“It’s associated with “Location Services” on most devices, meaning that you cannot opt out of your phone reporting the locations of surrounding Wi-Fi devices without turning off your phone’s ability to obtain its location entirely.”

You may usually know where you’re at, but maybe someone else needs to?

Except in regions where there is no access to Pu … as the article itself pointed out.

Good point on the lubricants, but given the potential profits, it’s already being worked on. https://www.nyelubricants.com/space

That it is!

10 times as much as gold

To -make-, yep. As the article pointed out, there’s a lot of Amercium in waste dumps where old smoke detectors … and anyone can make it. Five times the half-life means it can power much longer missions.

Going by ‘colour’, I’d guess that headline came from the UK. Writing them is a tricky, trippy task.

Electrics produce maximum torque at 0 rpm …

Yep, I noticed that, you’re right. And that’s near-miraculous efficiency. The maker’s website sez: “YASA also estimates that its all-important continuous power will be in the region of 350kW-400kW (469bhp-536bhp).” It also sez: "To achieve a 750kW short-term peak rating and a density of 59kW/kg … " Devi’ls in the details … The image on the ‘superblondie’ page shows A LOT of cooling built into whatever metal that is: https://supercarblondie.com/wp-content/uploads/YASA-tiny-electric-motor.webp

I think he was trying to admit he doesn’t know shit about electric motors.

Like Starbux, in its hometown.

Oh those mathers. At least scientists are humble enough to recognize that theorums about the physical world can’t be proven.

Oh noes, how could that -possibly- scale?

It was a decent summary, I was replying when you pulled it. Analog has its strengths (the first computers were analog, but electronics was much cruder 70 years ago) and it is def. a better fit for neural nets. Bound to happen.

Nice thorough commentary. The LiveScience article did a better job of describing it for people with no background in this stuff.

The original computers were analog. They were fast, but electronics was -so crude- at the time, it had to evolve a lot … and has in the last half-century.

Wonderful.

" Word will now save new documents to OneDrive by default — and that changes everything"

Wouldn’t it be great if all your docs were stored out in the cloud? Just think, you wouldn’t need a hard drive! And someone else could guard them for you, like, say, Deputy Dan. http://descope.kwwhitaker.com/wallofscience.html

Nope, and this one is NOT going to change that … can’t take all that cutesy animation and the fast-flowing babble for 2 minutes, let alone 12
