Comment on video Colorful sunrise / convection at sunset – 25 June 2020

UND Atmospheric Sciences – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVvaJnSsri0 No numbers? No radar correlations? No models? No satellite correlations? No corrections for sun angle and lighting? No temperatures or pressures or wind speeds? No science? I expected more from “Atmospheric Sciences”. At least put two cameras and do a little 3D estimation. Frame to frame correlations and velocities? Estimate

Comments on a video tour of Cern’s Atlas facility

360° tour: ATLAS Experiment – Inside CERN’s largest detector! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On1WbLKP8DA Dear Atlas at Cern: There are two purposes for a video like this. One is to simulate what physical visitors do and see if they ever have a chance to visit. You show the parking lot, door, elevator, tunnels, and things. You show things from

Current activities, The Internet Foundation, Aug 2021

For the Internet Foundation I try to track all global sensor networks. One of the dramatic changes the Internet allows is integration of data from many different sensors – cameras, telescopes with cameras, microscopes with cameras, electromagnetic, gravitational, seismic, acoustic. I am trying to get them all to have standards for archiving and sharing, standards

Solar system colonization – needs and opportunities, “working globally” becomes “working solar system wide”

With LEDs going to lower and lower energies, moving electrons is probably less expensive than digging holes and trying to concentrate the rather thin light on Mars. I was gathering what groups and resources are needed to send small nuclear packages to Mars to provide the energy needed. The old dream of atomic energy was

Comment on how to copy trees and find Birth Parents using Ancestry DNA

I have used Family Tree Maker which syncs to Ancestry. You download the trees to FTM and merge them, and then upload to a new tree. The merging is tedious but better than “save to tree” bit by bit. It is the ONLY method I found that preserves the records as records so that all

Notes about PixInsight on Houston Astonomical Society Facebook closed group

All their image processing workshops listed are from 2017. There are software tutorials by their “PTeam” members at https://pixinsight.com/tutorials/index.html I do not know how many

Comment on Google Search Hints for Search for Melting point of Al2O3

https://www.google.com/search?q=melting+point+of+al203 You are giving Fahrenheit temperatures on the Internet, and the global standard is SI. You are not only serving the few people in the world who are still not using Metric, but everyone. Or you ought to. K is the abbreviation for Kelvin. So it looked like you are giving 2.07 Kelvin at first

Comment on “Aerodynamic Center and Center of Pressure location. Computation and Misconceptions”

​At https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67eTLeNwLgE Alexander, You are using what looks like to be a good computer tool for these calculations and visualizations. But you don’t explain your tools and give links to let others know what to use, or what you recommend. I watched your hysteresis video. It is really shaky and hard to watch. You could use
