@atpfm the talk of airdrop reliability on the show (in general, no specific episode) reminds me of the plane-to-plane photos airdrop: https://youtube.com/shorts/e7MP3SQWZDc
It’s almost not surprising that it worked though (if real). Short of having their phones outside of the aircraft I’m not sure you can get a better unobstructed line of sight. Maybe even better than in a lab if the air density/moisture content/etc of being that far up helps because there is less air & everything it carries.

If you don't wish to share your info with the Economist (h/t to @srtcd424 ):
I used to date a developer, and when he was going through a really difficult time - feeling like he was bad at his job and he'd lost the knack for being creatively brilliant with code - I got him a framed photo from the Apollo 11 missions, with this extract of code printed over the top of it.
We all have occasional dips into believing we're gonna fail. But our 'HOPE HOPE HOPE' sometimes makes it to the moon.
Fun fact: the code which took Apollo 11 to the moon is available on github https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11/blob/master/Luminary099/LUNAR_LANDING_GUIDANCE_EQUATIONS.agc#L179
And if you look through it you'll see that - joyfully - it also includes original comments.
My absolute favourite thing about the Moon Code is that it includes comments like this: "TEMPORARY - I HOPE HOPE HOPE"
Tell me again how #GenAI will extract meaningful trends from and answer queries about your data set.
While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.
Windows’ current disk formatting UI is a 30-year-old placeholder from Windows NT
"It wasn't elegant, but it would do until the elegant UI arrived." It never did.
This feels like an @atpfm type joke about using windows: https://youtube.com/shorts/nRAWNobpmj0

I feel like Casey would consider it fine but Marco would hear the difference when editing. John might have empathy for the machine but wouldn’t get involved.
