that's pretty fuckin' impressive. i wonder how numerically accurate it is? and how much detail you can get if you scan a small object sitting on a table? and how it handles organic objects like a hand or a face? i don't think it'll replace our $10,000 scanners with 0.5mm resolution just yet, but it's amazingly fast and reliable considering the hardware

gonadic io posted:How come none of the Saudi princes or Jeff bezoses of the world have made a modern luxury blimp?? You can make them way bigger than an RV and sure they have super yachts but you're restricted to the coastline with those! sergey brin is literally building a giant luxury blimp in the moffett field hangar that google bought for him. it's entirely so that he can one-up the megayachts the saudi princes and russian oil barons show off. he claims it will be used for "humanitarian missions like dropping aid packages" but that can undoubtedly be better served by, e.g., a truck

me, if i were a billionaire i'd convert a ww2 PBY-5 catalina into a yacht. they held a 10-man crew and had big observation blisters in the back so you could probably live really well in one of those. oh, george clooney has a place on lake como? well i will tomorrow, i suppose. today i'm on lake geneva. i would also convert it to turboprop though because jet fuel is a hell of a lot more available than 150-octane avgas and also gently caress traveling the world on an 80 year old radial.

eh, there are worse ways to go. like, elon musk has a AMEL/IR and he doesn't even fly planes any more (his medical expired a decade ago). he's most likely going to die of a stroke from some stupid silicon valley designer brain drug cocktail. what's the loving point of having a billion dollars if you don't live your 7 year old dreams of having a flying house

i think it depends on where you are, not what kind of vehicle you're in. cars driving on the airport tarmac have to follow generally the same rules as the airplanes, so i'd expect airplanes driving down the road have to do the same as cars. thus it probably counts as driving

Schadenboner posted:How about helicopters? yes, but it would suck  hawker siddeley cancelled this concept (HS.141) when it became apparent that vertical takeoff would require 16 lift-jet engines with a combined thrust of three times what the two cruise engines needed to produce. turns out airfoils are a very good way to produce lift and there might be a reason we don't know of any flying creatures that propel themselves off the ground with powerful farts

worth noting of course that that only applies to the reynolds numbers you'd get in an earth-like atmosphere at human scale. if you're in a more viscous fluid, like say water, jet propulsion can be very efficient. it's also plausible that flying creatures on the scale of amoebas could propel themselves with air jets as there's similar fluid behavior on that scale.

if a border patrol drone has a laser on it, it'll be for ranging only, and it'll be infrared. no visible emissions. though now that I think about it, it's totally plausible that a CBP drone would have a laser designator for anti-tank missiles on it. it would not surprise me. (still infrared though)

Milo and POTUS posted:Why does Kingston seem to have a disproportionately high number of prisons? It doesn't seem like a terrible town otherwise the city is built on limestone, and limestone is good for making strong prison walls. it was also an important military fort and the former capital of canada, so it has always hosted a lot of government work and there is never a shortage of soldiers or cops.

Fredflonston posted:this strikes me as maybe not the main reason to build a prison the first high-security prison in canada, the kingston penitentiary, was built in the 1830s. for obvious reasons, in those days it was especially helpful to build something like a prison very close to wherever you quarried the stone. wikipedia says "the site was chosen for "combining the advantages of perfect salubrity, ready access to the water, and abundant quantities of fine limestone."
