One promise of nitinol mesh tires on extraterrestrial rovers is that damage could in theory be remotely fixed via resistance heating. Does this product leverage the shape memory properties of nitinol in any way? If someone permanently def

I wonder what 3rd party certification would cost. Industries that use sensors like this frequently require annual recertification, so there are typically multiple testing houses and competitive prices.

To rephrase my comment below - what if Sony, who owns Bob Dylan's master recordings, use their own hardware, software, & reference materials to generate new "Bob Dylan" music?

It will definitely end up in the courts. This* is a list of artists that have sold the rights to their music catalog. If Sony, who spent $200m on Bob Dylan's master recordings, sets up servers, pays developers, and creates a network

What If I personally train a network on my own art? The computer is mine, the software is mine, the reference art is mine, but I have no rights to anything produced?

One major issue is the number of jobs the current system props up. I wouldn't call it corruption when a lobbyist tells a Senator that pre-filled tax forms would cost their district 10k jobs. But I don't think the government shou

Can we just switch to pre-filled tax forms already? The average American spends about $200/year and 12hrs preparing their taxes. This study from last year found that pre-filled tax forms would be accurate for 42-48% of people. That

I would love for things like this to be pegged to some sort of metric, but once you do that the focus shifts to gaming that metric.

Predation is a commonly used term in horticulture, especially in situations like this. From what I can glean, it is considered predation if the plant's lifecycle is interrupted. For example, cows would not be considered predators, bu

Fans help with mosquitoes. They wander around until they detect exhaled CO2, and then zigzag their way to the source. An oscillating fan helps prevent them from honing in. I've seen fans setup at family barbeques at the park. https

I found this breakdown of JPL's CNEOS data to be every helpful. The close approach time chart shows % chance of impact vs day. From this I take it that we just didn't have enough info at the time of publishing.

The chart is H vs. Albedo, and is awkwardly formatted. H is the brightness observed on earth. Albedo is the inherent reflectivity of the object. What the chart is saying is that if we observe an object that is 19.5 H bright, it could eith

I had to guess without albedo data, but an H of 19.2 puts it in the 0.4 to 0.5 km range, so 400m could be on the conservative side. If it randomly has an albedo of 0.05, it could be as large as 0.96km https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov&
