Even if they don’t achieve all five successful launches this year, it is wise for them to start this waiver process now, so it will be on the books for 2025.

Given that the turnaround time for NTSB investigations plus engineering improvements has been about three months for each launch, they would only be able to achieve four flights per year if each was a failure. But if they succeed, it is unlikely to need the same three months to obtain another launch license… hopefully just a matter of weeks.

With true rapid reuse, they’re most likely going to be seeking permanent flight certifications for reuse, presuming no flight hardware will need to be replaced between flights. With this type of cadence, the only limit on launching will be how quickly they can refill the tank farms (and, of course, sufficient consideration for environmental impacts and beach closures).

Authentication is, explicitly, the process of validating that you are who you say you are. Like biometrics, your username is part of your digital identity. So you are correct in arguing that biometrics alone is little stronger than a username, but by definition, both are part of authentication.

That said, to securely authenticate your identity, you need to use multiple factors.

Could you? Yes. But there really is no point— biometrics alone are only a single factor for authentication.

You should have at least two of the three— something you are (fingerprint, facial, or retinal recognition), something you have (badge, token, secure device), and something you know (passphrase).

Dunno… works for me on mobile, in both Safari and Duck Duck Go. Nothing particularly unique about the URL, either.

Key quotes:

[Even] before it was known which aircraft would replace our outdated Soviet fleet, we already started working on changing the concept and training. That is, we already understood during these exercises that our approaches, our procedures are very different. And it was the partner pilots, not only American pilots, but also from other countries, who formed a kind of online training courses so that we would know in which direction to move, and then to improve and speed up the retraining for the F-16 aircraft.

[…]

And of course, everyone wants to get the planes as quickly as possible, but that's not usually how things are done. Aviation is a very complex system, it is not one tank or one artillery installation. There's a lot of staff on the plane and it's a big system. And a pilot or a technician is a small cog in a big system.

If they are also sending a validation email, it would fail, so no issue.

As a casual gamer, I can’t say this game even remotely reached the zeitgeist in 2024.

Hope they actually have interiors this time.

Because they don’t get the benefit of claiming it’s philanthropy if it is enforced.

This is absolutely standard, due process. Say what you will, he is entitled to an appeal.

DLC itself almost never goes on sale; you’ll be waiting for an eventual game of the year edition like 3-5 years out. CyberPunk 2.0 has all the base game improvements of Phantom Liberty, and easily 100 hours of content without the DLC.

Interesting, but this article was published 3 years ago.
