Having the receiver phone home would have the benefit of generating more accurate viewership data, where broadcast tv has historically relied on representative cohorts.

The whole point of captchas is to train bots. Did you think they were all road object and optical character recognition based because those are the categories humans really excel at?

From a product development viewpoint, the gun is an uninteresting part. It’s better to use something that already has a mature production line and has been thoroughly field tested. It’s the vision and control systems they are interested in developing, the gun is just the chosen end effector for this application.

Even when they’re ready to start deploying systems like this, there’s a lot of value in using compenents that the military already has a lot of spare parts for and that personnel know how to maintain. I wouldn’t expect a custom gun until units like this are commonplace.

Won’t someone think of the tech companies in these unprecedented times.

The focus should be on the widespread devastation to peoples lives. Who cares if the semiconductor industry has to deal with worse yields and higher prices? That’s not what matters right now.

For example, I used to use generic eye drops. Then there were a bunch of recalls on eye drops made in India because they weren’t kept sterile and people were getting eye infections. So now I make sure to only buy eye drops that are manufactured in countries with actual controls on health codes. It turns out that imposing that restriction elliminated all the generic options. I’m certainly not happy to be paying double for brand name pataday, but I don’t care to mess with the chance of eye infections.

It’s not a rescue mission. It was an already scheduled mission which is why it’s 6 months long. Two of the originally scheduled crew got their seats bumped so the boeing capsule test asteonauts would have seats for a normal return. Wilmore and Wiliams could have returned in the other spacex capsule that was already up there in case of emergency. They were never stranded.

Blowing up beached whales disperses the problem, but does not solve it.

A smart tv without an internet connection is usually close enough to a dumb TV. It’s not like your TV needs regular security updates so leaving it off your home network is fine.

Likely unrelated, but after I’ve cut raw garlic cloves everything feels weird, almost sticky, no matter how much I wash my hands.

My guess is the clickbait title and photo.

My favorite resource for info on tropical storms is tropicaltidbits.com. It’s definitely worth checking out if you aren’t already familiar.

Or get a $25 digital multimeter that can be used for a wide variety of diagnostic purposes.

That’s the expression of someone who let rip what they thought was a fart but got more than they bargained for.

Im actually kind of surprised that dyson didn’t bravely pioneer drm’d filters.

Corn has very shallow roots and aggressively pulls nitrogen out of the soil. Prairie plants are much more diverse than just grasses and many have very deep root networks extending down 6+ ft. Corn fields are nothing like a prairie habitat.

As the current owner of a 1930’s era property with tons of glass and rubble in the ground, please don’t. We have landfills so that individual properties don’t get filled with trash.

That’s $700 for a digital only edition without a disk drive or vertical stand. It’s $810 to match the features of the PS5.0

The ISS has gone through multiple reboosts to gain altitude because there is a small amount of atmospheric drag in its orbit. That’s not the limiting factor though.

The structure is aluminum. Aluminum accumulates fatigue damage every time it flexes. Every time the iss goes from sunlight to the earths shadow, there is significant thermal expansion/contraction. This fatigues the structure. The repeated docking maneuvers also stress the structure. Radiation and atomic oxygen also cause degredation. All those factors are relatively minor in any given year, but are always accumulating. The ISS is getting less safe and the risk of a structural failure is increasing.

On top of that all, a bunch of the systems on board were designed 30 years ago. There have been major changes in communications, power systems, etc. in the time since the modules were built. Even though new experiments are built all the time, they are still constrained by capabilities of the capsules they operate in. So there are also science advantages to moving to a newer platform.
