If it is being presented by the "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists", and they aren't claiming it's science, it needs a disclaimer.
How about renaming it the "Bull of the Atomic Scientists" . . . ?
And who are these "Atomic Scientists" anyway? I don't remember nominating or voting for any of them, so who chose them? Or they like the "Atomic Boy Scout", who got the title by building a reactor in his mom's backyard? They sure don't seem like the Physics professors I knew during my university days. These "Atomic Scientists" sound more like political cranks with an axe to grind.
Anyway, the start of a nuclear war would be a quick two minute deal, but these folks are also claiming that their clock was shifted because of climate change. The predicted results of climate change would be a slow, painful death, not a two minute deal.
. . . and anyway, Russia and the USA are not going to start a nuclear war. The Russians are too smart . . . they are great chess players, and know that a nuclear war between the USA and Russia would lead to disaster for both. Trump is, at heart, a real estate guy. He knows that dumping nuclear weapons on land would negatively impact its market value. So he may huff and puff, but he will not push the button either.
Now Krazy Kim . . . or some kooks in God's Monkey House (aka the Middle East) . . . that's where it's bound to start, and where the Atomic Scientists should be watching.
You'll note that the subject line calls it an "Astronaut Taxi", but taxis are so last century. The spacecraft will use the Über model and be hailed with an app. So normal taxi regulations will not need to be followed, like the men's suits having a fly.
Also, I was disappointed to hear that he is "digging" a tunnel. I was hoping that he was planning to build a quantum entanglement warp transporter tunnel to beam himself back and forth to the airport.
How does this steer him toward a 2024 Presidential bid?
It doesn't. He won't be old enough to be President until the 2028 election. You need to be 45 years old to be President of the USA. I personally believe that a lot of folks in their 60's and 70's are still not old enough to be President of the USA . . . not mature enough.
However, the Meta Science Fiction Search Engine technology together with Russian Hacker technology will be able to swing the election in his favor. Russian leader Poutine will still be in charge of Russia and give his approval, but he will have a different title, because of term limits.
Remember, Da Zuck's "Charitable Foundation" isn't a charitable foundation. The first reports about it, were, quite poignantly, fake news. What he has created, is in fact an financial investment entity that allows him to play around with his fortune, while avoiding taxes.
So there is really no incentive to just give money away. He's letting researchers use the technology to drive its development. In a few years Da Zuck hopes to be charging for this service, and make money off this investment.
It seems that Apple is already doing this, as well. Apple recently raised the prices in the UK by 25%, because of the Brexit.
So this is good news for the British Empire, as their GDP must have grown by 25% since the Brexit!
Economics pundits claim this is the result of the UK rejecting the EU mandated breakfast, consisting of a stale croissant and a thimble full of muddy coffee. The Full English Brexit now consists of baked beans and tea. Whitehall minstrels are planning for extensions including a slap-up fry-up.
This will be great for NASA's Space Flight program! Trump will insist that big-ass "TRUMP" logo signs be placed on all of his asteroids, so he will fund NASA to build a big-ass fleet of spaceships to do the hauling!
Donald Knuth is an elitist. It is not necessary to have a background in mathematics to write software. I taught myself PHP and I certainly don't have any kind of mathematics background whatsoever. It isn't dumbing down as he claims. It's about creating opportunities. If you can code and you can do it well without mathematics, so be it. The math side is for those that want to do research. I work in the real world....
Donald Knuth is an elitist. It is not necessary to have a background in mathematics to write software.
God is an elitist. It is not necessary to have a background in astrophysics to create the Heavens and the Earth.
I taught myself PHP and I certainly don't have any kind of mathematics background whatsoever.
God taught Himself PHP and He certainly doesn't have any kind of mathematics background whatsoever.
So if God programmed the Heavens and the Earth with PHP, it would explain why the world is so fucked up, and we have no chance of fixing it.
You just think you taught yourself PHP . . . but lacking any kind of mathematics background, you don't have the skills necessary to judge that.
I'm truly impressed by how far some Americans are willing to go to escape a Trump presidency.;)
Unfortunately, they will emerge from their Hawaiian Dome to find that US President Mark Zuckerberg has purchased all the land surrounding the dome, and turned it into a sort of Dr. Moreau island, where they will need to play through a "The Most Dangerous Game" / "Escape from New Your" scenario.
Under Zuckerberg, American folks will be looking back to the Trump Presidency as, "The good old days" . . .
US President Zuckerberg? Remember in 12 years that you heard it first, here on scenic Slashdot, "Nudes for Nerds" . . .
. . . and probably neither were a lot of folks who voted in the US Presidential Election . . . for all of the candidates.
Oh, and Trump's new phone is not called a "Smart" phone because of all the features and apps, but because it is a Maxwell Smart shoe-phone. Just until that number gets posted on the Internet . . . Trump's shoes will be ringing like crazy! What a hoot and a half for a boring party . . . ring up and talk to Trump's feet!
More interesting is probably the term that Native Hawaiians are using to describe him, which would be "haole".
"Reiches, erbärmliches, sociopathisches Miststück" - Miststück literally means "piece of dung", but it is also used to describe a bastard, doing dick-headed piece-of-shit type things.
I think "Schwanzlutscher" is what you are looking for . . . but Arschloch is more appropriate, in this case . . . I'll try to think up something better, or ask some friends, since I am fluent in German, but not a native speaker . . .
"Programme" is the old English spelling, while "Program" is the modern English spelling. This proves that the CIA has been experimenting with time travel and space travel at Area Bacardi 151, and employs agents from Old England. The space travel gadget is so powerful that the Old English CIA agents recently voted and were able to move the entire island of England out of Europe! Rumors have it, that in two years time, the technology (unencumbered by those meddling Boys in Brussels) will be so advanced that they will vote to leave the planet Earth entirely!
This was recently announced by Old England's Prime Minister May (who nobody voted for an was selected by Russian Hackers), who said that Old England was going to "go away globally." This announcement caused some consternation in Indian workers, who when they misheard, "Old England has long global traditions", to mean that Old England was going to conquer third world countries and turn them into colonies to rebuild the Empire . . .
. . . and Strike Back!
Americans need not be worried, however. Old England policemen, called "Bobbies", although very few of them are actually named Bob, don't carry weapons. And neither do their soldiers. Except the SAS men, whole ALWAYS carry their knives with them, all the time. When they shower, they hold it between their butt-cheeks. Americans are armed to their teeth, and their major pastime is shooting holes in each other.
On the other hand, if you ask a Bobby for directions, he or she will smile and point you in the right direction. American police folks will cut you to pieces with a fully automatic Heckler & Koch MP5, and then run you over with a BearCat.
The next step will be that you can "bid" with the app for the remaining empty parking spaces. If your credit card transaction is cleared, the empty spot is now reserved for you, as long as you want . . . and pay.
The real question is how quickly Apple will move to reduce prices if/when the Pound recovers
When the Euro was introduced, everybody used that as an excuse to raise prices . . . even in countries that didn't use the Euro! Now, prices in the EU will rise, "because of the Brexit costs, caused by the UK!" Prices in the UK will rise, "because the EU is punishing us for leaving!" So it will very convenient for all the governments: they call all blame problems on something and/or someone else beyond their control.
But folks in the UK will be wealthier! They used to have apps on their phones only worth 79p. The will now have apps that are worth 99p. Things that are more expensive are better, so UK citizens will be better off as a result of the Brexit!
But what about studying the effects of chicory for instance, or fresh lemon juice, or almond milk...?
Walnuts are great for reducing blood cholesterol levels. But . . . large pharmaceutical companies can't patent walnuts, so they have no incentive to fund studies with walnuts. Well, maybe Monsanto or that creepy Shkreli monstrosity might find a way to patent walnuts.
Buried in the small print of my employment contract somewhere, is a clause that states that my employer has the first rights to ANY patent idea that gets hatched out of my bat-shit crazy tiny little mind . . . not just ones that are related to our IT business.
So, if I came up with a great idea for new toilet paper, I need to at least submit it to our patent boys to take a look. If they like the idea, they patent it in my name, but it gets assigned to my employer. If they don't like it, then I am free to patent it myself . . . provided I pay some legal folks to do the paper work.
Now if I quit my job, and suddenly the next day submit a patent . . . my former employer will get very suspicious. I am not really sure, but there is probably an exit process that ensures that "everything that happened in Vegas, stays in Vegas." There is also probably some kind of "non-competition" period, in exchange for cash.
Like the last line of the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag . . . "with Freedom and Justice for the Rich." Whoever can afford the best legal team wins the case.

It's not exactly sleek, but from what I've seen is hardly elephant-sized. Unless you mean a baby elephant.

Both can grab coconuts with their trunks by the husks.

I thought it was stranger s/he's making a 400mile road trip across states on an every-week basis.
400 miles is "just down the road" is Texan mileage units. Anything farther than 400 mile is "just down the road, aways."
