Yes, they do seem to be lagging. > Ironically, India and Russia had at first planned to jointly design and launch Chandrayaan-2, after the historic discovery of water by ISRO’s first lunar probe in 2011. Differences arose between their s

Various open source licenses offer varied and particular benefits to the right-holders and the users. You have outlined some of them that suits your particular needs. Let me expand on that. The only open source license that preserves your

As an indian I am proud that the ISRO - with a current annual budget of around 1.5 billion dollar - succeeded in its moon mission.

Where did you get that figure from? The article linked to previously ( https://jamestown.org/program/russian-space-spending-for-202... )says the current annual expenditure is $3.7 billion and Russia is planning to inve

Not necessarily - India, China, Japan and US have all upped their ante on space exploration and so Russia will too. (And with the US militarising space with its US Space Force, well, ... "Begun, the space war, has ..." )

Apparently this was the 25th craft sent by the Russians to explore the moon, after a gap of 2-3 decades, highlighting how gaps in practice can hamper competency.

Yes, yellow pee is normal. But it can also be an indicator that you have consumed less water. When we drink "adequate" water, our pee is less yellowish and can even be quite clear.

This is a very interesting development. This would imply that any work product generated by an AI would be public domain, right? If BigTech generate code using AI for their products, can we demand the source code?

MySQL is a successful product that was sold to Sun / Oracle for a BILLION dollars. MariaDB and Percona Server are good examples of competing businesses produced from a commercially successful GPL opensource software (MySQL): - MariaDB:

Yes, you chose the wrong license without understanding its implications. > My sense is that adopting AGPL for a brand new product typically causes the product to be dead on arrival. It may hinder adoption (in the corporate world) but n

I remember claims that the Mirasol display was capable of playing videos at 60 fps, which e-ink displays can't. Was disappointed that the tech development on this stalled.

That sounds very much like someone I know. She had pain in her stomach that doctors in the US just refused to examine in depth. One prescribed her pain-killers and another steroid. She asked more tests but they declined. Her father is a doc

Yes, I understand that synthetics are hydrophobic and thus don't absorb water. I guess our personal preferences are biasing us - I live in a country that is hot, and so I prefer cotton as it absorbs sweat and cools down my body faster,

Your experience doesn't trump scientific facts about cotton's properties. But on re-reading your comment it sounds like your experience may be based on using cotton in cold climates - obviously in a cold climate, the sweat absorbe

There's a reason why cotton clothes are preferred in hot climates - Cotton is very water absorbent, but it also dries quickly, which makes it highly moisture wicking.

Does not sound like pure cotton at all - Since the earliest days of cotton cultivation, this fabric has been prized for its exceptional breathability and lightness. Cotton fabric is also incredibly soft ... Cotton is very water absorbent,
