So now SpaceX, with no working spacesuit, and years behind on it's multi-billion dollar moon lander, is lobbying NASA to go to the Hubble Space Telescope.

"A successful private mission could improve Hubble's ability to point at celestial objects and, by boosting its orbit, extend its life by years... however, an accident could leave the multibillion-dollar telescope broken — or, even more tragically, tethered to the dead bodies of the astronauts sent to repair it."

Every chance I've had to interact with satellite operators in conferences, I've asked them about their plans for dealing with solar storms (I'm particularly worried about Starlink, which requires dozens of maneuvers per day to avoid collisions. What if a large fraction shuts down for a few hours?!)

The universal response to my inquiries has been "Don't worry about that, it'll be fine!"

I guess we're going to find out very soon. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/

one thing about living in a country with sloths is that they're dumb and always getting in trouble, so there's often a traffic jam because someone is trying to save a sloth from grabbing into a live wire or getting squished by traffic or falling off a bridge

I have a website that loads a random background image related to cities via the Unsplash API:

Today, this striking image appeared: the Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange (I-105 × I-110), a five-level interchange (the most complex in Los Angeles). Photo by David Ortega.

Steel produced prior to World War II is highly sought after, and usually sells for a premium. The reason why may surprise you. It's not due to any perceived higher quality than steel produced later -- not in the ordinary sense, anyway.

The issue is that steel smelted after WWII pretty much all contains tiny amounts of radioactive contamination from above ground nuclear tests, which were common until the signing of the nuclear test ban treaty in 1963.

While the amount of radiation in that steel is extremely low, it's high enough to interfere with some very high precision instrumentation. So manufacturers of some affected equipment want that "old steel" to use instead.

Since the global atmospheric contamination levels associated with those tests has been dropping over the decades, it's a decreasing problem for newly produced steel.

Still, a large find of old steel, like a sunken pre-WWII battleship for example, is still much valued due to these issues.

So now you know.

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

Curious to see how people interpret this pattern. Is the switch on or off?

(I would have done a poll, but apparently you can't have an image and a poll in the same post.)

I've been feeding the pigeons around my home for several years now. Recently, crows also started showing up.

As is their custom, they are now bringing me shiny objects as gifts.

Here's what I got so far.

@MonaApp Hi! Minor bug found: In some situations I noticed Mona will display two loading indicators. Seem to happen when I have poor or no internet connection.

Every few weeks the same thing with Signal for Mac. Same for WhatsApp. Only iMessage gets this right and treats non-phone devices as first-class clients that can actually log in on their own.

I can't find a store anywhere near our home (next door to San Francisco) that sells the Sunday SF Chronicle. Or a paper vending machine on a street.

(Same for NY Times...)

The death of print is happening in large part because news organizations have basically stopped trying.

I've been considering moving off Gandi to a different domain registrar. Not anything specific but they stopped offering some services recently and it made me consider alternatives.

Two days ago Gandi sent out a shady looking alert email asking for all customers to change credit card info.

Yesterday to today they have an alert on a status page that credit cards cannot be added due to an outage.

None of this is on their billing information page OR main account dashboard when you login.

SO BAD.
