You can buy "skylights" that are essentially internally mirrored tubes that accomplish essentially the same thing. I don't believe they're super cheap right now, but I imagine they could be if they became more widely…
I couldn't help but hear this in my head in the voice of Montgomery Burns.
Could you say more?
How many places in a densely populated city can you precisely drop a bomb with no risk to civilians? Yes, technology has improved, but my point is that better tech doesn't just automatically make war less awful. I don't…
That would be great, but why would one think that?
Their government programs have hit some snags recently too. The KC-46 and Starliner programs have not exactly been smooth money-makers for them.
I think you may be slightly misinterpreting the parent comment. When they say the NIF's task is weapons research, I think they meant that the facility was built with that task in mind. When I read your comment it sounds…
Is there a reason you feel they are less prepared than any other organization?
So, perhaps a good time to start a new business selling inexpensive RISC-V based micro computers?
Perhaps I'm out of the loop, but why do you need a smartphone for gym access?
I agree that making a clear demand seems more effective if possible, but I don't think disorganization necessarily implies that displeasure is only momentary and involves no risk. Many people can be upset about…
Can you please elaborate?
Tangentially related question: I've always wondered why afterburners on more modern Soviet/Russian engines seem to glow blue, while European or American jets seem to have a more orangey glow. Anyone here know why?
To sail the ship around? I'd think the smelting operation would cover those costs.
Certainly I would agree that letting go a lot of experience folks would have an effect on the product. However, I think this comment could use some more justification: > But unlike previous generations though (heh),…
I'd second the idea that this was not the major thing holding back adoption of the metaverse. Frankly, even if they announced a program to give free Oculus headsets to anyone who wanted one, I still wouldn't want to…
Or perhaps the opposite. If the plane is saying it's lighter than expected, they may think too little fuel has been loaded.
Echoing your sentiments, it's worth noting that we've already launched nuclear power generators on a number of NASA missions. Not the usual type of fission reactor, but radioactive material nonetheless. So the risk…
>our reactor produces iron, silicon, and aluminum through molten regolith electrolysis, in which an electrical current separates those elements from the oxygen to which they are bound. Oxygen for propulsion and life…
How exactly is he working toward free speech being a driving force? From what I can tell, he's just banning different people.
Can you say more about these metrics, for those of us who don't know?
I think one aspect of getting into "vintage" technology in one way or another (vinyl, mechanical watches, fountain pens, etc.) is becoming familiar with the reasons that people developed newer approaches. In my…
Oil/gasoline mixture. No requirement that there needs to be lead in the gas, as far as I've ever heard.
This was my guess as well, but if it's correct, I don't understand why the Hubble images show 4 spikes. I thought Hubble's main mirror was circular, not a square.
Typically you don't eat the rind on this kind of cheese.
