I’m just saying that just because they’re in space their disability doesn’t suddenly disappear. They still need some additional support, because astronauts still use their legs, just not for walking.

Walking may not be an issue, but astronauts usually hook into things using their feet to stabilise themselves, can’t do that if you have no control over your legs.

I think I can see better on my bicycle than in a car, nothing blocking my view and you also sit relatively high compared to cars.

Yeah, the usual startup approach. Burn investor money to get into the market (or in this case create a market) by offering services below cost. Once they have enough users and their investors want their money back they’ll ramp up prices.

He quit because everyone said he’s a dick for trying to use the same cabinet as his predecessor, even some people in his cabinet said so. He now has the chance to do it right (he won’t/can’t/Macron won’t let him).

Bosch doesn’t build cars though, they make parts, specifically a lot of parts for combustion engines such as engine control units. I’m sure you’ll find their parts in a lot more than just german cars. So this is about cars with combustion engines, not about german cars.

Sounds like it focuses more on shiny RGB than performance.

The contest was fine, the voting patterns and final result were not.

All these Wifi for tracking people methods use the channel state information (CSI) that is used to help decode the transmitted data. CSI is obtained from pilot signals that are transmitted as part of a regular transmission. This is done in basically all digital communication standards, so you could do this not just with Wifi but also with 4G or 5G or older mobile communication standards. This is all not very surprising, there is a lot of research in contactless radio based heart rate monitoring, they usually build on radar systems not communication systems though. The buzzword for 6G for all this is joint communication and sensing.

They have plenty of documentaries about all sorts of things from different european countries, it’s not just all about France and Germany.

For GPS jamming there is research into alternative ground based location services, I’m currently doing research in that area. Interestingly one major problem there is not GPS jamming in hostile areas, it’s truckers using GPS spoofers for their tracking devices, because apparently that happens and it happens far away from any wars. Loss of communication was what I researched before, i.e. how reliable communication links are. For most of the other things you list a regular pilot can’t do much more than someone remotely operating the aircraft from the ground, the pilot is not going outside to fix an engine mid-flight, or hit the landing gear with a hammer until it works again. For autolanding, the whole idea of remote piloting is to not rely on autoland.

I did research on communication systems for exactly this. You need a few more than just one pilot, but the general idea is that only take off and landing are hard so you have pilots on the ground remote piloting the aircraft in these situations. In theory you don’t need pilots at all, but current autoland systems reduce throughput at airports.

Direct flights between airports that don’t serve as hubs for any airline are generally focused on business travel. If you fly via some airlines hub airport you can get cheaper tickets as the flights are more focused on stuffing as many people into a plane as possible.

I think you missed OPs point. They shouldn’t use data centres of US american companies even if they’re located in the EU because they already can’t guarantee that data isn’t leaving the EU. CLOUD Act is more relevant here than the USA PATRIOT Act.

GitHub is finally dead.

If they move towards the centre they won’t stand for anything anymore and become irrelevant.

Already dead? That implies it was active and people stopped using it, but if they justed created it it will take time to become active, just like Lemmy.

Not even for the next larger city?

Honestly, I’m not sure if that really applies to Germany. A lot of downtown areas are kind of dying because they don’t know what to do with the space that is left empty when stores close, but it’s usually not the kind of store you would consider a third place. I suppose those stores drew people into the downtown areas and then people also went to a café or something, but the cafés are still there and people still go there. I haven’t heard much about closures of theatres, museums, libraries and so on. What kind of third spaces are you missing?

Check if there’s a Disorcd server for your city, you might have to check if there’s a subreddit which also has a Discord server. I met so many people that way, hasn’t really lead to any friendships though.
