I wanted to share this updated website. To easily watch YouTube videos, frame by frame, go to http://www.watchframebyframe.com Insert the video link, and you can easily move from frame to frame. This is a major upgrade from www.rowvid.com, by the same people, I think. For example: 1...

His talk was not a history of social networking. He presents the idea of monopoly as what a successful, high-return business should strive for. This is just another way of saying what others have said. Warren Buffett looks for a "moat". More commonly it is called sustainable competitive...

I thought about it and moved this Asperger's post to start a new thread, as it is a great stand-alone forum topic. It will place better in searches, which will help PF. Feel free to delete this original, misplaced post.

To stir the pot more, here is another worthwhile idea from Peter Thiel, discussed in "Zero to One A Discussion with Peter Thiel" > Peter Thiel says many of the entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley seem to be suffering from mild Asperger's. But turn it around. Maybe people without Asperger's are...

He never implied that. He used Einstein's work of an example of how great ideas can generate essentially very little for their creator. He laments it and, philosophically, states that is just how it works. The post is intended to point out a very interesting idea that scientists and engineers...

He does not think it, he sees it. He is a venture capitalist. http://foundersfund.com/team/peter-thiel/ The guy is talking from experience. This is wisdom he is offering to those who can listen.

I need to work now, and will vanish for some time, but first... Zoobyshoe, yes, the mindset is different. Many scientists and engineers presumably want to commercialize their ideas, but they need to study some business ideas, to help align their thinking better. Peter Thiel's comments should be...

Peter Thiel is giving a lecture on Startups. He discusses the difference between X and Y, where X is the value produced by a business and Y is the percentage you capture of X; they are independent variables. Technology startups, often based on innovative, scientific breakthroughs, do not...

Albert Einstein’s patents about 50 patents...no, he did not want to make money from his ideas; he was above that. But that is not the point Peter Thiel is making.

I was listening to a lecture by Peter Thiel. He argued that "scientists never make any money", and are "always deluded into thinking they live in a just universe that will reward them for their work, and this is probably the fundamental delusion that scientists tend to suffer from in our...

Elon Musk says SpaceX finally knows what caused the latest rocket failure http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/5/13533900/elon-musk-spacex-falcon-9-failure-cause-solved Elon Musk Offers Icy Explanation For Spectacular SpaceX Falcon 9 Explosion...

The software used by Philip E. Mason to make his "Detailed analysis of Spacex Rocket Explosion" video was Sony Vegas Pro. I downloaded it. To get a copy of the YouTube video to insert into Vegas Pro, this site was great: http://en.savefrom.net/1-how-to-download-youtube-video/ I placed the ss...

is a well done presentation of the SpaceX Falcon 9 explosion. The creator of this video, Philip E. Mason, does a nice job linking the sounds to the video and explosion. Greg... Mason talks some about the oddity that SpaceX did not have its own cameras recording this. Jonathon, is his idea about...

I posted on the NASA forum and asked what was at points A and B, in the last image I posted. A. Not a lot is there, but that is around the height of the LOX/RP-1 tanks common bulkhead. B. That is the frame for the cradle that supports the top of the vehicle.

Here is another observation from the video, http://rowvid.com/?v=_BgJEXQkjNQ Explosion frame 1 (EF1) produces an X, that we have shown earlier, and is shown here again, as the image on the left. Explosion frame 2 (EF2), shown on the right, has a wider and brighter X, and it appears slightly...
