Buchanan tweeted he cracked something. It's been hinted that pirates have cracked widevine for Netflix already. Why is there half a dozen articles on it? Anyone can tweet claims, show some proof. POC || gtfo

Fair point, guess when you have specs and failure rates to meet the effort/cost goes up dramatically. Fair chance this rover can last a while though. Good luck to them.

Not entirely sure about all the ISS tests but most space biology experiments seem to be zero-g. We know a lot about how life survives at 1g and 0g but very little about in between, so hopefully it goes ok, quite a unique experiment.

Copying earlier comment: Wikipedia seems to say the rover mission duration is 3 months, yet the previous rover traveled for a year and transmitted a bit longer. The Chinese seemed quite coy about it failing last time (as with many things) s

I believe the eventual plan is a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon, it would have huge scientific merit. One of the mission goals here is to test for radio "silence" in the region.

Governments don't have an urgent pressing need to purchase the shiniest new weapons though, the comparison isn't valid. They do urgently need oil to stay in power, plenty have been thrown out over far less. If hypothetically the

Since when do people count exports as emissions? No one is forcing countries to buy that oil and refusing to sell it is inconsequential. Also their grid is 100% renewable and per capita they are around half of US emissions and on par with m

Would you make the claim that Syrian insurgents have the best weapons on Earth? Honestly it's all nonsense assumed at the exact audience that laps it up. Anyone dumb enough to conclude a satellite phone is a piece based weapon isn&#x27

In Australia we simply track every single students mobile phone location by law and store it for years, a far more efficient way towards Orwellian dystopia.

Probably not the US if that's what you're implying, considering that isis affliated insurgents launch very similar drones regularly in the area and apparently this time they were guided by a random American Poseidon. This was all

I live in a country which retains phone location data for 2 years and can be warantlessly accessed by hundreds of government agencies down to tiny local councils and has zero oversight. Would love to "mitigate" the risks of that

At 1g constant acceleration/decceleration you could make it to the Moon (380,000 km) in 3 hours.

That's a shockingly terrible argument. A person can object to parts of a service while still wanting to purchase the service. If only the world was so simple.
291.
by A2017U1 8y ago
Yeah I'd be wary releasing that commercially, drones are easy enough already to crash, giving users an automated feature with the potential for monetary loss is asking for drama and bad press.

Taken from another commenter: > according to the indictment, it was a few spearphishing emails with .docs attached, followed by keylogger and other malware installation. Junior Sysadmins straight out of a bootcamp can negate that.

It's one of the few things they've done right, carbon tax, pushing vehicle electrification, cancelling new coal generation. But yes do agree the system is hardly perfect, for instance theres been a spike in illegal cfc-11 coming o

Surprised this has no comments. Amazing stuff, hope they can make it production worthy. The gold usage in most nano applications is negligible, the copper film might add up though.
