You should save the exaggerated euphemisms for your audiophile subreddits. "square waves pressed on to vinyl" just proves you have no clue of the physics to an HN audience.
Re thumb vs finger control. RSI researcher once told me "Which could you live without, a finger or your right thumb?"
You think you do. The issue is it's just about impossible to isolate translation from rotation. You would always be doing just a little rotating every time you touched the ball, whether you wanted to or not. And any…
Just because one corp does something x bad, it means some other corp is ok to do something 10x bad? There's a huge difference between a utility scale power plant (you know, with things like tall chimneys) and "truck…

>Photos cannot be rare BS. Only if you pedantically define 'photo' as collecting an image at xyz location at a particular instant. I'm quite certain that photos of the Eiffel Tower are NOT rare.
FYI, on this android tablet (android v12 / FF 144.0.2), the 'start typing a book title...' field doesn't do anything. On the Mac, it brings up a list of matches to select from.
A long time ago, worked on a comm satellite program. It used a whack of tuned cans to combine high powered transmit signals with harmonics in each others' frequency bands to feed into the antenna. I once asked how they…
Orbital and escape velocities??? The elevator is sitting over a stationary spot... it's moving at earth's rotational velocity. Only the portion above the GEO anchor is moving at orbital velocity.
To begin with, airplanes do fall out of they sky, sometimes right on your backup generator. (speaking from military experience where yes, there is an entire backup studio waiting to take over, just in case. Or rather,…
An aspect missing from the article and comments here is that magnesium is also available as a topical application. I have some in a spray that I can apply to my knees before bed, we also get some from a local source in…
Sure there is. It's called single payer. There's no way to fix this with the current layers of middlemen milking profits from what should be a public utility.
Checklists are great! Until TPTB decide everything should be a checklist, and then that everyone needs to be trained to the checklist and no more than that, and then start punishing any deviation from said checklists,…
You obviously didn't live through it, or you wouldn't be spouting such offensive, naive nonsense. How many working class families do you know that can afford to buy economically significant amounts of T-bills, as…
If you only want to see what you want to see, it's easy to find evidence. On the other hand, look at the commonly posted wages vs productivity graphs (productivity goes up pretty much unbroken, but wages flatline since…
Off the top of my head: Shannon, Nyquist, Hamming. Lapping them you say.
Economics, and the Powell Memo, followed by Milton Friedman and the Phillips curve and trickle down and Reaganomics, to start with.
It was spin stabilized. A stuck relay would have just created equal thrust all the way around the spin - ie the thrust would cancel out to zero. This design required thrusters that fired for very short intervals at a…
Interesting enough read, but the post title is misleading. It was hardly a gift, it was an estate tax payment. Not everyone is a greedy narcissist only out for themselves!
Oh come on... there's lots of reasons. Understanding where the money goes. How much are you spending on dining out each month? How much does your car cost when you add it all up at the end of the year? It's easy to fool…
Um, except that the article is about a trademark. Mickey (the Paraguayan company) isn't printing comics or producing cartoons, so how would copyright apply? (as your linked article from duke.edu explicitly explains)
And also made missions at least 3X more expensive..... It wasn't just the on-paper launch costs. Everything had to be man-rated, meaning, among many other things, everything that operated during the launch had to be…
All these other comments should just go read the book, it's worth it and a good, if horrifying read. What 'no mechanism' above means is that for many decades the SIOP consisted of 'launch everything'. The only way it…
Of course the command and control uplink is encrypted. Always have been. All military satellite tt&c uplinks are encrypted. (Commercial as well, almost certainly, I just don't have personal knowledge.)
Design constraints aren't an issue for prototype runs, since you'll have the same constraints for the production mold. Actually, now that I'm writing this out.... the constraints issue is a plus, since it's a dry run of…
