Meaningful Earth observation from space is done with cameras that take up more physical space than a cubesat.
They don't use cameras. They use GPS antennas, as stated in the summary, and explained in the article.
The last I looked, the state of remote-sensing algorithms for limb profiling is something between bad and "are you kidding?".
But they are not doing much "remote sensing". All they are doing is recording when a GPS signal is received. That's it. That shouldn't be too hard. The delay between when the GPS should have been received, and was actually received, will tell them the index of refraction of the atmospheric cord it passed through, and from that, a ground computer can calculate the humidity, temperature, and pressure.
I always thought it was anonymized through aggregation.
Aggregation is not very useful. Much more useful is being able to look for relationships between purchases by the same user. Years ago department stores would have an "accessories" section. Then Wal-Mart crunched their data, and figured out that people don't shop for accessories randomly. They buy a belt when they are buying pants. They buy a necktie when they are buying shirts. So today, the belts are placed by the pants, and the neckties are placed by the shirts. This seems kind of obvious in hindsight, but it took data analysis to make it happen.
If a woman stops buying condoms and starts buying vitamin supplements, that means you should showing her popup ads for maternity clothes. Nine months later, you can show her a different brand of condom, with ads than emphasize reliability.
As one who got tired of high fees, I dropped the use of credit/debit cards.
What? Debit cards don't have fees. Credit cards are usually available with no fee, or with benefits (such as airline miles) that more than compensate for the fee. There may be good reasons to not use credit/debit cards, but "high fees" is not one of them.
Do we really have to wait that long?
We did consider a model where the GPU is hanging on the side off a Thunderbolt cable, but our test group preferred the integrated one.
I still wonder if we made the right choice, though -- the bag-on-the-side would really have differentiated our product from the rest.
This is the form factor the 13' Macbook Pro should be.
More like a Mackbook - not exactly carry-on luggage for your daily commute.
The issue as I'm sure you know isn't "opened", but rather "opened within a certain length of time." Obviously given unlimited time you can get into anything, and you probably can get into an ATM a lot faster than a decent safe. But once you have the explosion routine down pat, you can probably be away with the ATM money in *seconds*. In terms of practicality and low risk, that's hard to beat.
S-F6 is 6x heavier than normal air.
Pure nitrogen is not anywhere near that level of disparity.
Pure nitrogen is a little lighter than air (not that it makes much difference here).
What about CO2?
It's only about 2/3 heavier than air, but easy to get ahold of and safe.
CO2 is not safe. 1% CO2 can cause drowsiness. 2% can cause loss of consciousness. 5-10% can kill, even in the presence of sufficient oxygen.
*bites lip* Oh, keep talking nerdy to me.
Time to "dust off" the old "server", I presume?
