Part of me feels the same, but (in NHL overtimes at least) I've also heard that injuries become progressively more common per time played as games stretch into longer and longer overtimes. That seems worth avoiding.

You're absolutely right that it depends on pricing, assuming what they offer has the technical capabilities to do what a customer needs. But how they calculate that 80% matters too, and if it's measured against a more "tradit

At a glance, that's offering funding for commoditized satellite busses (the infrastructure of a physical satellite) and payloads, so none of that goes to the groundlink. I'd also suggest that this funding offer is trailing the dir

Not as well as intuition suggests. Deep space is cold, but also the sun (and reflected energy from the Earth!) is pretty hot. Without air, there's no convection so it's all radiated energy transfer, so you're limited by how m

I'm... not convinced this is a decent offering. At the same time, I'm repeatedly wrong with this whole cloud computing, so maybe I'm just that person stuck with the old ways and telling everyone else they're doing it wro

I don't buy it, wrt recommending something already purchased. If the one thing you know about someone is a specific book (or other purchase people tend to only make one of) they bought, it's a decent assumption that they are more

gwern has a very involved post on archiving as well, https://www.gwern.net/Archiving-URLs Somewhere on my to-do list is archiving everything I visit on the internet. It's frustrating to know that I've seen somethi

I think this is a "the journey is its own reward" type of story. The author is interested in sharing the "how" of sleuthing around.

Without getting into the conspiracy-ish side of this, I'd like to point out that this is changing. Until recently, I worked at Planet Labs where our goal was to image the entire landmass of the Earth, at 3m resolution (not quite as goo

This is breaking some links. You might believe it "shouldn't", and a server "should" ignore the added params, but the reality is it's breaking them. This past weekend, I posted a link to an image on Facebook, a

I got caught this weekend where I linked an image on Facebook, and it generated the preview properly but the link is broken because the host 404's with the added fbclid parameter. I entered: https://pbs.twimg.com/media&

I have no special knowledge about this, but Chipworks is a well-respected Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) company that has been doing silicon-level reverse engineering and teardowns for a while. It looks like they're part of TechInsights now,

A while ago, I ended up watching a video about making roofing shingles using hand tools, which uses the same technique, but on only ~footlong logs. https://youtu.be/UZA1J8RHltY?t=555

A few years ago, I saw a classroom video (I would guess ~8-10 year olds, in the American public school system) as a demonstration of a teacher's technique called "my favourite wrong answer". She would have them solve a proble

I mean... in 2016 1.2% of Americans were "American Indian", so outside of that small group everyone is "clearly immigrants or the descendants of immigrants". It's pretty bad form to look at names and assume that som

Sounds like you should "just" target whichever one is easier (cheaper) to pull CO2 out of, then.

OK. But why was one rigged with explosives carried on a commercial passenger flight? I think it was going out for a demo, but surely it didn't need the explosives set up for the travel part of that trip?

Because you didn't do the math yourself, 40 miles per hour is just shy of 18 meters per second. So 120 meters is almost 6.7 seconds at that constant speed (more if you're slowing down). Start of video to collision is less than 5 s

That's a different Swarm. The one making satellites is http://www.swarm-technologies.com/ The rest of what you said is correct though: the FCC has jurisdiction because the company being discussed is an American one.

I don't know if that's as much as you think it is. Vi's actually pretty forward with what some of those costs are on her Patreon page there, and in calling the goal of $10,000 "sustainability". If I were to throw so

(Planet employee here) Planet imaging happens in the late morning, because that's when we tend to get clearer atmosphere, relatively short shadows, but minimal specular-like reflection of sunlight. This event happened in early evening

The comment is that you can no longer assume net neutrality. Under the assumption that your ISP does the equivalent of bundling television channels, you'd have end users look at their "package options" and go "no, of cou

So first, why does that not seem like the right way to you? Paying per-play is generally how I would expect broadcast/performance payments to work. The bigger problem though, is that's not how it works. You may expect those two ar

I don't agree on that. Of course, if someone wants to bypass a puzzle they can, but that's not the spirit in which I read the "no tutorials or hint systems" bit. What he's really offering is the option for the playe

Oona may have put 'hacker' in scare quotes as a tongue-in-cheek nod to the spec that she quotes in the article, but browse around her page a bit and you'll see that she is easily deserving of the title.
