We have numerous truck stops and regular mandatory breaks for the drivers. Until these are self-driving, there's no real need for a quick charge. Once it's self-driving, then sure they'll want to charge fast while loading to shave more hours off the trip.
There are places where segregation wouldn't become a problem if regulation were removed. And then there's the entire southeastern United States, which remains highly segregated and highly bigoted. About 40% of people in Mississippi and Alabama still believe interracial marriage should be illegal -- one of many harmful effects of segregation. Their anti-gay, anti-muslim, etc views are of course even more extreme. The bigots (of any type) can only develop into better people by encountering people who are different than them, which is why the powerful among them seek to prevent their communities from being exposed to others who would educate them.
He probably comes from Sacramento. We have plenty of semi-literate people, like most places on the planet... and many whose first language isn't English. We do have lots of Russians if that's what you're thinking, but they don't work for Putin.
In order to land on such an asteroid rather than be smashed into a trillion pieces by it, you have to match the speed of the asteroid. At that point, you can already go wherever the asteroid is going -- or lots of better places -- just as quickly without landing on it. How is that a shortcut? Seems to make the whole process immensely more complicated and fuel-consuming than just going from point A to point B.
If MSIE had been cross-platform, adhered to standards, and had an open source rendering engine... then many fewer people would've had a problem with MSIE's dominance.
I charge a million dollars for my service of replying to slashdot posts, but I'm waiting your fee for that today. Congrats, you now owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes to the feds.
Since when is declining to make someone pay for a service the same as giving them income?
Because slashdot isn't paid for it. They're just stupid enough to approve stories submitted by the many professionals who get paid to submit stories to sites like this.
The liberal* agenda is the atheist agenda: stop religious bigotry and separate church and state. It just so happens that a lot of religious people like the atheist agenda.
* The democratic party agenda at the moment, on the other hand, seems to be just to serve itself and let everyone know it's not Trump.
Maybe it actually should be part of NASA's job, considering so many terrorists are engineers. Kind of like how NASA funded the Russian space program in the 90s in the hopes that their scientists wouldn't turn to nuclear proliferation for money.
First, we need a legitimate competitor to SpaceX to exist. At the moment the only thing keeping other rocket companies in business is that SpaceX hasn't scaled up their operations to meet all the demand. If SpaceX can manage to do that, expect bankruptcies and at that point we have a bit of a problem. It would be nice if some startup like Blue Origin could compete, but for the moment they're still pretty much a pipe dream.
Yes they will. Prices of unlimited plans will get jacked up to the point where per-minute plans for lighter users will begin to look attractive again; then they'll return.
I used a pay as you go cell plan a couple years ago. It was 10 cents a minute to call anywhere in the US and Canada, not $1.25.
For-profit might actually get some museums a bit more interesting.
More interesting, and less correct because the facts don't bring in the money like a nice exciting lie does. It's better if we just call them history-themed amusement parks instead of museums.
All most progressives want to do is build the environmental cost of the SUV into the sale price via taxes, so that the market will start driving decisions that are better for us all. Likewise I think bitcoin should be taxed for the environmental damage it does.
Who the fuck are these left-wing nuts that you speak of requiring us all to modify our genitals? I've not encountered this "sizeable chunk."
I think the implication was that jews are usually left-wing and jews think circumcision is required. He's greatly overestimating the size of the jewish population though.
This will be a GOOD THING. Once we get the humans off the road, we can make lanes narrower, traffic will flow more smoothly, cars can be made lighter, and traffic lights can be eliminated.
All of this seems to assume that bicycles and pedestrians never have to share the road with cars. Sure it could be designed, but it's prohibitively expensive.
Yes, a lot of people are losing their generally horridly unpleasant retail jobs. And the unemployment rate is at a historic low. If these were fun jobs being lost and replaced by unpleasant ones I'd see cause for concern, but no kid says "I wanna grow up to work retail." The people losing their jobs are probably better off where they end up.
Driving is in the top 5 things most people like to do in life
Most people? No. I can't even remember the last time I met someone who said they enjoy their commute, and people complain about their commutes constantly. Most people absolutely loathe driving, but we do it because it works better and faster than public transit.
I don't buy the "sales taxes are regressive" theory -- not in practice anyway. I hardly pay any sales tax, because almost all of what I buy is food, which is exempt. A wealthy person will be buying many more things.
The real problem with sales taxes is that they're bad for the economy. They explicitly discourage spending, and the economy works better when people spend more.

IE and Edge don't run naively. They don't work decently under Wine either though.

A quick google says the shuttle was $18,000/kg to LEO and SpaceX is $5,500/kg to LEO. Over 3x more is hardly "about the same".

Countless important texts, movies, music and so on have already been placed in orbit by sending a copy via the ISS internet link.

Can't I just use a hosts file to fix the problem?

You call that relatively good? The alien Nazi 9/11 season was what made me give up on Enterprise.

Automated plugging in is a pretty simple problem to solve compared to automated driving. Can always use inductive charging too.
