This is not really any revelation. Most big name scientists are atheists or agnostic with atheist leanings. People who live by Empirical proof concept must have peer vetted evidence. Most are open about it but don’t beat it about because they know funding comes from people of all faiths. Not to say a scientist that…

The radar setup on the main site is pretty cool. It looks like a front mount brush hog on that ATV gator. Was looking to see if it can scan faster and deeper than the 10ft range of the little cart ones you see on documentaries but it doesn’t say.

Right at least the front didn’t fall off.

This one is interesting that it is captured and released on a regular basis. Reminded me though of another story from back in 2011 when we learned that the Earth also has a “companion” in our orbit. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/423549/earth-companion-asteroid-discovered-in-horseshoe-shaped-orbit/

The Cinch has a bunch of macro buttons on the bottom that would give you an advantage over any Joe Average user. Does the ability to build a wood shield wall or ramp fort in a fraction of a second to get you out of an ambush give you an unfair advantage? PC gamers do the same so isn’t this cheating or an unfair…

yeah mil spec hardware is heavily regulated in the states. US built hardware sold to allies even has key items stripped off of them. all sales have to be approved by the gov’t. In theory, no independent buyers are allowed and unfriendly types can’t get approval to buy. When old hardware is sold to civilians (with…

It’s only technically “civillian.”  This is the military machine, but it was registered and flown by the manufacturer. A public demo that sells their product. They could have crated the drone and flown it cheap and quick but this way they get buyers attention.  You got the money you can get your sharks but you have to…

I have tried it and gotten top 3 more than 14 times now and #2 about 4 or 5 of those. Problem is when the numbers get low, if you don’t get lucky on your hiding spots they will find you. I think it can be done just needs finesse on the last opponent. Maybe they get knocked bad on the shootout with #3 guy and you can…

They experiment with different modes all the time. I would love to see a “No Build” solo and squad variant. They’ve had nearly every other combo lately

Yes If you fork over real cash they will give you levels and also the ability to do these tasks. Orrr.... You can target your landing in the more deserted places, pick up left over weapons(that duct tape AK-47 is all yours), and chop down a few trees. Make your way to the shrinking zones avoiding the storm and all…

I wont really miss dusty depot. I just wish they would do something to slow down the speed builders a bit. Nothing like getting the jump on someone only to have them wall you in in a blink before you can get a single shot off. They vault things to level the field a bit but have nothing to address this. The size of…

I’ve had several tweets that were re-tweeted by a couple celebs last year and I used the built in analytics twitter has to track what happened. On most, the “impressions” was only about 10% of the followers they had. Which I took to mean only a fraction of their accounts were active or real. “Engagements” which were…

Usually when I see the splash headlines I go over to spaceweather .com and look at the list they keep updating. If the miss distance they show is 0.0x LD (Earth to Moon distance) I take a closer look at the details on there without the hype. They also do a reverse track detail on fireballs that have been spotted.

Now if they could only integrate this app with the Oracle of Bacon so I would know how many degrees of separation I am from all these strangers. It likes to show me a lot of strangers that I have no clue who they are or where it got them from and maybe this would help.

A lot of it’s mass (approx 90%) of the Chelyabinsk meteor did go away, but I wouldn’t really call this is fragment teeny. This was the large fragment brought up from the lake in 2013 which weighed about 1,442 lbs. Total mass before breakup was believed to be around 20,000 lbs. I witnessed a small bolide breakup when I…

It’s gas, but it really is fluid dynamics

But will this mean the built in graphics on a mainstream off the shelf pc and laptops will finally be able to support casual gamers? For so many years now, you have not had the ability to play even low end graphical games on a budget friendly machine. For laptops, it is pay the hefty premium for a bulky(and heavier)…

I’m just the same. My laptop is my desktop replacement and what I haul on trips for work but I like the ability to play games.  I just bought the Acer Predator Helios 300 and it’s fitting the bill nicely. It’s got an Intel i7 core and 17" display with a GTX1060 card in a form factor that is very close to my old…

On the Theta S the avg shot was just shy of 4MB depending on the detail in the photo. I’m not sure on the average movie size per minute. The movies come off in a format that the viewer app would then have to convert before you can play them. I generally pull everything off before I head out so I would have the space…

I have the Theta S version and enjoy taking a few still 360 photos while on hikes and an occasional 360 video. It’s very nice that it’s a small and light (two lenses)camera. So no heavy post production stitch work needed later. It’s a camera that I really want to love but I just can’t quite get there. Not being able…
