I have my smartphone in a case that is ruggedized, slim, and waterproof. I can have the case mounted in a RAM Mounts X-Grip clamp which is easily removed yet easy to secure to a pole, boat, bike, etc. I've had my phone over and under water capturing and transmitting live video and pictures. I've worn it on my person while streaming live video.

Don't I have a GoPro killer? The camera is on par with the GoPro save the fisheye lens and "ProTune" settings which I'm going to color correct in a video editor anyway. My phone has many mounts and mounting surfaces. It has video editing programs on the capture device. It is continually plugged into video distribution and social networks. And it has a much better battery.

Doing it one time is a technological leap.

Doing it twice in such a small window of time is a logistical/programmatic leap.

PR is an important part of a space program; especially one so bold. The Space Shuttle became a symbol for things other than its designed mission. This suit may be seen by billions of people and represent ideals and dreams on a worldwide scale.

There was only one mention of Flickr in the article. It's really the only Yahoo! product that I'm emotionally invested in.

Seems like a good deal for Ford. I know some entities that would pay millions to get a hold of a rival entity's competitive materiel.

There's a baseball legend that a MLB team used to light up a certain light bulb on a sign/scoreboard in their stadium to tip off the pitch their batter was about to face.

My guess: predators hunt at night. The quieter you are, the more likely you are to survive another night.

My coffee pot and your water heater are touching each other via strips of metal.

'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' and 'Love Actually' are my favorite AR movies.

Interesting that it took 40 days to get to northern Africa despite its relatively close proximity to western Europe.

I am guessing 500px will roll out a "welcome" for old Flickr.com users and give them a heck of a deal to join up to 500px.

All the notes I have seen lately have this same style.

AFAIK, Microsoft used public (US Government) imagery. Google bought Keyhole and that enabled them to own the sensors which gave them more power in terms of capturing content.

Sand absorbs a lot of energy. 3-feet of sand will absorb a lot of energy. The cables are already protected to absorb a lot of energy. A torpedo is only going to move at 200 MPH.

It is also useful in searching for the most popular posts on HN.

A post years ago on HN getting 150 to 200 points may have been the most popular (perhaps most significant) post for a while. We get posts like that daily now.

Karma should be worth more in the past since there were fewer voters and fewer submissions.

Few, if any, of the biggest, fastest and strongest athletes eat a diet based on the food pyramid.

Anyone remember Noah Grey's "Grey Matter"?

It was an inspiration to what became WordPress

Upper management sent out an email my workforce telling us "to beware the Wikis". Their stance was that since anyone can edit it, it can not be trusted and that it could potentially host malicious content.

The YouTube video's highest resolution is 1440p which is also the maximum video resolution of GoPro's light weight Hero Session camera. The video quality of the video looks similar to the Session.

By the time the video of the sporting event is transmitted through the air, satellite, or internet, there is already a time delay between when the viewer sees an event happen and when that event really happened. When you watch an NFL football game on cable or satellite, you are really watching something that happened dozens of seconds ago, if not a couple of minutes ago.

That is plenty of time to inject post-event meta data into a broadcast to enhance the viewing experience. There is no need to predict if a basketball shot is going to be a miss to the viewer at home. We can simply wait for the event to occur and then the broadcaster can inject the results between the time the event occurs and the when the viewer sees the event.

I guess not many people watch sports from a DVR, but imagine if you had an hour to two to computationally enhance the sport event's display.

Or maybe you could watch an episode of The Walking Dead and elect to see real time Twitter/Instagram/Facebook reactions alongside the broadcast or on your second screen.

How in the world are we going to have self-driving cars before we have shopping carts that return themselves to the stores from which they came?

I'd like to see a website where you can select from a list of companies, select a start date on a timeline, and select a role (founder, CTO, engineer, etc.), a salary and benefits (stock) package to see how you'd make out at different times on the timeline.

Parents. It comes with a two-year "no questions asked" warranty and free access to tons of media curated by an independent third party.

SLS is going to cost NASA, what, $4B per launch and it's going to launch every 2 years. Careful what you wish for.

We (the US) have a space program because of the military. In fact, the military/intelligence space program is booming and space-based companies are going to be very healthy supporting military missions to LEO and beyond for the foreseeable future.

Does it do more than your still camera and video camera?

Are we sure that the Hero5 isn't coming out this year?

Humans and large livestock (and maybe even pets) will have health monitoring devices embedded into their bodies in the near future. The devices will save the insurance companies money. Savings on insurance premiums will be the incentive to encourage mass adoption by citizens and owners of livestock.

A few zones some think need to overlap and be dialed-in to come close to offering a habitable place:

water habitable zone

ultraviolet habitable zone

photosynthetic habitable zone

ozone habitable zone

planetary rotation rate habitable zone

planetary obliquity habitable zone

tidal habitable zone

astrosphere habitable zone

It's the focal length of the lens. If it had a wider FOV I think it would feel more comfortable.
