At .99c, the Lorentz factor is only about 7, so 1 year of ship time for 7 years of earth time.

Q = ∫i dt , so you just need something that regularly samples the current (typically measured via a shunt resistor) and accumulates it over time. This is typically done by a dedicated low power chip with an integrated differential amplifier

In Canada, Thompson Rivers University offers a bachelor's in computer science as a fully distance option. On the French language side, Université TÉLUQ (part of the Université du Québec network) also offers a BS in CS.

Fundamentally there isn't any change in the underlying physics. You're limited by the half life of the isotope, so you either choose a longer-lived isotope (which actually may be even harder post Cold War as much of the ideal isot

To be fair, it's a bit more subtle than that. There's a level of survivor bias involved - all the unreliable appliances from the 50s-70s have long since been hauled off to scrap metal recycling, so what's left are the long-li

If that's all they were doing - showing when the patient wanted to speak - that would be fine. Presenting speech as attributable to that patient, though? That feels irresponsible without solid evidence, or at least informing the famili

What they need to provide is surveys from the patients without the device (even locked in patients can often communicate slowly via eye-scan interfaces). How well do the patients rate the system at aligning with what they want to say? If th

Agreed - I don't want to come across as negative, but this is certainly in the "extraordinary claims" category for me right now. If this works, it's obviously huge , but I really want to see third party validation befor

Tailscale sets up point-to-point WireGuard VPNs and only proxies through their relay servers when they can't establish a direct connection. In my experience that's pretty rare, Tailscale tries a whole bunch of NAT traversal tricks

I have an old Pi 3 installed at my mother-in-law's house running Tailscale (which uses WireGuard as its actual VPN layer). It is connected to my Tailnet along with my Jellyfin server, and I have nginx set up as a reverse proxy to expos

Template license agreements have been presumably written or reviewed by a contract lawyer somewhere along the line. I certainly wouldn't judge a founding team that chooses to use vetted legal templates - that's a reasonable choice

Geostationary satellites are required to maintain their longitude (it's a license requirement to get their assigned orbital slot), but not their inclination. Sometimes operators will let the inclination drift a bit to save fuel. Obviou

Oh, I am sure they'll try. The sales pitch is way too enticing for them to ignore. Imagine you're in a brick and mortar wireless store shopping for a new cell plan. A Meta user walks by, and you get caught in a frame. A facial rec

On one hand - if the demos are representative, this looks like a very cool product right out of science fiction. On the other hand, Meta is one of the very last companies that I would trust to operate a fleet of network connected always-on

The perpetrator of the fatal 2017 Wichita swatting pled guilty to manslaughter, so it does seem that the (American) legal system treats it as a homicide.

Sure, happens all the time. Synthetic aperture radar satellites operate in different bands than air traffic control radar, so there is no risk. Your house is scanned at least once every few days from wide swath radar satellites like Sentine

Rad hard parts are basically never sold through distributors. Strict lot traceability is a requirement on space programs (to avoid the issue discussed in the article). The quality departments at the manufacturer and buyer also need to commu

Ultimately, NASA bought a part with a specified TID tolerance. Any manufacturer of space qualified parts keeps detailed records of lot acceptance testing as well as who purchased from that lot. The reps interfacing with NASA didn't nec

Rad hard parts are always sold direct from manufacturer in my experience - adding a distributor just muddies traceability, which is critical in space programs. There's usually a lot of communication between the quality departments of t

The article mentions that the defense sector discovered the issue. Rad hard defense electronics have more stringent TID (total ionizing dose) requirement than space, due to a need to survive in nuclear war scenarios. Space usually caps out

The flux follows the inverse square law, however, which means to detect if a rhino is tagged you'd have to get really close. Admittedly I don't know anything about the mechanics of rhino poaching, but considering how aggressive rh
