Weyl Fermions are the next 'big thing' in electronics.
+1 Too Funny! The Southern streaming services, that is.
I already commented so I can't give you "+1 Right on Target". What an awful singer!
It's about sound quality. I don't need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution.
Neil Young complaining about sound quality??? Neil Young, one of the worst-sounding singers on the planet??? Please.
I agree with your points - they're all well-reasoned.
What I haven't seen mentioned is the case where the drone arrives first and it's video shows the dispatchers that the fire is much larger/more involved than first reported so the dispatcher can roll additional equipment to the scene while the original trucks are still en route. That would be a major plus for having the drones.
Similarly, if the drone finds that the original report of a massive fire is more like a tiny shed on fire, they could cancel some of the equipment en route, freeing it up for other calls.
Another case: A train derailment or tractor-trailer accident. Much of the cargo carried in tank cars is in some way hazardous, and it would be very handy if a drone could show the dispatcher what placard numbers* are involved so that they can coordinate cordoning off the area and possibly evacuating residents. It would also help in making sure you have the right firefighting chemicals around - lots of hazardous stuff requires foam to extinguish and reacts rather violently with good old H2O.
*If you've never read the Emergency Response Guide, you should. Some of the nasty stuff that's hurtling down the highway next to you is very dangerous and/or toxic. It's eye-opening, to say the least.
The old L-1011 already went to 11!
Wait, the infamous bus incident happened in 1955.
That's ok, no one remembers when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, either.
You and the Flying Purple People-Eater. Oh wait, he's one eyed, one horned. - NVM.
That's Qwghlm. Did you mean Inner- or Outer Qwghlm?
We'll all scurry to the low bands where night-time groundwave propagation will still work. If the solar output drops enough, we might be able to use the low bands during the day if the lowered solar output doesn't ionize that pesky D-Layer.
Good point - I'm used to flat Caribbean islands, not mountainous Pacific Islands.
Their timeline has some serious NaN math errors - I hope they're not NASA errors: "New Horizons is taking 2 images of Kerberos with LORRI from NaN km away."
And before someone mentions it, the link is not necessarily single-hop:
HOLY MACRO!
