#Meta has been up to no good for a while - always?
Is $1.4 trillion a reasonable amount for these cases? Who knows.
Is it reasonable compensation for all the evil they’ve done? I’d argue yes.
It’s essentially their entire market capitalization as a penalty.

This is why #TheVerge sucks now BTW. They’ve emphasized appeasing #BlueAnon and screwing over the people who made their videos and forgot that the whole point of why people liked them in the first place was that they were cool people with good insights in the tech and social media space.
But they drove away fantastic contributors like #backlon and #BeccaFarsace, who killed it at both journalism as well as review videos, and didn’t replace them with anyone with equivalent talent.
Now the #YouTube channel is pretty much just podcast clips, and the website (which, to be fair, hasn’t declined as poorly) feels less like a place for journalism and news than if you ran a competing site like #Engadget through the filter of #KaraSwisher’s glasses.

W cieniu Księżyca dzieją się dramaty. NASA przyspiesza start Crew-12, bo na ISS zrobiło się pusto i niebezpiecznie
Podczas gdy świat ekscytuje się opóźnieniami misji Artemis II, na „starej, dobrej” stacji ISS sytuacja jest napięta. NASA przyspieszyła start misji Crew-12 na 11 lutego. Powód? Na pokładzie została garstka ludzi po tym, jak poprzednia załoga musiała wracać na Ziemię w trybie awaryjnym.
Pustki na orbicie
To nie jest standardowa rotacja. Przypomnijmy: 15 stycznia misja Crew-11 zakończyła się miesiąc przed czasem. NASA podjęła decyzję o ściągnięciu czwórki astronautów na Ziemię z powodu tajemniczego problemu medycznego jednego z członków załogi.
NASA zarządza pierwszą w historii ewakuację medyczną z ISS. Załoga Crew-11 wraca wcześniej
Agencja przyznała wprost: na ISS nie było sprzętu, by postawić diagnozę. Od tego momentu gigantycznym laboratorium orbitalnym, wielkości boiska piłkarskiego, opiekuje się zaledwie trzy osoby: Chris Williams z NASA i dwóch rosyjskich kosmonautów. To tzw. „szkieletowa obsada”. Każda awaria w takim składzie to ogromne ryzyko, a pracy jest za dużo na trzy pary rąk.
Falcon 9 wraca do gry
Start Crew-12, planowany pierwotnie na 15 lutego, został przesunięty na 11 lutego (6:01 rano czasu wschodniego). Nie obyło się bez nerwów. SpaceX musiało uziemić rakiety Falcon 9 po problemach z górnym stopniem w innej misji. Dopiero 6 lutego FAA dała zielone światło. To pokazuje, jak bardzo NASA jest dziś uzależniona od jednej firmy – gdy SpaceX ma katar, amerykański program kosmiczny dostaje zapalenia płuc.
Kto leci na ratunek?
W kapsule Dragon „Freedom” zasiądzie doborowe towarzystwo:
- Jessica Meir (NASA) – weteranka, znana z pierwszego w historii spaceru kosmicznego wyłącznie kobiecego składu.
- Jack Hathaway (NASA).
- Sophie Adenot (ESA) – reprezentująca Europę.
- Andrey Fedyaev (Roscosmos) – co przypomina, że mimo wojny na Ziemi, w kosmosie współpraca USA-Rosja wciąż (ledwo, ale jednak) trwa.
Jeśli wszystko pójdzie zgodnie z planem, dokowanie nastąpi 12 lutego, a ISS wróci do pełnej sprawności operacyjnej. To ważny test przed tym, co czeka nas w przyszłości – w końcu na Marsa nie da się wezwać karetki.
