I just threw away an Osram "15000 hour" LED light bulb that I installed 950 days earlier, which by my estimate only served a third of it's rated life at best. https://twitter.com/martyvis/status/1390

From the article :- On Wednesday night, staff at several major public hospitals were sent an urgent memo informing them of an issue with the Sunrise EMR computer system. The system was duplicating the last digit of dosage quantities, with p

I guess in simple terms, if you apply a digital filter to a regular image after capture, you can only manipulate elements there or maybe introduce artificial effects. Special filters or lens adjustments done before capture however can manip

We have had a number of rovers there for a number of years. Certainly I haven't heard of them being hit. I can't see why there would be a concern of meteorites on Mars

The video actually said that the Taylor machines at McDonald's were exclusive to them - the other franchises use a different model. (I'd wager the others are less automagic)

In inner Sydney suburbs with terrace houses, the 2sigma distance to your street parked car might be 100 metres. You can't run an extension cord that far

Aisles. (I'm sorry to be that guy). But, yep this is a great idea. And you could probably do it from a video walking down those aisles - and present it via a VR or AR technique.

Yep. My guess is that allows them to confirm the flight plan worked and the vehicle was safe at the end, so that they could time box the report in the hour. Presumably the higher resolution data, prettier video (and maybe audio?? ) is flowi

Really loving this project. Still wondering though how you can spend $85 million developing a 1.8kg drone helicopter? And how do you actually come up with the estimate to get the budget approved? Yes I understand all the challenges of deliv

But the catapult isn't for saving on energy that needs to be carried on the aircraft. It's simply that you can't build engines and propulsion systems on a plane with the desired takeoff weight when you have as short a runway
