Just 10 months ago, NASA asked three companies if they could do something nobody had done before.
Could they build and launch a satellite to save a $500 million astronomy mission at risk of crashing back to Earth?
What’s more, could they do it in less than a year on a tight budget?
Katalyst Space Technologies, a startup founded in 2020, presented the most compelling solution.
“They came back with a response that was technically and programmatically plausible,

A bold satellite rescue mission came together in record time, but will it work?
I consider this a success already, just from the fact that we're even going to try this."

IndustrialRobot has generously donated in order to inquire: In the last few years there seems to have been a lot of activity with adding emojis to Unicode. Has there been an equal effort to add ‘real’ languages/glyph systems/etc? And as always, if you don’t have anything to say on that topic, feel free to choose your own. :p Yes. I mean, each release of Unicode lists major new a

Spännande artikel om högerns historieskrivning av ekonomisk utveckling i Sverige - jag är, gällande ekonomisk teori, endast en taskspelare. Men jag tycker att många argument pekar mot en osund och selektiv historieskrivning. #svpol #ekonomi

But absurdity is no impediment to religious belief—credo quia absurdum. Working mostly off-campus, I noticed no real change in my own university until the BLM-riot-inspired anti-racism crisis of 2020, when I found that academe, originally a place for the free exchange of ideas, had become almost unrecognizable. Higher education has begun a transformation along the same lines as the 1966 “Cultural Revolution” in Maoist China.

The Multiversity and its Discontents: The Evolution of a Fatal Flaw — Minding The Campus
A well-known podcaster has the custom of going “off the grid” for a month each summer, to gain some perspective. I can beat that: I have been retired from academic teaching and research for nearly 14 years and have rarely visited my campus during that time. But last year, I finally encountered the university first-hand, […]

The Trump administration is waging war on voting rights using justice department lawsuits,
FBI investigations,
and an executive order to limit voting by mail,
-- moves mirroring the US president’s false claims he lost the 2020 election due to voting fraud, say election experts and ex-officials.
🔥Since Donald Trump began his second term, numerous 2020 election denialists have been installed in key agencies such as the DoJ, the FBI and elsewhere to pursue widely discred…

Every major party presidential nominee since Nixon had voluntarily released their tax returns
— Trump was the exception, not the rule,
and the “harm” he suffered was exposure to the same transparency his predecessors embraced without incident.
The original piece laid out why the whole thing was a scam:
Trump is the plaintiff,
the IRS and Treasury are the defendants,
and the DOJ defending those defendants is stocked with Trump’s former personal attorneys
