On 2, I don't think there are any commercial truck manufacturers in the US that don't offer electric models.

For these drivers, I think it's a clue they're about to hit a fun corner to drive at 50mph.

That is, by just putting a clock on each corner and counting their relative ticks.

The moon landings were faked, but they faked them on site.

I think that's fast enough for gravity gradiometry on a chip.

Until you get down to the details of what makes a good orbital launch vehicle vs what makes a good ICBM.

Unmodified motorcycles don't actually meet the 80 decibel limit in all situations, they just have to pass when ridden in the specific profile the test defines. Making this limit 80 decibels in all situations would require major changes

I'm sure the motor spins faster than 60rpm.

You need a bigger gun than infantry carry, but (as the article discusses) that doesn't necessarily mean a tank.

If actuators to keep the mirrors oriented correctly really do blow the budget then this sounds like a dead end.

Why is the FAA "urging" this? Can't they choose to "require" it?

Isn't the point of plastic pallets that they're more durable/reusable than wood?

The only thing worse than a drought year, is another 'Great Flood' year. When an atmospheric river turns the central valley into a lake.

I don't see a price at all. Of course, that usually means the price is extremely high.

Even if the deviation has no effect, the fact remains that the design was not updated. It's perfectly fine for manufacturing to say, "We can't meet this tolerance, are you sure it has to be this exact?" Then design engin

Isn't that all pretty much inline with China/Taiwan relations since the end of the civil war?

Has something changed between China and Taiwan? Why do you think an invasion has become more likely?

The researchers were trying to produce electrodes that reduced polysylulfide formation. That doesn't mean they expected a sulfur phase that was thought to only exist above 95C to be stable at room temperature.

Well, they return to a landing pad within a few hundred yards of where they took off. A difference worth pointing out because the plan for their next generation rocket is to actually return directly to the launch site.

Fallujah and Raqqa were pretty large scale destruction. The official civilian casualties were only in the thousands, but it's not like we dug up the cities afterwards to find all the bodies.

How has the mass changed? If we're talking about a fraction (density) it's pointless to talk about the numerator on its own.

Given that the breakthrough is getting this stable sulfur phase at room temperature that previously wasn't stable below 93C, I'd like to see how well they survive cold temperatures.

Apple isn't going to be selecting for mass/energy density. That's a major concern for EVs, but for a phone, you would gladly take double the capacity for 3x the mass.

> Who does this for WW3? China? India? A strong possibility every nuclear armed state with a hated enemy winds up firing. I wouldn't count on India and China coming out of it much better than the US or Russia.

> 2) Is it really that much of a "public square"? Since only about 22% of USA adults are on Twitter; and 80 percent of the tweets come from 10 percent of users (thus 2.2% of the USA population. That sounds pretty sizable to me.
