Now Star Wars fans get to experience what Star Trek fans have been feeling for decades... Your favorite performers in your favorite roles are mortal. Sure, your character might get a Genesis resurrection, or turn into a Force Ghost, but eventually, the actors die. Then the copyright holders get to screw with your favorite memories by remaking your favorite films with completely different actors. It's worse than Life Day.
It gets worse. Hopefully Disney dosent own the rights to her likeness of we will see her appear in every subsequent film jar jar binks style. In the future, favorite stars will actually be immortal.
Have seen people access flight loads from employee databases on several major airlines. They always overbook a few seats, it shows right up in the system for all employees and pass riders to see on each system.
And yes, it is actually uncommon for everyone to make the flight when it's booked as there are always a few random problems in any large group.
It's not exactly just the gap that creates inefficient coupling but the ratio of the area of the field to the gap. Therefore on a car where the field is coupled across nearly the whole width the gap can be somewhat large compared to a phone and still not be too bad.
There are other gotchas though such as what if stray pieces of conductive material get in the way? If the vehicle is going to actually charge at a reasonable rate then some stray piece of metal can be a real problem in terms of picking up energy and heating. You could carefully monitor the power on both sides but it's hard to say if the difference is going to heat something. Another is broadcasting all kinds of errant emissions. When you broadcast that much power even little screwups like not parking in the exact right spot or minor damage to the bottom of the car could create tons of unwanted noise at all kinds of frequencies.
While it sounds cool to wirelessly charge, in reality it's likely to be far more practical and inexpensive to just use a plug.
There are actually some people who are either happy or at least nonplussed to be alone. Not everyone feels a deep seated need to talk about the weather or hear about trivial personal problems. Not everyone who lives alone degenerates into a curled up ball and mentally wastes away. But the day health risks are determined on an individual basis from a large pool of facts is far, far away. People like the security blanket statements that sum up a complicated condition into one handy catch phrase or statistic. Much like stereotypes, while statistically this study may be correct in general it certainly does not apply to everyone equally.
Easy, engineers are morons. They don't think about what PEOPLE need or want
You obviously aren't an engineer. Nor do you know many. Most engineers don't decide the features and performance requirements of the product. Either management or the customer does.
So the people writing the specs are morons. If someone gives you a recipe for a turd sandwich, you're going to make them a turd sandwich---or else you'll get fired for not doing your job.
Maybe you can ask them if they want lettuce or tomato on their turd sandwich. Maybe you can tell them that they have to choose between toasted and untoasted bread (because it's impossible to have both). But, in the end, if the spec is a turd sandwich then that's what you deliver.
I'm sure any programmer with an ounce of sense realized the implications of automatic updates and always-on telemetry. And most of them would never put that crap into the spec if they had any say in the matter. But they don't get a say. So enjoy your turd sandwich.
I don't know about you but I ordered a Giant Douche and instead got this Turd Sandwich... I'm outraged!
And it doesn't matter who the president is. Trump, Hillary, Vermin Supreme - it'll happen no matter what. It has nothing to do with politics, NAFTA, any of it. It's progress, it's capitalism, and it's going to happen.
We get the point, you don't need to go all doubly redundant on us.
The true measure of scientific fact is how well it survives the opposition trying to disprove it. Given that the opposition to climate change has given up on producing data disproving that the Earth is getting warmer on aggregate and instead resorted to attacking it politically, I would say it's doing pretty well as scientific theories go.
Nah, it's an intractable problem because there is only one earth. Better to burn all the research to the ground and call it a day.
Strangely enough trump petitioned scottland for variances to account for rising sea levels on his golf course there. But he wouldn't say one thing and believe/do another would he?
What you don't know can't hurt you. Obviously we need to defund NASA and move it to NOAA but in a crazy coincidence that money will get lost and go to pet projects. Maybe Trump will grab someone else by the pussy at the same time so the media talks about that instead of real issues.
There are about 10^15 tons of deturium in seawater, making each gallon of it as energetic as roughly 300 gallons of gasoline. Big questions are how efficient can we make this process, and at what price as well as if we can breed enough tritium from li6 from slow neutrons or 7 from fast ones if it's not a pure deturium reaction.
With glass to the edges it will have almost zero impact toughness. You can't use a case as it would fall off or obstruct the screen and you couldn't do things like scroll or click properly.
God forbid they actually put some rubber around the corners and make it a sane thickness.
Newer iPhones don't have a soldered in battery, though removal and replacement does require working knowledge of how to work with small electronic parts. I've replaced the battery on 4,4s,5,5s, and 6 phones all from eBay for around $4-6 each no soldering. While the quality can vary it's actually not that hard, the hardest part is pulling the tabs to correctly remove it like a command strip for hanging objects. You may be thinking of the iPod touch devices, those do have soldered in batteries. I'm not defending the practice of a no user serviceable battery, I personally think it's stupid and hope companies learn from the billion dollar Samsung fiasco.
3D Printing is hardware, not software, you can't just re-write and make it better for everyone instantly at virtually no cost. As soon as you produce a better piece of hardware you have to distribute it, make it sound good enough to people that bought your last hardware, make it sound better to those who haven't bought it yet.
Nonsense. I just download the newer schematics and hit the print button. In no time at all I've got the latest hardware model, cheap to free to make and distributed to everyone instantly for free. Thats how it's supposed to work right?
The real "gateway" drug where I got high as fuck and started to be interested in other drugs was given to me by my mom when I was about 6. Got what felt like a 64 ounce cup of Coke (was probably 16) and proceeded to drink it all at once. If you have never had caffeine and weigh about 40 pounds I guarentee you will get quite high.
Until the first batch of senators, congress critters, or other high officials or combination thereof suddenly gets thier dirt exposed and leaked via the FBI.
Since the self driving tech for trucks is at least an order of magnitude or two simpler for fair weather freeway driving than real city driving it's likely it will be implemented there first. You could probably cut the workforce in half or even more by employing drivers only at depots located next to freeways to ferry them the last mile or two within the city.
The government isn't going to let fully automated trucks run around with nobody to watch them any time soon, but they will slip these features into trucks to reduce driver fatigue. The driver is there to watch the truck, and the truck will also watch the driver and wake them up if they're passing out — but also not let them cream anyone. When the trucks can manage a good safety record with babysitters, then they'll be allowed to run around on their own.
You may be thinking too sanely. If the incoming administration is as hell bent on bottom lines and profit as any good CEO is this will be a reality in 4 years.
There are around 3.5 million truck drivers employed, not just the 1.8 in big rigs. They are all likely going to lose their jobs and very few of them will have other job experience or training to fall back on.

You could probably cut the workforce in half or even more by employing drivers only at depots located next to freeways to ferry them the last mile or two within the city. Even between cities in bad weather but that will likely will become automated soon enough. It could potentially eliminate 1.5 to even 2.5 million jobs within 5 years if done this way. Probably will bankrupt every truck stop along major freeways costing another 200k jobs.
On the bright side thus should employ a few tens of thousands to perhaps even 50k skilled H1-B workers. If anyone can think of how these people will find employment I'd be interested to know as I can't seem to think of how it is gonna happen.
meanwhile Brown and his GF were going on racist rants against white people but this was not really covered. Zimmerman is essentially Hispanic and took a black date to the prom.
Convert the technology to 3D stacked compact hydroponic indoor units powered by fusion reactors 24/7 and stack them up to 3 miles deep. Keep the worlds farm acreage and get 5,000-10,000x or more the food supply. Boost the cities into uninhabited areas not farmed with densities greater than New York or Tokyo.
Step 3 Boost the worlds population to 40 trillion.

"marijuana users will lead to early onset dementia, and low IQs."
Any studies showing a connection?... I'll wait...
Here you go.
Oh, you wanted a real source?
Can't we just declare it 2017 early and relegate this dumpster fire of a year to the past once and for all?!??

This will allow for more glass to be used as shrapnel when it explodes!
Yes, it is quite cutting edge indeed!
