backwards: “AI”, VR, Blockchain/Crypto, …, Dot Com bubble? I feel like there have to be more examples in there that I’m missing.

Beancounters gonna beancount

Engineering is a cost center, they don’t make money!

I don’t think this is true anymore. The cost of a rideshare with SpaceX is super accessible. Companies can launch for <$1 million. This has been huge for a lot of companies trying to launch a proof of concept or one-off, and even for some operational constellations.

AstroForge thinks they can close the business case for asteroid mining. Their concept is to launch mining satellites to near-Earth M-type asteroids to mine platinum group metals. These would go on 2 year missions to bring back $100 million+ in metal at a time. With launch and satellite costs dropping, it might just work. Their forge demo sat has been struggling but moving forward. Their asteroid flyby demo sat should launch later this year.

Redwire 3d printed a meniscus in space last year. That’ll take awhile to get worthwhile scale and cost, but it’s another interesting avenue.

Varda hit regulatory trouble, but their orbital drug manufacturing demo did its job.
