- ESA didn't say that
- They said "it's possible that or ..." , minute ~30 : https://livestream.com/ESA/mar...

- No other statement was published after that and no source is attached to the article.
- BBC claims this would be fact, however BBC also said this mission is "about drilling with a probe"

At the end of http://livestream.com/ESA/rose... (1:14:00) they show the very final close-up images, 5 metres above ground.

For anyone interested, ESA broadcasts a livestream of the event here.

VIDEO of the HOPE XI talk is at https://livestream.com/interne... (where you will notice that "Professor Read" is in fact Benjamin Dean, Fellow for Cyber-security and Internet Governance at Columbia SIPA. )

Turns out that batteries are not much needed for a stable RE grid: http://livestream.com/unfounda...

Euan was always a little panicky. Actully, going 100% RE is very stable. http://livestream.com/unfounda...

I'm also curious as to how closely to center it landed on its pad, would it have been successful if they had gone for a ocean platform landing or did a larger pad make all the difference.

Check out the landing image. I believe the appropriate phrase is "nailed it!"

There's a very informative online video of Paul Krugman, Thomas Piketty, and Joseph Stiglitz discussing inequality at a 92Y event.

I'm actually surprised that the post/summary doesn't include it (except for the incidental embedded version in the one article linked).

The link to the video of the awards is less than obvious on their web page...

2012 Ignoble Awards

Last month, the annual Planetary Defense Conference took place, this time in Flagstaff, Arizona (down the road from Meteor Crater). If you are interested in this topic, you really should take a look at the incredible video archive which has ALL of the presentations -- like 23 hours of them. Seriously, if you really want to dive deep into this subject, imagine me GRABBING YOUR SHOULDERS AND SHAKING YOU and saying loudly right into your face "watch these videos!"

Here is the conference webpage:

http://www.iaaconferences.org/pdc2013/

And here is the program, useful for navigating the video archive below:

But you really want to go to the videos. Here is the complete archive:

Particularly germane to the discussion here, check out this video which includes two presentations:

http://www.livestream.com/pdc2013/video?clipId=pla_48629586-65d2-44c3-a1f3-57c0c259d526

At the 1h21m point:
Overview of Collisional-Threat Mitigation Activities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Paul Miller
(very dry delivery, but very interesting review of nuclear weapon solutions)

At the 1h42m40s point:
GPU Accelerated 3-D Modeling and Simulation of a Blended Kinetic Impact and Nuclear Subsurface Explosion
Brian Kaplinger
(new PhD, on the same team as Dr. Wie, the author mention in the post that leads this thread).

These guys have thought about these problems far harder than you have. You might benefit from listening to them for 20 minutes.

Or, you know, just skip this and resume your underinformed opinionating :)

Based on the pre-launch press conference SpaceX's minimum total launch capacity is 20 metric tons (~44k lbs). SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell also specifies that SpaceX expects to actually launch around 60 metric tons (132k lbs). The video also suggested to me (although it wasn't completely clear) that part of the reason the mass on this flight was so low is they had a bunch of low density stuff and as a result ran out of volume before they ran out of mass.

Here is the livestream.com link OP's article points to: http://www.livestream.com/embed/spaceflightnow It will play filling your whole browser window.

Does anybody happen to have an rtmpdump url for this?

Douglas Crockford ('inventor' of JSON) is considered an authority on JavaScript and it's history said:

"ECMA.... created a committee and started working on the standard [ECMAScript==JavaScript] Microsoft joined the committee and dominated the work of the committee. The most important contribution of Microsoft was all of the bugs, defects and blunders that they so carefully documentated were to remain in the standard."

http://www.livestream.com/etsy/video?clipId=pla_1463e546-47ed-4a93-b59a-bd52b236e8b8 13:00+

And obviously after the vendor lock-in of the business users of Microsoft to ActiveX/IE6 they did nothing for many years, which made matters worse.

I watched this march on livestream (still ongoing) - there was no provocation prior. The police followed this march around for a good few hours. They only started clamping down on the march when they decided to take a stroll towards the UN building. (there were a few arrests throughout the march but mostly just to get the over excited protesters out of the main - and calm - group.) After that there was a mas arrest of 80 and the live stream was taken out abruptly.

uStream http://www.ustream.com/ and I believe that Livestream http://www.livestream.com/ apps both do this.

No the language hasn't changed much. People just didn't know what was possible.

Most of the programmers thought it was just a simple language with a lot of bad parts.

Turns out, it is actually a very flexible and effective language and you can avoid the bad parts.

Read a book like "JavaScript the good parts" or watch a video [0][1] Douglas Crockford in it, he wrote that book and the JSON-specification.

Maybe you would like to listen to him tell people about the history:

http://www.livestream.com/etsy/video?clipId=pla_1463e546-47ed-4a93-b59a-bd52b236e8b8

The talk starts at 1:30
He starts to explain the history at about 4:48

They talked about this explicitly at the conference, which you can hear all about if you want to wade through the 2 hours of discussion. The short version is that both are equally good targets, but that for the launch windows covered by this decadal, Uranus is notably easier to get to. If it gets pushed to the next decadal, that may change.

Since quite some time a livestream from Benghazi is available. How is this possible if the internet was blocked?

For some sites, this is true... sites that don't care if it's a little easy to download their video will do that, and probably will switch to HTML5.

On the other hand, if you can tell me how to download, e.g., this or this, just by typing some URL I can obtain relatively easily from the source of a page into the browser, I'd forever be your friend.

You can watch the Oscars live, here:

The other shows are available online as well (Hulu.com, ABC.com, as well as many local affiliate web sites). The network is available over the air in digital quality for pretty much anyone in Cablevision's coverage area. There's really no loss, just noise.
