The default alternatives are LA, New York, London, Paris, Kyiv, Beijing, and Tokyo.

Cheers for that, your comment reminded me to check. They're regional defaults - I'm getting Adelaide and Sydney thrown in as I'm in Australia .. and a few Asian cities also, along with London etc. It's close but not quite my Timeanddate customs - I specifically use Toronto for the TSX time. I guess they're not looking for competitors cookies after all :).

It’s also not possible for them to read the cookies of other domains without those domains setting cookie access control that explicitly allows it.

Anyone else feel as if the title and first few paragraphs give more credit to SpaceX rather than the Euclid team? SpaceX launches things all the time; I feel Euclid is the impressive bit here.

The Euclid team didn’t launch it. The article is about the launch. It mentions the crowds applauding on the ground at the launch, etc.

If you don’t want to hear about spacex don’t read the articles mentioning the launches and wait for the ones about the satellite coming online.

> Isn't that most large capital intensive efforts? No. For example in university i was part of a satellite design competition. We couldn’t let Chinese nationals on the team or we’d be breaking the law. There was a list of approved countries a team member could have citizenship from, if not we’d be guilty of violating export controls.

I wonder, could an American join a satellite design competition team in a Chinese school?

If an American did the US State Department might want a word or two with them.

Satellites are considered munitions… working on a foreign power’s weapons programs is… discouraged.

That's something I 'knew' in theory .. but as I'm back end numerical geophysics coder that avoids web UI as much as possible I frequently lag on the latest sneaky end runs in practice.

Nice to know that this is still the case - but always worth checking.

Yeah, the security of the web depends on it so it’s unlikely to ever change.

Your session tokens that give you access to a website after you’ve logged in are stored in those cookies. If another site could read them, they could use them to access your email, etc.

Lol. Not even. What about Musk. He is not born in US

Elon supposedly got full U.S. citizenship after he made connections with the CIA (Michael D. Griffin) although the details aren't really known.

He became a citizen by naturalization in 2002 (the same year he launched SpaceX), not some shadowy conspiracy.

Those aren't mutually exclusive.
