Same, I noticed it a few days ago and thought was a glitch. Saw it again and google returned this link when searched for arstechnica.com 403. My VPN says am from S. Korea now. Wonder how long this will last.

This could be the openning Elon is looking for to make his everything in one app.

i don't buy new games from the regular studios when they are new. I got skyrim only after special edition with all the DLCs, etc was released. I also play alot of X4 from egosoft and dwarf fortress (also a very indie studio). Most of the games I play, I can play with maxed graphics, some even at...

It's possible that once one type of life is established, it is difficult for a newer form of life to start from scratch and take over or even to coexist together. Am not too sure about life only evolving once here. Even if life evolved 10 times here, 3 billion years ago, I don't know what are...

Many governments around the world are giving subsidies, etc for the EV transition. If the US gov is stopping / removing them, I think the local manufacturers will have less reason to work on EV. Guess that means car brands not based in the US will be working on EV stuff more and that will make...

So, spray/mist abit of diluted lime juice in a stadium during a game. Call it as flavour / fragrance / cooling the air / something. And you got alot of people getting this condition? Sounds like something that has to be watched for.

I have not really been posting here since the article some time ago which mentioned that Ars material is being scrapped for AI training. But I will be willing to post alot if there are such endeavours being done here.

This is what governments do when an overseas company working in it's country misbehaves. It's similar to holding the executives of a company responsible when a company misbehaves (probably an unusual concept in the US). If there is no legal requirement to have a local rep, there is no way to...

Are there a list of IPs / URLs we can block so that the TV ad servers can't send anything over? I know at least one of the LG TVs in my home is connected to the net. And I have noticed ads in it since about a year ago I think. Prior to that, don't recall ads in the home screen. I rarely watch...

You are not the only one. I got a client whose fastest system has a 4770? or 49xx series Intel CPU, and some 3xxx series Intel CPUs. And thats not uncommon - know many other places still using computers with similar CPUs.

Can I create a whatever video and call it a documentary? Does a documentary have a set of rules to designate it as a documentary? If so, I can use the likeness anytime I want.

The statement "result of designs not often seen in Android malware." from the sub header seems to implies they are often seen in malware for another OS. Is there a specific OS which is often targetted with such designs? I was under the impression most malware, no matter designed for whatever...

Wasn't that the story that Boeing used to get the Max aircraft certified? Claimed everything was similar to the older aircraft, don't need extra simulator training, and we know what happened next ...... ;)

If they are required to modify the thrusters, seals, maybe the doghouse and even the software, do they have to do another test flight? Or can it still be certified automatically even after all the modifications?

Can't you do the ground test on a suitable vacuum chamber? I understand we can't overcome the gravity part, but a vacuum chamber should at least somewhat show a similar environment when it comes to how the thermals work in space, right? You might have to create some hot / cold zones in the...

I think the better question would be, why would he invest in ANY US based company again after the way he was treated?

So, next question - do you have to keep a copy of all that data so you can replay it all to figure out if something went wrong? And if yes, what sort of storage systems are they talking about? Exabyte size? Or larger? (considering that a petabyte sized storage device will be full in 10 secs at...

30 launches on the books, so don't have to worry about the future? How about the fact that most of those 30 launches are from EU orgs that have a mandate to use "local provider" Arianespace as much as possible and Amazon launches are cos Bezos does not want to pay Musk for launches? How many...

This got me some vibes on an updated version of Fight Club. Don't have to bomb the financial orgs, just encrypt all their content and throw away the key!

If I knew the answer, I will not ask the question. I know there are all sorts of wood based work being done, for example to the point of building skyscrapers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plyscraper I also heard of fabrics being made stiff and into different forms. And of course there is...
