You are once again intentionally misunderstanding. As in claiming that "people riding in the vehicle perishing" is the same as "people riding in the vehicle which has a failed launch and kills people outside the vehicle by crashing on top of them".
Pretty much this. Most likely someone with a clue finally realised that as long as you have a working firewall and anti-virus that will block outside executables, your XP machine is quite safe from "omg internet viruses". Especially if like most computers in major organisation, it's also sitting behind a NAT.
That's one of the reasons that many of these contractual obligations are now litigated on EU level. A single European sovereign country is often too weak to counteract pressure from international corporation on the scale of microsoft/google/apple. See the support debacles with apple all over Europe where apple is straight up breaking the law and national courts lack the ability to impose large enough penalties for them to matter.
Sovereign power has been severely weakened on this front during last couple of decades. In part through natural evolution of economic means of rule over military and nationalistic ones, and in part through systemic infiltration and corruption of power structures of said sovereign states by interests of said economic forces.
The guy who I answered to, if you click on his commentary, is basically here to take a big dump on Russian space tech. He's going all the nine miles of spin doctoring, from conflating casualties among people being launched to people getting hit by debris on the ground to listing accidents and suggesting that this is comparable to accidents with lethal outcome. All while ignoring that in this apples for oranges comparison, he doesn't offer similar list for the other side.
Which from a point of view of someone who followed the space race and technology for a long time, this is what we've been seeing for a while now. It's the standard "the other side sucks, let's not work together but give money to private sector who can make the innovations instead and then keep them for themselves" speech.
It's quite possibly the second biggest objective to our progress in space exploration after the general apathy towards it among population.
One potential guess is that one of the engines of the third stage burned for too long. Third stage has quite weak engines, and it has a lot of them as it's third stage's job to put the object on correct trajectory.
If you have those engines that have significant angle of attack vectors on the actual heading for purpose of setting the direction burns for too long, it's quite possible that object will enter a spin in addition to getting punched to a higher orbit.
You're really bending over backwards and splitting hairs there, to the point of misrepresenting what the person you answered to is saying.
He specified "cosmonauts" as in people who ride in the vehicle.
Fact is that when it comes to getting people to space, Russians are clear number one in the world right now, with no real challenger in sight. That's why even extremely rich space tourists go to them instead of financing development of vehicle of their own like Elon Musk is trying to do right now.
The biggest problem was that this opens a huge can of worms. It introduces a perverse incentive to companies to hunt down and take offline any free mods because they would be competing with "their" paid mods (their since between steam and publisher they get 75% of all revenue).
Steam does no meaningful policing of any kind. One of the major problems with steam today is complete and utter lack of policing. That's one of the main complaints of indies especially, since they want to be visible on steam at least on the day when they release, and instead they get pushed off the "new releases" page's top in a matter of hours because some trash publisher fills the list with their "steam re-releases".
That depends. A good example of this expertise coupled with loyalty to "current position" rather than "past connections" has been former EU commissioner Neelie Kroes. Better known as the woman who put the record fine on Microsoft.
She was a former lobbyist for big companies, and there were significant fears that she would kowtow to big industries as a result. The opposite came to be - she became big industries' worst nightmare. Someone who knows how the system works because she is an insider, and someone who has the political power and will to take it apart when it threatened to monopolize some parts of the market and damage the free market within EU.
Which brings me to my point. These people tend to be selfish and career oriented. So while revolving door system does suggest ties to former interests, one also has to remember that most of these people are social climbers. Once they get a higher position if their interests demand it they will have few to no qualms of stepping on the faces of their former comrades.
Wheeler is currently a high level government bureaucrat, standing above his peers in private sector. So when these peers get on his turf, he has shown to have few qualms in stepping on them.
Best part is that this particular crowd understands self interest like this and is unlikely to hold it against people like Wheeler after they move on to their next post. This is because they trust self-interest and see themselves acting the same way if they were in his place.
This law is not new. It has significant amount of legal precedent already established. You will have to demonstrate why expanding the definition will suddenly bring up selective enforcement where there hasn't been any to push this argument.
Yes, you keep making that claim. That you are a "professional working in the field".
As I have pointed out in the past, that title in your case can only be true if you're either: 1. A cleaner or similar non-power related job at a power plant. 2. PR person for renewables who's main job is to spin the narrative. 3. An actual professional in the field who can't get a job because of his utter incompetence coupled with extreme, almost religious anti-reality opinions.
Don't be obtuse. Overwhelming majority of vaccines are well out of patent protection date and as such exceptionally cheap. As a result, instead of "big pharma", they're typically produced by copy drug makers around the world, both large and small.
I can imagine. That sort of stuff is usually posted by 12-year olds who can't articulate points well, but love people who do. This is why you get
Even when their points are in direct conflict with reality and physics, like yours. Considering your posting history, and you actually telling pretty much every single professional in the field that they are wrong when they point the factual errors which turn your conclusions 180, I've learned not to engage you any more.
A good example was your last batch of stupidity, where you suggested that everyone is moving towards gearless wind turbines after I and several others pointed out some significant problems with your claims in relation to durability of wind turbines. I asked you who is, you told me that GE is already done moving and is mostly gearboxless. I linked you GE's current product list of their wind turbines which was overwhelmingly turbines with gearboxes, and you told me that this was clearly a lie and you know better than GE itself what GE is making.
So I'm sure you get fan mail from equally opinionated people who have a severe problem with reality and are simply not as good at being convincing liars as you are. And of course, that ends when you fact check your statements, at which point you become a simple liar. A point of which I make a point to notify people of when you answer these threads now.
Anyone who isn't yet aware of your trolling habits in all discussions on renewables only needs to click on your name to see your extremely opinionated ignorant trolling to the point of you denying laws of physics to peddle your agenda.
You should really change your handle if you want to have any kind of impact nowadays. This one is pretty tarnished.
So in other words, you do in fact understand that AM receiver antenna can be only a few centimeters long.
If you do understand it, why did you claim otherwise in your initial post? Posting a wall of related physics to demonstrate that you're not a total idiot was required here I suppose, since you did manage to make an utterly ridiculous claim, but it doesn't nullify your original claim in any way.
This was your exact quote:
"> most FM receivers also have AM receiver function
Which require an antenna several meters long. "
And while you have demonstrated that you understand that you emitted a total brain fart there, you could at least admit to it if you're going to demonstrate understanding of underlying physics after you're called on it.
You obviously have no clue then. It's extremely costly to maintain a stable grid. Overwhelming majority of people in the world have it worse than you or I. And at certain point, service is so good that improving it further starts to carry significant diminishing returns. In most Western countries, that is the situation with the grid.

You appear to be talking about security holes in third party software. How is microsoft responsible for it?
You are once again intentionally misunderstanding. As in claiming that "people riding in the vehicle perishing" is the same as "people riding in the vehicle which has a failed launch and kills people outside the vehicle by crashing on top of them".
XP SP2 changed so much, it was effectively a new OS by the time it came out if you want to go down that road. Especially by Apple PC OS standards.
Pretty much this. Most likely someone with a clue finally realised that as long as you have a working firewall and anti-virus that will block outside executables, your XP machine is quite safe from "omg internet viruses".

Retroactive legislation like this would be likely contested up to the constitutional courts and then if necessary ICJ and declared illegal.
"Objective" was supposed to be "obstacle". It's late evening here. Apologies.

It got closer to God?

Not a hard guess considering they state in the OP that likely culprit is too much lift provided by third stage.
You may as well guess that they're going higher than planned.

Yes to the latter question. "Had" being past tense in the key problem.
You miss the main point. It's easier to monetize on their OS because their OS reports a whole lot more information to them than another OS.
