Uhh, this is in Texas?

I took “beyond reasonable” to mean “anybody with two brain cells would think it’s reasonable.” but they were still somehow rejected by the studios.

You have to include the production of the hydrogen, which, unless they are doing solar powered electrolysis, probably involves fossil fuels. NASA uses steam reforming using natural gas to make H2, which has CO2 as a byproduct.

I’m surprised they don’t design a camera with a fourth sensor color, either near UV or near IR, to take a key light from outside the visual range.

Maybe patents. Maybe also post production workflow. But there may still be times when one way works and the other doesn’t.

This doesn’t use a pure violet wavelength. It uses red and blue LEDs, to match the characteristics of the digital camera.

Oh sorry, I must have remembered photos from before that. Out of the greys!

White Sands was never a primary landing site. It was only used once, and that was by Columbia STS-3, due to flooding at Edwards.

I’m sorry Houston lost out, but very glad we got one on the west coast. Los Angeles was heavily involved in building the shuttles, and they had a lot of landings at Edwards. Maybe New York should have been skipped. (They don’t even cover theirs from the weather!) There just weren’t enough surviving shuttles to go

So worst case scenario is about 3 BED: Banana Equivalent Dose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose

They are not insiders if they didn’t know the cost exceeded the retail.

Math. At the time, people were starting to get pretty good measurements of the speed of light, but they expected it to be faster in some directions than others, either due to the Earth’s movement, or to movement of the “aether” they theorized. Einstein had the brilliance to find a formula which matched observation, by

The existence is not top secret, but the technical capability of the system surely is.

How bulletproof are their waivers?

The money is not sitting at the bottom of the ocean. It was spent to pay the people who put the sub together. Still a waste of resources, but the money is not gone.

The distance uncertainty is larger than the observation uncertainty. We know when the event was observed. We don’t know when it happened. It could be anything between 500 and 640 years ago. It still makes sense to record the time of the observation.

Perhaps, but Facebook, Youtube and Twitter seem to have a good handle on (mostly) algorithmically preventing NSFW content from surfacing with advertising. Advertisers do want views, but some of them can be extremely adverse to being associated with certain kinds of content. Up to now Reddit has relied on humans to do

The question is what the general users will see when the mods are unable to use any tools to simplify their task of weeding out spam, nsfw, cp, or other undesirable content. Unless they have some other plan to moderate that, or are able to add thousands of new mods, it could become a place unfriendly for advertisers.

The complaint was not about being free or paid. It’s the amount they are requiring, and the timeline. Reddit told Apollo that the API would NOT be changing for several years, as recently as January of this year. Then they get 30 days notice that the price will be 20 times higher than other social media APIs. They

Plenty of people might jump at the chance to be a Napoleon of a brand new little fiefdom, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be good mods.
