One thing I didn't fully get: Did Naomi send the proto sample to Fred Johnson against Holden's wishes and without him knowing? Because that's how it looked. At first I thought they were going to send it into the sun and Johnson would capture it due to his knowledge of capturing the earth...

Oh and I'm also disappointed we didn't get to see Sgt. Draper get rekt by proto monster, I thought her battle with it was one of the best battles in the books. What's the book spoiler policy in this thread?

Everything about this is wrong. Imagine a kid sitting in a swing. When stationary the only force acting on them is gravity. Now imagine gently pushing them on their back. They now have another force acting on them, your hand. They feel the force on their back, and begin to accelerate in the...

Just a small nitpicky point, us not going to the moon since the apollo missions isn't really science taking a leap backward. The only thing stopping us from making a rocket with 500k gallons of rocket fuel is the desire, not the science. I think science only takes a step back when a mistake is...

So...... Collect 5000 bear asses on 7 different worlds in 30 different clusters?

Yeah it's much more ambitious. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it does in their upcoming rollout.

I'm pretty sure tesla uses radar. Ultrasonics get pretty bad after 10 meters. edit: Tesla Autopilot - Wikipedia

I think they'll keep having these issues until they drastically increase the capability of the system.

But to answer the following question of, "Ok well what popular science publication is good?" is that there isn't, and it's not journalists fault. Everything that could possibly come out of pop science publications is overstated several times to the point where if you follow scientific trends at...

InfoWars sometimes covers science. The Economist and the Atlantic don't belong in the top left. But I agree with Skanda, move everything to the right and down one.

Lulz, must be frustrating wqtching that. I wouldnt trust a tesla in any roadwork.

Christmas 2020 release IMO. Funding will dry up in late 2018, they'll run out of resources in early 2019, EA will buy Roberts out for a few million and they will cut just about every feature from the game to get it to a publishable state. In the end we'll get a hangar, arena commander, the...

Thanks. I wouldn't come into it to be a competitive PvPer, I'm just looking for something fun. I decided against playing Exiles for now.

If they can indeed deliver with 2ms of delay that's pretty impressive.

I feel like I'm going to go cash in my 1 bitcoin one day to find out I've been robbed somehow and the system makes it inherently impossible to get your money back.

Will be a while. Wireless transmission conflicts with a lot of different goals of VR including data rate, size, power consumption etc.

New all time high.

To me the ISS (or any other low-G station) and a lunar base serve two very different purposes, so I don't know why the lunar base would replace the ISS. It takes a lot of energy to move cargo to and from a lunar base, so unless that lunar base is operating as a producer of goods (Ex: Helium 3)...

They've announced some idea of the the savings, I remember it cutting the cost of launching stuff in half if everything works right. SpaceX’s reusable rockets will make space cheaper — but how much? I think the big question is how much refurbishing they need to do each flight. If they have to...

It was a mostly offhand reference, but in the context, shonnen manga often have a somewhat cohesive power curve where the hero starts off at a certain low level and increases steadily throughout the series. It's not until several years into the manga and many totally useless filler arcs and...

Saw this last night, enjoyed it. The visuals were very impressive though the infinitely folding space got a little formulaic. The void zone or whatever that the big bad was in was very cool. This bothered me more than it should, but it seems like half the spells used were the most impressive...

I'd actually be okay if FemRyder had a minor case of cerebral palsy or similar condition, and selecting hard mode merely enabled you to play her and stumble around the game. That plus Ryder incest would be the most progressive thing a game company has ever done.

I don't have to do a bunch of boring bullshit to level up/ get geared before I can have fun / avoid getting rekt'd in PvP, do I?

So we have a community server for this? How many people are in it on a daily basis and is it worth buying into?

ah yeah, I misremembered. I'm looking forward to hearing what people have to say about it with 30% more vertical lines. But I'm still thinking it won't be good enough for me until it's at 4k per eye.

GDC 2017: Hands-on With LG's SteamVR Headset Nevermind... it's in the same ballpark as the first gen Two panels (one for each eye) with a resolution of 1440 by 1280 each OLED display from LG 3.64 inches diagonal 90 Hz refresh rate Still, the more competitors the better. I hope one of them...

LG to Reveal VR Headset Prototype Based on SteamVR Tracking This Week – Road to VR Super interested to see what the performance specs of the new device are. I'm hoping for somewhere like 3840 × 2160 per eye (Rift is 2160×1200).

Good to see commodization happen here in the first generation, far before a second generation comes out.

SpaceX orbiting the moon with a human is pretty cool, but I'm personally more interested to see how cheaply they can get a person to and from the ISS.

I dunno but i look exactly like i did in my blacksmithing photos and have not aged or gained weight one bit.

What you did wasn't banter, it was annoying drivel.

Neither, both are important members of our fine community. Hodj should keep his autism in check in those kinds of threads and @Cad shouldnt antagonize him.

@Vanessa A+++ thread, beautiful woman, great forum personality. I encourage you to lurk less and post more. 1. What did you do and continue to do to have a feminine voice. 2. Got any good hair shots? Seems like you have a lot to work with. @jihodj is a chump hater, troll or no.

You referencing that great scam story?

Vanessa has been here longer than you and has better EQ creds, so she belongs much more than you.

Finish d the series so far and love it. Excited to watch the tv show too. This is my new game of thrones.
