When sound waves of nearly equal frequencies interfere we hear a beat frequency which is the difference between the two frequencies. We could create two sound waves in beyond audible range but produce beat frequencies in audible range. We could send these two sound beams and people on their individual paths would not hear anything. But where these two beams intersect, the beat frequency sound would be heard by those in that area.
Can we think of doing something in light waves, two lasers in beyond visible range, but they interfere with beat frequency in visible range. So the intersection point would have a visible spot. We would only see it if there is dust or something that would scatter the visible light produced there due to interference. And if it is possible to move the interference location by scanning we might be able to project a visible 3D image.
I obviously don't have either the math, or the physics or the electronic skills to do it. In fact I am not even sure it is a viable idea. Wondering if people have tried to use interference between sound waves for such interesting applications?
VW electric vehicles would compete with Tesla electric vehicles, still Musk seems to be asking for more competition. It reminds me of the old "Soup is Good Food" campaign by Campbells. By promoting all soups, including their competitors, Campbell got the "good guy" image and it also benefitted because it had the largest share in the soup market.
Greater acceptance and availability of electric vehicles and the growth of electric vehicle market segment would benefit Musk, and it also adds to hi good guy image. It is quite possible Musk appears to be a good guy is because he *is* actually a good guy.
The PSLV C-29 seems to be having four strap on boosters according to the picture. I did not notice it did not have all the six strap ons in the picture, thanks for pointing out.
Of the six satellites, TeLEOS-1 is the primary satellite weighing 400 kg whereas the other five satellites include two micro-satellites and three nano-satellites. TeLEOS-1 is the first Singapore commercial earth observation satellite. It will be launched into a low Earth orbit for "remote sensing" applications. Antrix Corporation Ltd, the commercial arm of ISRO, has provided launch services in PSLV for 51 customer satellites from 20 countries so far.
It is an impressive feat no doubt. Also it tested its fourth stage liquid fuel rocket motor with start-stop capability. But as launch vehicles go it is definitely on the low end, with a 400Kg to 500Kg payload at 550 Km orbit. It is not a polar orbit or sun synchronous orbit. Looks like a plain vanilla orbit.
India is not really interested in a full fledged ICBM capability. Its enemies are local. It can probably deliver a 1000 Kg payload on Beijing or Shanghai. Or a 2000 Kg payload at Islamabad. That is all the capability it wants and it demonstrates. India is probably deliberately staying away from any capability to attack US mainland. It should not have to worry. It does not have oil. So it is in no danger of being invaded by USA;-)
... if there are computers trying to understand what makes them work... Is there some computer out there that is pondering the question are humans capable of intelligent thought...
My theory is the shell steel, plastic and glass shell of the car body is actually made up of meta materials that are actually worm holes to a different universe. All nice people who are polite to a fault somehow get transported out of this universe and a body double from some alternate universe takes their place in the car once they get in.
Typical incident, I want to get out the bus at the same time someone else also tries to get out. "Oh! I am sorry, please go ahead!", "no, its my fault, *I* am sorry, you go ahead", "after you.." , "OK thanks...". We walk to the park-and-ride lot, drive out and at some loop inside the parking lot some car cuts ahead of me, horns blare and the driver is flipping the bird at me. Wait, it is that same polite gentleman who insisted on waiting his turn to swipe the bus pass at the RFID device.
What happened? The only rational explanation is that the polite guy has been transported to some other universe. And some heartless cruel changeling scrap dealer from Jakku who exploits scavengers has come in and transmorgified into that polite gentleman's form.
1. All autonomous motor vehicles must be preceded by a human drive motor vehicle, carrying a flag
2. At every cross road the pilot vehicle and the autonomous vehicle should come to a complete stop and the pilot vehicle should light a fire cracker to warn other motorists
3. False fronts and covers must be fitted to the autonomous vehicle so that it does not cause fear or cause frighten human drivers .
It is very much possible many users of Mongodb are not even aware that they are Mongodb users. And also many users of these websites might not know that their web site is using Mongodb unbeknownst to even the web site owners.
There are so many people with very little internet skills own domains and basically hire someone to build their site. I recently registered a domain and I am being swamped by solicitations to "the new small business owner" about "making a great website to sell your product" with "search engine optimization" and "customer support data base" blah blah blah. Frankly even their email skills are fishy and I am sure they will jury-rig some solution. If they change the default installation to make it less secure, it definitely looks like someone managing something for someone else where convenience overrides security.
They have to modify the motto "DOS ain't done till Lotus won't run" a little. But eventually there will enough slack and bugs in API that only the Phillips bulbs know how to work around, and the competitors will just wither on the vine.
The zoning board meetings are where the NIMBYs and BANANAs rule the roost. Someone turned over the rock and all these creepy crawlies are running away on seeing daylight. Since no one ever bothers to follow these meeting they use any handy excuse they can think of. Even now other than saying "internet" is wrong, they are not denying that the used the reported reasoning to deny the zoning permit.
Because it is ISP slashdotters are paying attention. In many of the functions you mentioned, privatization is well underway.
Private companies, when there is good competition deliver products and services efficiently. Private companies, without competition due to monopoly status awarded by utility commissions, or the ones with access to tax revenue produce the worst service one can imagine.
It just means the municipality did not raise enough money to offer the ISP barons. It is not the 18th century buddy, unless they raise 100 million dollars they would not even get the time of the day from the ISP barons.
The real American tradition is for the municipalities to tax the local citizens and give that money to large private companies to build "infrastructure" that will bring great economic growth to the communities. That is how the canal companies got their money those days. George Washington lobbied the federal government to fund a canal through the Cumberland Gap to connect the Mon valley to the Chesapeake Bay. His group of "investors" had claimed square miles of land in the Mon valley hoping to make a killing once the canal got built. That canal was never built but many other canals, notably the Erie Canal, was built by local taxes given to canal barons.
Then came the railroads. The canal companies lobbied heavily to keep railroads out of the canal towns. Even today you can see quaint little towns along the Erie canal that successfully kept the railroads out. They, and their canals, went bust and economic growth by passed them. But municipalities courted the railroads like gangbusters. All levels of the government local, state and federal shoveled money to private companies to build railroads, large land grants. So much of land was given to railroads they actually acted as a catalyst to immigration and populating the Great Plains. They gave away 40 acres of land to immigrants from Europe if they would buy train tickets from New York to Nebraska! Well, history repeated. Railway towns like Altoona, PA actively fought to keep the Interstate high ways away from them!
So in the great American tradition, the municipalities should tax their local population, collect all the money and lay it at the feet of Internet barons in New York and beg them to build a fiber optic network for their poor little towns. These companies would spend a dime per dollar to build the network for the towns and skim off the rest. That is the American tradition.
Municipality building its own network! bah! What would happen next? Municipalities to have their own fleet of trucks to remove snow? Or do their own garbage collection fleets? Or run school districts? We need to put an end to all these un American activities. The only real role for municipalities, or any government, is to tax the population and give the money to private companies, with no bid contracts, and to beg them to provide basic services, after taking their cut of 40 to 60% for profits.
When you move, if you find a carton from the previous move unopened, discard it without opening. Follow the same rule and throw away the old emails. There is nothing of value in it.
Looks like you are saying "FAA requires airplanes to isolate flight critical info network from other less critical networks like the entertainment system. Boeing wanted a waiver to mix the traffic."
Is my understanding correct? Did FAA give Boeing the waiver it sought? Did Boeing take advantage of this waiver and mixed the traffic?
78 nautical miles is almost 10 minutes at cruise speed for 787. It can't be simple network delay or latency. It has to be some severe buffer overflow underflow issue with some subsystem rebooting and reacquiring its sane initial states. In the mean time it keeps reporting an guestimate or last known sane value? A critical navigation subsystem can't take 10 minutes to reboot. It could take several attempts to acquire a sane trustable initial value for the inertial navigation computers from GPS, at cruise speed. That could take 10 minutes. There was one crash where the aircraft had to stay still on the ground when the nav system is initialized. And the pilot commenced taxiing too soon, before the initialization was complete and it led to the plane flying into a mountain because it got its location wrong.
So, you'd be Ok with Congress deciding — collectively and through all proper procedures — to confiscate an arbitrary property or prohibit certain uses of it? Not because you hate the particular property (like firearms), but because you think, Congress can pass any law?
It is not *me* who is ok with it. In fact whether *I* agree with it or not, whether you agree with it or not does not matter. Congress can pass *any* law. If the Supreme Court does not overturn the law, that is it. It is constitutional law of the land, by definition. All you can do is to vote for legislators to change the law or elect enough people to amend the constitution.
The Supreme Court has ruled the second amendment is a personal right to own weapons. I don't like it, I don't agree with it. But it does not matter what *I* think. It is the law of the land.
And, forget Congress, are you Ok with towns banning brass-knuckles, for example? Just how would you reconcile such a position with the Bill of Rights? Do we even need a Constitution — or is it just an impediment [npr.org] — if majority's opinion is the sole source of laws, rules, and rights?
Towns can ban anything from brass-knuckles to assault weapons. Then citizens can sue, appeal if they don't like the judgement and if eventually the Supreme Court rules that the law is constitutional, yes, it would be the law. What is so difficult for you to understand this? Basic rule is, if you like brass knuckles and if your town bans it, you can not proclaim, "this is a my God given right" and proceed to own/display/intimidate people with brass knuckles. All you can do is to sue and get the courts to overturn the law.
Still your complaint is about the due process, or its lack. Fundamental right of the government (all the three branches put together) to deprive citizens of liberty or property is not under any dispute. Your property rights are limited to what We, the People, grant you through the Government, that we set up for ourselves to form a more perfect Union. It is limited to what we grant you and it is limited to what we can enforce and what we choose to enforce. You can appeal to the government if you disagree.
As far the rights granted to you by your Creator... pray for enforcement.
That is true too. Realize the rights have meanings only where there is an enforcement mechanism. The only legal enforcement mechanism is the government. That should give a point to ponder about the guys talking about starving the beast and drowning it in a bathtub.
"This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent," Scalia wrote in a 2009 dissent of the Court's order...
You aren't alone, of course, but it is rather rare to see such an idea being so highly moderated.
My idea is not new, it is centuries old. You need to start from the Leviathan, do a quick read on Monopoly on violence to understand why your stand is childish.
Right to liberty is even more fundamental than the right to property. Every one has liberty and freedom and not all have property. Still we recognize that government can incarcerate people, with just cause and after going through due process even liberty can be taken away. What makes your childish claims on your property more important? The key is just cause and due process. Your objection to property seizures without convictions is a complaint about the absence of due process.
In fact recently Scalia, darling of the right wing nutjobs, made a stunning statement that "once due process has been granted death sentence can be imposed, whether or not the condemned prisoner is actually innocent or guilty does not matter" or words to that effect.
All the rights granted by your favorite Creator will be protected by your favorite Creator. If anyone violates it, you can appeal to the Creator. All rights granted by the Government will be enforced by the Government. If anyone violates it, you can appeal to the Government, through the proper channels, police, civil courts etc. You can't imagine a right granted to you by your Creator and enforce it on your own. Because just as easily I can imagine a right to deny you the very same right you have imagined your Creator has granted you, and take action to deny it. If everyone does that law and order will break down and we will not have a civilization anymore.
So this is the real deal: Only the rights granted to you by the consensus of the society are actually your rights. Anything else, is just your imagination. We have granted you the freedom of thought. So go ahead and engage in childish fantasies.

Can we think of doing something in light waves, two lasers in beyond visible range, but they interfere with beat frequency in visible range. So the intersection point would have a visible spot. We would only see it if there is dust or something that would scatter the visible light produced there due to interference. And if it is possible to move the interference location by scanning we might be able to project a visible 3D image.
I obviously don't have either the math, or the physics or the electronic skills to do it. In fact I am not even sure it is a viable idea. Wondering if people have tried to use interference between sound waves for such interesting applications?

ISRO is using its trusted workhorse PSLV which is on its 32nd flight in 'core-alone' configuration without the use of solid strap-on motors.
But the press release says it is a core alone configuration. Very confusing.
