...well I was going to say apples with oranges but it doesn't suit this site. They both negatively affect you, some people have a higher threshold for alcohol, some people have spare cycles to spare while doing multiple complex things. At the end of the day if you see someone weaving and jerking on the road then they are obviously over their limit and ability to drive safely and should be pulled up and straightened out.
Give Amazon Alexa/Google Home a camera as well so that it can lip read as far as I'm concerned. We humans are, on the whole, screwing the planet anyway. I suspect a more advanced civilisation might do better.
GPS can also calculate altitude so couldn't they integrate the 3 speed vectors (normally we just see 2 ignoring altitude, no?) and present the ascent/decent data as another input (maybe weighted down). The same can be done with the air speed indicator. I am not saying I want to primarily rely on GPS but it does present some data that may be of use. Indeed when there is a highlighted anomaly it may even help indicate GPS spoofing if nothing else.
...though having a viewport into the net is also something that all governments want to keep. We're all expecting naughtiness on the internet and are practicing "safe sex" though eh?
Nice implementation in theory, moving parts are always a problem and dust / crud / moisture will collect in there... maybe it has a full tough gel skin that I can't see, that would allay my fears of infiltration...
From my 10,000' view... (well actually 10,000km, I'm in New Zealand)...
China does seem to be moving forwards and advancing technologically much faster that America and has the resources to do what Elon wants. China on the moon... China and their Tesla equiv... China and solar...
America, especially at the moment with their current leader, seems to be going backwards with Elon the only real light shining out of that country... America does have big clubs to beat every one else about the head with though...
Headline: "Country the first to put a man on Mars..." Yup, China would go for that... And I suspect China (and Elon) would be happy to leave Elon there with his packet of seeds too once the goal was achieved...
I suspect that it's a ploy to dissuade buying electric by presenting a "Electric car owners will be bullied" sentiment. I have no doubt it's orchestrated as I am sure the drivers or the utes have better things to do really.
The inevitable EV revolution is being attacked on many fronts.
Electric, compared to turboprop/jet, should be very low maintenance. This will also be a huge win for short-haul flights like these.
Google: How often do planes get inspected?
A check. This is performed approximately every 400-600 flight hours or 200–300 cycles (takeoff and landing is considered an aircraft "cycle"), depending on aircraft type. It needs about 50-70 man-hours and is usually on the ground in a hangar for a minimum of 10 hours.
<quote> Some pre-glacial channels were seen below the ice sheet at the site of the crater, which suggests the Greenland Ice Sheet was already in place when the asteroid struck. The exact timing of the asteroid strike, however, is fairly vague, with the researchers saying it happened between 3 million and 12,000 years ago. But preliminary evidence suggests it happened relatively recently. The crater appears to be well-preserved—a surprising observation given that ice is a powerful erosive force. The crater is likely fairly young from a geological perspective.
“It is correct that the crater is not well dated but there’s good evidence that it is geologically young, that is, it formed within the last 2 to 3 million years, and most likely it is as young as the last Ice Age [which ended around 12,000 years ago],” Larsen explained to Gizmodo. “We are currently trying to come up with ideas on how to date the impact. One idea is to drill through the ice and get bedrock samples that can be used for numerical dating.” <unquote>

...Falcon Heavy's core seems to like the drink me thinks... Irrespective very well done.
Hm, I suspect the core is more engineered than the side boosters... might this affect the short-term calendar of work for FH?

Has the Maxwell Technologies gone through yet? I thought it was still being talked about...
...so don't need expansion at GF1.
Ultimately it will all be China (decade) but in the interim the high-value can come out of the US.
All IMHO of course...

It's probably a more environmentally friendly. Though amalgam, gold and titanium may want to be removed first though.

Ok, it's a Note 2 but it's still going fine... :) I reverted patches and stopped auto-updates, now maps are useable again...
Yeah, time for a new phone...
