Narh, it's 100C. Sauna can be pretty hard-core.

Isn't this the way it's supposed to be? People invested. And now the new investors have a say. It also means they're responsible for their decisions and if they screw up they lose their investments.

Does anyone know if there's any filters used, or what the exposure times were? The images look much darker than most photos from Mars. Ingenuity does use quite a lot of off-the-shelf components. Does that include the camera? If so, thi

Oh, yes. If we're looking at a future where such infrastructural projects are a thing, then we'll need more nitrogen than we can get from Venus. There's also ethical concerns unless we can completely rule out the possibility

If you want to feed animals, make sure you have plenty of insects around. They're the bottom of the food chain and if you have lots of insects around then the birds will come for them. The other night we had a bunch of seagulls hunting

I used a Samsung netbook for many years until it broke during an upgrade attempt. They were surprisingly capable.

I remember the insane improvement I got from upgrading my Amiga 1200 from 18 to 130 MB RAM. If I'd still had it, then I'd be more than happy to use that -- I tried something similar around '05 and a 50 Mhz 68030 was more than

A first-gen Pi should be perfect for this.

Finland had record-setting heat in June. This is global.

It's mainly a logistics problem; there's more than enough nitrogen in the Solar system. We just need to solve the simple problem of moving it from the atmosphere of Venus to where we want it to be. ;)

The oceans on Europa cover a smaller area than Earth's oceans, but they contain a larger volume of water as they're much deeper.

I suspect it'd be most practical in areas with limited heat and were other alternatives aren't as handy. There's also a few areas where combustion engines are more practical than electric ones and hydrogen engines could be us

Yeah, farming subsidies alone could keep the EU afloat for years - we simply can't get by without them.

It makes me miss my old Windows Phone. I prefer Linux on the desktop, but the old Nokia Windows Phones were quite excellent phones. If my old Nokia had gotten an official W11 update I would seriously consider pulling it out of the drawer ag

Cordless phones were pretty common during that era, and they were just as trivial to listen into. Teenage me had a hard time looking the neighbors in the eyes afterwards though...

Yeah. I intended to get a CS degree, but the parents insisted it wasn't worth the efforts and that I was better off with a real job. I eventually got into IT anyway, but It's nice to know I have a proper education to fall back on

Definitely. It's an interesting idea, but going from "this could have happened" to saying "it did happen", is quite a leap. :)

There's definitely a lot of more modern developments as well, but there's also stories like Jack and the Beanstalk, that can be traced back thousands of years and which has themes similar to those described in the article.

Well, there's been a number of very large bird and reptile species that humanity has been in contact with since the dawn of man. Many of our forefathers were rather small compared to modern humans, and a gigantic serpent or amphibian w

I'm not sure about the descriptions of Neanderthals presented in this article, but the idea that old tales of orcs and elves originated many millennia ago as descriptions of other human species or other primates isn't that far-f

Narh, the Chinese government's actions are unforgivable. As are the actions of others who did the same thing.

There was a revolution or two that started as simple protests...

I was thinking the same thing. Does anyone know if there's any recent data on Earth's magnetic field, and which is publicly available?

It's funny how the rest of the World is suddenly expected to adhere to U.S. cultural boundaries even though they simply don't apply. All of a sudden I've somehow changed ethnicity to "White". Simultaneously, people

Let's just state it plainly: unless there's a major change of priorities amongst the populace of Western countries, a political solution in the West is either going to be very slow, or it will have to include undemocratic methods

You're right. Anecdotal data points and gut feelings aren't as useful as regular measurement. Incidentally, the article specifically mentions a series of measurements, indicating that there is indeed a climate change going on, and
