As the Peregrine team worked to try and determine the cause of the problem, the situation began to look increasingly dire. All indications pointed to a complication arising from the spacecraft’s propulsion system which, if confirmed, would likely end Peregrine’s mission before it ever came close to landing on the lunar surface. … The failed…
Good to see the press moving on this BS fast.
Bibi is an objectively evil person who is now backed into a corner… Aaron David Miller, a former longtime Middle East negotiator, describes Netanyahu as increasingly desperate. This is, after all, a man who long cast himself as Israel’s best hope for security in a tough region — a brand badly damaged following the Oct.…
The emergence of this population panic has set off my BS alert. It smell like the “AIs will end us” crap – and it’s spouted by the same dimwits. Very glad to see the evolution of thinking about *why* this argument is shaped the way it is. If that is the argument, it brings us close the…
Norman Finkelstein counts noses as to which states acting as judges are likely to vote. His discussion is short but the bottom line is for South Africa to prevail on this action, it needs 8 of 15 votes. So an abstention amounts to a vote for Israel.
But maybe the Pi 5 will be better! Looking at the spec sheet, things seem promising: “between two and three times” the CPU and GPU processing power of the Raspberry Pi 4, faster interfaces for storage including the option for an internal PCIe SSD, and support for a pair of 4K displays running at 60…
Today I am sharing a circuit using 3 Animating LED Stickers to light up the balloons on this card. This card also features a stamp set from Mama Elephant. https://chibitronics.com/2024/01/08/light-up-card-with-red-animating-led-stickers-and-mama-elephant-stamp-set/
As a scholar of antisemitism, I continue to be alarmed by the language [Noa] Tishby uses, sometimes in conjunction with other much more well-known television personalities such as Chelsea Handler and Mayim Bialik, to describe anyone who opposes her view that all criticism of Israel is antisemitism. In various media appearances, Tishby has called pro-Palestinian protesters “a cancer,”…
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have unraveled an anti-gravity mystery that seemingly defied the norms of classical physics, potentially paving the way for revolutionary advancements in magnetic levitation technology. The breakthrough centers on a unique form of magnetic levitation, first demonstrated in 2021 by Turkish scientist Hamdi Ucar, an electronics engineer from Göksal Aeronautics in Turkey.
Perhaps as important as the contract wins was how they were won. Breaking with decades of the union’s history of concessions and corruption, recently elected president Shawn Fain and other UAW leaders made ambitious demands and clearly communicated them to members and to the public. And the union has not shied away from the language of class…
In the late 1930s, following the rise of Nazism and burgeoning antisemitism in Europe, Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin fled to the United States, arriving there in 1941. As a lecturer of criminal law at Yale University, he researched cases in history in which one people deliberately set out to annihilate another. It was he who…
If you’re an adenoidal keyboard warrior from IT who still buys Musk BS on this topic, you’re fucking dumb or actively misanthropic. No amount of wishful thinking is going to magic this fairy tale into existence with the current approach. IN 2016, JUST WEEKS before the Autopilot in his Tesla drove Joshua Brown to his death, I pleaded with…
War: Propaganda with violence. Purposefully conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism will go down in history as one of the greatest errors ever. It’s a disastrous slippery slop that will only build the ranks of Nazis and Fascists. Those ranks will only ever be filled with low information people… the hardest to de-program and the most likely…
This ends in two ways… the rich acquiesce to a tax regime that supports host they parasitize or guillotines. Canada’s Gilded Age is terrible for workers and bad for the economy. As the rich gain more power and entrench themselves further, the economy becomes less productive, and workers lose leverage to secure fair pay, better…
We are entering into the next phase of the digital technology revolution. Passive consumption is no longer cutting it. We need to be active and critical users. [Amish communities] designate a few community members as nerds who can try out a technology and report back on how it changed their families and their focus. The…
Bibi spent 20 years poisoning the well… Israel’s on its way down. I don’t know how this mess will turn out, in the end, but US and Israeli weakness has been made clear. Neither are what they were. Add this to the humiliation of Ukraine and it’s clear the American century is all but over…
This year’s selectees range from a sample return from the surface of Venus, a fixed-wing aircraft for Mars, a swarm of probes to travel to Proxima Centauri and explore its system of exoplanets, and more. One of the more eye-catching is the Mars Aerial and Ground Global Intelligent Explorer (MAGGIE) proposed by Ge-Cheng Zha, a Professor of Aerodynamics at…
