Sealioning - Wikipedia

Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealion...

Sealion strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki.

"Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter"

The native ground sample distance is actually 30 m, hopefully the later PR stuff includes the high-res details.

A small step for the mankind, a sizeable one for our team!

Tokyo image was taken at night and shows the land colder than the waterways (which threw me off for a minute).

Thermal imagery requires deeper understanding of the physics of the everyday life than good old visual band.

Satellite servicing companies face reality check Executives say the industry has to work harder at proving the commercial viability of in-orbit services

In-orbit servicing / deorbiting fails to gain traction.

People much late find out what the industry has long known: what is technologically impressive is not necessarily financially attractive (or even viable).

Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding, donations or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise some additional funds.

There's that and then there's the comments from Reviewer 2.

Eutelsat resolves OneWeb leap year software glitch after two-day outage Eutelsat said Jan. 2 it has restored services across its low Earth orbit OneWeb network following a two-day outage.

A failure to account for 2024 being a leap year caused a two-day outage for Eutelsat's low Earth orbit OneWeb network.

Exclusive: Power failed at SpaceX mission control before September spacewalk by NASA nominee The spacewalk was carried out by private astronauts including Jared Isaacman, a fellow billionaire and longtime Musk partner who is now nominated by President-elect Trump to be administrator of NASA.

'Sh*it happens', but somewhat concerning it took 3 months and a Reuters investigation for the public to even hear about this incident...

Tevekkeli değil ecnebiler İngiliz olmadığımı anlıyor da, nereli olduğumu anlamıyor.

Amerikalılar beni İngiliz zannediyor, ama sanırım onlar herkesi İngiliz zannediyor. :)

Şimdi de bana İngiliz Polonya kırması dedi. :p

🤔🤔🤔🤔

😭😭😭😭

Vallahi öyle oldu :)

Kardeşim bambaşka bir almanlık olayım var, elin Almanı ile tartışıp Umweltbetrieb'den kağıt aldım. HAKLIYMIŞIM, ŞİMDİ BANA ATAR YAPAN O DAYIYI ARIYORUM.

Kapatmayın zaten, ki aizin adınıza başkası hesap açamasın. Üstüne sabah 7'de havlu atılmış şezlong gibi sonsuza dek dokunulmaz olsun (mekanın sahibi gelir havluyu kaldırır, eşini dostunu oturtursa bilemem).

There are specific class of satellites or missions who would benefit from even larger rockets with better "per kg" cost, but the proponents of this argument are usually dismissive of the huge diversity of needs and pain points in the satellite business.

Besides, launch cost is not the only parameter as you note and, paradoxically, if launch costs dwindle, the picture will be even more dominated by satellite building and operating costs, even for EO where all the user gets is data (not terminals).

Ah the good old "total launch cost / total launch capacity" argument, because this is so not what companies charge people for small satellites. Transporter price/kg for your 10 or 100 kg satellite is not exactly secret.

Citizens are a captive customer base, where the government is not obliged to provide a good service, as the income is not exactly tied to the customer satisfaction.

The UK equivalent would be a privatised rail firm, where there is no competition on most lines. Hence the poor service.

To make a meaningful impact, they have to attack the large spending streams, where resistance will be heavy. And to make funny headlines, they have to attack the puny but funny-sounding projects.

So far it has been more of the latter than former.

The question is, what sort of damage will they cause to the projects/departments that do not have powerful people or lobbies backing them up?

Benim gördüğüm kadarıyla birçok devlet, birçok konuda vatandaşa nasihat ve yerel yönetimlere görev veriyor. Tabii kaynak olmadıktan sonra görev vermek, biraz göle maya çalmak gibi oluyor. Ya da sorumluluğu üzerinden atmak da diyebiliriz.

Haber bir biçimdir. Yazılı, sesli veya video olarak paketlenir. İçinde bir sürü parametre vardır. Birkaç cümleden haber olmaz. Onun adı enformasyondur. Enformasyonu yeterli bulan bireylerin hayatı anlama, planlama konusunda düşünsel pratikleri de kısıtlı ve dar olur. +
