To an outside observer. I don't think it's the same in the inertial frame.
Before we call this real, we need to put one on some object in orbit, leave it in continuous operation, and use it to raise the orbit by a measurable amount large enough that there would not be argument regarding where it came from. The Space Station would be just fine. It has power for experiments that is probably sufficient and it has a continuing problem of needing to raise its orbit.
And believe me, if this raises the orbit of the Space Station they aren't going to want to disconnect it after the experiment. We spend a tremendous amount of money to get additional Delta-V to that thing, and it comes down if we don't.
Thanks!
Brian Webb isn't listing this on his Vandenberg AFB Launch Schedule yet. I think he's going to wait until someone official tells him a date.
With some optimism that might only be thousands of years rather than hundreds of Millions.
But it's only necessary for Earth to be uninhabitable for a short time to end the Human race. And that can happen due to man or nature, today. If people aren't somewhere else during that process, that's the end.
No, the founding fathers had seen some pretty bad behavior from kings and tyrants, and were people who understood the big picture.
They certainly didn't anticipate everything, but they sure as hell tried to lay the groundwork for trying to formulate how to prevent this crap.
And then people got all scared and lost their shot and decided "oh, fuck all those constitutional protections, we're scared".
The problem with the FBI is they moronically believe that if they poke holes in crypto that it would still have any value. Because they're too fucking concerned about getting this information they can't stop to think that if there are holes for them, there's holes for anybody else to use.
What the FBI et al are basically saying amounts to "everybody should leave their house unlocked in case we need to go in, and we will go 'la la la' and pretend that nobody else will do this".
The FBI are either collectively too fucking stupid, or too fucking fascist to comprehend that crypto only really works if you don't punch holes in it.
But, hey, between law enforcement hiding how often they use that Stingray thing, and the "manaul of institutional perjury" which is parallel construction -- maybe it's time we stopped treating them as anything but a corrupt organization which needs a serious culling?
Fire 'em, arrest 'em, hang 'em -- it doesn't matter. These clowns have decided the law doesn't apply to them, so they don't deserve to be treated like the good guys.
LOL, but it's two vendors
You seem to think you've scored points for your witty repartee.
In respond to you saying "yarg, teh tattoos are tech stupid because I said so", I said:
People have been tattooing for thousands of years, it's not going to stop because you don't like them.
Which is a statement of fact, not a logical fallacy. Because the world isn't going to stop getting tattooed because you complain.
Then you doubled down on the "yarg, teh tattoos are for the sux0rs". And then you idiotically accuse me of a logical fallacy.
But, hey, maybe you simply don't understand what a logical fallacy is. Or maybe you're just so convinced of your own awesome you're unaware of your own stupid.
Other than proponents saying "because it's distributed, digital, and magic" I fail to see how failing to tell your government about one source of money is going to be any different that failing to disclose another.
Other than the pixie dust and unicorn poop, what exactly keeps the government from charging you with nor reporting the money?
Bitcoin doesn't exist outside of the real world just because people who use it claim that to be the case. But it definitely carries its own reality distortion field with it.
Did you know you can't wear the Apple watch if you don't have arms?
I plan on wearing mine like a cock ring, just set it to vibrate and keep texting myself.
Think that'll void the warranty?
Wow, you have seriously just sunk as low as "I know you are but what am I".
Congratulations on reaching the bottom of erudite discussion while simultaneously being a condescending ass.
I bet your mom is proud!
Honestly though, if HP released web cameras which couldn't see black folks, I find this strangely unsurprising.
Apparently people who build these things assume everyone is the same shade of pasty white.
I'll be bangin' 18 year olds when I'm 40
You keep telling yourself that, sport. You just keep telling yourself that.
Not all tattoos are back and blue, and your opinion on the aesthetic of tattoos is just that
People have been tattooing for thousands of years, it's not going to stop because you don't like them.
You obviously don't get out much
The tramp stamp of years ago has been replaced with brightly colored new school sleeves. I wouldn't be cool and edgy if people didn't know you had it.
Honestly, if Apple didn't have some inked up folks around I'd be surprised. But chances are nobody ever thought of it as a test case.
Many people have lots of ink which can be hidden when needed
Gone are the days of the body-suit which nobody could see if you wore long sleeves.
I didn't know tattoos were a hipster thing
Then one might suggest you either live under a rock, or have no contact with tattoos.
Nowadays the kiddies with the stretched ears get their sleeves as their first tattoos, instead of getting a bunch of smaller ones first.
The sleeve tattoo is very much now a hipster thing. In some ways, so is the neck tattoo.
Hell, your average barrista seems to be required to have stretched lobes, dreads, and full sleeves
