I'd recommend you go inspect them for possible safety violations. We'll even make sure the turbines are running at full capacity before you go in, just to make sure you see everything!
The speed of an airplane makes your entire argument fall apart. The drone wouldn't be deviated much at all, it just wouldn't have the time to. At best, it'd get deviated towards a wing, which would be in no way better, and either way its speed on impact would remain drastically lower than that of the airplane, so it'd be for all intents and purposes a head-on collision. Also, the energy dissipated by the drone disintegrating would be minor, the rest would be transferred to the plane. A drone-airplane crash would most likely cause pretty serious damage.
Not entirely true, actually. Canada tuition is low, loans are much rarer than in the US, but a lot of university presidents still rack in 300-500k/year. This is largely about people in a position of power abusing it to give themselves money.
I don't quite know how you did your search, but I just did the same and found just one apartment for less than $900/mo ($785 to be exact), and it's located in East Oakland, which is not a place I'd recommend. That apartment also has income restrictions, so she may not even be eligible (the site doesn't list restrictions for single occupancy).
For apartments actually in Emeryville, you're looking at closer to $2-3k/mo, which is pretty damn close to the $1800/mo estimate, even perhaps with a roommate since two bedroom apartments are more expensive. If you have to work in SF, you're looking at over an hour commute each way, public transportation or not. On top of that, you have to be able to move around in Emeryville and, like most cities in the US, that pretty much requires a car. I've tried to do without in Emeryville: getting through your day without one is a nightmare, and I was living very close to my workplace at the time. Shops are often not on bus routes, especially grocery stores and pharmacies. There are very few places to eat out at within walking distance, assuming you even have the money to do so.
The long and short of it is that Oakland has a lot of bad neighborhoods, Emeryville is basically SF's extended shopping district (some even just say Emeryville is SF's Ikea because the only one in the area is there) and so super car-focused, and Berkeley is expensive and even further to commute from. Your options are limited, and the commute sucks. SF is one of the worst places to be when it comes to working on low wages, and companies like Yelp (who absolutely do not need to be in SF) should take that into account.
Try applying statistics and I'll bet that more athletes will be compromised by the vaccines and the toxic chemicals in the hand "sanitizers" than would get sick from the water in the lagoon.
Why the quotes, exactly? Hand sanitizers aren't exactly rocket science or even controversial. If you think they are, I don't think I'll be taking the rest of your post seriously.
The thing you're forgetting is that at some point in the chain, there's a human calling the shots, and a robot not having emotions goes both ways: yes, it definitely means that they will keep their cool in all situations and never kill people unexpectedly (assuming no bugs of that magnitude), but on the other hand it also means they will never refuse to do orders humans would consider reprehensible. The general orders all killbots to gas the entire populace? They'll do it.
It's not even much of an advantage since uMatrix exists on Chrome and is arguably superior. Then again, using either tends to get really aggravating and something only a microscopic proportion of the population will ever do.
But with the consequence that the first accident of note will result in all kinds of problems for EVERY instance of that model running in EVERY model of that self-driving car, rather than just a single driver being an idiot.
Assuming that accident is the fault of the AI, then you can reasonably expect a patch within a week, a month if the issue is extremely complicated. Good luck fixing human drivers this efficiently.
The thing that might dislodge NAND is Intel/Micron's new 3D Xpoint, which is supposedly much faster, allows for bit-level writes and is just as durable if not more so than NAND. It's also supposed to be available shortly.
Fill up your SSD to 99% and it usually has between 20 and 40% free space to work with (more for enterprise drives, less for cheap drives). Oh wait, you've never heard of over-provisioning?
As much bad rap as Obama and the US government gets on a daily basis, I would never imagine in a million years anyone in there deciding to declare war over a neighbor and start shelling nukes at them. With NK, it's not only probable, it's almost inevitable if they are left alone long enough. They are not rational, they do not care about the well-being of their citizens, and they think they can get away with many things. At some point they'll think too large and hit a city or contaminate a big area and people will die for no reason.
To compare the US and NK is utterly reductionist and shows a complete lack of understanding of the differences in context.
North Korea is currently under international sanctions for violating several UN Security Council resolutions. That means that the majority of the UN considers North Korea's missile/nuclear program to be a problem, specifically destabilizing the region and undermining the global nonproliferation regime. In case you forgot, the nonproliferation treaty states that aside from the "nuclear weapon states" (China, France, Russia, the US and the UK), no other nation state should receive, manufacture or acquire nuclear weaponry. The NWS are also the five permanent members of the Security Council.
So within the bounds of international law and politics, North Korea is indeed disallowed to have ICBMs. Who's disallowing them? Everyone. As of the last few resolutions, even China has decided to withdraw their support, making the resolutions passed unanimously. Nuclear weapons aren't something you get to unilaterally decide you'll develop and own, and if you do, other countries will be extremely suspicious of you and for good reason.
Let's not kid ourselves here: North Korea is a farce. Its people is continuously under threat of famine, is being brainwashed, held back on just about every level, because the leadership of the country wants to conserve an iron grip on their small patch of land. As such, it's one of the poorest and most isolated places on the planet, and politically is extremely unstable and dangerous. You can't consider them on a rational level because they are not a rational actor. They have severe delusions of grandeur, regularly threaten just about every neighbor of armed conflict, often for no apparent reason, etc. The best possible thing that could happen for NK and the rest of the world would be a slow transition towards democracy and a complete reconstruction of its political sphere (including eliminating all current military and political personnel, up to Un himself). Failing that, I hope that one day the rest of the world decides to act upon this retarded stepchild and cut the head off - the transition would be far more traumatic, but at least it'd happen.
I haven't seen those mentioned elsewhere so here goes:
The ability to subscribe to any given comment (with automatic subscription for your own comments, if desired), sending replies to your inbox.
Markdown support. I don't like WYSIWYG, but I also don't like having to write in monospace or raw HTML. Markdown is a great middle ground that's already used everywhere.
Remove all of the "Slashdot Deals" crap. This is a tech site, you won't trick the users into buying in that sort of stuff. Also kind of hypocritical to show them even when you check "No Ads".
Make the mobile site a downscaled version of the desktop site. The mobile site's comment display is atrocious, its filtering options are barebones, and navigating between stories is annoying because the site takes over page loading and tab history.
Hire more editors. I'd like to think that it'd be feasible to get volunteer editors to work here for free, which would significantly reduce costs while increasing quality and turnaround time for stories.
Make sure editors actually edit. There should be internal rules to follow (we as users don't have to know them, but they need to exist) and if they are broken there should be consequences. Rules should at least include basic proofreading, making sure the story is not a dupe, clearing out potential confusing statements and, as much as possible, removing bias/spin in submissions.
I like how you're acting on the site already. Please show us that you can make this site great again.
It's worth pointing out, though, that a lot of the "news for nerds, stuff that matters" articles don't get a whole lot of comments because in the end what causes activity is controversy. If you have a disagreement, a point to make, something to prove/disprove, you're going to be active. If the article is just some nice cool science/tech stuff that's not in any way controversial, you'll have 20-40 comments tops.
I'd rather the articles be weighted on their own merit rather than by how many comments were posted in related stories.

Cards like Oyster or Opus can be recharged using cash. The point is that you recharge it prior to getting on the bus, accelerating boarding time.
Have you seen the Bart? It's falling apart from all sides, the cars are old. Back then, real-time monitoring wasn't a thing.

Monitors of that size wouldn't be using the USB cable for power under most circumstances, so the shoddy power connection wouldn't matter.

You can die from temperatures well above freezing, you know that right?
We're talking about making a respectable living, not luxury. Drop the strawman, you're just looking like a complete idiot.

Modern SSDs will far outlast their expected lifetime. Surprisingly (not), SSDs did evolve in the decade or so since their introduction.
Fill up your SSD to 99% and it usually has between 20 and 40% free space to work with (more for enterprise drives, less for cheap drives). Oh wait, you've never heard of over-provisioning?
That's 4.294 Gb/mm^2 and 2.02 Gb/mm^2, respectively, for us SI folks.

I like it. It should remove some pressure off the editors and make Slashdot somewhat more reactive in the face of very quick news and large events.
Oh, and apparently, proper unordered list support.

The sooner you will write that the sooner you will get it. That's all what Free software guarantees you and I find it superior to anything else.
So because it fulfills a need that's not actually there, never.
There are still routers sold that don't have wifi turned on by default with a password provided in the manual?
