Do you have a source for that number? The whole rocket weighs 550 metric tons fully fueled on the pad, I am having a hard time coming up with a way for that to create 50x as much greenhouse gas. According to Everyday Astronaut's articl

The article states a "net-positive energy result", not necessarily a faster time for this specific optimization. They say GZIP decompression is energy-intensive, so while the combination of read + decompress may be faster, the CPU

This is an often stated postulate, but I'm not sure I agree. Sure, making money is necessary for a company to survive, but it doesn't have to be an end goal, and imho it's detrimental when it is. The goal can and should be to

Germany has a lot of them on mostly remote, rarely serviced lines that see only a small number of regional trains per day. Main reason is cost to upgrade weighed against the (relatively) low risk of incidents because of low amount of traffi

The way I handle any streaming video subscriptions is: - Have a list of stuff I want to watch. - Once the list has enough on it from any one streaming provider (Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO, etc), I activate my subscription on that service, pay

Yes, with Fastmail this is quite easy to set up. It automatically uses the alias when replying to an email that was addressed to one, but you can also manually choose (on input) any alias for an outgoing email.

Anecdote on this: I've been flying R/C planes and drones in some publicly accessible fields with friends for years. Some farmers were a bit confrontational when they saw us (sometimes understandably so, we were always careful but

It's definitely the case in Germany for all insurances, electricity and other utilities, etc - they have long cancellation periods, but if the contract changes to your detriment (usually any sort of price increase), you're allowed

Apple argued they are separate platforms, and got around the EU requirements with that. So there are no third-party app stores and browser engines on the iPad available yet. Until now, that is.

300A of current is going through the wire, at high voltage - that's the transmission current. Drone is not charging directly from that, it lacks a ground / other phase connection to directly tap into the wire voltage (also, it lac

Don't dismiss Ardupilot so easily. Yes, it grew out of Arduino Megas running the code with some stapled-on sensors, but that was many years ago - it's an extremely powerful and arguably more "hobbyist"-friendly platform

Longer. My M3 RWD delivered in December 2022 has a third-gen LFP pack with 60 kWh capacity, in the years before they used first a 50 and then a 55 kWh packs before going to the current 60 kWh variant.

That metric is tracked indirectly, by the lower number of accidents that AVs are involved in per distance travelled compared to human-driven vehicles.

Cruise has exactly that. In this case however, the car decided to "pull over" autonomously after the incident, before a remote driver could get involved, and with that pulled the struck pedestrian 20 feet along the ground and pinn

That is a thing of distant past. It runs beautifully natively on M1/M2 chips and has no noticeable difference in power consumption vs Safari.

Damn, how did I miss this? Looks like a really nice "self-hosted nYNAB". Only downside is that the native apps are unmaintained since the project went open-source, and the web UI isn't responsive (yet) - but looks like there

That "certain amount of time" is variable, but in practice is on the level of 10-15 seconds for the Mercedes system - at least that's what it was when it was first certified in Germany some time ago. It is designed to let you

I wonder why they don't plan to execute the flip and landing burn with the ship, just for additional test data. So far it fully worked only once (and _almost_ worked a couple more times), surely it can't hurt to have another go at

The booster has not yet flown, no. The closest it came was a all-engines static fire (during which 2 out of 33 engines didn't fire, but it was still enough of a success to continue with the program apparently).

You would need to build a second tower with catch arms there. The booster does not have landing legs and will not touch down on the ground, the plan is to have it settle on the same "tower arms" that are used as a crane to stack t

Specs on the linked site say the FPV camera and live feed have been upgraded from 480p/30 on the Inspire 2 to 1080p/60 on the 3.

This is a class too big for that, you're better off with a Mavic or even a Mini for lower cost, better stealth and simpler one-man operation.

The Inspire has never been intended to fly with goggles. It has a dedicated "pilot view" FPV camera, but in normal usage it's typically operated by a crew of two, a pilot flying line-of-sight and/or via FPV camera and a

Basically, this mechanics is the drone's landing gear. When on the ground, the arms pivot down, allowing it to touch down with the camera staying above ground level, protected from impacts. When airborne, the arms pivot up, opening up
