Re: Space Archeology ?
Clickbait, sort of...
But there should be proper space archeology.

The last series of the Newton actually worked as advertised, which was a big improvement over all the previous models that didn't. Lots of good ideas that were pretty nifty for the time. Still the best address book function in any mobile device I have ever come across. And I still nurture a grudge about the Newton being cancelled.
Switched over to a Sharp Zaurus eventually which was 'in colour' and more compact, but not as good.
Blighty's nuclear deterrent will get a software upgrade amid cyber-war fears
Friday 1st April 2016 21:55 GMT
Re: The View from Away Out There
That's the thing about nuclear weapons - there is no place safe to 'weather the storm' or 'ride it out'. Even someone like Stalin understood this.
Upside: no direct confrontation, in other words hot war between the big power blocks.
Downside: proxy wars all over the place.

So, are we talking about
- the control and guidance systems in the missile
- the guidance systems in the MIRVs
- the arming system (supposing there is a separate system for that)
- the control systems in the sub
- all of the above
- neither
or what?
I suppose this is not about switching from Google maps to HERE - but what is it actually about?

"Apple Watch peripherals such as the Kardia band, which acts as an EKG monitor, can be the "killer apps" that unlock the savings."
And the watch will send the data to the iPhone.

If the watch isn't the sensor, what the hell do I need it for?

Astronomers find first neutron star in Andromeda galaxy
Friday 1st April 2016 08:19 GMT
"We'll be able to get a lot closer look in about four billion years' time, at which point the Andromeda galaxy will collide with our Milky Way and merge into a new super-galaxy."
Maybe by then HλLF-LIFE 3 will have been released?
But seriously, top-notch boffinry. All this data the astroboffins keep accumulating would be a better playground for data scientists to train their algos than my shopping metadata.

India orders 770 million LED light bulbs, prices drop 83 per cent
Friday 1st April 2016 07:14 GMT
Re: LOVE them LED lights!
Incandescent bulbs are still the most effective space heaters you can buy - over 95% of the energy is transformed into heat...
I'm still in the process of phasing out of using halogen and fluorescents and into using LEDs. (Great believer in the don't-fix-if-not-broken approach.) Any burned out or obsolete light source gets replaced by LED. LED replacements for the long fluorescent tubes have just become cheap enough.
The white LED lights are quite good for lighting pictures without colour distortion. The "warm white" make for a cozier atmosphere though - must be genetic memory passed on from the ancestors sitting around their fires...

Re: Priorities and empowerment
Being micromanaged is the worst. Especially if the boss micromanaging the completely irrelevant bits because he has no idea what the project is actually about or to produce.
But the priorities thing really works. Every time you get a new task you must ask for its ranking. Turns out a lot of jobs aren't that urgent after all and can be re-scheduled, combined with other jobs or just dumped.
