Apparently the craft is powered entirely by solar power, plus batteries, to work at night. A solar powered craft cannot maintain 130 knots.

I checked out Ian Tamblyn on Spotify. He has 319 monthly listeners. His top track has 11k plays. Is it because analog has more fidelity?

IMO, the bigger issue is the flip-flopping. It shows that not enough thought was put into the initial decision to close stores. How many other, non-visible decisions are being made on a whim?

I said "most movie screens", not a theatre with the best equipment. My point is that the difference between 2k/4k/8k is noticeable, but not significant. NTSC, at 480i, was a magnitude worse than film.

The biggest cost in any metro area is land. There are few empty lots left to build on, and those go for a premium. Not going to give any specific listing publicity, but "$350,000 USD for 0.047 acres empty lot" is common in the r

Here in the USA: Spotify: $10/month Netflix: $9/month I'm unsure how Spotify and the Artists are not making good money. Are the record companies syphoning off all the profits?

The list lists four different ways: dotted, decimal, hex and octal. The other 117 entries are just combinations of the four.

Counterpoint, maybe only films should be eligible for Oscars, as Oscars are for "film makers". Digital cameras would not qualify, right? Seriously, there was a huge gulf in quality when the best home TV was 19" NTSC 4/3

The government can issue a gag order on a specific subject. This prevents you from disclosing the existence of a subpoena. However, the opposite is not true. The government cannot compel speech. Sure, the government can take illegal acti

The radius of the earth + 30,000 ft is about 0.14% more than just the radius of the earth. Basically ignore it, unless you are programming guidance control systems.

Sure, there is a wage problem. My issue with the way the cost of one-bedroom apartment is calculated. It is based on the HUD fair market rents (FMRs) at the "40th percentile of rents that a family can be expected to pay". That

There's 100 million paying Spotify subscribers that don't meet your "requirements". Ease of convenience trumps free (stealing).

In circular motion, acceleration is always perpendicular to the velocity. While the velocity changes, the magnitude of the velocity (aka speed) stays constant.

I agree we should switch to Proportional Representation. Unfortunately this would weak our duopoly parties, allowing third parties to win seats. So they (D&R) will never change the laws. In a FPTP election, 10-20% of the votes are was

Hmm, I'd be worried about retribution. Spread glitter in someone's car, they might come back and torch your house. Assuming they can remember where they grabbed the package from.

Booby-trap is usually defined as "to cause bodily injury when triggered". Spreading glitter in someone's car isn't causing bodily injury. However, if the glitter caused someone to choke and die, or blinded an eye, then

That's just a specific type of gravity battery. The primary issue is the low power to weight ratio. Consider that pumped water is also a gravity battery. Think of how much water is behind one of those dams.
