If there are that many channels you watch regularly, what slice of the pie does each one get from your youtube subscription, a few cents?
You could possibly pick one channel you like each month and give it a one-time $5 donation, which would be equivalent to years of ad revenue from a single viewer.
Well, according to wikipedia, only between 11-15% of bird strikes result in damage to the aircraft. Apparently large birds like geese are the main danger.
I imagine a similar distribution with drone strikes, as most drones do not weigh as much as a goose, at least of those in the hands of a typical idiot (who would fly in the path of a plane).
That's why 'very high fatality chance' doesn't seem right to me, but I can't find any statistics on it.
Agreed completely. It is annoying how this is constantly brushed off by some people, especially the project contributors. We should just 'get over it'. Well I can get over it, but how can I pitch this to my boss with a straight face? Or deploy it to 500 users on company managed devices?
When the new hire is offended by the icon on their desktop that says GIMP, I should just say to them, "get over it"?
Clearly experiences in this thread vary but I just had to throw my story in as it's the same as you. I've bought two Razer mice and quickly regretted it both times. It seems like their QA can burn you if you get unlucky!
Most recently the Viper Mini: After less than two years the main button clicks became spongier and spongier until they started erroneously reporting double-clicks. The razer utility is also a piece of junk! The logitech mouse I had between these two Razers lasted nearly 10 years and was only replaced due to cosmetic wear.
I got a higher-end logitech mouse this time and they now have this 'esports configurator' which lets you set up your keybinds, sensitivity, LEDs etc, and save it to the onboard memory - no need for an always-on utility app and your settings persist on different devices!
Could hydrogen electrolysis be viable as grid or building level energy storage? Round trip efficiency is bad of course, but I (naively) wonder if it wouldn't have a lot of the downsides fuel cells have for vehicles?
You could bury a huge volume of tanks beneath new buildings and store the gas at a lower pressure than we see in hydrogen car tanks - wouldn't that make the whole system simpler and more economical?
It's definitely rigged, and even allows the owner to choose how difficult it is just like the one in the article.
Where I grew up there was two places next door to each other which both happened to have stackers. One had junky prizes like cheap earbuds, and the other had great prizes like a gameboy or mp3 player. Sure enough the later was more popular, but no one ever won. Once you got good at the game the one with the junk would 'allow' you to win pretty reliably every dozen or so attempts.
I find the idea plausible that theories regarding extraterrestrial life are unfairly dismissed within the profession. And it would be such a tragedy to miss out on real evidence of alien life just because, institutionally, scientists are not allowed to consider it.
But can we put any stock into Avi's opinion on it, given that committing to the 'Oumuamua solar sail idea has been very lucrative for him, in the way of media attention, book deals, podcast appearances etc.? It is a little ironic to talk about other scientist's egos while promoting your own book.
