They were testing FSD so I understand why they would do it. It also looked like roadkill and didn't expect it to be a hard obstacle.

If he used real numbers the tariffs would be so low that it wouldn't make any sense.

Apparently it is 34% on top of current 20%, bringing it to a total of 54%. But who knows with these guys.

Fully agreed. Tariffs are one thing that Trump has always been clear about. He likes them, he sees them as beneficial and now that he has no brakes in this administration he is finally going to try and put them in place. There is no 4D ches

It's a big stick to point toward Iran. Flying from Diego Garcia means they can takeoff without anyone reporting them inbound.

Strange no one commented but apparently Bradley Cooper (of all people) is working on making it. https://movieweb.com/bradley-cooper-hyperion-movie-epic/ No definite timeline on it.

The way I thought about it, you have to roll around the larger one and you have to roll around yourself (+1). So if they are two same size circles, it's 1 for the other and 1 for yourself. If the other one has 3 times bigger radius, it

This would mean that a lot of malaria related deaths are unaccounted for or that the vaccine is helping in another way.

The point is that they are getting updates, not because NASA paid 865 million in 1970s but because it is doing scientific work that no other spacecraft is able to do currently. If Voyager was orbiting around Earth it would get no updates at

I think it's better to say - if your phone was 12 billion miles from Earth and used to send sensitive scientific data - it would get updates as well.

Yes but there is a much larger effect on gas oven suicides than overall. Suicide prone population dying out would not cause one type of suicide to reduce in a much quicker rate - as is implied here.

WarMonitors is an incredibly bad source that continously posts misinformation and propaganda. I follow Ukraine war closely and that is one of very few twitter accounts that I blocked - due to constant misinformation that they posted. This b

Twitter changed their algorithm and the way they promote content. Now if you get verified (pay Musk) - your replies get promoted and get more views and reactions. With effective removal of "old" verification system you have no way

Depends on the photo. I had a photo that shows military unit marching between two of the great pyramids. Much easier to figure out a location if you have such obvious landmarks.

I found his books (which IMO are not that famous) because our local library had them. Otherwise I don't think I would have stumbled upon it. Same applies to Walter Jon Williams and his Hardwired which was one of my early favorites. I w

Thank you for the recommendation. Growing up I was a big fan of John Brosnan's trilogy Sky Lords - post apocalyptic / genetic wars sci-fi with zepellins - what is there not to like :). Seeing this is by Brosnan as well means it&#x

It misses the point. Ceramic "high-temp" ones are not used because they still operate at very low temperatures so you are not completely free of cooling requirements, they are just slightly lower. In that case it may make sense to

Most materials are not superconductors at 110K. If this one is, it is possible Koreans did not fake room temperature results but rather their sample is slightly different for some reason, maybe pure luck, maybe some part of process that the

Until today main hypothesis was that it is a scam by original team or a mistake when measuring resistance. Now it looks unlikely as it would be very strange to luck into a new superconductor (pretty "good" one too) if they were fa

I think most people are just seeing the headline 110K instead of realizing the implications (not a scam, not a mistake, hard to replicate). I was quite sceptical earlier today due to unconvincing videos but this finding pushes it heavily in

by saberdancer 3y ago
Huge news. This means it is not a scam as a discovery of this type of superconductor would be big enough. It also means it is unlikely they were measuring wrong for multiple years. My layman take is that Korean sample is just a better or di

They are making more samples (bigger ones to test resistance). My guess is that they already broke it to pieces and this one levitates slightly. Until they get more samples they will keep this one intact.

Zero resistance while conducting electricity. Levitating is nice but the important part is zero resistance. It would be ironic if we got floating rocks but no superconductivity.

Yes, it is obviously not very accurate (sample is not in a rage :)) but I'm sure many are excited about the possibilities and don't know Chinese (Mandarin?).
