And there is the assumption that this will improve greatly over future iterations.

I'm talking about their folding screen they use.

Folding screens can certainly enabled more software based design. Its obviously a really exciting new form factor considering how prominent folding screens have been in sci fi. We all really want to have Westworld level tech. Even though we are still a ways away, its awesome to know that its becoming possible.

Eh, the Global Hawk is more of a tell it where to go instead of flying by hand it kind of drone.

> Drone pilots can be put pretty much anywhere in the world so they don't need to be forward-deployed, which will probably help attract people.

Unfortunately the USAF likes to put all their drone pilots at Beale which from what I have heard isn't a very big difference in experience from Minot.

Also right now all drones are required to be full pilots and officers. This is a big factor in the shortages problem. No one wants to through the Academy and then sit at a desk flinging a joystick around. When I was in it was asked all the time why not have warrant officers or let enlisted fly drones? Brass always said no.

I'm 100% certain Stargate isn't a documentary.

You can still buy a new wrangler like that.

Getting to 37k isn't a bad accomplishment. It may not be the big number, but its still a pretty good price point. Hopefully this is the end of the chaos pricing has been the past few weeks.

I wonder if there will ever be a sub 30k car by Tesla someday. The average new car is around 37k now, so about half the market is under that.

The resolution a 10 meter telescope on Earth can make out of the moon is about 22 meters per pixel. We can yet make out the moon landing site with earth based telescope.

I think the rotation from M87 is 15 degrees off from our perspective, so yes we are looking mostly "down" at it.

The speeds and distances of the planets are well known at this point and easily predicted. By the time of establishing a permanent presence on Mars the requirements of communications would already put in place the information needed if the DSN isn't already capable of it now. The compute needed would be greater, but so would the availability of it in the future too.

Constructing a telescope on Mars would be a valuable investment when a permanent presence is based there.

So is Google deciding to use Greek names for all their cloud services now?

This is an amazing case of whataboutism.
