Looks like it's on purpose.

You don't need physical newspapers, but if you want good journalism you should definitely pay for your news.

I believe they took this into account when they designed the thing.

Airbus is ramping up. They have had issues with the supply chain, but they should massively increase their production this year. They are opening assembly lines everywhere.

For trains and subways, you can build the stations slightly above the rest of the tracks so that a train will naturally break when reaching the station, and accelerate when leaving. Efficiently storing energy in potential gravitational form. I'm not sure how frequently this is done, but at least in my city the subway does this at most stations.

Good thing it happened in Japan. Here people would have burned with the plane arguing over who gets to get out first.

It also checks periodically that you're in control of the wheel, or else will disengage.

Disengaging autopilot when it detects you are not in control of the wheel sounds a bit dangerous.

Depending on where you live, you might find them in a university library.

Say the word "giraffe". Don't pronounce the ra. Wow. That simple.

I use gitea, it works fine.

Except they launched them 4 at a time on Ariane 5 (which has similar capacity as falcon, so doubtful they would launch much more at a time with space, also it was available at the time of the start of the project...), and two at a time on the cheaper Soyouz. Also, it's way better to pay even 200 million (more likely less than 150 millions) to domestic companies to boost your own economy than to pay 70 million to your number one competitor...

The launch costs of Galileo satellites were much cheaper than 400 millions per satellite. The budget you mention covers the global development, deployment and continuous operation of the project.
