OK after short thought a.56lb paper airplane would be huge and lighter than air (balloon) are by definition lighter than.5lb. The rock does remain though?
Mod parent up. Very interesting interpretation. Sine IANAL I do not understand the FAA jurisdiction but as implied above, FAA either is considering drones an "aircraft" and has jurisdiction or not and hence does not have anything to say...
I thought it takes a lot of hw to have a decent auto-pilot capability (laser rangers, video cameras, radars) . Apparently, Teslas were already equipped?
You certainly cannot use a phone without hands-free setup in California...but reading a book, napping or playing musical instrument (yup I did see this on I580 - she was playing a recorder) is probably ok?
So all in all did VW need to cheat? i.e. what benefits did they really acquire? Were their diesel better-speced then competition (fuel economy and power)? Were they saving on scrubbing devices?
It's (sadly) funny that the OS feature most taunted in second decade of 21th century is...GUI widget, even if it's an "app launcher" (gui shell, aka. desktop). Notably, "launchers" can be changed in android without sweat. Why not in Windows?
As other commented observed, EM radiation diminishes with a square of distance, rendering it undetectable over interstellar distances, unless star-power emitters are used, Ditto for gravity. Likewise with neutrino-base comms, except it's the probability of catching this one stream of neutrinos that would diminish with square of distance.
Why would one use any of the C-speed-limited comms through interstellar space (to justify existence of star-power EM for example)r? Other then a species that have very slow time perception (say feel a "day" is 1000 earth years to make such comms usefull to them)...how would they even evolve?
They (ET) would have to really target us as direction of comms...but how would they know we are even here, per above, and why would they even want to?
On top of that we have temporal alignment chance...
IMHO, There is a good chance life did develop on other planets, sadly there is a very slim chance we will ever know about it. But, SETI is like playing Lotto, slim chances of success when you play vs no chance if you do not play and but put your energy elsewhere.
Being a father of two and started to use digital cameras in last century, I collected sizable archive. It's too easy to take them and costly to process them. After each session (vacation, getway, event) I quickly sit down and process them using Picassa. Delete ones that are grosly bad, let my wife have a pass too, then adjust the rest. Last step is to download them to my picture frames which I build from old laptops. This is where the fun is as my fam constantly sees the pictures and we often stop and marvel and refresh our memories. Actually I am thinking about buying a ~40" tv and rebuilding it into a monster picture frame with DLNA.
And backup on several USB external drives, kept in different locations so I do not loose them to fire or theft. When I run out of space on older drives, get a new one but keep the old.
The only reason a smart person would want to work there is golden handcuffs. There must be something material ($$$) that most long time employees get there. Or they are not smart. Slaves did not have a choice to quit slavery. People under Mao or other communism regimes could not quit also. Pyramids were build presumably without forced labor...but you got gods' blessing. Manipulation and promises go only so long (hence attrition rates?). But given some products coming out of amazon (Fire Phone anyone) I have doubts there are many smart people left at Amazon.
Very similar experience. It is hard to adjust to standing whole day initially - I use very soft shoes and a gel mat. However, on the days I stand I feel very physically tired after I get home. So I do often lower it (electric) and use a tall "saddle-like" seat, sometimes half standing/leaning against it. The seat helps mainlining good back posture.
May back pains was gone after a month or so - I could sleep again. But I also started to attend Pilates classes in addition to a daily hour of ping-pong.
No, it's outsourced because it can be done remotely and it's high cost. Opposite example is burger flipping - has to be done locally and it's low cost.
Actually, a linux based "documentation reader" could have been more stable if designed with this single purpose in mind. At the least it could have been a closely controlled software environment (known, tested and not auto upgrading).

Does throwing a .56lb rock falls under this as well? Or a paper airplane? What is my kid let go of a party balloon?

If Nexus line is any indication, that will switch through every car manufacturer?
So why not vacuum?
Is it much harder to achieve UHV than filling the cavity with inert gas?
Who is financing this effort and why?
No sharing according to this?

I suppose the issue is that the WIFI radios are capable of using unlicensed to them bands, which is under fw control?

2h limit can be enforced (same to downtown parking) by an automatic self driving to/from recharge station?
Then let the AI fight over who was first?
"real men do not use fists, they use their AI" :-)
Now this can be fixed because it has:

really? that is what they are famous for?
I have to google it...ah for cars:

Perhaps TFA misses something?
Assuming rental market traces real estate pricing, how do you "not participate"? Is your family homeless?
Using solar energy to compress the gas instead of leaking it?
What?
Is the engine getting scared over the water?
Does it shiver?
It's not a darn hover board, is it?

Which users do they count?
Desktop only?
And if ~60GHz bands are used, it stops working when it rains...(oxygen absorption).

But not just because it's LINUX.
