  1. Validity of Parent Post? on North Korea Advertises Military Hardware On Twitter and YouTube, Defying Sanctions (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone with a military background able to comment on the validity of the parent post?

  2. Re:NASA Link to the story on Small Leak Discovered on Russian Side of International Space Station, NASA Says (go.com) · · Score: 2

    Fracture mechanics. Pressure vessels are designed to "leak before break". By design, a small hole will not turn into a large fracture on ISS or any other modern spacecraft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  3. Just like Apple Watch on The iPhones of the Future May Be Wireless, Portless and Buttonless (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't removed the lightning port yet. At this point its just another back door.

  4. Send Miguel Santiago a commet... on Democrat With Financial Ties To AT&T Guts California's Net Neutrality Law (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Write Miguel Santiago a comment if you're in district 53: https://a53.asmdc.org/article/...

  5. Great example of white privilege here. Please come over if youâ(TM)re black, brown, blue, or other, too! As you can see in the patent post, we need all the help we can get..

  6. Misleading statistics? on We've Reached Peak Smartphone (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Scaling for the 13 vs 14 month quarter: (77.3/(78.3/14*13)-1)*100=6.3% growth. That's better than the market average for every year since 2014 based on the chart in TFA. In addition, the X went on sale ~4weeks later than historic Q4 iPhone launches. The 25 month upgrade period (vs 23 months) could be partially attributed to apple customers waiting for the X as well I suppose. On the flip-side, I'm a content owner of an iPhone SE...

  7. ITAR Issue, not 3D printed guns on Proposed Regulation Could Keep 3D-printed Gun Blueprints Offline For Good · · Score: 1

    ITAR restricts the export of military technical data to foreign nationals. Historically, tech data has been produced by US tech companies. That is changing however. The prevalence of cheap/free CAD/CAE software and the rapid growth in modern manufacturing methods are enabling small design teams to iteratively design products that would have required many man hours and lots of cash only a few years ago. New laws are needed to restrict the flow of tech data in this new environment. The alternative is to let US designs leave the country -- bad for the economy, and potentially bad for US weapons supremacy.

  8. Re: Really ? on First Human Colonies Should Be Among Venus' Clouds · · Score: 2

    The zeppelin would not be "hit" by the wind because it would not be anchored to anything. Rather, it would move along with the wind. Turbulence (akin to airplane turbulence) would be the only concern.

    The moon has no atmosphere. Mar's atmosphere is ~1/10th the pressure of earth's, and fluctuates between -250F and 150F. Earth is the only "self-sustaining" planet known to man.
