You really think they're saying it was designed and certified to plummet airplanes into the sea? If your design and certification criteria are insufficient, you can meet your design and certification criteria and still experience a fai

Stationkeeping within a fraction of a millimeter is much easier when your instrument is on solid ground. It might simplify the platform to the point where descent into the lunar gravity well is worthwhile.

In the next sentence the author also says the damage was caused by foam "hitting the wing nine times faster than a fired bullet." A bullet goes about 900m/s, and the "nine times" figure often symbolizes orbital velo

The speed listed in the introduction is wildly wrong. The foam could not possibly have hit at 28968 km/h - that is the approximate orbital speed of the shuttle. At 82 seconds into flight, the speed is about 700m/s (2500 km/h)

One big factor is just knowing what you're eating. If you're lucky enough to work somewhere that provides meals, request that your food services provide nutritional data so that you can make healthy choices. Once you have that inf

I did the same - participated in an MRI study & asked for a copy of the scan data. They gave it to me on a CD which I promptly lost while moving. Back up your brains people!

It was measured with at least two different spectrometers: the Curiosity rover measured it with a laser spectrometer, and Mars Express with its PFS. That leaves little doubt.

Whatever process is causing the presence of methane can apparently produce hundreds of thousands of tonnes of the gas in a relatively short timeframe. Considering that spacecraft have only landed on Mars in the last few decades, a contamina

This is a great open-source project to try contributing to. The maintainers are very responsive and open new features as well as bugfixes. I had a tiny improvement in this release: https://github.com/Stellarium/stellari

Apart from whether this is nefarious and/or intended behavior, it seems odd that the bug report specifically uses protection of illegal content as motivation.

Wow, emergency disclosure request compliance went from 10 in 2017 to 162 in 2018, with a near-tripling in the ratio of produced:total requests. I wonder if their compliance policy changed, or if the requesting parties just got better at mak

In this case, social media directly makes reading difficult due to the share icons obscuring the left side of the text. Seems a window resize event fixes their positioning.

Because people add value to a community... what would you suggest, blockading the routes into the city? Unless you have an idea for reversing the trend of urbanization, telling people where they can and can't live is going to be a toug

The Trolley Problem is the most boring part of the ethics of autonomous driving. Would you tell a human driver to stay off the roads until they decide in advance what they'd do in such a ludicrous situation?

Offering to "explain the current state of the law" to someone in a giant email seems like a really poor way to resolve conflict. The pseudo-lawyer language seems almost designed to infuriate.

Don't forget - due to the speed of light it takes 5-10 hours to get feedback on if the square illuminated, but maybe more because you don't know exactly how long you'll need to wait. And there's uncertainty in whether yo

This doesn't mean that the parents get the other 85%. All the income belongs to the child, the 15% figure is put in a trust as a requirement by California law and cannot be accessed until the child turns 18.

Huh, turns out you're right, which is entirely why em- and en- both exist and mean the same thing. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/em-#Prefix

Sounds like the name is based on the perfectly cromulent word "embiggen"[1], but somewhat confusingly uses the first part of the word "enlarge". [1] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/embigge

Hi, thanks for replying! I think the only way would be to make this a client-side application somehow. This is extremely sensitive data, so the only way I can trust that you'll never misuse it is if I never give it to you in the first
