I am not American so my lense may be a different one. What I am coming from is basically an extension of the German Laws that Govern the Mail Secret (Briefgeheimnis) which actually is constitutionally enshrined in the German constitution.

But has notable exceptions that can be made uppon federal law. The burden for these is supposed to be pretty high.

I think this should not happen willy nilly. And if thats the case in the US I am obviously against it.

It is a complex multi layered subject because it has to weigh the rights of multiple people against each other.

Privacy and anonymity are not the same.

I am fundamentally against spyware that constantly monitors you and reports anything. Because of the constant and pre crime nature of it.

On the other hand i am actually not fundamentally against turning over data when independent judges sign a warrant.

This is arguably a very tight rope to walk but i think thats the most realistic comporomise between my right to privacy and the right of others to get justice when something is done onto them.

> If you play a single round of Russian roulette with a revolver, it is likely you will not die, but it is also not safe to do that. The same idea applies here.

Fundamentally space travel is not save, it cannot be (atleast at our Technological level) Space is unimaginably hostile to life. We cannot reduce this danger to zero.

Ada is a greatly designed language and I mean this. The problem Ada has is highly proprietary compilers.

They predicted the angle and where you could view it from. Finding the fragments much more difficult because it scattered into tiny pieces all over. The students searched for like 2 weeks to find a some pieces the size of a thumb.

Oh thats genuinely realy cool.

I remember back when I lived in Berlin and studied planetary Science there. One of the Professors calculated and predicted where one of those Meteors is gonna go down. So people went there and watched and photographed it. Afterwards there was a little bit of an all hands on deck where a lot of students with different Professors went out and searched for the remains of the meteorite.

I mean theoretically if there are many competitiors the costs of the product should generally drop because competition.

Sadly enough I have not seen this happening in a long time.
