@BTBusiness no internet since early morning on 23 June.

You have a reported fault at 06200160165 that should have been fixed last night.

In a world of AI, the skill that matters right now is not technical proficiency - it's clarity of intent... knowing what you want and being able to articulate it effectively

Looking at my last orders this time last year for some creatine and BCAA..

The stuff they don't advertise about:
Prices have increased 57% and 66% respectively within a year!

This is crazy!

@rcmisk @levelsio @X While great in theory, it has quite a lot of physical engineering challenges which have not been resolved yet. And if you believe Elon's timeframe of 2-3 years for this... Then, as he was saying 10 years ago, we should have been to Mars already.

@levelsio @X It's makes no difference if it's number 5 or not. The main reason is to keep funding xAI. Quite dilutive for SpaceX shareholders unfortunately..

But he has always envisioned "The X" - the everything app (company)

@wizzair I am absolitelly appalled by Wizzair's baggage costs...

Flight costs £18 and advertised as £18... 20kg checked in bag - £50 !!!
Happy to pay £20-£25..but £50 ??
Absolutely ridiculous... don't recommend. avoid

The recent React vulnerability has pushed Cloudflare to add a fix on the WAF - inadvertently causing their second big outage in 2 weeks...

28% of all HTTP traffic served by Cloudflare was affected for 25 mins.

I've been thinking about this for a long time...

The reality is, we had to hit this technological inflection point first (cheap launch, radiation tolerance, high-bandwidth inter-satellite links).
The future is now.

Space-based AI compute is finally here!
Project Suncatcher envisions Google TPUs on solar-powered satellite constellations, linked by high-speed optics.

£80 for 20kg checked in luggage per flight!

Seriously wizzair ? Seriously ??

Not going to chose this "low-fair" company.
Avoid.

Aviation needs serious regulation.. advertised as £18 per flight.. when you add your essentials its x5 !

@dom_sipowicz ok great. where can we watch it?

[Potter Rafed @PotterRafed]

@dom_sipowicz I agree. Google has got many years of battle-tested experience and data collection which they can use to iterate quickly until they find what makes users happy.

[Potter Rafed @PotterRafed]

@sardamit @v0 based on the URL my guess is an iOS app

[Potter Rafed @PotterRafed]

@sardamit @v0 it's mostly marketing trick to build up anticipation... also to track demand

[Potter Rafed @PotterRafed]

@v0 where is the love for android users?

@dom_sipowicz why would you write "kurwa" in the code or in the PR? 😅
