There is enough demand for small $100M+ worth of production, which might still be too small to come anywhere near fixed costs with setting up a lunar mining situation.
That's at least two orders of magnitude too small to warrant lunar mining.
Even a high sustainable moon base wouldn't have manufacturing facilities for things like computer chips. Even if they can eat and breathe indefinitely, they will not be able to be truly independent of Earth.
the ability to view and participate in them would be something not controlled by a single group of greedy profit-oriented people who don't care to hear the clamours of said participants.
Are you talking about the International Olympic Committee or NBC? Because the IOC are the ones demanding a billion dollars from NBC.
This is about an agreement to restrict who can broadcast the material and how they're using that restriction to deny that material to people.
So the first question should be "why aren't more media companies able to broadcast an event such as the Olympics".
Because the International Olympic Committee will only allow one network per country, and they want a billion dollars for the privilege. To be fair, doubling or tripling the number of media people involved would be a logistical nightmare.
NBC paid the IOC over a billion dollars for the rights to show these games. They're spending millions and millions of dollars to produce and broadcast events on the other side of the world.
You're demanding to watch them on the device of your choosing for free.
Now you're on a commercial flight, and your plane just collided with a beer-delivering drone. In the few moments you had before your fiery death, would you be thinking "I'm just glad we had all that freedom."?
and even big sites could be "Slashdotted." When's the last time you saw THAT?
Here's a hint, it was before Taco sold to Dice.
To be fair, the state of site hosting has changed a lot in the past few years. Even the reddit front page, which drives a ton more traffic than this site ever did, very rarely brings down a site anymore.
Yet the highest profile socialist leader in recent South American history, Hugo Chavez, served for 14 years without incident. Is the CIA completely incompetent?
The NSA has no motive to do so. Despite lofty proclamations about changing the world, every bitcoin in existence has a combined value less than $10B. In the big picture of the global economy, that's negligible.
I came back to this site after a 10 year absence and I didn't notice any major revisions while I was gone.
I get the people always complain about site changes and then quickly get over it when they figure out how to use new features. But the beta layout is truly horrible. Like on a basic, aesthetic level, it's terrible.
Yes. But they are idiots and/or the data loss was intentional.
I've worked at small companies where the IT manager took home backup tapes in case the office burned down. It's almost inconceivable that a major bank would have less sophisticated policies than a 20 person company.

The US paid for 75% of the space station.
Shout out to GURPS.

And Helium-3 is rare, but worthless until we make massive advances in fusion research.
There is absolutely no reason to go to the moon in the near future.
Bigjocker does not pretend to be a competent writer or editor. Thomst does.
The fact is that a bunch of Mac users who thought their systems were secure, rightly or wrongly, lost a bunch of money.
There are no viruses. Learn the difference between a virus and a trojan horse.
Your semantics aren't going to get those bitcoins back.

And NBC is "being greedy, pure and simple"?
Conventional missiles have been supersonic for oh, 60 years or so now.
Yeah. That's why we're talking about the new hypersonic missiles.
It would be like saying "My Nissan GT-R is faster than a Ferrari 360, so I'm sure I can win a Formula 1 race."
FAA...FCC...whatever.
Imagine if the FCC didn't do this.
Now you're on a commercial flight, and your plane just collided with a beer-delivering drone. In the few moments you had before your fiery death, would you be thinking "I'm just glad we had all that freedom."?
Where are you seeing that? I'm seeing a drop from $820 to $790 over the course of a week. I used 12M bitcoins at $800.
Beta is taking away my OG userid? This aggression will not stand, man.

Obviously short service interruptions can happen. Have any Amazon or Planet customers ever lost data?
Those issues should be fixable without a major redesign.
In the beta, is there any way to see if your posts have been replied to and quickly get to those replies? You know, like reddit had 7 years ago.
What does the CIA gain from this?

Oh crap. The facility that I thought was Nevada Solar One is actually this Ivanpah plant. Cool. Thanks for the info.
A good third party cloud service will be able to have one building burn to the ground with no interruption in service.
