They've actually landed successfully on land prior, this was their first success on a ship at sea. The last attempt it landed, then tipped over when a support leg broke, so i'd guess they reinforced that or something. I'm sure they'll have a few more fireballs, but my money is on them getting the landing down consistently very soon.
When I first started SpaceX I wanted to land a booster in the ocean. Everyone said I was daft to try to land a booster in the ocean, but I built in all the same, just to show them. First time, it crashed into the ocean. So I built a second and third one. They sank into the ocean as well. So I built a fourth. That landed, fell over, then sank into the ocean. But the fifth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get folks, first stages that land on autonomous barges with weird names in the middle of the ocean.
I made a large change to my diet by not going out to eat almost at all and rarely eating frozen dinners, only to find myself going to the bathroom a lot after 1 year. My blood-work always came back perfect for sodium. Eventually I started to purposefully sprinkle a small bit of salt on salads and stuff and my bathroom issue quickly went away. My blood-work still showed identical sodium levels.
That's because your body is a lot smarter than you are. The brain, in particular, controls sodium levels closely. Salt aggrevated hypertension doesn't cause elevated sodium levels. The mechanism is actually a bit obscure. So, unless you are seriously ill or on some specific medications, you would expect the sodium to be perfectly stable no matter what your diet was.
99% of the stuff that needs to be printed does not need color.
Are you kidding? Have you ever seen a Powerpoint presentation printed in B&W? It's horrible. All of those important colored bars, dots and lines just blend into a sea of low contrast grey. It's bad enough when the data is just financial reports from a Fortune 500 company, but this is the highest level of the US government.
Just think if somebody printed out a map of the Middle East in B&W. It would be hard to differentiate borders - you might end up starting WWIII because you blew up the wrong country.
No, color in this case is cheap. The world has too many shades of grey as it is.
All you had to do is look at Roosevelt and figure out he was pretty ill. If doctors could establish your health status from excrement, you would be mailing a bag of shit to your insurance company instead of the company giving you shit all of the time because you are trying to spend their precious money.
We don't need anything to make Daraprim. We just have to get the FDA out of the 19th century and understand that the REST OF THE WORLD can manufacture perfectly fine chemicals. Even places like Columbia and Afghanistan. It's not hard.
It's always been pretty damned obvious. "Hey, we've got all this technology and a camera hooked together. It would make a great stabilized selfie stick".
Unless DJI did it in some non obvious fashion that is made clear in the patent, this is just another bullshit 'idea' patent.
Sure, if said government officials will hand over the phone to be disassembled. Recall that this particular hack is likely NAND mirroring. That requires removing the CPU. Not something you would tend to do in bulk.

I suppose that is something of an improvement from $*Y&%(*&$***** CARRIER LOST
I thought Sony had trademarked that.

Hopefully they are not putting a pacemaker, or any remotely similar circuit, in this device.

Old analog tech sometimes has advantages. Why do you think the Navy still requires sailors to learn to navigate with a sextant?
Time travel.
Hopefully it's not all off-the-shelf stuff that's potentially riddled with Chinese back-doors and leaks classified information like a sieve.
No, they are riddled with American back doors. Much better.
I can't wait until Slashdot gets Unicode. Imagine the possibilities.

Of course, they are only in it for the buzz.
Like holographic storage soonish?
Or fusion power soonish?

It's like sending a 3D printer on a camping trip instead of a box of plastic cutlery.
You say this like it's a problem.
What kind of "outbreak" would require any of those medications: Valium, Prozac, Benadryl, and Lidocaine ???
Anything causing massive anxiety, depression, cardiac arrhythmias and allergies.
We have those problems all of the time. Don't you?
Ah yes, Lake Slashdot. Where everyone is 2 standard deviations above the mean.
And that will be the day that I die. In the meantime, I choose to be fit and ailment-free.
See that bus?
Yeah! It your fault you were raped! Great response idiot
Best WHOOSH ever!
While you're at it, see if you can get Unicode to work.
Oh, and editing a post.
Sorry, April 1 was yesterday....
I think Slashdot needs some tuning on how to respond to a depressed person.'
Group hug!
And the 'modular' part? What part of that isn't obvious and / or coated with prior art?
It's always been pretty damned obvious. "Hey, we've got all this technology and a camera hooked together. It would make a great stabilized selfie stick".

I always wonder about stories here.
So, you think the national speed limit should be 35 mph?
That would save lots of lives.
Or making cigarettes and alcohol completely illegal.
Again, life is precious, gotta save every last one of them.
