Me too !

I loved all space related stuff as a kid so my dream was to become an astrophysicist.

I know it as bissap in west Africa

Some reactors can even cool down the river ! This is the case for the Civeau reactor for example, the water released is cooler than the water pump from the river.

I think organizations working around sensitive installations could be interested.

For example the car used to drive around nuclear powerplants, military installations or just industrial equipment. Modern cars have GPS and cameras and you don’t want to have random cameras recording around sensitive installations.

They could remove the cameras but then the car would not be road legal anymore.

A Linux based head unit would allow them to customize it to the level of security they require while still retaining the benefit of modern cars.

It’s a niche but a niche that have the means to infest a lot in development

For the IPO I think only 7% of the value of the company was for their space related activities (what they are actually doing). 93% of the value was for the non existent AI activities.

SpaceX is now a public company valued for its AI potential, so what comes next?

It’s not going to end well for the belters

• les gaz réfrigérants d’une des gaz a effet de serre

C’est vrai, le gaz le plus utilisé actuellement, le R410 a un potentiel de réchauffement de 2088 fois celui du CO2. Cependant son interdiction devrait bientôt entrer en vigueur pour être remplacé par des gaz plus écologiques.

• sa conso électrique Là par comme l’argument ne tiens plus vraiment en France. On a un réseau électrique dimensionné avec des centrales nucléaires pour que la majorité du pays puisse se chauffer a l’électrique en hiver. De plus en été pendant les canicules le photovoltaïque produit énormément.

Du coup en faisant les choses intelligemment, càd en incitant les gens à fait tourner les clims la journée pendant le pic de production solaire et pas la nuit la consommation électrique deviens presque un non-sujet

It’s not even a surprise, this is from SpaceX s-1 document: only 7% of their estimated valuation is from Space related activities

Thank you for the warning.

So let me share my experience to balance it out: in my village there is a tiny building by the road that used to be a gas station in the 50s/60s.

Today the main road has been diverted so only local traffic is passing by and the station has been closed for decades.

10 years ago a group of people decided to transform the building, they got money from the town for paint and changing the window and now it’s like a little free library but for books, toys and clothes. The whole village is using it.

A lot of it is kid clothing, it’s always open without anyone to supervise it and people are respectful, it stays clean and people don’t storm the place to resell what they can.

They’re monolingual and anything written in English isn’t valid since it’s not the official language of any European country.

Checkmate!

Il y a sans doute ce facteur qui influe fortement :

La consommation des ménages en biens diminue fortement en mars 2025

L’Union européenne a pour mission de soutenir et de compléter les actions menées par les États membres pour préserver et promouvoir le patrimoine culturel de l’Europe.

Better ?

Talking about battery replacement for EV is like talking about engine replacement for ICE.

“Sure, ICE car are nice but the high cost of engine replacement after a few 100k km is a concern”

Batteries in today’s EV can last way longer than people expect, changing the battery is really not something that will be fine regularly, not more than changing the engine in current ice car.

Il est milliardaire, comparé au patrimoine du ménage français moyen 200 000€ représente l’équivalent de 20€.

Imaginez aller immigrer dans un autre pays pour éviter de payer 20€ d’impôts !

My dog complains when we have a new bag of dog biscuit but still give her stale biscuit from the open bag.

Recording camera in public sources are subject to the EU law. You can’t install then without authorization and their use is reglemented.

I don’t know if it’s there case in all the EU but for example in France people need to be informed by a sign of a camera is recording the area, they can’t record the entrance of private houses …

We have that already: NASA’s Space Launch System.

It’s … debatable whether it gives better results than commercial contracts.

If you are interested in creating a commercial product based on the Materials, please get in touch with Valve.

It’s the second line of the license file. So the license does not automatically grant commercial right but they are addressing straight away that they are open to the idea.

I don’t know in practice how easy it would be to get the right from Valve to commercialize a product derivated from these files.

Steam released the CAD files of the Steam controller, on gitlab, under a creative Commons license !

I was on the edge about wanting to buy a steam controller but now definitely want one. I’ll keep an eye open for when they are back in stock.

English isn’t my first language so it’s hard to find the word to describe it.

It’s definitely a unique drink, very herbal. The green is not on the herbal side, the yellow a bit more on the spices like vanilla, liquorice.

The best way to drink it is to slowly sip it in a wide glass. Like a perfume, the flavor profile change with time. So the first sip will not taste the same as the second sip.

I sometime “forgot” a glass for an hour and two and when I came back it was a completely different drink, sill as delicious as the beginning.
