Pretty cool, but I’m also not looking forward to a future where advertisement posters have audio.

Exactly. Purses are awful.

Talk to a stranger? No thanks!

Hi,

Agreed.. Jason’s comment “If we assume that this wasn’t a deliberate act of destructive insanity...” is not a good assumption. Putting the accelerator to the floor and not paying attention is essentially insanity. This person was either incapacitated, in mental or physical distress, or on drugs/alcohol. Not sure what…

Hadn’t heard of that one before; I think you might be right.

Don’t pyramid schemes usually live under the guise of of product marketing? I haven’t seen her mention any products.

Are you sure??? I already gave her my banking login info and she said she would transfer the $$$ tonight. Fingers crossed!

I’ve encountered one recently that I can’t really make heads or tails of. This girl I know from high school keeps sharing stories on facebook of her supposedly transferring loads of money to random people via some unnamed app. The stories show pictures of 5+ phones laid out on a table with various amounts of money…

Supported cities will show the accurate shape and width of roads to scale along with sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian islands among other information to help users navigate the area.

Couldn’t you really say this about any new technology? We didn’t really “need” the smart phone to be invented. It didn’t explicitly solve any one problem. Phones existed. TVs existed. MP3 players existed. Yet the smart phone has had an incredibly profound impact on our lives in how we interact with each other and the…

really could be Sony’s attempt to take Microsoft’s crown for “stupidly largest controller and console.”

Yep, I’m one of those people. It blows me away sometimes how bad people are at perceiving age just based on height. I’m a 5'6" male, and up until I was 27 or 28 I had all sorts of hilarious encounters where people thought I was a minor. Had several solicitors come up to my house and ask if my parents were home.

Get out of here with your crazy science terms!

No.

Agreed - the shuttle concept itself is great. As we’ve learned from SpaceX, reusability can be great for spaceflight. But the shuttle attempted to do reusability in the wrong order, reusing the 2nd stage and discarding the 1st. Reuse of the 2nd stage is just fundamentally much more challenging. 

Even more strange is that he’s just strolling about after the police arrive. Hit and run is a crime, last time I checked?

He gets asked that question a lot actually, and says that it’s similar loading to leaning on a table with your arms. I guess the backpack engine does most of the lifting and the arm engines are more for control.

There are some seriously cool jet pack projects going right now! One of my other favorites is the Gravity jet suit. Much more control and precision than this setup, in exchange for less power and speed.

Because it’s the proper way to write it and those sources are incorrect. Whenever we use numbers as a part of a variable name in math or science, the number is always in a subscript. Otherwise the number could easily be confused for a numerical value when writing out an equation.
