Interview : Ankit Kumar (Skye Air) — la livraison par drone et la gig economy

Imaginez : vous passez une commande sur une application de commerce en ligne ou de quick commerce.Mais, au lieu qu'un livreur emprunte la route pour vous atteindre, un drone transporte maintenant le colis jusqu'à votre résidence, le dépose dans un pod ou un casier dédié, et un coursier à pied effec…

🇨🇳 Chinese products are often cheaper and come with more perks than Western ones.

“#China cares about the commercial aspect, but that’s not the main driver. They know how important the Global South is for a long-term #geopolitical play. These are developing economies, and in the future, may be important markets.” https://payloadspace.com/whos-working-with-china-on-space/

Who’s Working With China on Space?

“Africans don't choose sides, at least for now…so these countries are typically not locked into one provider,” said Mustapha Iderawumi, a senior analyst at Space in Africa—a Lagos, Nigeria-based market research firm.

How to write about space and not sound like someone on a private space company's payroll:

By Ned Potter:

«[T]his is why all those NASA veterans are sounding the alarm. For one thing, neither Starship nor Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers have so far proved themselves ready to carry astronauts. And, say Griffin and Porter, they are going to have a very difficult time even getting close. The showstopper, they say, is in the choice of propellants.»

Musk told xAI employees the company needs a lunar factory to manufacture AI satellites and an electromagnetic catapult to launch them into orbit. The announcement came as six of xAI's twelve co-founders have now departed the company. SpaceX reportedly shifted from its Mars-focused strategy to target the moon, with the merged entity pursuing a potential $1.5 trillion IPO.

I tried to debug some of the many #NASA RSS feeds I'd been monitoring for years, but which for some reason had stopped working a long time ago, and I hadn't found the time to look into before.

Was I surprised to find that all those RSS feeds had vanished along with the web pages for each mission, around 2024-04-17, during the last year of the #Biden administration? (yeah, not #Musk's DoGE)

Nope. That was the expected result of #spaceEconomy for the billionaires

La polizia trumpiana d’assalto anti immigrazione, l’Ice, ora si avvale di una piattaforma sviluppata da Palantir che mappa casa per casa le zone urbane incrociando dati sanitari, di viaggi e dei cellulari degli abitanti. Si chiama Elite ed è l’ultimo esperimento di sorveglianza autoritaria di massa.

apparently, a web content strategist for #NASA's Office of the Chief Science Data Officer decided that the paper was too naked without any AI #hype in it and smeared it with some to keep the AI overlords happy.
