Podcasts about Google Earth

  If you would like to travel back in time, you don't need to pack, you can just go on Google Earth to see what life was like in the last 20 years around the globe.  We're trying to pack up our offices for the move to our new studios in Riverview but life keeps getting in the way.  Before we got to Dave Barnes, we had to squeeze in our Midweek Praise Break featuring the songs, Worthy Of It All, O Come To The Altar, and Is He Worthy.  Bill shared the story of a woman...

News and Updates: Google Earth turns 20 — Google celebrates two decades of Earth exploration with historical Street View now added to Google Earth. Highlights include viral launches, disaster response after Katrina, aiding scientific discoveries, the Saroo Brierley story from Lion, and the viral #somewhereonGoogleMaps trend. 400 million Windows PCs vanished — Microsoft quietly revealed Windows active devices dropped from 1.4B in 2022 to 1B in 2025 as home users retire PCs without replacing them. The market is shifting toward business and mobile-first devices. Microsoft offers cheaper Windows 10 security updates — Instead of a $30 fee, consumers can now enroll in Extended Security Updates with 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points or by using Windows Backup on OneDrive. The Blue Screen of Death turns black — Windows 11's infamous BSOD gets a minimalist black redesign in version 24H2, ditching the frowny face and QR code in favor of a cleaner UI. Windows 11 restore points now expire faster — With the June 2025 update, system restore points in Windows 11 24H2 expire after 60 days instead of 90, requiring users to monitor backups more closely. Microsoft makes AI use mandatory for staff — Company leaders are pushing employees to adopt internal AI tools like GitHub Copilot, with some teams considering AI usage as a formal review metric starting next fiscal year.

Geese están de vuelta, enmendando errores del pasado y recogiendo aprendizajes de la etapa en solitario de Cameron Winter. Acaban de presentar el deslumbrante 'Taxes', con el que anuncian 'Getting Killed', el álbum producido por Kenny Beats que verá la luz en septiembre. Ya en su anterior trabajo dejaban entrever que sus raíces post-punk empezaban a diluirse, en parte por las inquietudes personales de Winter, que exploró en profundidad en su debut en solitario. En ese disco, llevó al máximo una de sus mayores virtudes: una voz afectada y arrastrada, perfecta para transmitir un océano de emociones.Playlist:Geese - TaxesCameron Winter - Love Takes MilesBig Thief - All Night All DayGoogle Earth - meow meowMaria Somerville - GardenJohn Glacier, Sampha - Ocean Steppin'Real Lies - Wild Sign I Choose YouSoulwax - All Systems Are LyingMarie Davidson - Fun TimesHot Chip - DevotionNation of Language - Inept ApolloTeo Planell - RadioJay Som, Jim Adkins - FloatNODEGA - QuantifyTurnstile - SLOWDIVEEscuchar audio

July is the crucial time to prepare for archery elk season by practicing shooting and improving cardio.- The podcast will discuss elk hunting strategies throughout July, progressing from basic to more advanced techniques.- Emphasis on improving shooting skills for successful elk hunts. The Life Outdoors: Ministry and Purpose- The Life Outdoors is a ministry that encourages spending time outdoors to discover spiritual truths and connect with God.- The podcast aims to help listeners understand their love for the outdoors and its deeper meaning.- Self-reflection on why one loves the outdoors is considered important for personal growth. Strategic Mindset for Successful Elk Hunting- Adopting a strategic mindset and creating a plan is essential for successful elk hunting.- Caution against being overly focused on killing, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the journey and learning from the experience.- Hunting should provide relaxation and spiritual fulfillment, not just the pursuit of a kill. Key Steps for New Elk Hunters- The first step is to identify areas that hold elk, considering game department resources and the accessibility of hunting locations.- The second step is to locate specific ground within those areas where elk are likely to be found, using tools like Google Earth to identify water sources and bedding areas.- The next steps involve figuring out how to hunt the elk on that ground, making a plan, and preparing for that plan. Finding Elk and Suitable Hunting Grounds- Focus on areas known to hold elk, utilizing resources like game departments to identify units with elk populations.- Consider the accessibility of hunting grounds within those units, as some areas may have elk primarily on private land.- Look for concentrated elk populations in areas with limited drainage, as these may be more productive than units with scattered elk. Ground Reconnaissance for Elk Hunting- Use Google Earth to scout for benches, water holes, and creek beds that elk frequent.- Look for northern slopes as potential bedding areas and old rubs as indicators of recurring elk presence.- Note that elk rutting behavior may vary depending on weather conditions, with drier years potentially leading to later ruts. Summer Scouting for Future Elk Hunting- Scout potential hunting areas in July to identify elk presence and movement patterns.- Focus on locating herds of cows, as they tend to stay in the same general area throughout the summer and into September.- Understanding elk movement patterns is crucial for developing effective hunting strategies.Elk Tips 2025 #1

Dans les pays de l'Alliance des États du Sahel, les politiques de construction de logements font régulièrement l'objet de fausses informations. Au Burkina Faso, au Mali et au Niger, ces infox voudraient faire croire que d'innombrables quartiers d'habitations luxueux seraient sortis de terre depuis les coups d'État. Le mode opératoire consiste à diffuser des images sorties de leur contexte, en affirmant, à tort, qu'elles auraient été filmées au Sahel. Le dernier exemple en date concerne le Burkina Faso. Une vidéo, mensongère, vue plus de 4 millions de fois sur les réseaux sociaux, prétend montrer la construction récente de centaines de logements neufs dans le pays. Durant onze secondes, on y voit des immeubles luxueux, à perte de vue. « Ce ne sont pas les États-Unis, mais le Burkina Faso », indique, à tort, une voix anglophone dans la bande son. Les comptes à l'origine de cette vidéo, parlent de « maisons distribuées gratuitement par le capitaine Ibrahim Traoré aux citoyens burkinabés ». Vérification faite, ces images n'ont absolument rien à voir avec le Burkina Faso. Un projet immobilier en Chine Pour géolocaliser cette vidéo, nous avons d'abord effectué plusieurs recherches par image inversée. Cela nous a permis de retrouver le même extrait diffusé par des comptes asiatiques. La légende parle d'un projet immobilier baptisé « Jinan's Ma Shan New Village », en Chine, dans le centre Ouest de la province du Shandong. En parcourant la zone sur des outils de cartographie satellite, comme Google Earth ou Yandex Maps, on retrouve bien nos immeubles, construits au nord de la localité de Feicheng. La vidéo a donc été filmée à 11 000 km du Burkina Faso. Un mode opératoire à la mode Ce type d'infox se compte par dizaines ces derniers mois. Des images de projets immobiliers du monde entier, de l'Algérie, aux États-Unis, en passant par le Maroc, sont sorties de leur contexte et diffusées au Sahel avec des légendes mensongères. Le phénomène concerne aussi d'autres types d'infrastructures, comme des gares, des ponts ou des stations de métro. Ce mode opératoire est particulièrement populaire au Mali et au Burkina Faso. Pour cause, ces infox sont simples à fabriquer, elles deviennent souvent virales et sont, à l'inverse, parfois difficiles à vérifier. Un écosystème de comptes de propagande à la manœuvre À l'origine de cette désinformation, on retrouve tout un écosystème de comptes actifs sur Facebook, X, WhatsApp et TikTok. Ce réseau d'influence, déjà impliqué dans plusieurs campagnes de désinformation régionales, diffuse quotidiennement la propagande des pouvoirs en place dans l'AES. Les indicateurs de viralité montrent que leurs contenus touchent une large audience. Dans les faits, des projets de construction de logements existent dans les pays de l'AES. Au Burkina Faso par exemple, le gouvernement a pour ambition de construire 50 000 logements à travers le pays d'ici à 2029. À ce stade, on ne sait pas combien ont été construits ni à quel prix ils seront vendus. Pour autant, les vidéos qui circulent en ligne sont loin de la réalité.

Industrial expansion has left an indelible mark on our natural world, fundamentally altering landscapes and ecosystems for the sake of material progress and modern convenience. This transformation has created an environmental challenge of unprecedented scale. In today's show, we'll connect the dots between the raw materials that make up our planet and the industrial forces visually altering our contemporary landscape in a chat with a photographer who's documented these profound global changes firsthand for the past 50 years. Applying visual principals rooted in abstract expressionist painting, Edward Burtynsky has explored a wide range of photographic tools in his image making—from large format film to high-res digital cameras mounted to the most sophisticated of drones. Included among our many discussion topics are his distinctive approach to translating a 3-D landscape to the flat plane of a photograph; his various methods for capturing aerials using either a helicopter, fixed wing aircraft, or various types of drones; and the early business epiphany that led him to open a photo lab as an income stream, rather than work as a camera for hire. As Burtynsky shares during our chat, about the connection between nature and industry: “You know, materials are an incredibly key part of modern society. And yet we need to go to sources in nature, where these materials are found. And I'm just reconnecting a reality that we still live in a material world, and our cities are built of molecules that came from somewhere, and I'm taking you to those places that are vast and huge.” Guest: Edward Burtynsky Episode Timeline: 2:58: Burtynsky's early interest in abstract expressionist painting combined with the magic and rituals of composing images with a large format camera 5:28: Planning for aerial views, the shift from using a minerals map in the past to Google Earth today, plus Burtynsky's shooting preferences between a helicopter and a drone and shooting open air. 10:22: Burtynsky's approach to translating a 3-D landscape to the flat plane of a photograph. 17:17: The planning and research behind Burtynsky's work vs the need to pivot in the field. 19:45: Adapting to technology over a 50-year career, and how it's shaped Burtynsky's process—from large format film to high end digital on a drone. 23:16: Episode Break 23:59: Burtynsky talks about permissions to access mines and industrial sites and how this has changed over time. 31:44: A wrong turn on the highway in 1981 and the photos that led Burtynsky to an epiphany about human-altered landscapes.  35:48: Burtynsky talks about forming his photo lab Toronto Image Works as a ballast to provide income in printing for other photographers while pursuing personal fine art photo projects. 43:38: Burtynsky's retrospective exhibit at the ICP in New York, his thoughts about the future of technology, plus recent collaborations with a young artist working in Artificial Intelligence.   Guest Bio:  Edward Burtynsky has spent more than 40 years bearing witness to the impact human industry on our planet. Regarded as one of the world's most accomplished contemporary photographers, Burtynsky's work is included in the collections of more than 80 museums worldwide and featured in major exhibitions around the globe. Born in St. Catharines, Ontario in 1955, Burtynsky's early exposure to a nearby General Motors plant and ships navigating the Welland Canal in his hometown captured his imagination, helping to formulate his ideas about the scale of human creation he would later capture in photographs. These images explore the collective impact we as a species have on the surface of this planet. A select list of Burtynsky's many distinctions include the inaugural TED Prize, the title of Officer of the Order of Canada, the International Center of Photography's Infinity Award for Art, a Royal Photographic Society Honorary Fellowship, and the World Photography Organization's Outstanding Contribution to Photography Award. Burtynsky currently holds nine honorary doctorate degrees, and in addition to his work in photography, he was a key production figure in the award-winning documentary film trilogy Manufactured Landscapes, Watermark, and ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch. All three films continue to play in festivals around the world.

Microsoft fa marxa enrere parcialment i allarga el suport gratuït de Windows 10 un any més... però compte amb la lletra petita. A més, coneixerem MU, la nova intel·ligència artificial de Microsoft, tan lleugera que pot funcionar fins i tot en el teu PC amb Windows 11.  Seguim amb una novetat que molts esperàveu: per fi podrem moure la barra d'adreces a la part inferior de Chrome per Android. I si sou fans de les curiositats digitals, Google Earth ara us permetrà rebobinar en el temps amb Street View —sí, literalment viatjar enrere!  També veurem el disseny espectacular del Galaxy Z Fold 7, i acabarem amb una proposta que podria canviar la mobilitat: un nou leasing social de cotxes elèctrics a Espanya, amb quotes per a tothom.  Efeméride: Tal día como hoy, 25 de junio de 2009, el mundo se paralizó con la noticia de la muerte de Michael Jackson, el “Rey del Pop”. Pero no solo fue un impacto emocional y mediático… también fue un colapso digital.  En cuestión de minutos, los servidores de Google y Twitter cayeron por la avalancha de búsquedas y mensajes. Google incluso pensó que se trataba de un ataque automatizado. Facebook y Wikipedia también sufrieron interrupciones. Fue uno de los primeros eventos globales que puso a prueba la infraestructura de Internet.  La muerte de una estrella que cambió la música moderna también marcó un antes y un después en cómo vivimos los grandes acontecimientos en la era digital. 

To celebrate Google Earth's 20th anniversary we discuss some of the new features the service offers.

Apple heeft zich aangemeld voor het subsidieprogramma van de Chinese overheid waarmee consumenten korting kunnen krijgen op onder andere smartphones, tablets en smartwatches. Dat is te zien op de Chinese site van Apple, waar de kortingen oplopen tot 2000 yuan - omgerekend 240 euro. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Het is voor het eerst dat Apple op deze manier meedoet aan het subsidieprogramma, dat begin dit jaar is opgezet door de Chinese overheid om de consumptie aan te jagen. Eerder konden Chinese consumenten al korting krijgen op iPhones via de verkoopkanalen van derde partijen, maar tot nu toe kon dat nog niet via de kanalen van Apple zelf. Waarom Apple meedoet zegt het bedrijf niet. Apple zou volgens marktonderzoeker IDC een verkoopdaling van 2 procent kunnen zien in China dit jaar, maar dat is nog zonder de impact van het subsidieprogramma meegerekend. Of de kortingen het tij kunnen keren voor de iPhone-maker is nog niet duidelijk.

Alberto Herrera, en "Herrera en COPE", el programa de Carlos Herrera, nos habla del misterio de la "pirámide" de la Antártida y de otros misterios del mundo. Una imagen de satélite de la Antártida, que muestra una formación rocosa con sorprendente forma de pirámide, llamó la atención de miles de usuarios en redes sociales y ha dado pie a una ola de especulaciones sobre su origen. Sin embargo, se esclareció el fenómeno: la estructura, visible en Google Earth y ubicada en la región sur de la cordillera Ellsworth, es el resultado de procesos geológicos y climáticos que han modelado el paisaje antártico durante millones de años. Voces del Misterio COPE: El misterio de la pirámide de la Antártida.

*Warning* Bad sound quality - apologies!In this special live edition of the AI/XR Podcast from Augmented World Expo (AWE) 2025, hosts Charlie Fink and Ted Schilowitz are joined by returning guests from Zappar, co-founders Connell Gauld (CTO) and Casper Thykier (CEO) and Auki Labs' CEO Nils Phil, to explore how AI and spatial computing are merging in real-world environments. The conversation spotlights Zapper's Mattercraft platform and its use of “accessible QR codes” to enable spatial navigation and real-time AR experiences without downloading an app. Nils introduces the idea of “collaborative machine perception” as a necessary condition for robots to navigate and work in the physical world—what he calls the “great reversal,” where AI exits the digital and enters the real. Later, XR Guild co-founder Avi Bar-Zeev joins to discuss ethics in XR, the need for community mentorship, and the importance of preserving the creator ecosystem in the age of AI scraping. The conversation closes with personal reflections on past projects like Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride, Google Earth, and HoloLens.Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!

En este episodio de Lo Misterioso, emitido en el espacio de Carlos Herrera en COPE, Javier Sierra nos invita a explorar los enigmas del continente más remoto y desconocido del planeta: la Antártida. El punto de partida es la viral aparición, hace años, de lo que parecía ser una pirámide perfecta captada por Google Earth en medio del hielo antártico. Aunque los geólogos han ofrecido explicaciones naturales —formaciones conocidas como nunataks esculpidas por la erosión y el hielo—, el fenómeno resurge cíclicamente en internet, reavivando teorías conspirativas y misteriosas. Sierra conecta esta "pirámide" con antiguas narraciones, como el relato de En las montañas de la locura de Lovecraft, y teorías sobre la Atlántida de Platón, que algunos sitúan en la Antártida. Además, el periodista plantea el enigma de ciertos mapas del siglo XVI, como los de Oronce Finé o Piri Reis, que parecen mostrar con precisión partes del continente antártico siglos antes de su descubrimiento oficial. El programa también menciona otros misterios geológicos como el muro de Bimini, la estructura submarina de Yonaguni en Japón, o curiosas formaciones en España como el Monte Castillo en Puente Viesgo. A través de todos estos casos, Sierra sugiere que el planeta —y quizá incluso otros mundos— está lleno de estructuras que oscilan entre lo natural y lo inexplicable, invitando al oyente a mantener viva la duda y el asombro.

In this podcast, Jon Westfall and I discussed: A significant portion of our conversation centered on the continuing proliferation of AI in consumer products. We noted an increasing sense of "AI fatigue"—the saturation of artificial intelligence in nearly every product and announcement. Although I am personally intrigued by developments in AI-generated video and imaging, especially from Google and Meta, I also find the AI trend overwhelming at times. I am even considering subscribing to Google One's AI Premium offering to further explore these capabilities, particularly for personal creative projects. We also speculated on potential announcements from Apple's upcoming WWDC, especially regarding artificial intelligence and whether Apple will finally deliver tangible AI features, following a less-than-smooth rollout of “Apple Intelligence.” I expressed hope for hardware updates, such as a refreshed Apple Watch Ultra or a more affordable version of the Vision Pro headset—rumored to be called the Vision Air. I noted that I recently began revisiting older episodes of this podcast, some dating back to 2008. I've started re-editing and publishing select episodes as audiograms. One of these featured an interview with the developers of Google Earth for iPhone, recorded in early 2009—just six months after the App Store's debut. It was particularly meaningful to hear the voice of my late friend Mike Morton, one of the app's original developers. We also touched on some of my ongoing technology experiments. I've been attempting to repurpose a 2019 AMD laptop that no longer supports Windows 11. My initial plan to install ChromeOS Flex was thwarted by hardware incompatibility, so I've shifted my attention to Linux Mint. Although I encountered issues related to UEFI preventing boot from a USB drive, I plan to revisit this project soon Jon offered a compelling perspective on the evolving role of AI in higher education. He discussed how he and other faculty are adapting to student use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, emphasizing the importance of transparency, responsible use, and pedagogical innovation. Jon's work in this area demonstrates a balanced, practical approach that integrates emerging technology while preserving academic integrity. We concluded the episode with a broader reflection on the societal implications of AI, particularly the concern that up to 50% of entry-level jobs may be impacted in the coming years. As someone no longer in the workforce, I observe these shifts with a mix of concern and curiosity, especially regarding how younger generations will navigate such disruptions. We acknowledged the historical cycles of technological change—from calculators and word processors to broadband and mobile computing—and how each brought both fear and opportunity.

Wayne Courreges III is a Marine Corps veteran and the founder of CRI Partners, a real estate investment firm focused on building generational wealth through multifamily and entrepreneurial assets. After a 16-year career in asset and property management with CBRE, Wayne transitioned full-time to real estate investing in 2023. He now leads a $50M portfolio that spans value-add multifamily, RV/boat storage development, and strategic commercial projects in Texas and the Southeast.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Wayne's journey from Marine Corps to CBRE to full-time real estate entrepreneur was fueled by long-term vision and layered income streams. Asset management and development experience allowed him to take calculated risks while building CRI Partners. His model includes multifamily investments (80%) and entrepreneurial projects like RV/boat storage and mixed-use developments (20%). For passive investors, education is key—ask the right questions, vet the sponsor, and understand the deal before wiring money. Taking action and surrounding yourself with experienced mentors are essential to building momentum and avoiding costly mistakes.     Topics From W-2 to Full-Time Investor Started investing while working in commercial real estate at CBRE. Created income through asset management fees, acquisition fees, and development work before making the leap. Made the switch when he realized he couldn't serve both CBRE clients and investors at the level they deserved. Why Multifamily Is Still the Foundation 80% of his portfolio is traditional value-add multifamily across Houston and San Antonio. Focuses on deals in strong, secondary markets with stable rent growth and access to workforce housing. Prioritizes transparency, conservative underwriting, and investor trust. Entrepreneurial Investments: RV, Boat & Business Storage Developed a 20x50 enclosed storage facility based on lessons from a successful Huntsville, AL deal. Business tenants include HVAC companies, disaster response teams, stagers, athletic companies, ranchers, and state agencies. Facility design and location (highway visibility, 100k+ population) drive demand and retention. Diversification Through Local Development Acquired and rezoned 12 acres for a 150-unit multifamily development and SpringHill Suites hotel in Bryan, TX. Emphasizes that high-risk projects like these are only pursued when they're local and manageable. Maintains a disciplined approach—stabilize one asset before scaling the next. Educating Passive Investors Created PassiveInvestorCoaching.com to help LPs learn how to vet sponsors, markets, and opportunities. Teaches how to assess underwriting, ask better questions, and avoid the most common mistakes. Encourages LPs to start small and grow confidence through informed investing.    

Despite covering over 70% of our planet, the oceans and seas remain largely unmapped and poorly understood. Collecting useable data about the oceans is hard and expensive--reliant on specialized costly vessels, old-school technologies, and plenty of labour. The comparison to land mapping technologies (like Google Earth) is stark--we have near-total visibility of land-based infrastructure, continuously updated, and collected by satellite. Subsea infrastructure, like pipelines and cables, are managed with minimal, outdated, and isolated datasets. This gap in oceanic intelligence is an increasing problem.  We're constantly adding new subsea infrastructure—cables, pipelines, risers, platforms—to support oil and gas, power, telecoms, mining, and military operations. At the same time, owners and operators are sailing blind, relying on static years-old surveys. And sea floors are pretty dynamic, subject to tides, currents, and human activity. You can really appreciate the mounting financial and operational risks—from infrastructure damage to safety concerns to project delays. Enter Terradepth, a data-as-a-service company that is bringing Silicon Valley smarts to subsea intelligence. In this episode, I speak with COO Kris Rydberg on how they're using autonomous vehicles and cloud infrastructure to drastically cut the cost of ocean data acquisition. The best part is how ocean data is now subscription-based, with high reusability across industries. This model reduces capital risk, improves predictive decision-making, and promotes multi-sector collaboration. 

In this episode of Best Websites, Lisa Louise Cooke offers tips for using Google Earth for genealogy.

In February 2021 a strange image appeared in Google Earth. What looked like a multi legged, sizeable organism was seen walking along the polar caps of antarctica.Antarctica is, on average, the coldest, driest, and windiest of the continents, and it has the highest average elevation. It is mainly a polar desert, with annual precipitation of over 8 in along the coast and far less inland. About 70% of the world's freshwater reserves are frozen in Antarctica, which, if melted, would raise global sea levels by almost 60 metres. Antarctica holds the record for the lowest measured temperature on Earth, −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F). The coastal regions can reach temperatures over 10 °C (50 °F) in the summer. Native species of animals include mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades. Where vegetation occurs, it is mostly in the form of lichen or moss. But could it be possible that this hostile environment could harbour giant invertebrates?

You've probably seen the photo.   "Earthrise" is one of the most significant photographs in the history of human civilization, and certainly the most iconic in space exploration. Taken by astronaut William Anders during the Apollo 8 mission, the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon, on December 24, 1968, this photograph captured the imagination of the world.   The image itself is remarkably simple, yet its impact was immediate and profound. It shows the Earth rising above the lunar horizon, with our planet's blue and white colors standing out against the stark, barren surface of the Moon, all surrounded by the black vacuum of space. Our little blue dot, floating in the vastness of the cosmos.   Fast forward to today, and we have thousands of satellites in orbit, looking back at us. These satellites perform a variety of critical tasks, from positioning, navigation, and timing to telecommunications. But above all else, they continue the legacy of "Earthrise" by keeping an eye on our planet.   Satellites today are active participants in managing and understanding our planet, monitoring weather, ocean currents, and topographical changes. They track the health of coral reefs, They play crucial roles in agriculture by predicting crop yields, in urban development by aiding city planners, and in disaster response by providing real-time data on natural catastrophes. Additionally, satellites are instrumental in climate science, measuring greenhouse gas concentrations, monitoring polar ice caps, and tracking health of coral reefs. They also contribute to conservation efforts by tracking animal migrations and monitoring endangered species.    —essentially, they take selfies of Earth.   Next time you open up Google Earth or a similar maps application, you're seeing the result of this advanced photographic technology. But unlike the modified Hasselblad camera used by Anders, today's satellites are far more sophisticated, and their power requirements are much more complex. The first lunar module was famously less powerful than the smartphones we carry in our pockets. When our phones run out of battery, we simply plug them into the wall and wait for recharge.   Satellites, however, face a different challenge entirely.   Space power design is a daunting task. Here on Earth, we can dispatch a service technician to fix issues as they arise. Up there, satellites are on their own. This is where advanced power management and delivery systems come into play, and the need for radiation-tolerant components qualified for space applications becomes critical. These systems must capture energy from solar panels and distribute it efficiently to each function within the spacecraft, often at ever-increasing voltages. There's no room for error; the components need to be installed and designed right the first time.   In sum, satellites have evolved from simple observational tools to complex systems that provide critical data for a wide range of applications, all aimed at making our lives better and our planet more sustainable. As we continue to push the boundaries of what these incredible machines can do, the importance of reliable and efficient power management systems cannot be overstated.   How can Microchip Technology power and drive the evolution of satellite technology?   Links from the episode: Rad-Hard MOSFET landing page - Radiation-Hardened Power MOSFETs | Microchip Technology Space brochure - Space Solutions Brochure   Guest: Oscar Mansilla

Two hundred years ago, geologists determined that there was never a worldwide flood.But the early geologists' conclusion--which continues to be believed today--is indisputably erroneous, according to Michael Jaye, Ph.D.Told in easily understood language, Jaye explains how geologists got it so wrong, and more importantly, he challenges their modern-day peers to examine foundational beliefs, especially in the presence of new map data. Along the way, he identifies and rectifies geology's historic error and its consequences, answering questions such as:Why do geologists believe that there was never a worldwide flood? How is this belief erroneous?How did submerged structures like Monterey Canyon form? What process do geologists ascribe to their formation?In what way are Google Earth and Google Maps similar to Galileo's telescope?With new map data revealing submerged rivers in more than two miles of water, it's clear that such a volume could only have a cosmic source.Jaye identifies the impact remnants, and he explains how its effects irreversibly changed Earth's ecosystem. Humans are among surviving species, but we find ourselves ill-adapted to the post-flood ecosystem.Discover a historical, scientific, and philosophical treatment of The Worldwide Flood--it will forever change the way you consider Earth and human history.Michael Jaye, Ph.D., recently retired as an associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He previously spent fifteen years teaching mathematics and its applications at West Point, New York. His interest in the worldwide flood began with Google Maps images of the Monterey Canyon system.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Mike shares stories from the homestead, including his dog chasing off a fox. Paranormal topics teased: haunted TVs, pyramids, and the bizarre superhero "Nun Man." 00:10:00 - Haunted television deep dive: The hosts discuss horror movies (Poltergeist, The Ring) and historical tech-related ghost stories. Early TV tech led to paranoia and ghost sightings, with theories even suggesting TVs might one day tune into the spirit world. 00:20:00 - Stories from the 1950s about ghostly faces burned into screens. Examples of TVs reacting to dog whistles and phone rings due to early remote tech. Some people blamed TVs for violent crimes or demonic possession. A bizarre UK broadcast interruption from 1977 features a message from the "Ashtar Galactic Command." 00:30:00 - The 2000 Crimea alien broadcast incident is discussed: a green humanoid appeared on TVs during the night, speaking an unknown language. A similar case happened in Portugal. The hosts speculate that TVs may induce altered states allowing alien contact. Mike critiques ghost tours that play up theatrics instead of treating the paranormal seriously. 00:40:00 - The haunted New Zealand parliament tour includes tales of mysterious deaths, ghost cats, and singing ghosts in the bathroom. Mike prefers serious presentations over costumed actors. A story is shared about a lawmaker's skull being stolen and recovered decades later. 00:50:00 - The “Nun Man” story unfolds: a Dominican man lived 22 years as a nun after being mistaken for a girl.

Shawn explores how Google got its start, how Alphabet makes money from seemingly-free services like Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Earth, and what to make of how AI and regulatory threats could reshape Alphabet's business model. Shawn paints a high-level picture of the most important things to understand about this incredible business and then goes through his process for valuing each individual business unit at Alphabet. You'll learn how Alphabet's different business units are structured, how they make money, and how Shawn assembles a “sum-of-the-parts valuation” for the company, plus so much more! Prefer to watch?
