Agents should work fine, there's also an RSS feed, but no api as of yet. If your agent has trouble let me know and I can make improvements.

EDIT: I added an api and other agent friendly improvements https://outerspacejobs.com/for-agents

I've spent the last few weeks scraping every job I can find in the space industry to create the most comprehensive possible job board for the space industry.

Currently hovering around 16,000 active job postings +-500 jobs most days.

The USA and Europe are well covered, India, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea are still in progress.

Scrapers run multiple times per day allowing me to track industry trends by country, state, and company (see the Industry Reports) tab.

It's interesting to see the relative hiring velocity of the largest players. e.g. Rocket Lab and Relativity Space are hiring much more aggressively than I expected.

motivation: the domain name was available

p.s. look at the stars.

> Biological: Unavoidable radiation hazard to astronauts on EVA; passengers and crew in high-flying aircraft at high latitudes may be exposed to radiation risk.

Anyone have a sense of magnitude for this advisory? How much more radiation should an airline passenger expect to receive during a G4 event than normal?

If you have Prime it's probably already justified by your normal usage. So shenanigans are effectively free.

Re:Starcloud on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @08:00AM (#45667757)
One of the selling points they mention is that they won't need to use any fresh water for cooling.

My understanding was that water-demands on Earth were an overblown issue and minuscule when compared to other uses of fresh water such as watering one acre of farmland.

Not to mention, "used" water is just "warm" water that can then be used again for other purposes.

So are they perpetuating a myth here? Or is water use a bigger issue than I thought?

Nothing stopping the satellite data center from communicating back to homebase via Starlink network right?

Would probably need to negotiate for a huge amount of dedicated priority bandwidth, but latency shouldn't actually be that bad.

Re:I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file on Monday August 11, 2025 @11:45AM (#44865528)
This is what I do with my "Daily Brain Dump". I use Apple Notes bc it syncs up nicely with my phone. Every day I add a new entry to the top of the note. Mix of TODO's and a journal. Actually have two files, one for my life in general and one for work.
Teens are old enough to find their way around any content bans. This seems like a good way to introduce teens to VPN's and skirting content regulations early. It's also dumb because YouTube can teach you almost anything, I'd say it's the "best of the worst" when it comes to social media on the internet.

When people say "you can just do things" this is what they mean. Fun article, I hope everyone reading this who wishes they had something like it in their neighborhood starts this weekend by inviting their nearest friend for coffee on the stoop.

Re:How I accepted myself into Canada's largest AI hackathon on Thursday March 20, 2025 @11:13AM (#43424513)
You definitely still can just show up and do cool hacks.

Also hackathons are really easy to host if you keep them under 50 people. All you really need at that size is a co-working space and some pizzas.

So if you don't like the vibe at your local hackathons, why not host your own one weekend?

I think the key is really the size of the thing. Giant hackathons with big sponsors and prizes are always going to be more "serious" feeling than your local self-organized hack-days.

Re:The Last Drops of Mexico City on Thursday March 20, 2025 @11:09AM (#43424469)
One thing I'd like more info on is in what ways Nestlé and other water companies have contributed to the problem.

I've long heard that they lobby to prevent the local Government in CDMX from providing potable water in order to protect their bottled water and water-delivery business, but I actually don't know how well substantiated those accusations are.

On the positive side of things, Mexico City gets a ton of rain during the wet season which can be harvested with rooftop collectors.

Re:Body Doubling on Saturday March 08, 2025 @12:05PM (#43301645)
I used to host weekly virtual co-working for founders who needed some accountability. We got a lot done during those sessions and ultimately met my co-founder through it. Later today we'll be body doubling virtually to get our taxes done together.
Any clues to how they plan to invest $500 billion dollars? What infrastructure are they planning that will cost that much?
Depends on the book. Depends on the TikTok.

You can have passive experiences via either medium. TikTok is really optimized for that shallow level of engagement though and books trend in the opposite direction.

If you don't get past the headline you might miss the most interesting part of this story. Bhutan is building a special economic-zone city, based on Singapore as a model, and designed by Bjarke Ingels. The renders are really striking, many of the major and most important buildings are designed to double as bridges over the river. Skip to 16:52 in the video to see the renders of the planned development "Gelephu Mindfulness City".

One thing I've always struggled with Math is keeping track of symbols I don't know the name of yet.

Googling for "Math squiggle that looks like a cursive P" is not a very elegant or convenient way of learning new symbol names.

I wish every proof or equation came with a little table that gave the English pronunciation and some context for each symbol used.

It would make it a lot easier to look up tutorials & ask questions.

Honestly could use a breather from the recent rate of progress. We are just barely figuring out how to interact with the models we have now. I'd bet there are at least 100 billion-dollar startups that will be built even if these labs stopped releasing new models tomorrow.
