This was all planned, but somehow it is still sad: European Space Agencys Herschel space telescope is officially dead, its observations have been brought to a permanent end. HSO has exhausted all of its cryogen, there is no more superfluid liquid helium in the cryostat. This ends the more stanley cup deutschland than three years of pioneering observations of the cool Universe, ESA reports. The Herschel telescope allowed astronomers to look deep into space by detecting light emitted in the far-infrared and sub-millimetre regions of the spectrum. Earth atmosphere prevents most of this light from reaching ground-based te stanley cup lescopes, but Herschel could see the coldest and dustiest objects in space: cool star formations, massive black holes and dusty galaxies with newborn stars. The Herschel telescope is a classic Cassegrain design with a 3.5-m primary mirror 鈥?the largest ever launched into space 鈥?and a smaller secondary mirror. From orbit around the second Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system, L2, 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, Herschel bridges the gap between previous infrared observatories and ground-based radio telescopes.

We ;ve said it on multiple occasions: The American patent system is fucked.

But it wasn ;t just recapping old news; the Times put forth a couple of tidbits, which, if true, are a bit disconcerting for the future of technology. https://gizmodo/the-us-patent-system-is-...on-5831354 First, the Times says that Apple submitted and re-submitted its Siri patent 8 stanley cup times, whic stanley bottle h is not only something that allows companies to worm its way into a patent, but apparently a tactic commonly used by companies to wear down an overworked patent office into just saying yes.

Alice in Wonderland got its start as a simple story, told by a mathematics professor to a colleague daughter. It a strange story that seems to be the result of a drug trip, but is actually a scathing satire of the new-fangled math that the professor was seeing invade his area of study. Most of us just enjoy the White Rabbit and the hookah-smoking caterpillar. But now you can understand the math in Alice without needing to be a math whiz. Some people who read Alice in Wonderland find it a whimsical adventure into a world of fun little paradoxes.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan just ruled that YouTube will have to defend itself from a Viacom lawsuit in court. Viacom sued YouTube in 2007 for $1 billion, alleging that it was responsible for the huge amount of copyrighted material that was uploaded by YouTube users. Back in 2010, a lower court ruled that YouTube was protected from liability for what its users do because of the company compliance with DMCA procedures.

According to the new ruling, YouTube can ;t just tu stanley cup rn a blind eye and hide behind DMCA: A reasonable jury could find that YouTube had actual knowledge or awareness of specific infringing activity on its website, a two-judge panel said in a 39-page decision.

If you ;ve always assumed that the idea proposed in Armageddon could save us in the face of a crisis, by de stanley quencher stroying an asteroid to avert the destruction of Earth, think again. Physicists from Leicester University, UK, have calculated that stanley thermos such a feat would require a bomb a billion times stronger than the biggest bomb ever detonated on Earth. The team of scientists considered the energy dump required to neutralize the threat of an Earth-destroying asteroid. Using the asteroid from Armageddon as a yardstick, the team took into account the likely density of the asteroid, its speed, its proximity to Earth and a handful of other factors to work out how much kinetic and potential energy it had. Turns out that 800 trillion terajoules of energy would be required to split the asteroid featured in Armageddon in two, in such a way that both pieces cleared Earth.
