I think you may be missed the point: this is about, say, a uk resident being able to access the uk Netflix whilst on holiday or business, say, in Germany. It is not about me living in Germany and being able to subscribe the uk Netflix. If it was then I would be able to access iPlayer!
Don't worry: the EU GPS system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik... will soon be live, so there will be no need to fund a duplicate US system. You can save yourselves some money;-)
- Despite what many cynics think the story telling comes first for most people: 3D is a gimmick which at best adds a small delta to the experience of some people. - It is not even real 3D: it is an illusion (you can not look behind a character by moving your head for example). - As a reference remember that even colour took a long time to become mainstream in both film and TV. Add the colour is not an illusion.
As a cyclist I would like a system for myself that could mark the minimum safe passing distance to my side. If it also included a high powered offensive laser for intruders then that would be a bonus!
> with the Americans and the Russians both making their commercial quality systems available for free, is a third system really worth 250 billion euros? Are you saying that the Americans would be happy to turn off their GPS and trust in using Russian or Euro GPS for military operations ? Also Galileo is supposed to provide better coverage at Northern lats.
> Particularly since we no longer hobble GPS system accuracy Put presumably it could be turned off at any time if the US wanted to block access ? And especially in a world-of-Trump and -Putin do you think we Europeans would be happy relying on US/Russian sats ?
Except, for example, Royal Prerogative: she can dissolve parliament, appoint prime minsters, override the courts (mercy), declare peace and war, sign treaties, she is Commander in Chief of the armed services, has to agree to sign laws... For now she does what she is told to do, but does not the fact remain that the power still lies with the sovereign ?
Seems a little unprofessional for the head of solar and planetary missions to be publicly spreading theories for which he has zero evidence, even if they are qualified ?
On another note, as a Software Engineer I know for certain that 99% of all failures are Hardware related;-)
Yes. FWIW, IIRC, GAIA started as an acronym for the instrument technology to be used, but that was later replaced but the name kept and de-capitalised.
The comments I read seemed to have missed the point that the link was to illegally posted, pre-publication photos. Not just any old link. Just sayin, puts a different angle on the story, although a little less clickbaity!
FWIW I am in a "tech job" and I went from 40 to 30 hours a week just before our 2nd child was born, so that was over 18 years ago. Loved it so much I stayed at that level, even as she got older. And I always thought that my employers get the *best* 30 hours of my week, not the hours spent hanging in the coffee room on Friday afternoon!
I can see a potential use in cycle racing shoes: cycling all day you do not want shoes too tight, but come to a sprint and you do want them tight. Current shoes have quick adjust, but then other riders can see you preparing. A couple of small buttons on the handlebars and you can tighten up without anyone knowing. 1/4 second could be the difference between winning and loosing. Also if you miss the jump you can tighten up faster, and join in.

I guess we all knew the honeymoon would end one day :-(
Bad taste

I see you are trying to write C++, would you like me to convert it to Python for you?

Note that the (near) flat line is only for fossil-fuel derived CO2: not all human produced CO2, and certainly not all Earth produced !!

Err... I thought the sovereign was sovereign in the UK (i.e. The Queen).
They are not actually all sitting in L2: they 'orbit' around the L2 point (eg halo or Lissajous).
And most recently ESA put Gaia in L2.

AFAIK the lander is Russian built: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
(Schiaparelli being the test/demonstrator version)
- list of all your WhatsApp contacts (usually imported from your phone contacts)
- "metadata", e.g. how often you text which contacts
Congratulations to all involved in this mission over the 20+ years: and: better to crash than fade away :-)

Sounds more like a stealth scout ship to me!

IIRC it is so they have a revenue stream independent of government, and hence of control / censorship. (I don't know how well it works in practice?)
I think your confusing labels with content (eg I can put a sticker "clean diesel" on a car, but that doesn't suddenly make it clean!)
