If you look at a human being as only a collection of atoms then there really isn't any argument against this.

If you see the human being as a vehicle for a soul then this sort of manipulation can have a counterpoint.


Pretty neat. I wonder if the airframe can pull more G's with the pilot absent.


It's a complicated answer, but yes and no. A pilot needs to warm up in order to pull the high Gs as rated by the airframe. In addition, you can only pull the rated G-force for the plane for so long before blacking out. In addition, the plane has to be re-certified after going over a certain G rating.


I recall hearing that yes, they could, but it will wear out the airframe faster. Like all engineering projects, they are designed within constraints. Of course this is frame dependent, but it also means new airframes designed without pilots in mind are now possible.


Is this a prize similar to the X prize for getting into space? I'm not sure if this is an Elon X thing or a google X thing.


So one still works for IBM and another now works for the WEF?


We often see green flames shooting across the sky without descending in SA near the Woomera test facility. I put it down to boronated fuel, but most people put it down to meteors with high nickel iron or copper content.


Naah - she‘ll be right mate ;-)


Consider contacting 'Makers Muse' on youtube - I suspect he'd love to review it fairly.


That would be so neat. I was imagining a small expendable nitrous-like canister that simply screws in to flood the chamber with argon or something.


My mum said she named me after Elton Johns song 'Daniel' - Rumoured to be his long lost gay lover. Thanks mum.


Lyricist Taupin said that the story intends to be about a man, returning to a small-town after the war, who longs to return to the life he had before.

sounds like a neat way to overstay your visa


I enjoy kolourpaint. Its quite similar to the old windows paint before it started adding layers and whatever else in 7+.


If only there was KolourPaint for macOS. Recently switched to Mac and I really miss simple editor for quick editing (crop image, add another one, add text... in short: making low-effort memes).

Upd: looks like it might be possible in the future [1]
