The Warhog is so different that I can't imaging that they really can share the same mission profile. So, when they do get the F-35 up to specs, we'll have two very different high performance tools.
In the short run, a problem. In the long run we'll do well.
I have no idea what calculations based solely on sun tilt would yield. I'm guessing there are so many causal possibilities that there would be no single answer.
If I get it right, observations noted that a number of large objects all seem to have highly eccentric orbits that "lean out" to one side of the sun. Further, their orbital periods are in integer ratios. From that information, the most likely explanation seems to be a very massive object who's orbit "leans" to the other side, with a very long orbital period. A lot of math there - over my head.
If I get it right, a solar system like set of massive objects acts something like a mechanism in which orbital periods tend to become integer ratio bound.
Reason being, that gravity can nudge an object (A) a little faster if the closest approach has (B) leading a little, also slowing (B) down a little, until there eventually becomes a time where close approaches tend not to have minimal net change on the system as a whole.
It's like the clocks on the wall where multiple clocks put on a wall tend to end up synchronized and I think keep more consistent time than any one by itself. The vibration through the wall serves to nudge clocks to become synchronous.
Likewise, orbital objects exchange energy by gravitational pull and act as a system that eventually tick tocks at a integer ratio time period.
"...why should design be done for the lowest common denominator?..."
If I have only a binary choice between show-off-design vs "lowest common denominator" high legibilty typography, I'm going to choose high legibility. As it is, I zoom most web sites larger since I like to sit back from my laptop.
But then, must it be binary? Isn't there another path, a middle road with elegant design, but enough contrast and size to make reading easy?
Oh for god's sake - who gives a darn what their kids have on their computer - they have a computer, so they'll be fine. This is all clickbait. Not to mention invading what little privacy Gates' kids might have left.
Is there not some place the media would have the discretion to stay out of?
I've pretty much stopped looking at FB. They won't let me configure it the way I want. As it is now, it wastes too much of my time. I'd use it if they let me just get friends' posts. No news. No suggested stuff, not added content. I'd even watch a properly identified ad if that was the compromise to see only the few other things I want to see.
I'm no Apple fan either. I love to take a shot at Apple any chance I get, however the math here is so bad I can't make sense of it. First, the article uses the word "fail" which I associate with complete loss of function, bricking, dead, unrevivable...so I thought the premise was dead iphones vs dead androids. No. Just how many were not perfect.
100% of cell phones are imperfect. it's a tie folks.
Browsing the net, endless meaningless things pop up with absolutely no relevance to the user. We get really good at clicking unwanted junk off the screen. Result, what's the first instinct? Lunge to get rid of that distraction. No matter how locked down one's browser is, some message frequently interferes, and we become very well trained to set the distraction aside.
Every once in a long while, the distraction has value. Or, had, before I killed it and then wondered if maybe I was a bit hasty.
Whenever Uber hits the news, it disgusts me more. Not that i'm against the core notion; I think it's great, but Uber's top management are scumbags and I have never used them, and don't plan to. I'll happily use some other similar company, just not Uber.
It's too late for me. I killed off my last Win partition quite a while ago - gladly I might add. And even if Unity or Mint *can* run atop W10, I'm happy using real Linux, top to bottom.
Take it however you want. I had and have no skills to speak of. My point is that linux is so easy that one does not need skills to do basic stuff. I was stumped with Windows. Linux made it easy.
Guess I disagree within limits about the ease of fixing stuff. The limit is that I stay well backed up. and if something goes pearshaped, I'll reinstall, and once again, linux makes that braindead easy.
Another thing. I use one of the 'buntus. Installation and basic upkeep are just simple. I look back on the Windows days with horror.
re #9:
The first time I used Linux: when my last (and final) Windows machine began to do mindfuckingly stupid things, it was Linux that helped me sort out the mess that windows had become. I ran Linux off a live Linux disc that I had hanging around and had never used, and sorted out the mess that I could not from within Windows. The Linux distribution was in German. I don't know German. But it was so easy to use I figured out how to sort out the mess, in a language I don't know, with an operating system I had never used before.
I wonder how the representative was able to say,
"...For your situation, you would have to dispute the payment with your bank."
without either falling over laughing, or suffering a crippling attack of guilt. Or both.
Why still use checks? Because it seems that too often online accounts are not properly secure. One company I deal with will not allow signins over 12 digits - and only alphanumeric, no other characters. They are a very big company with no excuse to be back in the 1990s level of sorta secure.
Ever wonder how wildly expensive textbooks can be low margin inventory? The whole college textbook market, including college bookstores, is rigged to enrich textbook publishers. If the bookstores don't toe the publishers' line, they don't get the books.
I guess I've made my point and you have made yours. You sound as if you feel I did not listen or did not understand your points. I think I did, but simply disagree with your weightings and thus conclusions. Unlikely we will agree any more if we hammer away at it.

This one - the AC who speaks truth...
Orbital mechanics is how the conjecture came to be. But the calculations give only a very general idea of where to look.

The way I read it, they are saying they could have gone to 5g already, but are holding out to dig even deeper in the consumer's pocket.

Funny, not that many years ago you would have written, "You are a perfect example of why Linux has not rising above a 1% share."
More recently it would have been, "You are a perfect example of why Linux has not rising above a 1.5 % share."
Now you get to say, "You are a perfect example of why Linux has not rising above a 2% share."
Soon you will say, ""You are a perfect example of why Linux has not rising above a 2.5% share."
And so on...
Nuff said.
That smacks of truth,
One way ethics?
Wow. just, wow.
What you say makes sense. Maybe not good PR, but logical.
Makes just as much sense as any other explanation.
