17:15:21 <Barto> watching this atm
17:15:46 <nulldata> Starliner is coming back empty
17:15:57 <Barto> yeah, coming home with crew-9
17:16:00 <Barto> in feb
17:16:11 <Barto> the safe choice
18:50:43 <that_lurker> Could have brought the crew back a lot earlier
18:54:14 <Barto> not rushing things is a wisdom, if you gut-react Boeing will sue your ass, here they cannot
18:57:52 <Barto> they did test, test were not good. They did let Boeing try to fix their thing, they could not.
19:06:56 <that_lurker> would taking the crew back safely on spacex cause a reason to sue? The current crew in there could have continued the testing
19:07:22 <that_lurker> Sunita Williams has already been in space for almost two years now
19:28:36 <nicolas17> microsoft documentation must be one of the worst link-breakers in the world
19:28:53 <nicolas17> the OCI spec says "On Windows, path MUST be a volume GUID path: https://aka.ms/nb3hqb"
19:41:03 <Barto> that_lurker: my opinion: if Boeing proved that with time they could have shown that their craft was safe and could have been an option if NASA had waited, yes. Not sure where you got your two years though. Frankly, it's likely that it's her last flight, so prolly she will not complain and enjoy her time :-)
19:46:50 <that_lurker> the two years came from the total time she has been in space, though the real number is a little less (got the wrong number initially). She has been having eye issues already caused by long exposure to migro cravity. But then again NASA knows whats best for them and would have done something sooner if necessary
20:09:44 <Barto> oh didn't know about the eye issue, but if nasa rules it's critical, they'd make an emergency return to earth

23:39:31 <nukke> this is bizarre. if I am reading this correctly, he got arrested cause telegram was used for illegal purposes by other people?
23:39:54 <nukke> I am as much of a Telegram hater as the next guy, but this is dumb af
23:41:06 <nicolas17> nukke: a friend said "someone should sell me illegal drugs over Twitter so that Elon Musk gets arrested"
23:41:25 <nukke> 🤞
23:41:28 <nukke> Make it so
23:42:17 <nukke> $10 says NSO found the Russia-only backdoor to Telegram
