The premise is entirely unrealistic since the difference in orbit parameters. We aren't talking about some slight misconceptions; reality completely walks out of the window in Gravity:

* Most satellites and all crewed spaceships orbit Earth from west to east. Why would they hit each other?

* There is no way to travel between the Hubble and space stations like the way it happened in the movie. Especially not with that EMU with 25 m/s delta-v. That's like taking a cup of kerosene, pouring it into a Boeing 747, and traveling 9000 km. Hubble and the ISS have completely different orbits with different inclination.

* Overall, writers of Gravity have no understanding of orbital mechanics whatsoever.

* ISS orbit height is something like 400 km, for Hubble it's about 550 km. Most communication satellites are orbiting the Earth thousands of kilometers above the sea level. A circular geosynchronous orbit is 35 786 km above Earth's equator.

As for the ISS, the majority of debris created by recent India's incident are 300 km above the sea level. ISS is about 100 km higher.

According to this https://www.spaceacademy.net.au/watch/debris/orblife.htm objects with 300 km altitude will enter atmosphere in a month.

Turn around is also solved with a special car that has a driver cockpit for remote control of the locomotive on the other end. But some high speed trains like the Velaro (also running in Spain) don't even have locomotives anymore, they just have cockpits at each end of a multi-car segment, and all the motors, transformers and so on are distributed along the whole length of the train.

I think that GP meant with "Skip the engine all together, and make trains fully dynamic" would be something where every single car could be autonomous and they just connect together (on the go?) for slipstream and traffic control. This is both real (segments are joined primarily for traffic control, "cars" already have their own motors etc) as it is far away (the individual cars of a segment are joined together at the factory and form a single articulated unit)

Largely yes. Or at least a lot less of a problem.

The biggest risk from space garbage is that the small stuff is not trackable, so at any point it could slam into satellites or, god forbid, people or space stations. It's going fast enough that despite being small this would have dreadful consequences.

Larger items can be tracked, and therefore can be avoided, so they don't pose a risk any more than non-junk large items like other satellites and so on. There's quite a lot of room so if you know where things are it's not hard to avoid them.

Some amount of garbage is sadly unavoidable at this point in our development of space travel. For example many rockets are multi stage and jettison those stages, farings to protect satellites are jettisoned, and so on. That all falls into the "large and trackable" category so it's not a terrible problem, at least not yet. So the main current strategy for avoiding creating problems is to avoid creating small garbage, and people work very hard at that - being careful not to lose tools or even a single nut or bolt.

And yes, before you mention it, "lots of room" is a relative statement and this is not an infinitely sustainable strategy. But people are working on methods to capture and clean up garbage, and as those get more feasible we'll be able to go and clean up all this large garbage that we are tracking. So even with a long-term perspective, the large stuff is less of a problem.
I didn't know Keep fell under the Gsuite umbrella. My concerns are mildly alleviated.
sweet! for anyone reading this from the future: hello
Also i know, at least for me, that when i find myself wanting to take notes most is whenever its a spur of the moment kind of idea that i dont want to lose.

In that kind of scenario, i find that a small notebook and pencil is still superior to an app simply because i don't have to think too much about the process of getting myself into a position where i can actually record the idea.

Its just too hard to get into the habit of remembering you have a note taking app on your phone that you can use whenever the good idea has just hit you.

You are too excited about the idea and trying your hardest to recall all the key details and keep them freshly in mind to be able to navigate to the app, wait for it to load up, press the + button, type in the idea using your thumbs, write in a title, save it, shit the app just crashed, load the app back up, great my idea wasnt saved, guess ill try writing it again, damn it i wish these notifications would stop popping up and pinging me, uhhh crap what was the clever angle to my idea again? Damn it.

Plus if im pulling out my phone, why not just use the voice controlled virtual assistant to record my ideas?

Not only does it have speech to text recognition but its actually quicker and more reliable than pulling out your notepad, flipping to an empty page, and hoping your writing utensil doesnt break/run out of ink.
I have a similar anecdote! Except mine ends with me becoming a marathon runner. I'm kinda glad none of the pills worked or else I might not have discovered the best natural anti-depressant.

The unfortunate thing is that often times when one is depressed, exercise is the the last thing on one's mind. And it also doesn't help that it can take a long time to have noticeable effects.

Well, they weren't torrent sites in the late 90s and probably not the early 2000s either. The Bittorrent protocol wasn't released until July 2001 and it took a few years to get popular.

Back then, they were just servers you downloaded stuff from.
Yes, I covered that in my response. Alternatives exist, but can't be used in circumstances where your career may be on the line.

The opinion that "hours of enjoyment" is a poor metric isn't an anti-game opinion; it's just a response to grind-heavy games.

After all, I could double the length of Game X by adding twice as many handmade maps, well written and acted cut scenes, and carefully designed encounters - or I could double the length by adding extra grind.

The former would be something to be celebrated; the latter wouldn't.
I've been trying to retain / sync / archive / etc my electronic notes since the mid 1990's - starting with one of the early Palm models.

It's always been a fraught experience, especially if you're relying on someone else's algorithms to give you peace of mind.

The most recent experiments were using Evernote, later Nixnote (because Evernote didn't care about anyone using free software operating systems) I've now moved to a breathtakingly basic platform of Google Keep + script that reliably syncs between several devices, and allows me to pull in all my notes nightly, pop them into git, and propagate to 3 hosts / 2 sites. The same server pulls in and archives my Trello boards nightly, along with a bunch of other more mundane backups.

I've never felt so relaxed about my data.
There doesn't need to be a test case, because it's written in the law. A license is defined as a "transfer of rights", you can't transfer rights that you don't have.
And I should say that some games have fine tuned the experience of playing itself to absolutely frictionless level. For eg: Clash Royale, no ads, instantaneous match making(Considering how many games have agonizing lobby waits), 1v1 gameplay, so you need not have any friends available to team up, short games 3mins, varied gameplay(there are a number of cards, news ones introduced quite frequently).

After the entirely justified public shaming of China when they did this I though, hey at least this disaster will serve as an example and no one will be so stupid as to do it again.

Then India proves they are so stupid as to do it again.

I can't imagine the decision process that leads to the go-ahead on something like this. The only scenario that enters my head is some Dr. Stangelove-grade military lunatics getting the hands on the launch keys.

Please read the article.

24 pieces are (so far) known to have gone higher than the ISS. These are objects "10cm (six inches) or bigger". There are other pieces "which are dangerously large but too small to track".
I suspect this is the reason why something as seemingly trivial as colour is presenting such a huge obstacle to recycling --- the margins are already so low that no one really cares enough to solve the problem. (There is probably a lot of bureaucracy around the whole thing too, which is another impediment.)

I believe that identifying what a substance is, is already nearly a solved problem (X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, etc.); it just costs too much to use it.
And if you publish a picture you bought on the web, you are the publisher and liable for copyright infringement. You'll still be accountable, "I didn't know they weren't able to sell licenses" doesn't protect you.
Should not the trolls sending fake copyright claims be held responsible then? This doesn't look very legal.
India is uncannily similar to Latin America in that way. AFAIK, Indians haven't yet dared to storm police stations and extract prisoners for a lynching. Usually WhatsApp forwards lead to lynchings before the police are even aware of anything weird going on.

Yea...I don’t understand anything Evernote has done that’s new since I’ve been using them. I also never understood why they charge based on upload volume vs total storage, say 1000 notes or pictures, like every other storage provider, or don’t fix the syncing errors. Like others have mentioned I’ve never had syncing errors with google drive or box or Dropbox like I’ve had with Evernote.

You have to look through the geopolitical aspect. Treaties, historically have been favorable for those who ride the high horse, bystanders gut mud slung upon them. In the 60's India was pressurized not to develop Nuclear bombs, but it was secretly known pakistan was developing it with the help of china and stolen tech.
If India had signed the NPT back then, it would not have have anykind of deterrence action against Pakistan where they had full scale war and USA coming to pakistans's Aid when India was trying to liberate East Pakistan where there was full scale genocide of ethnic Bangla people going, that we now know as Bangladesh. They developed the bombs but with a no first use policy.

Now in 2019 with 2 front war with both Pakistan and china, where both party have actively militarized the border with them and playing the proxy war it was sure coming. China vetoing 2 times action against J-E-M terrorist group based in Pakistan that are active in insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir state of India. They are also actively claiming the state of Arunachal Pradesh as the territory like they did with Tibet

China has also amassed large number of military installation near the North-Eastern border of India and have actively tried en roaching into Indian territories, several kilometers sometimes into the past few year resulting in border skirmishes sometimes.

Last time India declined the UNSC seat and gave it to china & they are still regretting the the decision. They are hoping the next NPT for Space will have India's seat already reserved.

If other nations are going to play game of dual diplomacy it's leaves no option but to demonstrate show of force. India cannot afford to become Another Ukraine, Tibet or Taiwan becomes some other nation can abuse it's power.

Yes, as I wrote the previous comment that stood out as the "obvious fix". However, there are many other hurdles to this model, like handling all the logistics behind the batteries: charging them up, shipping them around as demand requires, manning each station because the physical process of battery swapping is not 100% reliable, and so on. This would cause the costs to rise and there would be far fewer such stations compared to supercharging stations. And people just don't have a problem with stopping for a 20-minute charge.

Then there's the huge showstopper issue of the tragedy of the commons. People would lose the incentive to care for their batteries, they'd charge them to 100%, wouldn't care about their temperature, would do all kinds of abuse and then go for a replacement. This goes back to the initial argument of batteries not being as fungible as, say, gas.

According to a source for the Wikipedia article on the collision between Kosmos-2251 and Iridium 33 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_satellite_collision), ~1000 of these would be from Kosmos-2251 (Russia) and ~300 from Iridium 33 (USA). Looking at the graph on that source (http://www.spacenewsmag.com/feature/10-breakups-account-for-...) there are several more from other failed satellites from the USA and Russia (which makes sense, given the amount of satellites these two countries have launched).
You seem right, but maybe they mean some of the currently "regular" hydro would be converted to pumped hydro[0], allowing for storage & smoothing of other renewable energy sources.

Been doing some pitch detection recently myself, but I went for an average magnitude difference function over an FFT.

This is what Merkel meant with "Neuland"(engl. uncharted territory) in 2013.

In Germany she is heavily mocked for not understanding the Internet. Of course, it's the bright populace of high class forums such as Facebook and r/de who know better than the Physicist Chancellor of a G7 nation...

In reality, she meant it is legal Neuland. That authorities and courts had little established ways of enforcing laws online, that even heavily illegal acts were difficult to process and prosecute.

Now we are getting there. The law catches up with the Internet. If we want a free Sci-Hub and free content sharing, then it's the law that we have to adapt. Because governments already adapt their procedures - the online Wild West is over.

Kind of feels like "civilization" creeping into the Old West.
