Which usually leads to their being shut down.

It's nice to see an org choose a side, but then we lose that org and we're back to square one.

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.

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).

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).

Also, they have to follow Swiss law if they want to stay in business.

Hardware in cars, like hardware in computers drifts in configuration over manufacturing time. Some cars from a manufacturer might have some granularity of tracking that earlier units off the line didn't. Toyota does this with their Camry hybrids, for example.

Companies are trying to go back to the time when they got popped and told nobody.

Do people seriously not keep copies of their finished work anymore? They just post them and delete the local copy?

Folks have made it - I think ollama was name-checked specifically because it's on Github and in Homebrew and in some distros' package repositories (it's definitely in Arch's). I think some folks (at least) aren't talking about it because of the general hate-on folks have for LLMs these days.
