In the long term, they're pretty much the most important missions possible - even absent disasters, Earth only has so many resources, so designing and testing the technology for extraterrestrial habitation is rather essential. Admitted

Personally, I much prefer the manual ones, where I can trivially tweak the settings without having to think about it or look away from the road. But that's in part because I usually have the windows down, so constant adjustment is need

This demonstrates the amazing savings of crowdsourcing appeals. It only took 2-3 hours for Apple to assess the PR cost of banning the app and decide it's not worth the income increase.

Throw enough nukes around and Europa might start to look a pleasant alternative.

And that's in the best case . In reality, consumers don't get anywhere near a local maximum, as they are neither well-informed nor entirely rational.

Well, IIRC no BD-10 ever actually went supersonic.

You can do some of that with uBO (see "hard" blocking mode), but my understanding is that uMatrix gives you more granular control. I need to learn more about using uMatrix to confirm, though.

`datetime.fromisoformat()`, as of 3.7 :D Though `dateutil` is still recommended for most cases.

You can also disable JS via uBlock Origin by default, and enable it on a site-by-site basis.

$5m by 1985, with another $3.5m earmarked [1]. Accounting generously for inflation, that's $25m today [2]. It would be interesting to know what the price would look like if they tried the same thing today. [1] https://archiv

It's very much not an ideal solution, but uBlock Origin lets you block large media elements (and reenable them temporarily or on a site-by-site basis), which might help.

Less than you would expect for Powell's, since they have an excellent online store for their books.

Disable Javascript and the modal goes away. As does most tracking and other irritations. I strongly recommend doing so for most news sites.

Seems to be okay on Firefox on my S5 (though it takes a minute to load), in case you want to view it.

I'll have to try that out, somehow I'd not considered that.

Disabling Javascript by default avoids most of this, though it breaks some sites.

Solar watt-hours are not converted to BTUs at a rate > 1, however, the device effectively uses each watt-hour multiple times, as some of the energy is recovered after each cycle. Needless to say, if the goal were to produce energy, this

We badly need a good replacement - ICANN has recently been making it abundantly clear how poor a choice it is to rely on an opaque, unaccountable centralized entity for something as crucial as DNS. Whether or not you agree with their decisi

Note that because the Earth is tilted, this region of space is pretty much useless - there's very few (if any) useful orbits beyond a geostationary, and any spacecraft heading into interplanetary space is going to be aligned with the p

One plane landing shortly after another departs is standard procedure, provided they have sufficient separation [0]. However, the separation in this case became too tight after the previous landing had vacated the runway, so ATC issued a go

Not really - either you send the ids unencrypted and they're trivial to falsify, or you send them securely, in which case it takes a lot more power to decrypt each request for filtering than it does for the attacker to send each new re
