You don't need electronics for that, just corner-cube reflectors.

Red Dwarf did it better.

I'd expect 2 small pieces to weigh more than 1 big one.

So I'd expect you to see the weight go up faster than the part count.

Not sure if that would confound or exagerate the trend.

Presumably the new ones use an e-sim instead of a physical one.

I was particularly impressed by the clear explanations in 'statistical physics for babies'.

Isn't that covered in the 7th paragraph?

'the red to green wavelengths are dispersed with the same tendencies as glass, but the green to blue wavelengths are dispersed more than glass. Using a convex fluorite lens element alongside a high-dispersion glass concave lens element therefore eliminates residual chromatic aberration'

There's a minimum size of vehicle you can mount a gun on. The mount needs to absorb the recoil without breaking or getting pushed around too much.

The Swiss have been experimenting with recoilless chain-guns to try and reduce that footprint. Which might be interesting, but recoilless weapons are extremely unpleasant to be near due to the backblast. It still might make sense to mount such a weapon on a remote automated station, and stick it on the roof of any available truck or APC/IFV.

The hype around hypersonic missiles is overcooked. Ballistic missiles are faster. The hypersonic's advantage is supposed to be its manoeuvrability, expecting an heavy anti-ship missile to be more agile than an interceptor is just silly.

And It'd take way more than 10 missiles to overwhelm a carrier groups air defence. The combat system on an American destroyer can track "100+" targets. The carrier group has several destroyers.

In order to overwhelm the systems, you'd be getting close to the point of exhausting their interceptors. So why even bother with the fancy missiles?

Looks like the digital trademark will be going back to FX, so unity isn't even keeping that.

Looks like they're just butted rings, so you're relying on the rididity of each ring to resist opening up.

Welded or rivited rings would be much more robust. Especially vs piercing weapons, like arrows or fighting knives.

But much more expensive.

New Zealand has a scheme (soon to expire with the change in government) for this.

Low efficiency vehicles are taxed on import, and the money raised is returned as rebates on high efficiency vehicles.

A Ford Ranger might attract the full fee, a new t Nissan leaf would get the full credit. A small ICE car attracts a smaller fee. Hybrids are given a smaller credit.

The exact amount of credit varied over time as the fees gathered changed.

There have been attempts

It doesn't have differentials at all ...

Each wheel has it's own motor.

Load balancer? Cluster coordinator? STONITH device

I've certainly done that in the past, but not since I changed jobs ... 7 years ago. Probably not for several years before then.

Standardised names and codes for every disease, injury, condition, diagnostic process or tool, medication and treatment.

Standardised workflows for entering diagnoses and treatments. Automated warnings when a treatment might be inappropriate, or drugs might interact.

The problem space is enormous.

This approach can be a little problematic.

I'm particular, communications between the airline and tsa aren't all that reliable.

See for example:

I always liked how Redmine has a tree of projects, rather than just a list.

Those are country code TLDs

Combo washer/driers exist. They typically have less capacity than stand-alone units.

I got andrew tate, jordan peterson, and 'stopwoke'

I built a new desktop last week. One of the first things I did once windows was installed was go through the start menu uninstalling things. Including tiktok.

Given how many people seem to have trouble correcting errors in the records, I have to wonder what the threshold would be for just sueing them.

It seems like you could make good arguments for libel and tortious interference.

Kessler syndrome isn't magic. Space is big. Starlink satalites are small. And they're low enough thst atmospheric drag will deorbit must of the small debris very quickly.

I'm pretty sure spacex can launch starlink satalites much faster and cheaper than Russia can shoot them down.

I'm sure spacex won't want to go down that route, but it's not a good tactic for Russia.

Most reticulated gas networks use the pipe network itself as the storage facility.

eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_storage#Pipeline_c...

There may be more than a day of capacity just in the pipe network.

I think that's more of an issue with 'hidden city ticketing'/deliberately missing connections, because it's cheaper than buying a ticket to the layover location.

I think it depends on where you put the radius'd corners.

They'd be incompatible with vacuum cleaners and Roombas for example. And may pose a challenge for some types of mops.

Do the Russians have any equipment to spare?

They already repatriated an s300 battery from Syria back to Russia.

Hvdc systems still have transformers on the AC side.
