I got a little nervous twice, the first I thought the flight computer was going to scrub the launch at the last second (did anyone see the twitchy countdown numbers at the last 10 seconds? The counter incremented once or twice, it was weird).
The second was due to the LOS of the first stage at the barge, but I was pleasantly surprised when the image returned.
Actually about 120 kw would probably be sufficient to mimic our magnetic field for a space craft. Right now the ISS generates about that with its solar panels. In fact there was a patent put out in 2010 for such a device, here is a summary:
In order to provide an effective shield, the strength of the shield magnetic field at the source is preferably at least 1×104 Tesla. To obtain a boundary between the shield magnetic field and a typical solar wind background magnetic field of around 1×107 Tesla (perhaps 5×108 to 5×106 Tesla depending on the conditions of the solar wind) at a distance of up to a few hundred metres from the spacecraft a field strength of less than 0.1 Tesla at the magnetic field source will generally be sufficient. Allowing for effects of field persistence in the plasma environment, average electrical power from about 100 W to 10 kW, and more preferably from about 500 W to 5 kW may be provided by the power supply to drive the magnetic field source to generate the shield magnetic field.
I was working full time for a government contract at JSC, one month they moved our department to a room with risers that was originally a server room. While prepping the room maintence found 2 spools of a few miles worth of fiber optic cable that they didn't even know was there, and had been sitting there unused for 7 years....I think it was estimated around 100k or something ridiculous.
We selected projects that represent the breadth of environmental work we are undertaking at Apple. A broad range of teams submitted projects for an allocation of Green Bond proceeds. The Green Bond Project Review team selected projects based on the following criteria:
Alignment with eligibility criteria
Refection of our three environmental priorities
Measurability of environmental benefts
Magnitude of environmental benefts
Feasibility to track and audit project expenditure
Sounds great! is this available to any global team deemed worthy?
Nope, this money goes to apple and its own internal green projects. I.E. Apple just gave themselves 1 bn to develop money saving and "green" tech that mostly just applies to them.
I have no problem with them developing what they want with their own money....but let's call a spade a spade....this is tax evasion, pure and simple.
100 strong doesn't mean much, if its a sales heavy parasite company.
Probably every one of those devs are contractors with less than 6 months at the company....I've seen revolving door companies like that before, they are pure meat grinders. The pure essence of evil, they have no incentive to put good procedures in place or make sure backups are working because they have no incentive of existing beyond milking their current situation dry.
It seemed weak but produced a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm, several other outages occurred as well...but you don't see even a hint of it in any MSM.
This sounds like FARK when it started going downhill (I was around from the start almost). It was weird because the same site that used to have a page dedicated to boobies all the sudden started banning people left and right for misogyny. I can understand maybe putting up a guy ass and abs section or something for the ladies but removing froobies felt like it was a slap in the face to what that site was about. FARK was about no holds barred, everything is on the table comments...as long as it was funny.
After that the moderation got way out of control. No bashing (or even observations) of any group seemed allowed except for white male bashing or jewish bashing...and some thinly veiled black people bashing. The place had literally become moderated by a very pro-west coast liberal mindset (the same people "hooraying!!" venezuela back in 01-02) with a distinct hint of under the table appalachian bigotry.
No Kidding, after starting in php, then Perl, now Python you start seeing a pattern...and if you have to work on something like solaris thats posix certified its almost guaranteed when you download something from cpan its going to be fucked and you're going to have to fix a line or two in c++ which in turn might screw with some other dependency that's casting something wrong or a bogus condition is triggered...i'm seriously considering just becoming a c++ programmer and cut the middle man out....
Put your hand on that wall trooper.. Sir? I said put your hand on that wall!!/throws knife The enemy can't press a button if you disable his hand....Medic!
Typing as we speak on my originally purchased in 2012 macbook pro (101 base model) with maxed out ram and ssd upgrades. Its so bizarre...im on a 6 year old laptop that I feel no need to upgrade...
Funny you mention that, but I think the ms store actually farms out a lot of, at least movies, from 3rd party sources.
The reason I say this is recently I tried searching for "the name of the rose" (which is a great movie btw) on the itunes store and it came up blank, I did a search on the ms store and found it but it was for rental only (almost like it was found on showtime or hbo, except this was in the ms store)
They probably will eventually just make the selections look universal, i'm going to guess itunes will be entitled list available ms store titles to expand their catalog too.
I think they are banding together to defeat a common enemy on their horizon: Amazon and Netflix.
than the same claims of the 70's and 80's....you're only as good as the data you provide and the second was that OOP models to do deep learning basically plateaued always no matter how much compute power you threw at it.
The more current models for deep learning seems to scale much better, but also the sheer amount of data collection (not to mention data storage/cost) is why you are seeing people so jazzed about this.
Here is the rub though...you still need the "right kind" of data to correctly train todays deep learning models. One of the biggest mistakes I have seen people make is they train with the wrong type of data. For instance if you want to do facial recognition, so you just grab 10k random faces from snapchat...well, what if your real life image capture is much lower quality? How about race demographics? Your training your model on data that isn't indicative of real life situations, and this is why lots of startup AI fails.
but I know why most of the women in my area of expertise tend to leave the workforce....they get married and have kids. Its that simple.
This is with STEM, where if you leave regardless of gender it's going to be tough coming back because you are going to be out of date/rusty/lack of relevant experience/ ect. It's not easy to just jump back into the same programming job after 3-5 years of being out of the loop.
Not that most of the ones I know wanted to go back even after 3-5 years when the kids got old enough, some of the women I knew were pretty hard line workaholics too, but once they got the freedom of not having to work and being a mom, they completely switched attitudes and went all suzie homemaker and stay out of the market until the kids are graduated or in late high school.
For office jobs, this is why most women tend to gravitate towards jobs like sales, recruiters, accountants and office assistants, because they can pick up and go, there is literally no ramp up time for the technical skills required.
...if you have a government service that has so much eroded public support and trust to the point that no one believes anything they say about their own policies (even the potus)....then it might be time to restructure or close shop and start from scratch. There is some poison in that establishment that is going to take a wrecking ball to correct I think....
If it was so valuable to them, why was it hard to come up with some form of metric to prove its worth?
All the outrage smacks of getting caught in the act of globalisation...the funny thing is it's not just republicans and neo-cons that are dancing in the streets, I very much identified with what is now known as a libertarian...the left completely usurped the term liberal so I had to switch....
Believe me it will be a single term, he represents way too much polarization for "them" to let him win again, whatever facebook, mega corps or power brokers that are around in 2019 with vested interest in american interests...they won't let it him win a second time....they just wont. I bet you see the campaign start early too... probably as soon as the end of this year...
I see stuff like that all the time as a full stack contractor, and some places just don't understand why the code needs to be refactored or completely canned and replaced.
That's also how bad code "infects" whole projects too, the worst offenders are oddly enough System admins and network engineers trying to rapidly prototype something it seems.
Here is how it goes down, after cobbling together some code they used google to assemble.....they call it good and put it into production ASAP because the fire is under their ass and they need to get everything up and running. Later (assuming the bullet was dodged an none the wiser), new coders come in and copy paste what the "senior developers" who are now managers did...and the issue propagates from there.
And it's no different on the code side. They remix the same crap every 5 years and call it something new, or resurrect something old. I went from php web apps to perl web apps to now python and c#.. frameworks, languages.....its all the same one idiom to rule them all paradigm, instead of just using the right tools for the right job...it's all the same shit...its like living in a world where you have 10 things and millions of terms for those 10 things...but its still just those 10 things....if that makes any sense >>

ULA's major issue is that both of the parent companies are not terribly interested in competing with themselves.
