In various industries, colors are used to differentiate between various voltages so it's obvious whether you're working with high voltage, low voltage, etc. so you can determine the necessary precautions for whatever you're dealing with (and some will also make the connectors incompatible so you can't accidentally join high and low voltage sets of wiring). I'm not super familiar with the automotive side, but I believe they use orange for high voltage and light blue for 48v.

Mastodon is federated, so users of their instance are able to interact with the wider set of Mastodon instances, much like people with @google.com emails can interact with people with @microsoft.com emails, despite both instances being separately controlled and not open to people outside their respective companies. Not having an account on an instance, in other words, is not the same as it not being accessible.

Correct, this was the first direct-to-GEO launch, so they needed the extra dV to get there. Left nothing in the tank for a landing, so to speak.

Speaking of reference frames, I deal with quite a few for Earth-bound things, and the primary ones we use are ECEF (Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed) and ECI (Earth-Centered, Inertial), which then we will often move to a relative local frame for whatever object matters.

Is the equivalent set available for Martian Nav (MCMF/MCI, I guess), or do you have different/specialized/etc. frames based on something unique to Mars.

Standard Ebooks 4 years ago

Very cool. Also, did you add that feature just in response to my question?

As far as the download, is this equivalent to "Method 2" of downloading it via the built-in browser, so it's not in the Kindle Library and won't have a cover, (but it will still remember the reading position)?

Thanks for the support.

Raspberry PIs have had a similar thing with VC-1 and MPEG-2 decoding requiring a small fee for about a decade now. In this case, to cover the patent licensing cost so as to not add it into the base hardware, but paying a fee to unlock features resident in the hardware is not new in computing. (I realize there are likely other/older ones I'm sure, but that was the first in my mind)

Because he keeps going around saying that in public, there was a recent request for a restraining order to stop him from repeating it since it poisons the jury pool. It quoted the US District Court's ruling from 1 April of this year[0]:

"the evidentiary record demonstrated that no reasonable jury could find Musk’s tweets on August 7, 2018 accurate or not misleading. Likewise, given that Musk was intimately involved with the facts leading to that conclusion, the Court also held that he recklessly made the statements with knowledge as to their falsity"

Which is to say, a federal judge has ruled that it was inaccurate, and he knows it was inaccurate.

'Have experience starting Twitter mobs' is something I'm excited to start seeing on resumés soon. Followed by the discussion over whether that shows key leadership/organization abilities or not, a la the "Wow Raiding Guild Leader" debates of the late 2000's.

Polaris Program 4 years ago

Definitely not. For a recent example, both Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley of the first manned SpaceX Dragon crew have astronaut wives, (Megan McArthur and Karen Nyburg, respectively).

Jan Davis and Mark Lee, a married couple, both went up in 1992 on the same flight, STS-47. (I think they actually were selected prior to being married, and got married in secret during training, but I forget the exact timeline)

So, what I did for a similar use case:

-Buy domain from name cheap

-Setup email forwarding to my gmail account with namecheap

-Setup gmail to optionally send as dtparr@domain.name (I forget the steps, but I think it's under settings -> accounts)

So although the email comes to/from my custom domain, gmail is the real sender so I've not had any trouble with delivery (that I've noticed, at least)

You're not throwing the ball high enough in a car that the difference in radius from the center of the Earth makes a difference that you can detect.

For objects above the earth's surface, the radius of the 'orbit' around the center of earth increases, and thus the 'forward' component of the velocity has to increase in order to stay over the same point on the earth. If you shoot something high enough straight up, it will land to the West of the point it was launched from. (This does ignore effects of wind and such, but I believe so did your argument).
