They were also using asbestos and knew it was causing respiratory issues.
They had cloths made of asbestos that they were cleaning by throwing them in a fire. However they knew that slaves in asbestos mine were getting sick because of it

I think a fork happening in a few years would be great, right now the app still need a bit of polishing but they are quickly improving it.
Yes, having a purely non-profit foundation from the start would have been better.
But, for me, it is still a better option than Signal or Matrix for messaging.
Signal is great but they need 10s of millions every year of donations. It means that they rely on the generosity of wealthy individuals to keep going. I'm worried it is not sustainable.
Matrix is better on this aspect since everything is open source, but the UC is not great on my opinion and I don't fell comfortable switching to it for regular contract with family and friends. To be fair it's been a while I haven't used it so I downloaded Element but I am blocked on the account creation (the verification email is not arriving).
To compare I tried creating a new account with SimpleX and in less than a minute I was ready to chat. They rely on investors for now and don't have a clear business model which is worrying but they are developping fast this way and being fully open source anyone could fork it at any time. The UX is great despite being heavily focused on privacy and security and have features that no other app have, you don't need an email or phone to chat and if they ever start to enshitify someone can fork it.
Do pragmatically I think it is the best alternative right now and I am curious to see how they evolve.
SimpleX as a very user friendly interface, uses decentralized server, does not requires your phone number or email and the server is really easy to set up (but not needed, for the regular user it just looks like any other messaging app)
Edit: I forgot to say that their app AND servers are open source.
I see no difference
I think SpaceX stated a while ago that they have two suits that could fit Wilmore and William that could do up with the next dragon.
I stop for a while, look at my caving partner and continue digging to expand the narrow opening to explore the other side of the cave.
My name is Ted by the way.
Of course I would, I did it 6 months ago.
They will go through the Van Allen Belt to study the radiation there and the first commercial EVA ever !
This is a huge milestone for SpaceX and commercial space exploration.
You need to soak the chickpeas for a few hours before cooking them, ideally with baking soda do they cook faster.
For once the article title is quite accurate, when they say "giant kite" they means something like that:
