It’s quite dead judging by the data we currently have. Nothing short of a miracle will save MAVEN.

Honestly someone should code this up using public data, just to show that just because you’re on the fediverse doesn’t mean you’re private or secure.

“Fuck ethics” and “don’t kill children” are mutually incompatible statements.

You believe in ethics, you just put the line at a different point than other people. Maybe that means exactly what the article says - our society needs to start discussing the situation to see where we want to draw the line.

And don’t get me wrong, I agree with you in general. Humans tend to be TOO worried about ethics, for example GMO plants are generally quite harmless despite being outright banned in large swaths of the world.

Amazon is more “warehousing and fulfillment” than it is “storefront”.

This would be hard to replicate without immense capital.

These satellites are designed to fully burn up on reentry. There is effectively zero chance of that.

On the flip side, the aerosols created by burning satellites destroy the ozone layer.

Sorry that’s the only way. I don’t make the rules.

You do it so you can be easily degloved.

They are saying it’s redundant, and therefore unnecessary.

Being bright or not has nothing to do with it. Both intelligent people and less-intelligent people have excellent reasons to hate Musk.

Regardless of that, Falcon 9 is exceptionally reliable.

What are you on about? Crew Dragon might be the most reliable ride to space ever.

All of SpaceX’s bullshit with Starship is completely separate from Dragon/Falcon9.

By that logic the only non-arbitrary dimension is defined by gravity, so the primary axis (X) should be up and down.

Math is not rigid like you are saying: 3D coordinates can be oriented in any direction because they are fundamentally arbitrary. A lot of people a damn lot smarter than you have damn good reasons for using different coordinate systems, and they are mathematically correct.

By your own logic there is no “up”, only x/y/z, so what’s your complaint?

There is NO mathematical or physical reason why XY should be the floor, that is your own bias.

Thank god, this is the one true coordinate system

Yeah the first one is a left handed coordinate system.

The enemy’s gate defines where down is.

Eh sort of? It’s all a matter of perspective. In Blender which uses a right hand system, when you view from the side, right is positive Y, up is positive Z, and towards the user is positive X.

But looking from above, positive X is right, positive Y is up, and positive Z is towards the camera. Obviously if you rotate the camera to be viewing from the negative side of the axis some directions get flipped.

Basically if you’re axis aligned, things work out the way you would expect.

Pushing Daisies?

Only in a top-down perspective. Most screens are vertically oriented though, meaning the reference 2D plane is left-right-up-down.
