Re:As long as the security isn't proper id...
The true cost isn't the dollars, it's the time required to obtain an ID card. When the nearest office is 2 hours away, and your boss will fire you if you take an entire day off from work to go there, it becomes pretty much impossible. Statistically, minorities are more likely to be in that situation, but it's really just as much an attempt to discriminate against the poorer working population as it is racial discrimination.

Whaa? Investment from the government is not socialism. Socialism is government control of the means of production. The internet was started so that US right wingers could nuke the Soviet Union and survive the retaliatory strike. That's not even close to socialism.

Hydrogen? They mean natural gas
There are no mines or wells to bring up hydrogen from the earth. Given current sources of electricity for electrolysis and how hydrogen is predominately formed this is a truck that burns natural gas. There are already natural gas trucks on the market, Kenworth announced they'd have some in 2104.
https://www.kenworth.com/news/...Given that T. Boone Pickens has been talking about his "Pickens Plan" on energy policy for 10 years now moving transportation fuel to natural gas is far from new.
https://www.ted.com/talks/t_bo...Cut out the middle man from natural gas to moving cargo and just use natural gas in the trucks. What hydrogen does is add the costs and losses in running power plants on natural gas for water electrolysis, or using that natural gas in steam reformers. Natural gas trucks exist now, they have better range than these hydrogen trucks, and I'm guessing that they cost less to make and maintain. Natural gas reduces particulate emissions, NOx emissions, CO2 emission, and other air quality problems.
If we burn natural gas in trucks instead of for electricity then where do we get our electricity? Pickens endorses wind and nuclear, and I believe he's right about that. Pickens admits his plan is a "bridge", a plan that alone is not a permanent solution because the natural gas will run out at some point. Something will have to replace even natural gas at some point. How long can natural gas last? Decades at least, if not centuries, so it's not like investing in natural gas will be a loss for someone buying a fleet of trucks, the trucks will have plenty of natural gas for the life of the truck.
What's one possible endpoint for the Pickens Plan "bridge"? Synthesized fuel. The US Navy has been researching how to turn electricity and seawater into jet fuel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...This synthetic fuel process from the US Navy doesn't have to produce only jet fuel, it can produce hydrocarbons of any length on that carbon chain, from methane (the primary component of natural gas with one carbopn) to cetane (primary component of diesel fuel with 16 carbons).
Synthetic fuels from this process the Navy is researching produces hydrogen as part of the process, they just take one more step of grabbing carbon (from CO2 dissolved in the water) and attach it to the hydrogen to make fuel. The Navy is intending this electricity to come from a nuclear power plant on a large warship but the electricity can come from anywhere, and the water can come from anywhere it is exposed to the air and dissolves the CO2 from the atmosphere. It closes the carbon cycle so this fuel is as "carbon free" as anything else.
I expect any plans to use hydrogen as transportation fuel to fail, unless that means of transportation is a rocket. It's just far easier and cheaper to cut out the hydrogen middle man and burn natural gas for cleaner running trucks. If the concern is CO2 output even from the natural gas then produce "synthetic natural gas" (or rather "substitute natural gas" since synthetic and natural are opposing terms) and introduce that into the existing natural gas infrastructure.
Hydrogen is a terrible fuel, especially since it's not really a "fuel" as most people understand it since it does not exist as something we can just dig up out of the ground. This Toyota truck burning hydrogen is a stupid idea and there are already existing solutions that are far easier and cheaper to implement.

Re:this could be a good thing
What you post is partially true. There is a more serious problem. I was absolutely working my ass off at the gym for years and would hit plateaus and really struggled to control my weight. I was "eating healthy" or far healthier than your average American for instance--with restricted calories tracking every morsal. Eating refined sugar triggers your body's metabolic systems to immediately store fat. Not because you are eating too many calories but because of a chemical reaction that is thrown like a switch. One can of coke is too much added sugar for one day. Most people, even those who do not drink soda, are getting way more sugar than their body can handle.
How many people have you talked to who said they lost weight by eliminating soda? Add up the calories and convert it to the equivalent weight gain/loss and you will see that there is no way the calories alone could have solved for the lost/gained weight. -

We ALREADY have studies showing IQ drops simply having their phone known to be within range distracts them EVEN if they know it is OFF!

Re:Prove you got there.
I'm no moon landing conspiracy theorist but the combination of losing the Saturn blue prints and not having a viable ship to get to the moon and not having space suits that can allow a person to survive on the moon a pretty strong factors to consider.
I don't usually respond to ACs, especially when they're spouting easily and repeatedly debunked conspiracy theories. But, in the interests of correcting the internet:
YouTuber Curious Droid, who creates videos about lots of rocket and aeronautic history, just recently put out a video about recreating the F-1 engine. Short answer: the blueprints aren't lost, but they do not contain all the necessary information about how to make the engine. A lot of that information about assembly technique was not well documented. Each engine, although more or less the same, was practically hand-made by skilled technicians.
NASA does have suits that went to the Moon. For instance, the Smithsonian has been carefully restoring and documenting Armstrong's lunar EVA suit for permanent display. I am a backer of that successful kickstarter effort, and have been getting regular updates as they prepare for its debut next year (50th anniversary). -

Conspiracy idiots/trolls
I'm no moon landing conspiracy theorist but the combination of losing the Saturn blue prints
Evidently you are a moon landing conspiracy theorist because you could have easily verified that we still have the blue prints for the Saturn V as well as the Rocketdyne F1 engines used in the Saturn V. That isn't the problem with rebuilding them though. Here is a video explaining why we cannot simply remake the Rocketdyne F1 engines in their original glory. Short version is that the blue prints don't record a lot of important details about HOW these were actually fabricated. Each engine was custom made by hand by skilled individuals who didn't record every detail about how they did what they did. And even if they had, we don't make things the same way today so the design doesn't really make any sense to replicate anymore.
and not having a viable ship to get to the moon and not having space suits that can allow a person to survive on the moon a pretty strong factors to consider.
There is an example of the ship used to get to the moon in the Smithsonian museum as well as the space suits actually used. Furthermore all the hardware is still there on the moon to be inspected if you care to get close enough to look for yourself.

Re:Regular orders or filling back orders?
300 miles - you're talking about the Kona. Hyundai expects it to be EPA rated at 250 miles combined for the more expensive variant. Remember that Model 3 LR RWD range actually measured in at 334 miles EPA; Tesla deliberately downrated it so that all variants (including LR P) would get the same EPA range. The long-range Kona will come in somewhat more expensive than the 220 mile Model 3 SR (not out in the US either), but less expensive than the 310/334 mile Model 3 LR. Basically priced in the same range. But you get a small CCS-charging "normal performance", somewhat awkward handling econobox. The CCS charging aspect is key, since CCS is a terrible patchwork. Which we've gone into before - you gave me Ireland as an example (trying to pick a place in western Europe where you thought CCS would outshine the Supercharger network), I pulled up the stations along the most obvious highway route, and half of them had spent significant amounts of time down, leaving people stranded. CCS is junk. This might change, but as it stands, it's terrible. Mostly 50kW (in practice ~44kw-ish), which is just way too slow for normal people on road trips. And even on higher power chargers, while Kona might compare to an old Model X (snicker) in distance per unit time, it doesn't even come close to Model 3 charge rates (distance per unit time). Model 3 is - contrary to Bjørn's assertion - a more efficient vehicle (compare EPA ranges to battery sizes, compare drag coefficients and masses, compare realized MPH charge rates, etc - Bjørn's Model 3 testing was on non-aero rims, sport tires and with an extra passenger, vs. Kona with no passenger on eco tires and aero rims, and the comparison done at low speeds which cancels out the aero advantage). And Model 3 has vastly higher charge powers. Model 3 LR, for example (we don't have SR's curve yet) can charge for nearly the Kona's entire range than the Kona's peak power - which it has to start ramping off of in the 50s. And here we're just talking about V2 superchargers. V3 comes out this fall, and Model 3s are already designed to make use of them.
Lastly: Hyundai's "autopilot" is terrifying.
Please don't take this as me "hating on the Kona" too much. I'm only "hating on the comparison". As far as non-Teslas go, I think the Kona is a standout. Unfortunately, I'm also pretty convinced that it's just a compliance car. Like the Ioniq. Hyundai only plans to produce 40k Kona + Niro EVs globally. Which is just nothing. If they were making a profit on it, they'd make them in much greater numbers.

Re:Now this is the /. I remember!
Thanks for the YouTube link.
Wow! That's an VERY interesting bit of music trivia. That "Spaced" track is from 1969 too! It lasts a little longer, but dam, that THX version was _definitely_ inspired / ripped-it-off! That's pretty cool you know Paul Beaver too.
Interestingly enough Iannis Xenakis's 1953 song "Metastasis" @0:30 has a similar, but slightly different glissando. I wonder if Paul Beaver knew about it?
It is almost comical to see a phrase of music become popular 14 (or 30) years later. Shame that Beaver & Krause was never acknowledged.
> "Spaced", or rather the final movements of it now called "Deep Note", was used at the very beginning, as the House Lights were slowly brought down, and the deep Blue Stage Lights were slowly brought up, and
...You wouldn't happen to know what year that happened by chance? Before 1983 ?

Once you can start moving around small moons, kind of makes more sense to circumnavigate the galaxy, rather than just change orbit.
Lets face it by far the most interesting thing is this galaxy is watching a primitive race go from camp fires to colonising other worlds around other stars. Parking your artificial moon over that (probably have to share space, can't have thousands of moons overhead, kind of look pretty suss), well, think of the all the stories unfolding before your eyes, whilst you live in boringly safe automated comfort, of course quantum remote measurement at a distance and you could actually feel the emotional chaos (probably be a bit addictive and cause real psychological harm, no unlicensed monitoring, let alone driving). Why, bliss, shared wonder and joy, oddly enough an underlying life mechanic because it propagates out, it scales from the smallest expression of life to the greatest and beyond.

I think it's quite inaccurate to refer to the USA or the military-industrial complex as slaves. It's true, there is a lot of jockeying for position among the elites of the world given the quickly evolving mechanisms of data gathering and oppression, but the more acute case of domination is by the elites (taken as a whole) over the masses (taken as a whole). Those that murder thousands with their bombing, oppress millions with their regulation, and enslave billions with their taxation are the true terrorists, the true criminals, the true predators of mankind.

Re:Now this is the /. I remember!
My favorite sound effect, if you can call it that, is the creepy sort of buzzing V'Ger sound in TMP. You hear it by itself around 2:15 in the Klingon battle theme and a few other times in that piece. It's also used elsewhere in TMP and I believe once in TWOK. It's made with a huge instrument called a blaster beam and has a very dark, large, and creepy sound to it. Roddenberry-era (TOS & early TNG) era had great sound effects and incidental music. Grindstaff's sounds and Alexander Courage's scores were great. TOS had some really good incidental music until Rick Berman took over and fired Ron Jones, who wrote many memorable scores including The Neutral Zone (first use of Jones' Romulan theme), Q Who, and The Best of Both Worlds.

Re:Impressive
They used a 3D model for training, then moved to the real world. Physics in the model don't match physics in the real world, so they randomized some aspects of the model (like gravity) so the network wouldn't overtrain to the wrong physical environment.
Their current method took a lot of work (CPU time, space) and at the moment is basically useless (and in many cases performs worse than the shown video according to tfa), but it seems there is a lot of potential for improved efficiency here. It's not going to develop to strong AI, but it might be possible to develop the technique to where it can dramatically improve robo soccer, for example. -
Re:As we watch the world burn
Nonsense, let's consider some things that are tough to dismiss.
Look at this - https://www.businessinsider.co...
Are you going to tell me that those settlements weren't there even though they've carbon dated it? We've been warmer before. A lot warmer, recently geologically speaking. That's a real wake up call that you really should have a problem with.
If you were at the spot where the Romans landed the first time, you'd be 30' higher than the sea is today. They've found it. It was published though the page with the pictures and such don't seem to be online any more. Wonder if they'll wipe out those Greenland settlements too since they don't fit with their story either.
As for the so called grade school experiments, sure that's a good experiment to mislead people. Sun light isn't like an incandescent. Being a real scientist I know that, you don't seem to however. With your grade school science you should realize that if CO2 really were what is causing GW it would be a lot hotter now based on the concentrations. Models have fallen apart. Basic science says if your theory has even one counter example, it's wrong. Same with Einstein and relativity, same with MMGW. We've had plenty of counter examples over the past 20 years.
I think I was the very first one to point out that Hansen was wrong when he said the 1990s was the warmest decade on record for the 20th Century. It was actually the 1930s. He (in my opinion) lied and tried to say it was a y2k glitch. y2K glitch my foot. The glitch was he was caught, by me and a bunch of other real scientists. No time to change the data, he was caught. Just think about that a minute. So just on that data how can it be CO2? You should be having some REAL problems by now.
Maybe you'll listen to a real scientist? They try to say he isn't, yet he was a recognized scientists by the American Meteorological assoc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... He has since passed on.
I don't expect I'll change your mind. The brain washing is strong out there.

Software companies can sit in their office and "release" the software via the net, and keep part of it on servers in their offices. Before high speed internet penetration was everywhere, the only way they could get paid was by shipping you the entire software physically or they wouldn't get paid.
The internet allows tech companies to force policies on ignorant consumers because the literate consumer base cannot hold them accountable. You'd need physical proximity to the business for your anger and discontent to effect company policy. The free market is dead and has long since been so, the internet removed any last bit of consumer power consumers had.

Re:Just to set the record straight
You joking? The mainstream media that we know for a fact was colluding with the Democrats to throw the election for Hillary? We have hard proof; Wikileaks confirms. Freedom of the Press does not imply Honesty of the Press. The media tells only the story that confirms its own view, that in the end it was incapable of seeing an alternative outcome and of making a true risk assessment of the political variables - reaffirming the Hillary Clinton camp's own political myopia. This defines the parallel realities in which liberals, in their view of themselves, represent a morally superior character.

What Milbank described was despicable. Unfortunately for Milbank and the Washington Post's credibility, someone filmed the event and posted the film on YouTube. Panel discussants, including Frank Gaffney and Brigitte Gabriel, made important points in a courteous manner. Saba Ahmed, the peaceful Muslim, is a "family friend" of a bombing plotter who expressed a specific desire to murder children. It soon became clear that Milbank was, as one blogger put it, "making stuff up."
CNN cuts off congressman when he mentions Wikileaks with Clinton.
Ex-CBS reporter's book reveals how liberal media protects Obama
Compilation of CNN & MSNBC Cutting Guests Mics to Protect Hillary Clinton
The entire media endorsed Hillary.
CBS's John Dickerson: http://www.mediaite.com/online...">Donald Trump Didn't Ruin the Press's Reputation, We Did That Ourselves.
Here's the media changing headlines to attack Trump on dozens of occasions.
Look at all these respected journalists express surprise, dismay, and a total lack of understanding that Hillary lost. They even admit it: "I genuinely do not understand America."
Journalists don't want the media to stop being partisans, they just want them to be *more effective* partisans! To be more effective at beating Trump. The assumptions and goals are the same - Trump is evil, he should be destroyed. It never occurs to the media or their "critics" that the media is not supposed to have any skin in the game...you can only "lose" if you are fighting an opponent...and THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
What bothers me the most about the media is that not only are they horribly prejudiced - they don't even seem to be able to recognize their prejudice. That's so bad.

Re:Just to set the record straight
You joking? The mainstream media that we know for a fact was colluding with the Democrats to throw the election for Hillary? We have hard proof; Wikileaks confirms. Freedom of the Press does not imply Honesty of the Press. The media tells only the story that confirms its own view, that in the end it was incapable of seeing an alternative outcome and of making a true risk assessment of the political variables - reaffirming the Hillary Clinton camp's own political myopia. This defines the parallel realities in which liberals, in their view of themselves, represent a morally superior character.

it is eroding the power of the US PetroDollar
how much in debt is the USA? and how much deficit spending keeps getting piled on the debt every year? that debt has basically turned the USA and its massive military-industrial complex in to the slaves of the global banking cartel, so this will only invite more wars for the banking cartel since they want to control all the worlds money with a central bank in every nation https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Mainstream spin
It dosent help when mainstream media spins truth by omission or outright misinformation. The best example I've seen is when a CNN reporter huffs supposed nerve agent off a backpackas if that were a viable or even fucking sane method of chemical weapon detection. Reporting the chemical attack happened in douma before any investigation or even interviewing anyone, when in reality the OPCW report found no evidence of chemical weapons or the decomposition products in any of the tests, or in the bodies of the deceased. It's obvious bullshit like this that makes people not trust the mainstream media, pushing them toward alternate sources.
The solution is to teach people how to vet facts and information for themselves but unfortunately this needs to be done from a very young age or the blind trust of faulty sources and incorrect facts gets permenantly baked into thier brains and we have the current crisis of who will fact check the fact checkers.
