This makes me think about some of the speeches I heard in the 70s about paying farmers not to farm. I can't remember who it was, but one senator or representative said something along the line of. "I figure I'll start small. The first year I'll not plant 500 acres. The second year maybe 1000. And then just gradually work my way up". It was actually pretty funny.

I was one of those who found it extremely unreliable so mine did not get much use. I may still have unopened blank disks.

"Intel Says Employees Must Return To the Office 4 Days a Week"
The Trump administration really should go after whoever leaked this. (I'm betting they're CIA)

Lander tipping? Mooooo!

It hasn't been that long ago (early 90s) that some military aircraft still had periscope sextants and they were still being used. They were seldom used as a primary navigation device. They were mostly used in training. With a sextant and a good navigator (and the appropriate charts) you could definitely determine where you were with a surprising amount of accuracy. One of my jobs when I flew was taking the sextant shots. I always enjoyed it.

I didn't need a phone that folded in half. I think I need this one one sixth less.

Hey Microsoft, while you are at it, can you make CTRL+F 'find' instead of 'foward' in Outlook?

All of this was done. Uber could not help him. The bank could not help him. He ended up contacting his representative in congress to see if they could do anything. He felt like they didn't really understand the problem. The only thing that seems to resolve the problem is closing the credit card account entirely and then opening a whole new account. I think it is the usual problem. Companies are making money and they have little incentive to fix the problem.

This is not a Netflix issue. This is a banking issue. I have a friend who had someone charging uber eats charges to his card. He cancelled the card an got a new one and kindly the bank gave Uber the new card number and the charges started again. This is a service to the vendors by the credit card companies. My friend could not get it stopped even by going through his bank that issued the card. They just seemed to be able to nothing about it. This should be something you can opt out of.

The unmanned fighters would not have to worry about the pilot's physical limitations. So, they could handle what would be fatal G forces in turns.
But:

Just last week I watched an episode of Dogfights. One flight that was showcased was an Isreali ace (Giora Epstein) who at one time was outnumbered 10 to 1 in a dogfight (his buddies had bugged out) and was flying an airplane that was inferior to what he was fighting against. Yet, if I remember correctly, he downed 5 enemy aircraft and almost got a 6th.

1. He could see enemy planes twice as far out as they could see him.
2. He had amazing situational awareness.
3. He knew now to get the most out of his aircraft
4. He was patient and waited until is enemy made a mistake.

I worry more about the possibility of mass produced (cheaper but competent) enemy aircraft with well trained pilots.

Does uber want rats to drive. Or do they want to pay their workers in Fruit Loops? Someone needs to make a 'Will Drive for Fruit Loops' bumper sticker.

This article is the most poorly worded article I have read in a long time. It was not at all clear what they meant. However, the NASA link is quite clear.

It is not the farthest picture from earth. It was not taken from earth, or even near earth. It is not the picture itself they are talking about. It is the space probe that took it. New Horizons was the furthest from Earth of any space probe that has taken a picture (any picture).

Voyager 1 was 3.75 billion miles away from Earth when it took a picture. It just so happens it was a picture of Earth.
New Horizons was 3.79 billion miles away from Earth when it took a picture. (That is the record they are talking about).

So, if you put something in the room generating noise between 3,000 and 6,000 Hz (to fill in the gap in the commercial's audio), an Echo might respond to everything in the commercials?

Could be a fun experiment.

Bingo!

Don't remove it. I use it to send over the air TV throughout my house.

One other thing. It is very easy to come across new 75 Ohm cable for cheap. Sometimes long pieces are just discarded by contractors or cable companies after wiring a project. The newer cables are a significant improvement over the cable placed in homes years ago. So, I would not rip out the old stuff and look to re purpose it when I can get new and better stuff so cheap.
