This should be the top comment, and that video interview from NASA should be mandatory to watch before commenting in this thread.

I don't know how you define "last startup to succeed", but... Hummer (1992, 28 years ago), Pagani (1992), McLaren (1985, 34 years ago), Kia (1974, 45 years ago), Hyundai (1967, 52 years ago) and even Jeep (1946, 74 years ago)

This already exists. It's mainly focused on high-strength (10% and up) dark beers. Think imperial stout, triple bock, that sort of thing. The exeception to this rule is that beers with added acidity, like a lambic or a Berliner weisse,

You would need a suitable formation in terms of geological properties and then you'd need to drill and complete an injector and a producer well. Best case, you would probably lose half the stuff you're trying to store due to multi

The 900 turbo was a genuine cool car back then. Among famous owners you find tennis legend and fashion icon Bjorn Borg (left in this picture): https://images.svd.se/v2/images/272d7d06-9b1e-4825-a13e-1f26...

There was a remark in the old school Linear Algebra book we had in university (Edwards & Penney) that stuck with me, to the effect (probably I recall the details wrong) that one of the authors were once involved in data analysis of wate

No, you misinterpret what I said. They should most definitely help out - by aiding in manufacturing a known working design at bigger scale.

Actually, we had a (world renowned) medical company where I live annouce an emergency ventilator design, complete with functioning prototype. The design was quickly torn apart in public by doctors working on actual Covid-19 patients (the ca

Because it's an obvious sticking point, everyone's had trouble with bluetooth not recognizing the same ol' headset, the burden of evidence is on the developers. And if they have done the test and not published the results,

They should do a dead-simple PoC to demonstrate this actually working with Bluetooth. Just make a stupidly simple test app, get 100 volunteers to install the app, have them all wear masks etc. while walking around randomly in the same big r

I haven't used a TRL, so I don't see what's the difference from just using a digital camera that can flip the screen 90 degrees up? Like an Olympus M1 mk. 3, for instance?

The people in rural Africa argument is BS. Here is a 2016 report (see link in this CNN story) https://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/19/africa/africa-afrobaromet... that found: "In Africa, less than one in

Blender also has boids you can play with. Here are some fishy ones: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zN2bhKyCJwk It looks really good even though the "fish" are just made from two pyramids.

Speaking from experience, 1/12th of a teaspoon of instant yeast is below 1 gram. So you need specialized equipment to measure this. But you can estimate 1/12th teaspoon fairly accurately.

Same thing the Chinese did with solar panels back in the early 2000s. Subsidise national production so it could run at a loss, forcing others out of business and cornering the market. In some sense it's pretty obvious that a free marke

Or how about just having a workstation at work? E.g. the Dell XPS 15 is a very popular laptop, but an equivalent cost workstation is around 8x faster for sustained well-parallelizable loads. Use a KVM switch with your work monitor, or use i

Yeah, all over Europe (at least EU and EEA) this is the norm. Americans are usually quite surprised when they learn the level of detail these checks go to. Even for a 20 year old car, you will be told stuff like "you need to replace th

Add to that the absolutely hideous chromatic aberrations in the optics - and this is not just low-end cars, at least the normal BMWs used to be terrible at this - and you get blinded by basically pure blue light.

On the flip side, in the used Tesla market over here it's surprisingly common to see "battery replaced last year under warranty" on cars that have done ~80k miles.

This is a key point. Especially if we actually start doing something about CO2 emissions, which will mean reducing energy consumption for the next couple of decades. Stock market growth has historically been tightly linked with energy consu
