All scams are based upon the principle that the victim has an amount of greed that makes him blind to facts.
Are you blaming the victim for every scam ever carried out through all of human history?
The problem is that this isn't very hard to do these days. It's pretty near impossible to prevent things that are easy to do.
The Meta device is constantly getting a stream of image frames from the camera in the glasses. Probably their device has enough compute horsepower to detect human faces, smartphones sure do.
This wasn't very hard to do 20 years ago. The Viola-Jones face detection (not recognition) algorithm was first described 25 years. I remember my pre-smartphone digit camera drawing boxes around the faces it could detect in a group photo, and letting me select who to focus on. Here's a 2007 article about it, from one month before the iPhone's launch.
"The UK Navy is already exploring the creation of a hybrid force that incorporates the widespread use of underwater drones to combat Russian threats in the Atlantic. It will run on gasoline and electricity.
In other words WW2 class sub tech, fossil fuels on the surface, recharge the batteries, battery operation below.
Older than that. The UK's first gasoline/electric submarine was launched in 1901.
Well, JWST is a US space project. Sure, it had international participation, but the US is the lead.
That's not how those words work. NASA is the project lead, that's it. It's not a US project.
While technically an international project, it sure feels American:
* NASA payed for 90% of it
* NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center managed the development
* The primary contractor was Northrop Grumman
* It's controlled from Johns Hopkins' Space Telescope Science Institute
* The ground segment uses NASA's deep space network
A good portion of the instruments were designed and/or built by ESA and CSA, and of course it was launched on an Ariane 5.
We're at 7.5 GW of storage
Tooth gnashing intensifies! That's power not storage
Indeed. I second that gnashing
The figure I got was 6.8 GW / 10.5 GWh.
I think you are both looking only at battery storage. The UK also has about 2.8 GW / 24 GWh of pumped hydro storage (with plans to add more).
Mastery of technology must infuse everything we do. Not just in our labs, but in the field, in our tradecraft, and even more importantly, in the mindset of every officer. We must be as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple languages
I'm guessing the geostationary orbit was selected to provide a location that is always visible for testing.
Just a nitpick, but the article said geosynchronous, not geostationary. Both are 24-hour orbits, but geosynchronous orbits can be inclined or elliptical, as opposed to geostationary which are circular directly over the equator. Geostationary satellites appear to be in a fixed position in the sky, but geosynchronous satellites appear to move about over a 24 hour period.
we don't experience single photons.
It doesn't really affect you argument, but under the right laboratory conditions it is possible to see a single photo.
[T]he Waymo crash rate (reported as part of the NHTSA SGO [National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - Standing General Order]) was found to be similar in magnitude to self-reported human transportation network company (TNC) crashes. It’s unclear what definition of a crash is used for the self-reported TNC crash data, and whether that TNC crash definition is well matched to the ADS [Automated Driving Systems] crashes reported as part of the NHTSA SGO. That is, there is an unknown amount of underreporting in the TNC crash data, while the ADS data from the SGO includes any amount of property damage with little to no underreporting. TNC drivers may have incentives to not report low severity collisions, as reported collisions may lead to deactivation from the platform.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
