I was just thinking about this the other day when I realized a know four or five guys who just got one of these drones for their sons (supposedly). How long until any public event is ruined by swarms of camera drones? Things like fireworks, public music or theater performances, beer festivals, and so on? This will probably be the next generation of 'people talking in the movie theater'.
That is really interesting, thanks for the information! The summary and article gave me the impression they had no idea how the EM drive worked, but I guess they had a vague idea that it might work, and stumbled on this setup.
People have understood how fireworks worked for thousand of years. One might accidentally stumble across penicillin, but it beggars the imagination to suppose one could accidentally build a jet engine without some idea of how thrust works. Perhaps another aspect of the operation was not understood, but Frank Whittle et al. *intended* to build an engine, not some other device that turned out to be a great engine. I did as you suggested, and my searches turned up nothing other than what I have described. I would appreciate if you could supply one of the references you were speaking about.
There is a reason we call them "children" and don't let them drive cars, play with knives, etc. Should every toddler spend the night in jail for jaywalking? The real problem is that any line that defines adulthood is an arbitrary one. Some kids are mature enough at twelve, others are not even at twenty.
Why wouldn't someone just write a program to slightly underbid and slightly overprice from your company's stream of bid and ask prices, then they could "steal" money from your company all day?
[T]he EM Drive’s thrust was due to the Quantum Vacuum (the quantum state with the lowest possible energy) behaving like propellant ions behave in a MagnetoHydroDynamics drive (a method electrifying propellant and then directing it with magnetic fields to push a spacecraft in the opposite direction) for spacecraft propulsion.
So the recent test was trying to replicate the results in a vacuum to eliminate some unknown other factor as the explanation.
"Fact" can be something of a slippery concept, especially when it happened a hundred years ago on the other side of the world. Your opinion as to which claims are reliable may not be the same as another's.
I always disliked these sort of images because I felt they were closer to an artist's conception than a real image, since they are processed and interpolated so much. Now I regret not looking at the recent/. article on that very subject.
And example of a free market gone haywire due to lax or no regulation was the housing market.
Which regulations were lax or missing? From what I saw it was a pretty heavily regulated market even on the banking side.
And without the FDA, you'd feel perfectly safe getting your prescriptions from Joe's Medical Stuff and Bait Store, right?
No I wouldn't. Who said they would be? This is a straw man argument. And possibly a false dichotomy.
Or maybe you wish to turn safety entirely over to the airlines so that an acceptable level of crashes that can be insured against would work for you. Your car company would never think to cut corners and get you killed dead because they could save on not installing proper safety equipment in their vehicles.
I don't think the parent suggested that torts and other forms of liability should be abolished.
And so on. There are multiple ways that problems like these can and have been resolved, and centralized federal regulation isn't the only choice.
In other words, go back to the way ads used to work in the paper era. Publishers vetted the ads and printed them themselves. If the sites did this the ad blockers probably wouldn't even work. I wonder why they don't pursue that option instead of trying to use the government to force people to do something they do not want?
That is interesting. I wonder how the 'you are using ad blocker' detection works? Our proxy doesn't block ads (i.e. does not return a 403 status) but it replaces the content with a blank HTML document. We did this to avoid any ugly block messages and such. But I have never gotten the 'you are using an ad blocker' message. Maybe there is something in the detection that triggers on the 403 status returns from your proxy and not the 200 status returns from mine. (Assuming your proxy returns 403 which could be wrong).
I wonder if the ad blockers could be set up to provide the scripts in the ads with convincing feedback without exposing the end user to the risk or the content. After all, this is just another form of self-reporting.
There is nothing in here about "loads of information" leaked to Chinese press (only one mention of a set of IP addresses), nor is there anything to establish he still had viable copies of these documents when he went to Russia. A few vague mentions of something he might do in the future doesn't prove anything except he thought about it.
I believe those tests were of cryogenic suspension, which takes a living animal and slows the metabolism down. I did not find any mention of tests involving animals fully frozen into a completely inert state that were ever revived.
Education is probably one of the areas that will benefit the most from 3D printers in the long run.
I don't see the reasoning for this conclusion, it seems to me this program is a colossal waste of money. I did a little searching and these benefits don't seem that great except in the cases of engineering classes. I am sure there are some students who will have their interest piqued, but there's a false assumption in that argument that the students would not have gone on to be engineers without that early exposure to some toy in the classroom.

Sure, you would apparently have nice public transportation to and from your job picking through the garbage dump for food.
If it is only 37%, they are well ahead of the rest of the world!

Cloud storage? He didn't seem to understand the idea of client/server. He just knew the file was "in" the computer.

If nobody knows how it works, how did the guy invent it?

No they are not. They are Hittites and Arameans who converted to Hellenic culture.
And SMTP is for simple messages only.
Since "pudding" in the UK can mean any sort of dessert (as it is known in the USA), then the answer is "yes".

Here's hoping one of these jets doesn't hit Rosetta and send it spinning off into deep space like Buck Rogers.

That strikes me as pretty fast for an organization that size.
