I think that CNCF has better handle on abandonware, plus really good observably. https://devstats.cncf.io/

My elderly mother uses it for iMessage, facebook, surfing the web, some sports apps, and lots of crossword and puzzle apps.


Found this at least [1]: "In 2010, as part of the ongoing Luna Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) NASA mission, the Miniature Radio-Frequency (Mini-RF) instrument acquired data that included a pit in Mare Tranquilitatis,” said Professor Lorenzo Bruzzone in a statement. “Years later we have reanalysed these data with complex signal processing techniques we have recently developed, and have discovered radar reflections from the area of the pit that are best explained by an underground cave conduit. This discovery provides the first direct evidence of an accessible lava tube under the surface of the Moon."

I can't help but think of the Moon is a Harsh Mistress every time I hear this news.


I think it sounds more like The Lotus Caves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lotus_Caves


There ain't no such thing as a free caves!


So we're now saying the specific type of cheese that the moon is made from is Swiss?


It's Wensleydale, as documented in "A Grand Day Out".


That documentary was full of holes.


This has long been suspected due to the spheroidal indentations in the lunar surface.


This is a remnant of the Great Fondue period shortly after the moon’s creation.


Yes, but who cut the cheese?


That would be the vending machine on the skis.


Indeed [1] "Computer security and information privacy expert Bruce Schneier compared MICT to the mass surveillance of the National Security Agency (NSA), revealed in June 2013 by Edward Snowden. Schneier said, "Basically, [the USPS is] doing the same thing as the [NSA] programs, collecting the information on the outside of your mail, the metadata, if you will, of names, addresses, return addresses and postmark locations, which gives the government a pretty good map of your contacts, even if they aren't reading the contents."

I like this use case. - Even if not entirely practical, it highlights a real issue and challenge we face as a society. Let's try to auto-tune down the tone of angry customers.

Our brains are wired to connect with others, and this includes picking up on and replicating emotions and behaviors. It's part of our mirror neuron system, which helps us understand and empathize with others. While this is beneficial in many social interactions, it can lead to escalation in conflict situations if not managed properly.


I'm having trouble parsing tfa; does this mean the sun is at "solar maximum" now, and does this also mean we may be in for some more frequent and intense auroras?


You can see the sunspot cycle progression here, looks like solar maximum will last a year or two:

I had a friend that interned for a state senator and she operated the "Robo Pen" to sign correspondence. I was impressed to see this listed on the site: https://www.drawingmachines.org/post.php?id=207


This is what black boxes should be constructed with.


If you look at the Wikipedia for Inconel, it does actually mention that it is used as the engraving medium for black boxes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inconel


In this case the same airlines are killing efforts for high speed rail between the major Texas metros. AA and SWA would lose out if an efficient rail alternative existed.


I’ve had some colleagues take this flight from HOU to DAL or vice versa, and they love it. The flights show up these days in SAP Concur, but in my experience have always been just out of reach of “policy” which creates exceptions and alerts in our corp t&e bureaucracy. I travel quite a bit and would jump at the chance if the fares were only $30 less.

Combined with the devaluation of flyer miles and loyalty programs, JSX is in a great position to bridge the gap until we get a train


Pay the thirty dollar delta yourself? Charge it to your own card and only expense the allowed amount?
