    Apparently the craft is powered entirely by solar power, plus batteries, to work at night. A solar powered craft cannot maintain 130 knots.

    I checked out Ian Tamblyn on Spotify. He has 319 monthly listeners. His top track has 11k plays. Is it because analog has more fidelity?

    You can't compare the reputation of a local elementary school versus Harvard.

    IMO, the bigger issue is the flip-flopping. It shows that not enough thought was put into the initial decision to close stores. How many other, non-visible decisions are being made…

    NVDA is worth 10x what they were 5 years ago.

    I said "most movie screens", not a theatre with the best equipment. My point is that the difference between 2k/4k/8k is noticeable, but not significant. NTSC, at 480i, was a magnit…

    The biggest cost in any metro area is land. There are few empty lots left to build on, and those go for a premium. Not going to give any specific listing publicity, but "$350,000 U…

    Here in the USA: Spotify: $10/month Netflix: $9/month I'm unsure how Spotify and the Artists are not making good money. Are the record companies syphoning off all the profits?

    You are comparing monthly subscription prices to daily bandwidth limitations. $2 USD for 45GB monthly or $0.07 USD for 1.5GB/daily

    Counterpoint, maybe only films should be eligible for Oscars, as Oscars are for "film makers". Digital cameras would not qualify, right? Seriously, there was a huge gulf in quality…

    The government can issue a gag order on a specific subject. This prevents you from disclosing the existence of a subpoena. However, the opposite is not true. The government cannot …

    The radius of the earth + 30,000 ft is about 0.14% more than just the radius of the earth. Basically ignore it, unless you are programming guidance control systems.

    Sure, there is a wage problem. My issue with the way the cost of one-bedroom apartment is calculated. It is based on the HUD fair market rents (FMRs) at the "40th percentile of ren…

    There's 100 million paying Spotify subscribers that don't meet your "requirements". Ease of convenience trumps free (stealing).

    In circular motion, acceleration is always perpendicular to the velocity. While the velocity changes, the magnitude of the velocity (aka speed) stays constant.
