A few months ago, having watched video of another (successful) F9 landing on "Of Course I Still Love You", I wrote to SpaceX, suggesting that they might consider stabilizing out-riggers for their recovery barges.
Specifically, I had something like this in mind:-

https://images.app.goo.gl/CyBo...
https://images.app.goo.gl/jiPX...

[ the first image shows an outrigger canoe, the second a mobile crane].

I think the crane example is a good one, because it shows that OCISLY you could modified with hydraulic rams that are set in a horizontal configuration, with flotation units attached to the extensible end. By carefully tuning the size of the flotation unit, it would be possible to set them up to act as a "dampening" effect on the waves experienced by the barge.

Obviously, I didn't get a reply - but then I honestly didn't expect one. Now, the linked article doesn't really go in to detail as to why the first stage was lost. It isn't clear if the first stage is left upright for transit or whether there is a folding crane aboard that can be used to lower it to the deck... If the preference is to keep it upright, surely it is possible to have a set of extending metal braces, again, powered by hydraulics, that can fold up from horizontal storage to a vertical brace position, then maybe simply wrap a loop around the circumference of the first stage, attach that to lines up to the top of the upright braces, and raise the support loop until it is just beneath the fold-out fins... That would stop the stage from toppling over, even in rough seas.

Who knows, maybe they will look at something like this...

I'm in the Nvidia GeForce NOW beta, which is a similar service. The games run on their servers and the display is streamed back to you. I must say that it works much, much better than I ever expected. I'm in a fairly rural area but I have a decent connection at about 110 Mbps down, 8 Mbps up. It's usually quite playable, even over wifi. It does chew through a lot of bandwidth and latency can be an issue. The biggest caveat is that I like single player turn-based games. Even when I play real-time first-person games they tend to be Tomb Raider-ish, with more of a stealth and exploration focus rather than reaction time and precision. But it lets me play games with higher minimum requirements than my old-ish laptop meets, and lets me play a world of PC games that have never been ported to my Mac.

This kind of technology can work reasonably well for a lot of people. It's definitely not ready yet for the super competitive players, and I doubt it ever will be (barring some great revolution in subspace communications...) But I think there's a market for it and I'm glad to see competitors in the space.

Women's involvement is tech is a great thing. I've worked with quite a few women as peers that were great peers.

On the whole, men seem to be more likely to naturally gravitate towards tech, women not so much. There are exceptions, yes, but statistically this is the norm.

What I am upset about is being clubbed over the head with the concept that men naturally preferring STEM type things while women are less likely to is an atrocity and I'm somehow guilty of something horrible because reality is what it is. I'm also upset over people like you calling me a misogynist and putting words in my mouth that very obviously weren't there by implying as such.

FYI - my daughter has announced she wants to be an electrician. I will consider this STEM. My reaction? I needed to replace the cord on my compressor pump, the existing cord had an old Eagle DIY plug on it. I bought a new extension cord, cut off the end and wired it into my compressor pump. I took the old Eagle plug, gave it to my daughter with the scrap I cut from the extension cord. I then explained hot, neutral and ground to her (mansplaining to a sixteen year old girl, I know how you think -see, I can do it to) and had her make me a 1 ft extension cord for work so I don't have to reach under the desk at work to plug things in. I also told her I thought it was a great career choice. I was proud to give her what was to be her first high-voltage project, no matter how small it was.

I did rent a Tesla and my real range was about 50% of its EPA range. Kona has EPA range 485km. If it behaves in high speed driving (175km/h) and winter conditions (around 0'C) the same as Tesla Model S (does it?) then its real winter fast drive range is about 242km. Therefore to drive to a city and back the city must be at most 121km away. The capital is for me 122km away, that is too tight for practical usage. Yes, I can drive slower but then it is often even colder than 0'C, one needs to drive some errands in the capital, one should keep at least 10% battery reserve (that is 109km range) etc. A bit more range of Tesla would satisfy me (but not so its price).

So, this is buried in the article:

The name of the employee who was disciplined is redacted in the documents produced via FOIA. His attorney, Noah Peters, said that the employee declined to comment or to identify himself. Peters said that his client was punished by Google for dissenting from the company's "very, very left-wing office culture" and for sticking up for co-workers who didn't conform to the "tribal" political correctness there. Chris Baker, an attorney representing another worker whose claims against Google are part of the same NLRB case, declined to comment. “This case is without merit and we are defending the claim vigorously," Google's spokeswoman said.

Google has denied the NLRB’s allegations of wrongdoing. In a filing responding to the NLRB, it says the employee it disciplined had committed misconduct which “interfered with Google’s lawful interest in maintaining an inclusive workplace for women and minorities that is free of unlawful bias, discrimination, and harassment.” Google also wrote that the NLRB should reverse some of the legal precedents being used against it, including the Purple Communications standard. It is not uncommon for companies to challenge legal precedents being used in cases against them.

In other words this entire case is built on incel snowflake James Damore being disciplined for using Google's internal email system to spread his gamergate anti-women bullshit.

For informational purposes, here is an unedited photograph of James Damore in happier days with a couple of his bros (who asked that their faces be obscured out of embarrassment for ever having associated with such a whiny little bitch):

I'm no expert by in an ordinary car doing safe speeds on an unpaved gravel road I'd think half that, maybe 50 kph, is more reasonable.

You could easily do 100k on a road like that. Although once when I got to about 140k on a dirt road the car slowly started fish-tailing. I backed off to 100k and it was all good.

there is apparently no official listing of city names into western characters

This issue is common to the entire Thai language, not only street names. There is no standard system for romanizing Thai script. The Thai language uses many vowels and consonants that do not exist in western languages, and it's a tonal language where meaning is altered by tone.

When working in Bangkok, I noticed that street names are often obviously written by non-Thai speakers. A good example is the 'Rasan' area in Bangkok, Sukumvit 105.. Every street sign in the area is written 'La Salle' not 'Rasan'.

The thai script for 'La Salle' ends in the 'L' character but in Thai script 'L' is pronounced 'N' at the end of a word.

To a native Thai speaker that mistake is basic and immediately obvious; and confusing 'Rasan' with 'La Salle' would never be made. Just one of many, many examples I noticed in Bangkok.

So it doesn't surprise me that Indian workers, who already speak English as a second language, are unable to establish correct street names there.

I'm extremely upset about this. I've been training my entire adult life for the eSports at the Paris Olympics. And I was really looking forward to appearing on the Wheaties box.

Bull. The TMT is being built on top of a volcano. It's a mostly frozen desert up there, and looks a bit like Mars. It's also right next to a bunch of other telescopes, on land that was set aside for that purpose sixty years ago. It's also one building, with very, very few people coming and going.

For the lawyers? Yes, they're a lot richer and happier now, thank you.

There aren't any inhabitants up there. Even the telescopes are mostly robotic. Where there are inhabitants, you can't see the top of Mauna Kea.

In other words, the vast majority of the additional wealth that's been generated in the economy since Reagan started in office has been sucked up by the ultra-wealthy in this country.

You incorrectly reason about these groups as if they were fixed groups of people; of course they are not. The top 1% are not just different individuals, they are different professions in 2018 from those in 1979 (most of the top 1% from 1979 are probably dead by now).

In fact, the bottom 20% are largely simply young folks and unskilled workers. At age 18, for example, a $20000/year income puts you in the top 10%. Workers don't stay young and unskilled forever. And, yes, it makes perfect sense that starting salaries for young or unskilled workers haven't gone up because that demographic is probably no more productive today than it was then; increased productivity generally requires increased skills and experience.

Actually, I would very much like young people and low income people to make more money, which is why I object to obvious economic errors like the ones you just made. It is your kind of faulty reasoning that keeps so many Americans in poverty.

If you don't want to click on the link, essentially it shows that from 1979-2007, income for the bottom quintile has increased by 10% over that entire time span, not per year, while income for the top 1% has increased nearly 300% over the same period. In other words, the vast majority of the additional wealth that's been generated in the economy since Reagan started in office has been sucked up by the ultra-wealthy in this country.

By the way, this info comes from the Congressional Budget Office via The Economist magazine, hardly some left-wing crackpot source.

Why'd you choose one of the hardest out there? Converting AK to full auto without semi-auto option takes like 5 minutes with no tools, just a piece of wire to tie two parts together. There's a book on Amazon, "Full-Auto Conversion Of The SKS Rifle." To convert FN FNC you need to make this kind of part. This all within 10 minutes of googling.

BTW, converting AR to full-auto with no semi-auto option is supposedly not all that hard either.

That's a G7 meeting in 1994. In southern Italy. In July. Every single man in that picture is wearing something that is completely unsuited for the weather and location. But they're all the same.

It was a bit worn, but could probably have been easily restored. Last time I was close up to it (at the adjacent Stanford facility where the ugly parking lot has sprung from the ground - far uglier than that sign even in its faded state) about a month ago one of the letters (the "P") on the south-east side was missing its "plastic", and I think a letter on the other side suffered the same fate - but other than that there didn't appear to be any substantial damage.

I wonder if Stanford is going to take advantage of "grandfathering" of old signs so they can stick up a big "Stanford" sign that they wouldn't be allowed to do if the sign was new. (Sort of what Santana Row did with their tall sign that used to be, IIRC, a Chevy dealer sign).

To those of us who were born in the Bay Area in the 1950's, this sign definitely is a landmark of historical significance - in part this is because there are so few remaining original vestiges of the boom times in the Silicon Valley left.

But, it's Stanford's property and at least if some responsible party wants the sign to display it somewhere else it sounds like Stanford may be open to that.

Well, if nothing else, they have Street View in South Korea, so there's that, but they also benefit from well-maintained public streets every time a ground courier delivers a Google-branded device, like a Chromecast or smart speaker, to a customer in South Korea.

Power failures. When I lived in the boonies, power failures were pretty frequent. They usually lasted a few seconds to a few minutes, so I bought UPSes and figured I was safe.

Then one night during a storm, the power went out. My UPSes kicked in, but the power didn't come back for more than 10 minutes. So I shut down my desktop and switched to my laptop. But 45 minutes in I lost Internet (I figure the cable company's battery backups ran out). No problem, I could chill for a few hours playing games on my laptop connected to a 12V car battery I kept around for such emergencies. Right? Turns out a tree fell over and took out the main power line. It took them 3 days to repair it. No electricity meant no heat, lights, hot water, refrigeration (I ended up putting most of the food in a basket and putting that outside), or computers. What ended up saving me was an antique wood stove. I chopped up some spare wood 2x4s left over from redoing the fencing, and burned those. For 3 days that was my only way to heat the house, warm water, and cook meals. I had candles, but fortunately my supply if AA batteries for my flashlights held.

I ended up moving soon after, but a generator was next on my shopping list if I hadn't. I moved back to Southern California with a much better appreciation of what it's going to be like when The Big One hits. I ended up buying a diesel truck with 110V AC outlets, and keep spare cans of diesel fuel in the garage (it can last for years with additives to kill biological organisms, unlike gasoline which usually goes bad after a few months). Been mulling over getting solar panels plus a battery bank installed as well; I'm just not sure if this is the house I want to continue living at.

You're making assumptions on how the system works. It's actually beautifully simple, as the chemicals are mixed right into the jet fuel. Thus, you don't really need any special equipment on the airplane, as the chemicals are stored right in the fuel tanks and dispersed per the normal operation of the aircraft. Their is no separate tanks, and the ground crews and pilots have no need to know about the system at all.

You mean the extremely volatile jet fuel? What's the mix of fuel and chemicals? By you definition of "normal operation of the aircraft" you are asserting that dumping the fuel (which the plane needs to fly) is the only way to get the chemicals out. First of all, now you are further diluting the chemicals by mixing them in the fuel. Second the dumping of fuel is something that pilots and crew and passengers would tend to notice. Third, it doesn't reduce the need for fuel to carry extra weight but it complicates the ability of pilots and airlines to do the necessary calculations. Right now, the weight of the cargo and plane is factored against the weight of fuel for simplicity. If the fuel is diluted, that dramatically affects the calculations.

Admittedly, this did have one big snag, as it is a bit tricky to get the chemicals to survive the extreme heat of the engines. However, the breakthrough came with the newer, more fuel efficient engines that also happen to run a bit cooler, allowing the chemicals to pass through the engine and be dispersed. This is why, a few years back, all the airlines were quick to replace all their planes in the name of "fuel efficiency" and being green.

Oh, you're saying it comes through the combustion chamber. Well that's address your points: 1) combustion would destroy the chemicals. 2) More fuel efficient engines does not mean "cooler" combustions. Nowhere do I read that one way to make engines more efficient is to lower the combustion chamber temperature. Typically combustion chambers are at 2000C. Lowering that a few hundred C still would combust any other chemicals 3) the new designs bypass more air not fuel. 4) the airlines replaced their planes as they were retired because it saves them money in the long run. No airline went out and just replaced all their planes in a day.

If you crunch the actual numbers, you'll see that while the newer planes do use a bit less fuel and therefore are slightly cheaper to run, it doesn't really make economic sense to replace an aircraft that costs hundreds of millions of dollars and still has useful life in it for what amounts to rather meager fuel savings.

Again no airline just went out and replaced their airplanes in a day because the new models got better fuel economy. What they did was replace their one plane at a time when those plane were set to retire. What airlines would do is change their plans when it came to buying new aircraft. For example, an airline could convert some of their 757 orders to more 737s back in the day. Or an airline getting more Airbus 320s that are more fuel efficient than the 737 Next Gen and before the 737 Max was released.

Which is why, of course, the major cargo carriers (that don't disperse chemtrails) were more than happy to buy up all these "obselete" aircraft at bargain basement prices.

First of all what is your proof that major cargo carriers don't disperse chemtrails? This is a UPS plane with contrails. Second, whether airlines were spraying chemtrails or not would not affect the major cargo carriers decision to buy older aircraft. They buy older aircraft because they are cheaper and their requirements for a airplane are far less than a passenger commercial airline. Also the major cargo carrier buy new aircraft all the time to meet their needs. For example

Note the yield to bikes as the right lane is a bike lane, she was half in this lane when she was hit if you bothered to watch the actual darkened video uber released. So despite crossing legally, in a non-designated area, where there was a sign pointing people to the cross walk (precisely becase so many people cross there) the car hit her. Had this been a regular car with the same footage - no swerving, no speed change, just plowing full speed into a pedestrian walking a bicycle, the driver would be facing criminal charges of man slaughter.
