I am sure that would be a very clever and apt comment, if I could make *any* sense out of it.
Near as I can tell, you advocate censorship. Who decides what is acceptable and not? Here on slashdot, its the mods, who mod everything to the right of Mao Tse Tung and Castro into oblivion.
Slashdot is far and away the most repressive leftist forum I have ever seen, with mods absusing their power to censor literally anything but the hard-left party line.
Inertial sensing gyros, in the year 2016, *are not gimballed*. Almost every available unit for the last 30 years has been a strapdown system. where the gyros remain fixed to the body (and are controlled by a rebalance system to keep it that way), output a delta-angle, which is then integrated to determine the attitude.
The very worst thing about leftists is their unwarranted and highly-practiced smug sense of superiority. People believe that being liberal marks them as more intelligent - when in reality liberal ideas are stupid, fail in every single case. And the solution is alway to *double down*.
And, of course, the reason manufacturing jobs are fleeing overseas is because crippling taxation and regulation - hallmarks of the liberal agenda - make the cost of employment grossly excessive. San Fransicso just raised the minimum wage - AGAIN - and thus increased the speed of the death spiral. And you idiots are all clapping yourselves on the back for it. Enjoy people crapping in the streets!
The problem with methane, or even worse, liquid hydrogen, is that while the energy content per pound is good, the energy content per unit volume it terrible. That means very large fuel tanks, meaning more drag and more airframe mass, which leads you to making the wings bigger, which leads to you needing and even bigger tank, which leads to more drag, etc. Liquid hydrogen is one of the worst fuels imaginable for an airplane.
Liquid hydrogen is only about 4.4 lbs/ cu ft and lerosene is something like 55 lb/cu ft. You simply can't make the airplane big enough.
All that headline leave out is the exclamation mark at the end. Why is it that we have to express such astonishment over the fact that a *black woman" (OMG!) calculated trajectories.
Or is this less about this competent mathemetician's imopressive accomplishments, or it is to, yet again, wring our little hands over the injustice of modern society and how terrible we should all feel about how bad we are?
Art is about creating an emotional response in the viewer *regardless of the intent*. In fact many times art (literature in particular) evokes an emotional response entirely different from the intent or when there was no intent at all.
You mean that stealing money from 1/2 the population, taking a 90-95% "skim" for "administrating the program" and then just counting on it to work is a bad economic plan? Someone should tell Bernie that, he's promising free everything.
It's a function of people always having to have someone to blame for misfortune. It's a failing of current human society, whether general loss of religious faith (it's God's will") or the inability to accept the basic laws of statistics, everything that goes wrong has to be attributable to something you can go after. For vaccines, it's seen more that way, because they come from a big, supposedly evil and self-serving, faceless corporation.
Because vaccination has been so successful, people have lost their fear of the original diseases. I can remember a time when if some kid got the sniffles in June, there was a realistic chance that he was going to end up living in an iron lung the rest of his life.
Social Justice Warriors, activate! We won't teach anyone computing or logic - be we will indoctrinate them to apply every possible micro-inequity and micro-aggression.
This is the same foolish strategy that doomed a lot of other companies - HP being a good example. Apple shouldn't and probably can't compete in the lowest-common-denominator commodity tablet race. This is also very-low-profit-margin end of the scale. HP did that and more-or-less self destructed.
Who are you going to believe, actual working engineers, or some guy who has seen "Empire" 47 times? Those guys in ID4 engineered a virus including a mocking graphic in about an hour and a half, and that was 15 years ago? Damn negative nellies!
And I am not sure what evidence anyone has for his "fine legal mind". As far as I can tell, he lies, threatens and bullies people to get his way, daring people to oppose him, then claiming all sorts of persecution. He has repeatedly referred to use of violence ("if they bring a knife, you bring a gun", "get in their face") . He has publicly lamented that there is a constitution that seems to limit his powers.
The man is an *activist*, period, He says or does whatever he wants to get his way, legal or otherwise. And the vast majority of the press goes along with it, and doesn't call him on it, because they want the same thing.
Make no mistake, in his mind, "the end justifies the means". In this case it's particularly disingenuous, because he doesn't care one whit about solving this case or stopping further terrorism by the usual suspects. He's using this case to bully a company into giving him unfettered surveillance for *everyone*, terrorist threat or not.
Unable to achieve 100% intercept rate with SDI was not a "big issue". It was hyped as a big issue by people wanting to discredit the effort, mostly by smart-ass journalists and other ivy-league "intellectual" types to mock Reagan and make him seem like an imbecile. Achieving even a 10% intercept rate would be materially useful and save millions of lives, 50% tens of millions, and 75% a few hundred million.
That's what they were mocking - a man trying to save American lives. In the end, he ended up more-or-less ending the threat of world destruction from the Cold war.
That's what the whole point of the IoT. If you are going to control your lights or toaster or whatever with your phone, OF COURSE it has to connect to an external server - so that you can connect to the device. Naturally, it's stupid, but that's the IoT for you.
I would think it would still be useful with other, more realizable power generation methods. I suggest harnessing the power of unicorn farts as a stop-gap measure.

Which article of or amendement to the Constitution puts the president in charge of student loan payments?
Riiight, another blinding insight from the resident genius.
You provide a hallmark example of presuming you are intelligent because you're a lefty nutcase, and the nuttier you get the smarter you think you are.

Particularly in this case, since two reaction wheels have previously failed.

Not at all. Kerosene is a very good fuel.
The problem with methane, or even worse, liquid hydrogen, is that while the energy content per pound is good, the energy content per unit volume it terrible.

The latter, I think

No emotions in the artist are required.
Wo. After watching the pulse jet video, I have to say that's one of the most annoying people I have ever seen.
You mean that stealing money from 1/2 the population, taking a 90-95% "skim" for "administrating the program" and then just counting on it to work is a bad economic plan? Someone should tell Bernie that, he's promising free everything.
"Billions who will suffer"? This sort of histrionic exaggeration is why no one takes you seriously.
SPECTRUM are the good guys in Captain Scarlett. They used the phrase "SIG" to indicate that "Spectrum is green"

Stop anthropomorphizing prime numbers. They hate that!
Obama is not a constitutional lawyer. He edited the Harvard Law review but contributed no articles and had no profile or discernible influence.
Don't forget our favorite - racist.
You are far from the first, many of us have beat you to that one. *Anyone* who didn't see this coming 8 years ago is a fool or willfully ignorant.
