Not sure I’m being “this critical.” But I do call BS on something if I think it is so. If you have health issues, watch the actual smog/pollen report. The only places this would be applied would be large cities with many photos... which have the actual equipment to measure the air anyway. And calm down... If you…

Yeah, blacks are so under represented in the NFL... and being black and all, he definitely feels like an outsider in this league. And clearly the public cannot come to grips with a black man playing football :-/

I guess I’m just skeptical that this will produce any useful information... I realize the idea is not to use a single photo. But trying to use ‘haze’ in a photo from a smartphone? Really? Do we know how much haze is because there is a big greasy thumb print on the lens? I understand averaging out random error with a…

“There’s room for error, of course...”

And the soundtrack...

It sounds like you should consider moving (I assume you live in the States?).

This ‘test’ tells us nothing about the level of noise unless both images were adjusted equally (article doesn’t state this). Clearly RAW is more accurate, but JPG (being lossy) can actually reduce noise (noise is usually high frequency... which tends to get lost in JPG compression).

First Tweet was at 8:39. Was this when it happened??? Was the sidewalk full of people? This is aweful!

Yes, the mirrors are cylindrical and focus light along a focal line... the pipe is on that line.

I think the storage capability of thermal solar is a key factor. And note, the mirrors degrade with dust just like PV cells do... you have to keep both clean to maintain efficiency.

Just for those who want numbers other than “huge”...

Mattel is in the business of making money. So, duh, they follow the money. Parents should be in the business of raising their children... not the toy companies.

Crystal.

You keep telling yourself that. In 10 years... heck, make that 20 years... tell me how many miles of hyperloop we have moving people around. Spoiler: it will be none (except maybe at Disney Land).

There’s no room here for that logical talk... Musk said it, so we MUST build it!

Gettin’ there:

Pretty warm, actually :-P

I was replying to the comment regarding faking the moon landing... the implication was you can ‘fake it’ by landing on the other side... so no one can photograph the landing site. My point: even if on the near side... you cannot photograph the site (it’s too small).

I bet this guy’s girlfriend gets irritated at all the time he spends doing this. Oh, wait...

You’ve just been served your 3 examples, FYI.
