I try to learn all the time, make stuff sometimes, and dream about our universe the rest of the time.

‘Whelmed’ really means ‘capsized’ - the over and under were added later for effect. But you can be consolate: consoled and comforted. And gruntled too.
I can be overwhelmed or underwhelmed, but I can’t be whelmed.
Or, at least, I think theoretically I could but the way I have set up my life seems to have made it very difficult.
I would love to spend more of my life whelmed. Someone whelm me.

Dual-use technologies like GPS & Starlink are subject to EAR & ITAR.
If SpaceX hadn't shut off Starlink, they would have (arguably) been in violation of US law by allowing weaponization of dual-use technology intended for civilian use.
Just like GPS units turn off above 600m/s AND/OR set altitude

No.
This "fact" is a fairly common misunderstanding of what the stat is measuring.
First, there is no "a photon" that is making a trip from the core to the outer layer. Photons are absorbed, emitted, reabsorbed, then re-emitted over & over again by the sun's plasma. 1/2

As someone who has audited projects, built stuff (mostly robots & some toy software) + spends her time reading sci/tech history, this is completely understandable.
When projects move fast, the obvious sometimes slips. Sometimes to disastrous results; like people burning alive in a flame in 16psi O2

On Wednesday, users reported an account that had a slur as its handle. This handle was in violation of our community guidelines, and it was our mistake that allowed it to be created. 40 minutes after it was reported, the account was taken down, and the code that allowed this to occur was patched.

Honestly, if there's going to be one thing out of the cloud app experiment that takes root, I hope this is it.
Giving users the power to craft their own algorithms and then share it with other users is incredibly powerful. We already do UGC. Why can't we do UGA/UGR?

It is fascinating how intricate some of these practises are. Before any anatomist discovered Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) in the spinal cord that continue messaging after death; Japanese fishers were killing CPGs to postpone rigor mortis.
