ArcaSpace is primarily a private space company, and one of the original 26 teams that competed in the Ansari X Prize competition in 2004. (It also entered the Lunar X Prize competition, too, before pulling out in 2013.) But early this morning the company released a video that shows off the "ArcaBoard," a fan-powered rectangle that can lift a person off the ground by almost a foot.



ARCA Space Corporation announced today that it has created "ArcaBoard". For the first time in history, every person will be able to fly whenever they want, wherever they want. ArcaBoard represents the first revolutionary breakthrough in motion since the the bicycle, automobile and airplane.






ArcaBoard, an electric powered flying machine with 272 horsepower and 203,000 watts of installed power is the most powerful and lightest personal vehicle ever created. ArcaBoard represents total freedom of movement, total freedom of travel. ArcaBoard is a personal vehicle that can move in every possible direction including upwards. The retail price is $19,900 and is available for order now. Shipments will start April 15, 2016.

“ArcaBoard represents a revolution in motion. For the last 17 years we have developed aerospace technologies that looked to the sky. We took our knowledge and applied it to everyone’s dreams. Dreams of flying,” said Dumitru Popescu, CEO of ARCA Space Corporation.

ArcaBoard is built from composite materials, it has a length of 145x76x15 cm (57x30x6 inches) and a weight of 82 kg (180 lbs). This technology allows a person with a weight up to 110 kg (243 lbs) to be able to fly.

The vehicle is able to fly up to 30 cm (1 ft) and with speeds up to 20 km/h (12.5 mph) and the overall performance is limited by the onboard sensors. The maximum endurance is 6 minutes, but with the ArcaDock accessory the user can be back in action in 35 minutes.



Regarding the price quoted in the website as $19,900 but thats huge and people who are seriously into it could efford and the Orders will ship starting April 15, 2016 .

So this looks like we are seriously getting more efforts without having any specific tracks to run like lexux.it looks like the immediate future of the hoverboard is still grounded.

Reasons not to buy Akaso action camera if you are from india

By
Recently I made a full review of the action camera I brought after doing a ton of research and time. Having used it for a couple of months I feel extremely glad that it meets up to my expectations. But recently, I accidentally tipped off the camera without an external case and it cracked my lens. This, in turn, added a shady spot on my phone or video and I cannot use that anymore (Some phones of the cracked lens below)     I immediately mailed the akaso team to ask if there is anything they could do but unfortunately, this was their response. Oops, that was not what I was expecting and then I asked them I could get any details of the replacement parts or anything like that so that I can order it online. But that didn't happen it took a lot of time for them to respond me back(I have been bugging them on Facebook and email).  But after some time they left me with this response which I had no other choice but to accept. After getting the 50%re...

Are you wasting your valuable local resources and internet building your Docker images in your local machine, then its time to shift the gear towards using docker hub.

THM — RUST — [task 13] challenge - writeup

By
Before starting this you must get familiar with all the previous tasks and run some code in the tasks and get familiar with error handling and using crates. If you have difficulty completing the previous tasks here is a walkthrough video of them. TryHackMe — learn Rust — [Task 13] : So as given the string is already encrypted and all you have to do is to decrypt in the order of rot13 -> base64 -> ROT13 -> plaintext and find the flag. To do that you can head to https://crates.io/ to find external packages which will decrypt the text for you out of the box, so search for packages such as base64 and rot13 to make use of them to use them in our code. So here are some packages which I used cipher-crypt = “0.17.0” base64 = “0.12.3” will use cipher-crypt for rot13 and base64 for base 64 decryption. So now you can add them to your dependencies in Cargo.toml file(as below) Now you are all set to use the packages it in your code. Then you can import these packages in your code as be...
