They definitely combine several sensors to get a proper height reading, but as we've seen with the American and Japanese landers, getting good readings from the sensors, properly accounting for all factors that might affect sensor read

Or alternatively, for polar bases, very tall panels, which would be able to be in permanent sunlight.

On the Moon you could also use the Moon itself as a heat sink. But yeah, any near-term solutions would use giant radiators.

Weapons guidance systems get to be simpler in many ways. If you've seen some of the Lunar or Martian landing videos, you'll notice that it's very hard to tell the scale. Especially on the Moon, the lack of atmosphere to distu

If by police entrapment, you mean cases where, say, someone tries to put out a hit and doesn't realize that the person they're hiring is a cop, I think that's totally fair. That's still indicative of serious intent to co

But voters care about a multitude of issues. People care much more about things like abortion, immigration, healthcare, gun rights (or control), and yet none of those are seeing any movement or chance of causing meaningful threat to their v

FAA is probably thinking that since they're the ideal scapegoat in such a situation, but I don't think any member of Congress gives a shit about how many Boeing kills, as long as Boeing continues to pay them off.

Anaerobic microorganisms do exist, but the article is talking about animals.

This kind of thing is implied in most science communication, every statement of fact has a "unless or until conflicting information is found" tied to it by common sense.

It's implied that what's being discussed by requirements is for life "as we know it".

As much as I'd love to see nuclear powered cargo ships, they do still have to give consideration to the possibility of getting damaged. Even putting aside exceptional situations like with the Houthis, we tend to get one or two highly p

I wouldn't consider the working of an electron gun to be an introductory physics context.
553.
by dotnet00 2y ago
I think you'll find that most people who would understand 2 and 3 would also understand the meaning of "the electron is negative" perfectly well, as humans (and at this point, probably LLMs too lol) can infer that the intent

I think they don't mean it in the literal "you physically can't tell the direction of charge at all" sense. As you say, the very fact that we know the real direction counters that. They mean that within the abstract cont

I've found that this only works in very specific circumstances. If you have any flexibility to your work schedule (which is a lot more common nowadays with any amount of remote work) this becomes massively inconvenient, as every small

And the fact that Apple didn't seem to care to cooperate much in terms of things like Metal etc. Mac would've been a much bigger ask compared to Linux, where they can usually just contribute to and work with any component that may

There's nothing restricting you to AMD GPUs though? Proton works great on my 3090. It's even been less troublesome than when I used to use AMD GPUs, where IIRC accelerated graphics drivers and the ROCm drivers had some sort of con

Might be different for other universities, but in my department, as well as all the PhD's I've known in other well known universities, there is no such hierarchy, they all worked directly with their professors. Mine doesn't e

I think the joke is that they finished their undergrad at age 24.

I think it's more nuanced than that, while there are bound to be people who are only pushing for it for profit, regular people who talk about getting rid of it are doing it because they're sick of the "moderation" excuse

Americans don't care about immigration from Canada because they're culturally almost indistinguishable and have little reason to illegally stay anyway, as Canadian living standards are not that different from those of Americans. S

They could, but it might be considered risky or maybe outright not possible with the current design, since the EVA hoses would be different from the ones normally used within the capsule. It isn't that the problems can't be solved
563.
by dotnet00 2y ago
It's worth adding that the proposal was mainly for reboosting the telescope, which can still be done later if needed. Trying to EVA and work on Hubble would be very risky right now with Dragon since you have to vent the entire capsule

This describes my experience nicely too, although I didn't quite realize it until reading this. I was thinking I just thought in words and had a tendency to mix up the bits of various languages I know some words from, but occasionally

I think delays, within reason, are not an issue. Delays are very common in spaceflight. As long as they're delivering a high quality product for a decent price, some delays are acceptable. So far, I think ULA has been within reason on

Regarding the anti-trust risk, SpaceX has been very clear that they'll launch competitor's satellites just as fairly as they do any other payload. They only serve to benefit from it, as the profit from every commercial launch help

While monopoly originally referred to a single company having an overwhelming share of the market, its colloquial use refers to any company that has enough market share to abuse its position to harm customers. This is just because it's
