Now it does say -mineral- resources and I don't think ice counts as a mineral, but still, I'd imagine the environmental impact isn't negligible. Specially if done in large scale.
The point you raised is moot. If you live in an apartment building, amazon key does not apply to begin with. I was offering a cheap, alternative to it.
Why does Amazon wants access to a car or my house?
Here's a $50 solution 1) Get large crate, fix it in place to prevent removal 2) Get padlock 3) Leave padlock inside crate 4) Delivery guy places package in crate 5) Delivery guy uses padlock, locks crate 6) Get home, use only key to open padlock 7) Get package 8) ??? 9) PROFIT!
And before people start tearing down this idea, ask yourself, is the flaw you found worse than "letting a stranger in my home"....
Not to flame or anything - I'm honestly asking - but haven't we discovered already hundreds of gravitational lensed galaxies already? What's different about this one?
You get an algorithm to create complex non-traditional 3D rotor shapes, simulate their behavior in wind, and then mutate the design, simulate again, and get a machine learning algorithm to learn what sort of mutations lead to a better performing 3D rotor. In theory, enough iterations -- perhaps millions or more -- should eventually lead to the "ultimate rotor"
You're describing Genetic Algorithms. It's a fairly old technique. It shouldn't be too hard to implement it. The problem here is not FOSS, it's computational power. You need quite a lot of CPU time to run all the simulations and evolve the solution.
Some sort of distributed computing framework like INSERT_PROJECT_NAME@home would work. But then you'd have to convince everyone to use it....
That's it? I've seen wind up watches with more functionality that that. How about a calendar? Or a timer? Or a stopwatch? Or a heartbeat monitor? Or a pedometer? Or a GPS receiver?
Connecting to your phone a smartwatch makes not, I'd say.
Sure, there is going to be a period in which drones and robots can kill humans. But then as countermeasures, they will develop anti-robot robots, and before you know it, entire wars will be fought without a single human life lost
The Guardian seems to be non-partisan and unbiased. They worked with Snowden breaking the NSA surveillance news, so they have a bit of good karma there.
The problems is free news. Or more correctly, people not wanting to pay for news.
For some strange reason, people expect to get their news for free on the internet. Which is kind of strange, when most people would gladly pay for a video or music subscription, or even buy digital content like games, they throw a hissy fit when they hear of a news paywall.
The problem is that news, reliable news, is not free. Research, fact checking and editing is a time and money consuming task. So when people demand their news for free, either two things can happen. 1) shut down operations (which has been the case for a few newspapers so far) or 2) pursue an ad-revenue model.
Now I don't have to tell you what the problem with 2) is. Boring stories, however important they may be, generate no traffic. Misleading headlines, half-truths and sensationalism on the other hand generates a lot of clicks and therefore is more profitable to post fake news, hearsay and rumors than do some actual journalistic work.
Social platforms exacerbate the problem. Media outlets, in an effort to reach as many people as possible (more revenue) use social networks to push their unchecked, half-baked articles. Echo chambers quickly form, and like in a very twisted version of the Telephone Game, the story mutates, getting worse as it goes along.
Want the problem to stop? It's easy: Stop getting your news from facebook (I'd personally recommend stop using facebook altogether) Stop complaining about the damn paywall and pay a subscription to a couple of trusted news outlets.
The Soyuz (Actually, Progress. Soyuz is for people) has much smaller capacity. A payload of 2,400 kg and AFAIK, doesn't go past LEO.
Falcon 9 has a payload of 22,800 kg to LEO, and 8,300 kg to geostationary orbit. Three times more expensive you say? Sure, it can also carry 9 times more stuff and father away.
I still can't wrap my head around the idea of turning when you're stuck under that beast. I imagine there would have to changes to traffic law to fix that. Let the behemoth pass over you first before you can take a left or right.
I love this.
When an individual is sued by a multi-million dollar conglomerate of sorts (Music / Movie / Software industries), they demand hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When it's the other way around: "Here's $55... we're all good?"

My beef with OSM is that is incomplete / outdated af. Specially in small, countryside towns.

The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty prohibits the exploitation of Antarctica's resources based on environmental concerns.

I thought Samsung invented those....

Just what I want in a vehicle that's in charge of my safety: Bloatware.
Here, have another one!
I'll say it before, and I'll say it again: Hovering a few feet from the ground ain't flying.
Call me when this thing can go over traffic / small buildings.

Bring in the robot soliders, I say.
In the same way that "flying" is "hovering a few feet from the ground" ;)
Please name it Mockolate! :D

The real problem is us.

Seriously, they had "Planet Express" right there and they went with "Moon Express"?!

300 miles = 482 kilometers.
Incidentally, 482 km in 30 minutes is about 960 km/h. Not bad!
So I put a phone in your phone because the phone may not always be in possession of the phone

I guess Mr. Chen and Mr. Cook have very different ideas of what the greater good is.
