Although curiously, most processes theoretically capable of exposing large amounts of lunar mantle would likely generate a decent fraction of that heat just on their own merit.
It does feel disingenuous, but its also nothing new. Military research has always been the one of the primary driving forces behind critical technology. Commercial tech is vulnerable to all sorts of disruptions,…
Cotton also shrinks when wet and has poor thermal properties - polymer blend fabrics perform better in the cold, and are lighter and cheaper than wool. Goretex is wonderful stuff, but its also made of…
I'm just spitballing here, but I'd wager that the human toll required to evolve effective resistance to regular and prolonged asbestos exposure is more than most of us would be willing to pay. We already evolved these…
Unless you are pouring bat milk on your Cheerios, I'd reckon you're not going to be affected by that particular fun fact. The same can't be said for the legally acceptable portion of rat feces that makes its way into…
Sure, but ensuring all mechanics everywhere have access to use PPE, and then enforcing its correct use is way less effective in practice than removing the hazardous material from the workplace entirely. Being exposed to…
Since the cycle of stellar observation repeats each solar year, the observation would itself be a method of time keeping. One would need only to track the azimuth of a series of regularly positioned star constellations…
More damning would be the perchlorates found in Martian soil, toxic to most Earth-plants, not to mention Earth-humans.
im not sure I want a lithe hunter stalking through my house, marking every surface and attacking everything that breathes. I much prefer my dopey dander machines that sleep on my chest, flop around on the ground chasing…
Found this: http://www.ipodlinux.org/stories/piezo I got an iPod for christmas. The ipodlinux project was one of the main reasons for my choice and so I started exploring the iPod as far as I was able to. I patched the…
Not an expert, but my read of the article was that he had code execution already, but needed to dump the bootloader so he could gain access to peripherals. You could no doubt pull the chip and read it out with a…
Hmm... You can run different CTF environments i to a VM, wouldnt take much to stream input back and forth to both machines. I just saw another item featured on HN for piped keyboard streams between multiple users on the…
We're all irrational actors, though. Various life events drive people towards drug use. It doesnt have to be a rational decision: a split second moment of desperation is all it takes. And heroin is just _that_ addictive.
To be perfectly clear, most addicts understand that their addiction is killing then, but caring about that pales in comparison to the addictive urge to continue using. It's not some cerebral choice- once addicted, you…
As a person who lives in an area known to have Lyme, and as an avid hiker, it is not hard to do tick checks periodically. Ticks don't embed immediately, and generally there is a window of several hours up to about half…
It is much more effective to do more with less. There will always be a need for air conditioning in some cases, but having 10 million single window units blasting walls of heat into a crowded city very quickly becomes…
I read parent as looking for sources that provide access to hi-res satellite imaging, without them needing to provide access to their wallet.
Certainly not, but one wouldn't need to catch every satellite launch for space weapon- one or two would be enough evidence to go public and warrant further scrutiny. There are a number of extremely savvy amateur…
Thats a long commute from the prehistoric Bristish Isles to the nearest Starbucks. I hope he bought in bulk.
It won't be permanent sequestration, though, or even necessarily long term. When these units are retired, their contained volume of CO2 will be reintroduced to the air, one way or another. In terms of scale, even…
You have highlighted the core basis of Foucault's Boomarang: it doesn't matter the target of oppresive technologies and practices. Sooner or later, their scope will be turned on you.
https://xkcd.com/2758/ Another whimsical XKCD reference.
Following the exposure of COINTELPRO, the FBI dialed back its presence information gathering apparatus publicly, though critics of beaueau practices maintain similar programs have persisted through the following…
So far, I've seen nothing in these comments promoting Chrome, or Google more generally. They (Google and Microsoft) are both the tech equivalent of boogeyman, but this article focuses on specific anticompetitive…
There's no fluid bodies on the moon to cushion an incoming asteroid or comet - even if there was an initial gentle capture by the moons gravity, the object would either orbit indefinitely, be cast off, or meet a violent…
