But either way there is a huge gender gap in the privacy issue (see Don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D...). A lot of young people just do not have anything to hide. Either they understand that anything written online is ultimately completely public, and censor accordingly, or they do not censor, and are OK with anyone and everyone knowing what they wrote. I have said some controversial things in my time online, but I have no interest in hiding any of them from anyone, I will stand by my statements, or at least admit to at one time saying them. All while still understanding and believing in basic rights to privacy. Sometimes people need privacy, I have never felt this need personally (other than being glad that the government does not watch me go to the bathroom and that is is still possible to break the law if it does not hurt anyone else).
Maybe sociality unacceptable, but sometimes it can be useful. LinkedIn does not give its users the ability to play weed farmer, or like 50 different pages to do with using illegal drugs, or liking to Lil Wayne.
Coffee makers make a little or as much coffee as you want. If you want one cup, only put one cup or water and a proportionate amount of grounds. And you have the added benefit that while brewing many cups of Keurig is a linearly hard problem (meaning that it takes 20 times longer to brew 20 cups), conventional brewing is not. When you actually in a situation where you are brewing a lot of coffee, the conventional method becomes more efficient per cup.
Any computer programmer should be able to tell you which is the overall more efficient solution for the general situation.
It is easy to launch someone into the air with just a moderate amount of explosives, or a jet engine strapped to your back, doing so in a slow controlled manner when we are talking at least 300 pounds of human, their gear, and the jetpack itself is a whole lot harder. Add to that this engine or rocket has to be in direct contact with a living human being for an extended period.
Practically, you are not going to create a solution light enough to carry around just in-case it is needed. Maybe you could create something that is usable, but it will be so heavy that, best case scenario, it would just be carry-able by a single man without too much extra gear, and more likely it would be a very limited range vehicle that needed to be transported to where it was to be used by plane or truck.
I don't understand. How is Google supposed to fix every wrong map listing? Does he have an algorithm to spot more of the fake listings? And how is this a security flaw, when there is no way to fix it? Ya, you can post any phone number you want in many different places, and label it as for the FBI, it just illegal to pass yourself off as a government agent. If it were me, I think I just world of arrested him.
But reading the original article, it starts to make sense when he mentions making a decision based on having just watched The Rock. I don't think this guy has all his marbles, and the FBI did not want to arrest a mentally challenged guy and charge him with breaking past their security.
But putting them on a placebo is far safer than putting them on these new untested drugs. Often the placebo will actually also do better at curing/treating the patient, as well as avoiding the nasty, often deadly, side-effects. There are prescription drugs out there right now that have been clinically prove to do a less good job at their purpose than a placebo, so some random untested drug that in all likelihood has serious side effects, and has yet to be proven to be even minimally more effective than a placebo is less safe than a placebo.
I do not see how something that is more likely than not to be a superior treatment can be considered in violation of ethics.
It sounds like there are many use cases where it is basically necessary. Their are people out their who need more powerful drugs, and this is simply safer than taking 20 Tylenol a day.
It would seem extremely reactionary and short sited of healthcare professionals ban this drug because it might increase the risk to abusers over the short term.
30K is not mainstream. I bet they are operating at a huge loss with those numbers. Other cars sell in the millions in America alone, every single year.
And the average person does not read car reviews. they watch advertisements on TV, and occasionally watch news articles. Articles that have primarily been about when a new Tesla car mysteriously catches fire. 90% of everything I have heard about Tesla cars is the different ways they can and do catch fire.
"last year Tesla used a bit more than one-third of the auto industry's electric-car batteries, and that was with only selling 22,477 cars. " Also, I just looked it up and it looks like in the US, last year, sold about 15.6 million new cars in 2013.
From what I understand each one of these gets a single battery in general. So that is 15.6 million batteries, by the conventional guys. Now in addition to that Tesla apparently used half again (aka 1/3 of both combined). => 7.8 million batteries.
And that is in only 22,477 cars. So now we can answer the question of how many batteries a Tesla car uses. 7.8 million / 22,477 = about 350 per car.
I think, I might just of figured out why so many of these cars are catching on fire.
"Consumer Reports Says Tesla Model S Is Best Overall Vehicle"
OK, so I guess they are recommending that that the army sell its jets, and planes, and boats, and cars, and tanks to replace them with this electric consumer grade car, as it is the "best" vehicle; Clearing better than 747s and apache attack helicopters.
Even such a thing as a best consumer grade car is a rather suspect title, expanding that to best vehicle is beyond absurd.
*With a few tiny caveats. 1. You forgot that 3D printers require electric power to run. 2. You forgot the 3D printers require 3D printer "ink" in slightly more mass than the objects they print. Ink that is just slightly more complicated than dumping buckets of lunar dust into the 3D printer. 3. You forgot that 3D printers can print shapes, not functioning solar panels.
But even so, I am not so sure. There is a huge huge difference between using someone else's idea to get rich, and a kid singing happy birthday or drawing a picture of spider-man or simply looking at something that is copyrighted without paying the rights holders. And that does not change when it is a kid sharing a VHS with a friend or a ripped DVD with 100.
I think you are under estimating the amount of machinery it takes to turn a mountain of rock, dirt, and minerals into a field of solar panels. The infrastructure required for that would likely eclipse the 11,000 KM stripe of solar panels. If you wanted to manufacture sophisticated stuff like that on the moon, you would need it to be as the last step of a 200 year plan to start mining/industry/living on the moon.
That would be hilarious. Something goes wrong, and every car is automated, so you just get car after car calmly driving their passengers to their death in a giant sink hole, or something.
Actually, I was wrong. There are actually leagues in America which only allow Asians to join, and there was an attempt at a white one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-American_Basketball_Alliance_(2010)).
And I would not worry too much legally. There are thousands of women/black clubs. It is not like I could try to go to enter a Domestic Violence center, be denied, and sue them out of existence; And similarly for some group that specifically caters to blacks. You are right, you could never create a white only basketball league in this political climate, but you could create an Asian only one, and have no trouble (and if their are sports that Blacks suck at, they could create their own leagues without much trouble).

Half the law book is victimless crimes, so what is your point?
And let me guess, you are over 30?

That and stabilization.

1 Quart equals 0.0040 hogsheads
That would be a horrible way to die.
I find it hard to believe that anyone could confuse graphite for anything reassembling a metal.
Quebec: demonstrating to the world why we need high yield nuclear weapons and carpet bombing since 1974.
Ya, except that we do not like it any better than you would like being forced to use Spanish.
Except that is not really comparable. Spanish is actually a useful language that a significant portion of the Earth uses.
The US is famous for "liberating" nations. And I do not think there is a better example of the usefulness of an 100 MT atomic bomb than Quebec.

Oh, I wish Slashdot had a delete.
I now realise that Electric Car Batteries must not be equivalent to car batteries.
"last year Tesla used a bit more than one-third of the auto industry's electric-car batteries, and that was with only selling 22,477 cars. "
Also, I just looked it up and it looks like in the US, last year, sold about 15.6 million new cars in 2013.

So now we can answer the question of how many batteries a Tesla car uses.
7.8 million / 22,477 = about 350 per car.

When the contract always goes to the lowest bidder and regulation is non existent, is it really that surprising?
People banging on the windows and the car is like "please remain seated, the doors are lock while the car is in motion for your protection"
That would be hilarious. Something goes wrong, and every car is automated, so you just get car after car calmly driving their passengers to their death in a giant sink hole, or something.
I am not so sure, have you tried it yet?
