Fuel supply is a bottleneck for Starship—here’s how SpaceX will get around it

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-20 21:24:52

First, there's the sprawling factory that SpaceX has constructed at its Starbase location along the Gulf Coast in South Texas. The building, known as Starfactory, is designed to produce one Starship per day. A couple of miles to the east, SpaceX has built one Starship launch pad and is preparing to activate a second one.

Google says Gmail security is “strong and effective” as it denies major breach

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-20 21:39:44

The sky is falling, and Gmail has supposedly been hacked to bits by malicious parties unknown. Or has it? Reports circulated last week claiming that Gmail was the subject of a major data breach, citing a series of warnings Google has distributed and increasing reports of phishing attacks. The hysteria was short-lived, though. In a brief post on its official blog, Google says that Gmail's security is "strong and effective," and reports to the contrary are mistaken.

“You need to realize you've already rejected tradition by not getting a dark roast coffee. You've embraced modernism,” Hedrick says. “And if you're going to embrace modernism and reject traditionalism, you must always also reject traditional shot parameters.” But terrific light roast is possible. There are two ways to go. You can go traditional—changing your dose and ratios a bit but aiming for a cup with intensity and balance. That's what I've been honing for the past year. But there's also
