I don't see how anyone could have read the defuse proposal and failed to conclude that it was highly likely that covid was a lab leak. Particularly given the propensity in research to seek funding for work you already did under the tab

I paid $1700 USD-ish. I'm aware many products have a higher price in AU but that's pretty extreme! :) OTOH, dark skies plus a view of the southern sky is something to be jealous of. :P Earlier this year I was in eastern AU (and vi

That was done with a skywatcher EQ6. With a cooled camera shot noise from light pollution for me starts to dominate readout noise at only 5-10 second exposures for color, so in some sense the mount's stability and tracking matter less.

The M87 jet can be optically imaged by amateurs too, here is an image I took using a 400mm (focal length) f/2.8 camera lens, a cooled cmos sensor, and many hours of observation: https://nt4tn.net/astro/M87jet.png

There is some amount of controversy of the EHT imaging process because there are pretty strong priors backed into it (like a lot of modern physics observations, e.g. LIGO)-- and at least one group suggests that you get a similar looking don

Interesting, I've certainly had nuisance trips at <100% looking at https://www.ece.uprm.edu/~lorama/Square%20D%20CB%20Curves.pd... page 36 you can see even at the rated 25c ambient it goes below 1 (though not

It'll trip if you're drawing 10a sustained, you really can only draw 80% sustained to avoid a nuisance trip.

It shouldn't. Google hasn't otherwise seen the image, so the employee couldn't have witnessed a crime. There are reportedly many perfectly legal images that end up in these almost perfectly unaccountable databases.

it's not just electronics cause positives-- corroded metal does too, anything that forms a semiconductor can get detected.

How much does scattering from dust between the planets hurt the contrast by making it hard to reject the sun's light?

I think that's only a challenge at all because of how mass and power limited such a craft would be. The obvious solution is to use lasers. It might even be possible to use a modulated retroreflector on the craft-- e.g. we fire a high

Is there a reason one would not consume beer from a stainless steel vacuum insulated tumbler? With a well insulated container the shape could be selected to minimize tipping / sloshing / spilling.

Yeah, FT8 will work fine with a signal something like 20 dB below where I can even tell that there is a person talking with SSB phone. It'll work where morse code will not-- FT8 has on the order of 6dB over morse though obviously that

Indeed, but the manufacturer doesn't promise anything-- for all you know the next processor generation or even microcode revision could change that. It would be nice for processor makers to explicitly specify that the common arithmetic
