Thanks, I saw the plot in the former book you mentioned, though the diagram is still pretty coarse (not giving specific techs), and it doesn't unfortunately extend the chart to future or theoretical technologies.
This kind of diagram summarizes perfectly why we can't (yet) create a brilliant, compact, and efficient rocket, so I expected a few more about.
You're probably a good candidate for answering this. Why doesn't a decent Ragone chart exists for rocket propulsion? I looked for ages in Google, an only found a few diagrams. It'd be amazing to see where new propulsion technologies fit on a single unified graph.
I propose increasing the number of squares to double or quadruple to drastically reduce the number of draws and discourage opening 'book knowledge' over pure brainpower. As a side effect, we may even bew able to beat the top computers gain. I wrote about such a topic on Reddit here: http://www.reddit.com/r/chess/...
It doesn't have to be an amalgamation of existing languages, but yeah, me saying 'unified' may indicate it takes the best elements from each one, which is an interesting idea, but not completely necessary.
What do you think about the advantages of a unified universal language (whether English, Esperanto, Spanish, Korean, or some other language)? Wouldn't that help everyone communicate more easily with each other?
Honestly, it's insane how ludicrously powerful phones are getting. I meant take this one article for example - 4K 120fps slow-motion video recording is coming to smartphones in 2016.
Combine this with flexible batteries (or at least very high-energy ones, and we have clothes which can heat themselves! Imagine a sock or vest which can keep you warm for a number of hours if need be.
I'm sorry guys - this is a little OTT, and a trillion miles away from subtle or funny. You want a proper April fools? Try the one I saw at a subreddit within Reddit: https://twitter.com/TeslaMotor...
With an infinitely powerful battery, could we make an ion engine (or other sort of engine that is much more efficient than chemical-based) that could escape Earth's gravity?

Yes, the brackets are:
"Elon Musk Bailed Out of ($6bn Google Takeover To Save Tesla From 2013 Bankruptcy)" rather than:
"(Elon Musk Bailed Out of $6bn Google Takeover) To Save Tesla From 2013 Bankruptcy"
A better headline would be: "Elon Musk bailed out of $6bn Google Takeover, despite teetering on the edge of bankruptcy".
Along with the music, graphics helps a little.
However, I often find 3D makes a game worse.
Yes I meant specific impulse vs thrust.

In terms of rockets. there's a trade off between fuel efficiency per kg and thrust per kg (similar to power versus energy for batteries).
So where does the technology fit on this Ragone chart?
Wow, so much effort put into the resolution, and almost none put into the latency of the device. How sad.
Why not a thorium reactor instead?

Go has various board sizes. Why not chess?

4K videoing at 120fps?! From a smartphone?
Isn't progress wonderful.
That's because they're investing the profits into an even bigger success in the future.

This is why Tesla is so successful. The boss who runs it is himself an engineer.
Life is not for the lazy, but quality of life may just well be.

Er, when you say "clearing".....?
[fearing the worst].
I'm sure this has hundreds of uses!
Such as erm...... uh....... well... bonfire lighter! Er, and you know.......... other things!
Now this on the other hand....
Wow, I got 5, funny? Haha, I was being serious - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
About Clarkson: "He can be very funny and irreverent".
Actually Elon liked Jeremy's humour in Top Gear.
I'm probably a bigger fan of Tesla than you are, but watch this if you think he's against EVs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Great, just need Autobahn-esque speeds to make the journey in less than 5 days!
And then we come to the subject of stomach bacteria.
Have the right kind of bacteria (for example, via a rectal transplant), and usually fat people can be thin easily too.
Father Ted had the spider baby, so I wonder if that was related in any way.
