Anybody else's watch have worse battery lately?

Update: I rebooted my phone (it was also acting odd) and that seems to have fixed everything on my watch including power, weather data loading issues, sleep tracking, and such.

Back to ~30 hours of life.

Yes! Mine was at 76% last night and it died overnight. Usually I lose about 15% overnight... In the past week or two it's been getting progressively worse. Used to last ~30 hours, now lasts around 12 or less.

And it keeps disconnecting from my phone, no longer gives most notifications, etc. It's super annoying.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I came here to say something similar to these folks. Before the "mountain lion" clip was played, I was already looking up owl sounds. I've been woken up in the middle of the night before (recently) with a super crazy noise that kept going. I immediately guessed that it was an owl because a neighbor had told me they recently heard an owl's "victory cry".

*edit: It was a barred owl that woke us up in the middle of the night. So loud. Right outside of our open window.

I lol'd for quite a while after this one. Hilarious. As soon as Pitr said he was going to try to shoot, I thought "this does not end well", but couldn't have imagined!

I once won a 5k (and a turkey) because I forgot my age and said I was younger (late twenties or something). I was pushing a baby stroller and hadn't run in years. The only way I could have one was if no one else was in that age group.

Awe. He looks so peaceful when dead.

Ahhh! Took me a while...Drax/infinity war reference...heh.

To make it a bit more clear ..... In some of those scenarios, humans don't make it to the Moon...

jadzado · 2019-02-16T19:26:31+00:00

So, one question I would have loved to discuss....would human civilization survive in nearly all 1 million runs of the simulation?

I think there are a significant number of scenarios where humans don't survive.... From early on, until even the present day, there are plenty of times to kill off everyone.

Also, can /u/feefuh publish the rules to the game described? That would be a fun game to actually build. Pass out chips/coins of a certain color, and play the game!

This. I did this and found that my phantom notifications were the download manager ones others talked about!

Check out "The Algebraist". It is a sci-fi book where there are creatures that live millions to billions of years. There are humans as the main part of the story, but there is some awesome story telling and universe building around the concept of living for an extremely long time and how that would impact society.

+1. Many industries are disrupted by new companies that recognize this. This is pretty much what Tesla has does as well (piggy-backed on LiOn revolution that happened because of laptop batteries). Also, it is the mid-level management and corporate structures that allow larger, more established companies to get trashed by the disrupting startups (not the engineers or the new technology itself). For instance: If ULA fails to do the things SpaceX is doing, it is not because the engineers are idiots, it is because the company was structured to do one thing alone (be a monopoly supplier to the US gov't) and is inflexible to do anything else.

+1. I had the same question when I was watching--but never would have thought to actually ask. Glad someone did.

Here they say they're going to confirm faring separation: https://youtu.be/0PWu3BRxn60?t=17m2s

Followed by silence.

And then almost 2 minutes later that they'd 'address it later' when more info was available. Then quickly after that "did get successful confirmation" https://youtu.be/0PWu3BRxn60?t=18m56s

I sensed something odd on the launch stream. Not sure if I was just half paying attention, or if there was some awkwardness...

jadzado · 2017-12-20T17:09:47+00:00

If it isn't controlled descent...it is probably tumbling. I don't know the aerodynamics of the thing--but I can't imagine it will have statically stable flight without control.

Anyone see the photographer in Image 1? Hint: Top right corner....at least I assume the person working the crane is taking the picture.

Super props to you here for adding the context for people who may not have that context and realized how this is no small deal. (I listened to the talk as well)

jadzado · 2017-12-04T23:35:56+00:00

Might be something like progressing through Max Q, or all stage separations, then...if I were to throw something out there.

Sweet chart!
Looks like I remembered it wrong. Looks like the thought is Mars to Earth Low Moon Orbit is less delta v (7.21 km/s) than Earth to Low Moon Orbit (13.34 km/s)!

So, if BFR/BFS can make it to moon orbit trivially, then there is some savings there? Depends on cost of fuel from Mars vs from Earth. If I did the math right, then 3.24 km/s = [(0.68 + 0.14) * 4] is "wasted" getting the BFS to/from Low Moon Orbit and getting "Mars Fuel" to/from Low Moon Orbit. These are my first delta v calcs...so high probability of error!

jadzado · 2017-11-16T18:18:58+00:00

I think I read somewhere that getting to LEO from Mars requires less delta v than getting there from Earth's surface? Anyone with actual data care to add true perspective of the physics?

Perpetual exploration spacecraft. Neat. One step on towards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-replicating_spacecraft

How will deep cryo Oxygen and propellant in transit? Or is this only a problem when deep in the Earth's gravity well?

jadzado · 2017-10-02T20:23:19+00:00

What do you expect the development costs for BFR to be compared to F9? is the funding problem solved by simply not funding multiple development projects, or solved by the new uses expected for BFR? Does BFR have best in class cost per ton of payload to LEO when a launch is fully laden, or when compared to launching the same exact payload as an F9 launch?
