The US space program wouldn't have been a gleam in NASA's eye but for the German V2 rocket engineer Von Braun. The V2 program wouldn't have been a gleam in Hitler's eye without the work of Robert Goddard. AC's rude and thoughtless rambles wouldn't have been a gleam in Robert Metcalf's eye without all the basic research done by DARPA.
The space and military programs had taken rockets and networks as far as they could conceive or afford. Other people saw other possibilities and built upon the shoulders of giants. It's called progress. Get a grip.
That scene is the sum of what I know about the Indianapolis and the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the story. Robert Shaw had a great presence in that movie. "Jaws" also had Roy Scheider with the classic line "We gonna need a bigger boat".
Years ago I was on a Universal City Studio tour where we saw an animatronic shark from the movie. It looked so fake. I was embarrassed to think back on how scared shitless I'd been when I first saw the movie.
It should start with 'Long weekend every weekend!' but nobody seems to want to work towards that.
The French do. Their economy isn't so hot but they sure know how to relax and enjoy life. Americans and, I think, Japanese, believe in the "work very hard and die as soon as possible" ethic. That way your next of kin get to deal with the paperwork. Woo-Hoo! Let's hear it for the highly-motivated self-destructing slave labor class!! Thank you sir! May I have another?!
"Stupid Americans. I'm doing almost the same thing but with their insipid electoral process and mind-numbing 'social media' and I'm not paying them a Ukrainian dime".
Obviously not want to step on anyone's toes, CEO Brian Krzanich resigned the council on Monday and said

Nice suckup there Brian.
Actually it wasn't politics, it was just a relatively minor Trumpian faux-pas. It wasn't the worst or dumbest thing he's ever done, or will do. It's is if, after 9/11, George Bush had said that the people working in the World Trade Center had been just as responsible for the attacks as the people on the planes. Or after the San Bernardino massacre, Obama has said "14 Americans got an unpleasant surprise as they came together to celebrate the holidays. The injuries and possibly worse were the result of actions by everyone present". Trump knows where his voter base is and didn't want to upset anyone with harsh, politically incorrect labels like "intolerant" or "hate-monger" or "racist" or "dickless inbred, syphalic-brained diarrhea guzzler".
... you are probably going to end up with a metallic glass, which won't be very strong at all.
It's more like a metallic cornbread.
This technology has been around for years in the rotating rust mass storage game (i.e. disk drives). A major problem (glossed over on the web site and not mentioned at all in the video) is that the parts shrink and warp when baked (sintered), and not always consistently or in an linear predictable manner. The parts would still need machining to true up any surfaces where precise alignment or fit was required. The resulting part is less dense and lacks the metallic structural advantages as a forged or machined piece. OTOH, the parts are lighter which is nice in some situations. The acoustic signature and resonance characteristics are entirely different than a solid part which, in the proper context, can be a major advantage.

I wonder.... just extrapolating from events, how much worse can this get?
President Bezos today ordered the Justice Department and FBI to seize the phones of people who have posted negative reviews of Amazon. If the owners are found to have made disparaging comments, they can be charged with collusion and domestic terrorism. While that may seem like a stretch, Amazon is now the official sole-source supplier of the US Government.
There are no innocents at a riot, just co-conspirators. Lock up all the scum.
Are you siding with the brutal regimes that were in power during the Arab Spring protests, riots and revolutions? Are you siding with the English during the original Boston Tea Party and American Revolution? Are you siding with the "segregationists" (a politically correct term for "Klan" or "racists") and state and local governments during the racial protests in the 60s? Are you siding with Nixon, J Edgar Hoover and the military/industrial complex (the original "swamp") during the anti-Vietnam protests?
True change sometimes requires more than peaceful letter-writing campaigns and grandmothers having cookie bake sales. Even Trump has advocated for the use of violence against those who disagree with him.
sperm counts are are result of hair style? Interesting theory. Have you talked to your therapist about your fears around this?

Not sure. Like Roomba etc. they just go somewhere, hide out and plug themselves in to recharge...
And, like Roomba they'd have a hard time going from hardwood to rugs to tile to carpet. They wouldn't be able to kill anyone under the couch. They'd bump into the cat and turn around to go seek victims in another room. If they were made by Samsung they'd need built in fire-suppression systems because they'd constantly be fighting the urge to self-immolate. And forget stairs old chap; we'll need one for every floor. The ever-helpful upstairs Killer Robot, that's Maude. Our main level Killer Robot is Hudson. Our self-driving atomic-powered autonomous killer tank is Watkins. He's equipped with the optional flame-throwers for weed and child control.
... job candidates are automatically disqualified if they have ever said anything negative about Trump
I think candidates are disqualified if they haven't said how tremendously fabulous Donald is. Really the greatest president ever in the entire history of presidenty guys. Or unless they, like Putin, have proof of the secret off-shore accounts.
Idaho, with the highest proportion of cattle mutalations in the lower 48, 'cept we call it Bar-B-Q. Idaho, protecting Mormons from the ravages of Canadian beer for 153 years. Idaho state pastime: survivalist rumors. State motto: more further wester than Montana. To paraphrase U Utah Phillips who probably wasn't the first to say it: Idaho; where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.
I'm going to get a MIT degree in spoon-bending with minors in telepathy and time-travel. Now if you'll excuse me I've to to refuel my jetpack and get to my job on building the wall.
Agreed. I have several including this glorious OmniKey Ultra. I love a keyboard with the frickin CONTROL key where God intended it to be. What I really need is a way to connect the ancient 5-pin DIN to something more recent.

With concentrated solar it'd have to cover an area equal to that of Texas.
What do you mean by "concentrated solar"? Something with curved mirrors or fresnel lenses or something?
