Longer - fifteen, closer to twenty years. It took this long for there to be one or two companies that they could be sure wouldn’t just cut and run (especially given how cutthroat the aerospace industry is).
Living 20 minutes into the future. Eccentric weirdo. Virtual Adept. Time traveler. Thelemite. Technomage. Hacker on main. APT 3319. Not human. 30% software and implants. H+ - 0.4 on the Berram-7 scale. Furry adjacent. Pan/poly. Burnout.
I try to post as sincerely as possible.

Conventionally Point Nemo is the target.
SpaceX’s track record for orbital insertion definitely had something to do with that. When last I knew, N-G didn’t have its own launch facilities (that might’ve changed in the last few years but I doubt it).
Probably jet lagged, too. A lot of pre-prods are worked on during the flight home from a conference and after one gets home when they can’t sleep.
Generally speaking, if the oligarchs don’t think you’ll be useful to them, you don’t make it far enough up in the food chain to be considered a candidate. They don’t play the game of “Maybe this person will do what I tell them once they’re in office,” they play of the game of “Only people I know will do what I say will get onto the ballot.”
The political machine does terrible things to people who are at least somewhat fundamentally good.
We’re cleaning up our living room as crash space again for folks leaving red states.
Change up the kinds of malware they write.
“Those who would repeat the past must control the teaching of history.”
There are spambots that still post on Usenet newsgroups even after organics abandoned them twenty years ago.
Don’t forget folks aging bot accounts by downvoting everything they see to generate history.
It would be far easier for the manufacturer to set up fuses that a killer poke could blow than to jump through all of the (legal) hoops to get hold of an explosive of some kind. And get Legal ready for it, because nothing like this ever affects only the intended group you don’t like. To put it another way, one USian gets hurt because it went off at the wrong time and they’re in a world of shit.
Give her my best!
If they could get away with it.
Is Lisa still running site security?
It’s probably something easier to set up, like a couple of fuses in the package that, when a signal is applied to a particular set of pins, will blow and disable the chip.
Historically, playing by Chicago Rules when reacting has done pretty well. It’s certainly worked pretty well for me.
They have had a plan for it, from the very beginning. Big-budget space projects like ISS don’t get anywhere without a wrap-up plan. ISS is in LEO, and its mass contraindicates moving it into a graveyard orbit. Conventionally, stuff in LEO gets de-orbited; same thing happened with Skylab in '79.
