YES! I mentioned this problem in a reply above, but it's annoying enough to repeat: my work PC's Windows folder has expanded to occupy all free space (55%) on the hard drive. Space freed up by moving user files to an external drive was filled up within a week or two. Move all those restore points and installer backups to the cloud!
Maybe it's a corporate Windows setting, but over time Windows (\Windows\Installer) on my work PC has expanded to occupy 55% drive. It can't get more because the drive is always 99% full, even after all User files have been moved to an external drive. If I free up a few GB, Windows has filled it within a week. This may be our IT contractor's fault (their answer: wipe and reload!), but it's still a Windows annoyance.
I can imaging Windows automatically uploading ALL user files to the cloud as it makes room for its own files.
Constellations from SpaceX (Starlink), OneWeb, O3b, Facebook (Athena), and Samsung are well into the planning phases and some have already launched prototypes to test their systems. SES/O3b, perhaps the smallest, is operational on a small scale.
These large-scale launches of medium-sized satellites (100-500 kg) don't fit into the old regulatory scheme of 1 or 2 payloads per launch vehicle per year. Post-mission disposal reliability of 90% still leaves the possibility of hundreds of dead satellites cluttering operational orbits. The world's space agencies (which drive policy but typically are not regulatory) are trying to get a grasp of the issues on the horizon.
As Jane Q. Public pointed out above, the loss to Association members is a fraction of the profit, which is a fraction of the sale price. If the MPAA proves I would have purchased the DVD, and if I have Amazon Prime membership, then does part of the settlement go to Amazon? What if I have Netflix, too? What if I get all my DVDs at RedBox and the public library? Now I'm falling into the silliness...
Yep, but the US political-scientific cycle is pretty short. I think you could reasonably replace "Chinese" with "NASA" and "Pei" with "NASA scientists" in the summary.
Seconded. I bought 2 Trackball Explorers in 2004, and both still work well in daily use. The combination of finger ball, thumb wheel, thumb buttons, and handrest are nearly unique. If/when one of those dies, I'll have to try something from ELECOM or check the state of the incomplete GameBall.
Samsung sells at least 4 non-smart TV's with USB inputs. I wanted to add external and portable (Roku, in this case) devices for my "smart" capabilities.
Objects about 10 cm and larger can be tracked in low orbit. That means the radar can follow an object long enough to derive orbital elements, allowing reliable predictions of where the object will be later. Objects about 2 mm and larger can be sampled by high-power radars. That means the radar helps build a statistical population based on whatever zips across a fixed beam.
I found a couple of figures (Fig. 1 and Fig. 24) showing the gap between tracking (Space Surveillance Network) and other sampling data sources. Also a recent presentation.

Just reduce drug traffic.

It's an anagram for "Embed soy pellet".
(That's a lot of useful letters.)
And Batman.

Thanks for the tip! I never tried that standard/enhanced link. Now I can see the loops on my phone!

Ol' Ogg still got what was coming to him.

In both regular and mirror-text on your front bumper?

I'd prefer a resurrected Trackball Explorer.
I also had fleeting hope that Experian would be driven out of business. Oh well...
The summary sounds like something Paula Poundstone would recite on "Wait wait... Don't tell me!"
Yup. When the company goes bust or stops supporting the product, you'll start hearing about upset users "pirating" youthful blood.
More fun than tinfoil, put it in cat ears!
Granted. It's still very useful for all those users who wouldn't notice the change when it appears once a year on their credit card statement.
Twist the knife, eh?
I read is as using AI to monetize media consumption, a market with Facebook and Google already a couple of laps ahead.
I think it's "el boatload".
The question reminded me of the OrangePC, which died off with changes in hardware and improved virtualization.
I'll be disappointed if there isn't a vape shop called "Vaperware".

That said, I agree with the rest of your post.
