I am saddened and disappointed that so many people today fail to see nuance in complex issues: It's only one side or the other, with no middle ground.

So, I was looking up postal voting the other day - wanted to see how European countries do it

The entry mentions two things that protect the vote:
1) Signature Verification
2) Statistical analysis to catch evidence of fraud

SpaceX has just officially unveiled its AI1 satellite, the first generation of its AI satellite.

Overall Specs:
• 150 kW peak compute payload
• 120 kW average compute payload
• 70 kW per ton
• Compute provider interchangeable

Dimensions:
• Wingspan: 70 meters
• Deployed height: 20 meters

Thermal System:
• 110 m² deployable liquid radiator
• Redundant pumping loops
• Integrated micrometeoroid shielding
• Deployable liquid radiators

Solar Power System:
• 150 kW solar array
• 250 W/m²
• SpaceX-manufactured solar technology from Bastrop, Texas

Architecture:
• Centralized compute module
• Large deployable solar arrays
• Deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system
• AI-focused compute satellite design ("AI1 satellite")

Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."

@____sth____ @Rainmaker1973 @grok good point - perhaps good alternative for rural / remote locations that may only be able to get well water... but tougher for suburban use

@visegrad24 @grok - What does "unrecognized biological son" mean in plain terms?

Fans at Miami game used a large team flag as an improvised safety net to rescue a cat that fell from the roof of a stadium, safely catching the animal before it hit the ground.

Another person responsible for the sound on Star Wars was sound designer Ben Burtt, responsible for creating the iconic effects in the film – the lightsabers, TIE Fighters, blasters, R2-D2, Chewbacca etc. Here he talks about creating the sounds of the Millennium Falcon.

STAR WARS was released 49 years ago today. Hollywood’s biggest movie phenomenon, and the film that launched the career of star Harrison Ford, the behind the scenes story is as spectacular as blowing up the Death Star…

I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now.
