That was underwhelming. I’d much rather see NASA’s or SpaceX’s or Roskosmos’s take on this. AKA the entities that actually have the means to pull this off.

Where by “people” you probably mean the lobbyists from Google/Facebook/Netflix and other internet companies who would have to share a fraction of their fat profit margins to deliver their stuff to you. As the present predicament s

Key point that takes some time to sink in: there are only 2^32 32 bit floats in total. Meaning that you can easily enumerate them all.

The accident happened on April 26th, and was acknowledged 36 hours after when they began to evacuate Pripyat, a town in the immediate vicinity of Chernobyl. As I said, it took about a day for them to acknowledge it, and it was only acknowle

That may have been what they said to the Western media. It does not necessarily match what they said to their own government run TV channels and newspapers.

I still remember the reports on TV from there at the time. Initially there was a flat out denial that anything happened at all, but once the scale of the catastrophe became clear (within about a day), and it became clear that it can’t be sw

I know about those, but they are almost the opposite of what I want to have: instead of completely separating the two worlds, they forcibly merge them in the same browser instance (and Sync account).

If someone from Mozilla is reading this: I (and I suspect many other people who prefer to strictly segregate their “work” and “personal” data), would very much prefer if you implemented built-in profile switching a-la Chrome. This shouldn’t

Enemy of my enemy is my friend. With this Intel achieves several goals: 1. Stave off the stiff competition from Zen APUs. 2. Support a small competitor to keep the DOJ off their tail. 3. Bankroll an alternative to CUDA which they could pigg

The difference here is that you can buy everything shown in that video (except the explosive) on Amazon. The drone can even be bought pre-made, all you need to do is implement a more capable system for autonomous control, which is also doab

They already “give money to those who need it”, by buying all those expensive things. I want the opposite. I want them to spend every dollar they have on the most ridiculous bullshit and thus move the economy forward.

It’ll be “almost ready” for prime time once it undergoes extensive adversarial “testing” by Seattle bums. Until then it’s a PR exercise.

Trump does not control DOJ. And transgender service members were only allowed less than a year before they were disallowed. Moreover, the “ban” is only a suspension of continued implementation, those already in service can continue to serve

Well, if I were to speak as a homeowner and not an engineer, I don’t give a rats ass what’s going to change. At most, I’d agree to upgrade _one_ device in my house, not every single little IoT trinket embedded in the walls. And then not too

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. I made a conscious effort to not consume media sources which engage in blatant and one-sided activism. I just want the facts, and all the facts, not just the subset that fits a narrative. And I don

It does. It will heat up. To quote a physics textbook: “Power transfer between a voltage source and an external load is at its most efficient when the resistance of the load matches the internal resistance of the voltage source.” IOW in the

If anything, it’s going to be even more applicable. I don’t see much in the way of air intakes. No intakes——epic fail on the track.

It’s physics, there’s no way around it. You expend a ton of energy——battery heats up. Without massive radiators there’s nowhere for that heat to go.

Too bad it can’t maintain that performance for any extended period of time. Battery is known to overheat if you drive it too hard.
