Sounds logical since you need higher ilvl for dungeons now.

Some more stuff on nodes

That one is good flat ea... city?

*** EDIT *** Saw the costs, NVM.

Given that KJ is the last boss of the tomb, I guess... it ends badly. Sargeras will probably need new, better underlings soon.

Interesting episode. I wasn't expecting the Somnambulist to be there, nor what they did with it by moving the Sutayaporns from Ganymede's surface to there (and the end of episode). As a book reader, I'm a bit thrown off because the timelines are a lot twisted and compacted compared to the books...

Quick Elon, snap those sats: Ariane 5 launch halted indefinitely as Kourou unrest continues - SpaceNews.com

I've had problems lately with the game. Game starts ok, displays everything fine, but pokestop don't show when selected; berries lock for 30s and display error, and so on. Some days it works, others it's shit. ** EDIT ** Looks like it's fucking up with google authentication. It's fine until it...

Yea. The analysis was that the fueling technique used could cause some extra stress on the tanks, so they changed the way they load the fuel to avoid that.

Yes. They've been shopping around for a first customer to provide a full demo, most of them wanted heavy discounts for being the first to reuse. The same thing is going for their Dragon capsule. Until recently, the contract with NASA for the ISS resupplies required a non-refurbished capsule for...

Yay! Time for big-scale SF! Hope they get the budget book 3 deserves. Book 4 can be done on the cheaper side, but book 3 requires the big stuff.

From the same guild, not just same server. We run a casual raid, and have people from a friendly guild that has raided with us since LK, well before any cross-server stuff. When we have 3 of them, the master loot is cancelled (and I usually forget to reset it to group loot, so Skorp is almost...

They do "Earth Sience", basically every form of observation of Earth from space. Archaeology, all kinds of survey... and climate stuff as well. The Earth Science was gutted because it's easy to convert credits from one line to another, and do some climate science using gravity measurement...

The largest are due to moons clearing the paths, most of the others are from orbital resonance with said moons. That said, there's thousand of gaps, and we have very little idea of the mechanisms involved. The biggest oddity is of course the Phoebe ring, which is at a 27 degree angle to the...

Holden is the incarnation of stupid in the books too. The man who says "information wants to be free" and starts interplanetary warS because he think it's the right thing to do. If anything, he's been toned down in the show, but he's absolutely intended to be the guy you love to hate. The actor...

She's still gung-ho. She's pissed about wearing that brace, she's obsessively checking her armor and gun. But she's also suffering from some PTSD about guilty about being unable to protect her squad. Both of which are normal. And she's horrified at the idea of being sent to earth as a political...

From panel, I'd say classic Star Trek?

Forget about Tesla. The next car company is going to be... Airbus http://europe.newsweek.com/airbus-unveils-self-flying-car-concept-565107?rm=eu Take that, Uber!

There's stuff that works well in book form, but does not translate well into the punctuated dynamic of a show. But I agree, this episode seem to be one of the most "off-book" ones. I do assume that they're going to use Dawes as the impetus for Holden and crew to chase to Ganymede and stumble...

There's a couple of bits from all over book 2 that ended up early in S01/early S02. All the UN politics/Jules-Pierre Mao are from the entire first half of book 2. Finding that Mao is the bad guy in charge and the UN undersec is in cahoot with him is long after the Ganymede stuff. Plus it's a lot...

It factors at least into the "warforged"/"titanforged" label, anyway. Unless, of course, you want to drop that label, and just let ilvl. And what about the other boni. I mean, we're talking about how the token warforged status should reflect the final tier status. But the socket? I mean, unless...

Wrote industrial software for telcos ("Specification: customer billing must work. The rest is optional") for about 10 years, then MMO for 2 years, then security firewalls for 6. I have enough experience on complex software to know how you do code right and how you write steaming pieces of...

It's not an apologist garbage, I'm just telling you how it works. At the moment, there is no link between the token you loot, and the item you get. All the token does, when clicked, is launch the loot generation function with a loot table that includes the 3 or 4 items that you can get...

Yep. They would just have to completely re-engineer their item generation. 1h for an intern, I guess. I mean, they just dropped their entire system for a 2nd relic trait because they could not make it work. But remaking the loot generation system? Peachy. (adding special cases everywhere, like...

The one I remember about that cold stuff was "Heads" by Greg Bear, in which they break reality, and it ends up with "Mars" in which the martian colonists use that technology to teleport and hide Mars somewhere safe in the galaxy because at that point we're fighting a war by converting pieces of...

I see that quite often. It's an artifact (haha) of their multi-zone system, I think. It's never more than 1-5, no matter what.

It's a technical limitation. When you use a token, it does a "loot generation" action, so the generated piece of loot runs thru the entire system of "do I get a forge? do I get a socket? do I get a third stat? which one?", which is completely separate from the token itself. The token is merely...

That's because most studies are NOT reproduced. Ever. We have a major reproducibility problem because of that. There's been a few studies on reproducibility. One biotech company decided to take 53 major studies in cancer. The kind of studies that will probably dictate how we treat cancer in the...

The title for this week's episode ( "The Seventh Man" ) is a clear indication that it will be about the battle. (as it's obviously referring to the 7th target on Bobbie's display, unlike the 6 UN Marines they encountered earlier)

That can be arranged, ... mr Reagan.

95% we're going to see the battle in bits and pieces thru flashbacks when she gets debriefed then has to testify. It's not too bad. You go from badass marines ready to rock to corpses scattered everywhere, which lets you imagine the worst. If you didn't read the books, you would probably not...

D-Wave has good quantum computers, but they're specialized systems for annealing (basically, exploration of multi-dimensional score function to find the maximum value). Immensely faster than any classical supercomputer for that specific problem, useless for every other. There's no general...

Fake science news or not? I was surprised to see Infowars there. Do they run science stuff? Huffpo, ok they do fake science, but Infowars?

Remember from episode 1, she's quite the iron lady. But yes, usually, she's more about the nice and reasonable lady you should listen to.

Augmented designs: I like the part where the drone chassis is basically a flying squirrel pelvis.

Nope. That kind of penalty for X minutes means basically "today's play session is over". Your group isn't going to wait until the tank recovers from death, probably not until the healer can manage to keep the tank alive, and possibly not until you have your CC/DPS fully operational. In a...

Corpse/Item recovery creates a potential crisis point. If your corpse is lost, you WILL ask yourself "do I want to play again?". That's what we call Crisis Points in gameplay, the moment where the player asks him/herself "do I still want to play", and the answer will - depending on other...

With relativity, it would... depend. On whose perspective. If you can accelerate "forever", then you'll do so. The acceleration drops to infinitesimal levels based on outside experience, while it remains constant based on your own perspective. It's just that the universe will end just before...

And that's why he gets into problems with Naomi. She's a known OPA operative, and she's very obviously trained against that form of interrogation.

That also gives you his acceleration, he did an average of 112 meter per second squared average (around 12G). His sensors in the show go offline when he goes above 10G. He should have been dead well before; the unprotected human body starts blacking out at 6G, and trained military pilots manage...
