You seem pretty optimistic about the economics of your tech. Is that based on extracting CO2 from air or from more concentrated sources such as power plant flue gas?

One big differentiator is the nature of the antenna needed. The phased array antenna for starlink is apparently the size of a pizza box. Iridium satphones are comfortably handheld.

Could they? When you're launching such a large constellation the key metric is $/kg. All of ISRO's rockets are at least double as expensive as SpaceX's prices for customers. Plus, they're smaller rockets and it&#x27

It's like you haven't even seen The Castle, where this very constitutional issue is discussed. Acquisition of property must be on just terms with suitable compensation. Similar to the US 5th amendment.

Is there some particular issue with enablement? At least as far as business method software patents go, enablement is often easily satisfied because they're commonly a combination of entirely well understood features.

This is a great interview! I have to say, learning about the requirement for multiple antenna modules in a smartphone, each with impressive phased arrays, the massive investment that's going to be required in microcells, and the myriad

I know some train drivers. None of them have engineering degrees or are particularly technically minded in any real way.

Plenty of people eat blue steak, sushi, and uncooked shellfish by choice. Additionally, having to do a lot of hard chewing not only strengthens jaw muscles significantly, but also your jawbone strength and size.

I'm not really sure why you think Brood War is such a pure example of basic strategy without difficult to comprehend mechanics. Even in your example, recall is far crazier in Brood War. Arbiters can also create a version of a force fie

The live game that was just played was against this version of AlphaStar. Mana did win, but it was by exploiting some poor defense against drops and hard countering the stalkers he knew AlphaStar favours. The AI still looked very good and t

As much as I love brood war, great micro over a large number of units with wide awareness (things which appear to be easy to AlphaStar) would be ridiculously overpowered, even with completely average strategy. Brood War is an awesome game b

Battery degradation is less a function of age and more of thermal management, depth of discharge, and number of cycles. Along with more durable battery design, these variables can be managed through better thermal management and more conser

And Mike Horn did it solo as well. It's a bit of an artificial category, but still impressive as well.

They're large or larger than a double decker bus. They're released well after first stage separation so they need to be as light as possible. Stupidly light. Despite being very large and very light, they need to be very resistant

Oxford at least defines public transportation as that which is merely accessible by the public that runs on fixed routes. There is certainly oodles of public transportation throughout the world which is privately funded and owned.

I've been bothering my doctors to actually check my E-health record for years. Sure, one specialist and a GP can communicate fine, but add on a couple of different specialists and it turns into a nightmare to get everyone the informati

In my experience every little bit of verisimilitude makes a huge difference. Little things like Oculus' hands which line up perfectly with your proprioception and have the fingers move depending on your finger position make a huge diff

Do you have a source on that? All sources I can find show Australia providing about 5 times the aid as NZ. About what you'd expect given respective populations. MFAT doesn't appear to support your claims. https://www.mf

I think he's saying that the correct form is: The European delivery fleet comprises low pollution cars, etc. Not "is comprised of".

Well, it's not like the AC72 and AC50 rules were a lot more popular to certain groups than Oracle is to developers. The AC75 is both a reaction to and rejection of Ellison's vision.

This isn't a Michael Crichton book. The impact is heavily studied, including in model areas and other countries. The most likely backfiring would be for it to not kill as many rabbits as hoped like in the early 90s in Australia.

It wouldn't. New Zealand already has plenty of hunting and it's not close to enough.

It might not be the strongest, but I think it might be one of the easiest to film. Lots of action and interaction between characters compared to something like Player of Games which has a lot of internal monologue.

You're probably right on Elite. I never found it a problem because the pace of gameplay is fairly slow and the cockpit takes up a lot of your field of view but experiences of motion sickness are highly subjective.

There's no shortage of compelling experiences without motion sickness and eyehurt. SuperHot, Robo-Recall, Doom, Chronos, Rec-room, Echo Arena, Elite: Dangerous, Virtual Rickality, etc. are all great.
