I'm squarely in the "never taken a selfie in my life" camp, but I'd prefer to keep front facing camera. I didn't buy an expensive multifunctional piece of tech to then not be able to have video calls. I don't need super high quality front camera, but I need it nonetheless. Perfect solution would...

I really miss Sicario on that list ...

Who said anything about planet-killing meteorites? City-killing or even village-killing meteorite is something we'd rather not have. 140 meter rock won't cause Armageddon 2.0, but it will cause some serious damage.

I see a lot of complains about this article and tbh I don't understand them. It's still kinda about tech; could do with a paragraph or two about materials used, but it's fine. For reference, I'm a tech enthusiast that doesn't give a crap about fashion, but somehow I still found this article a...

More than enough. We're talking backbone level of bandwith.

It's the other way around: according to this article it's maglev that's coming sooner - in 2027 - and Alfa-X by 2030.

My memory says there was A LOT of discussing about that test when it happened ...

You're right, but there's still one major difference between those scenarios: consequence of the action. If you take out a driver with a brick, there's a risk of that car rolling uncontrollably into your friend. Similar story with air-to-air missile and jet fighter. So a relatively minor, short...

Literally translated name would be "Russcommsurveilance".

Wait, so the BFS itself has sea level TWR high enough for launch?

That same rocket, just at a different time. The "big" line is liftoff, the thinner line next to it is landing burn. EDIT: ninja'd

Can confirm that. Lightning strike into a power line somewhere nearby ignored two surge protectors and fried my router. Which conveniently distributed that surge to all connected PCs and fried their network chips ... On a side note, I guess I have to read news from another continent to find...

(ninja'd) 4 cars per team, 2 per driver; each drivers only does one switch during a race, so the battery is good for about 30 miles. But yeah, even with new batteries that last an entire race we're still far from distances covered by gasoline powered cars. Gasoline just has so much higher energy...

Formula E is fairly low power and racing at not-so-high speeds, usually at street circuits so straights and sharp corners. Downforce is only needed for high speed corners so it wouldn't help much in those scenarios, while it would reduce top speed and efficiency.

1) Something over 100 km (didn't find exact info). Races are approx. 50 min long. 2) Top speed is 225 km/h, averages are about 130 km/h.

Well, in case of head mounted displays the focal point is something like 1.5 or 2m away, so this should be less straining to user's eyes than an ordinary PC monitor (which tends to be 30-50cm away).

I'm survivng just fine with 21:9 and 16:9 dual monitor setup, but 21:9 has to be primary. And ofcourse they have to be same height and same vertical resolution. Planning to add a third one though (another 16:9 to the other side).

Nobody said anything about intercepting ICBMs. CHAMP would be used to fry the missile's control system (and supporting tech) on a launchpad - before takeoff. We have other systems to intercept missiles already in flight.

Energy use varies greatly between consumers - and is also dependant on region. 250kWh/9 days figure from the article sounds about right for me. We (5 people in an apartment) use 800kWh/month, which amounts to 240kWh/9 days. And I wouldn't say we're the biggest consumers out there ... I even put...
