F= G M1 M2 / R ^ 2

This dude of dudes in 2, completely built 1 and is spending $100,000 to “install” it somewhere. After putting it there, he is going to use that funky thing he is wearing to control 1. When he is done putting it there, he will be the first person to have done something like that on his own.

Who is he? What is 1?

Show Answer

This is Hojun Song, who built a privately funded satellite called GOD – global orbiting device. The funky remote he is wearing makes the satellite emit morse code when people hold his hands. Kind of hard to explain, please to see this article

We lost a few comments

—devadutta @ 22:19

Ladies and Gents,

Due to a database error and disjoint backup images, we have lost a few comments on questions posted over the past few days.
If you notice your answer is missing, please re-post it.

Update: We have opened comments on all questions posted in the last 15 75 (thats seventy five :) ) days

Update 2: Just because we have opened comments on 75 questions, it does not mean we have lost comments on all of them. We have lost a few comments posted in the range of 15-17th Sep.

We have a very super extra complicated way to check if your comment is indeed missing, but we will not do that. We will just trust you and give points :)

Identify this Turing Award winner, who at the age of 26 invented an algorithm which has now become the most popular way to do what it does :)

P.S: If you are a CS student, there is no way you have not studied his algorithm, unless you were in VTU and decided to skip the entire unit and “prepare” for only 4 questions :)
