and how does it differentiate between potholes and, say, old people?
How to put it in layman terms? The potholes are... well... holes. The old people are... more like speed-bumps. The accelerometers will show if the car went down-up or up-down... If the car stops immediately after, in the first case they'll send the towing truck, in the later they'll send an ambulance.
Do the benefits of X project outweigh the massive problems that would be caused by a U.S. Default and world wide depression?
Paradoxically, it might. You see, if you are close to defaulting, selling some assets may get you over... for the moment, I'm not quite sure that the war in Afghanistan and hundreds of army bases around the worlds are assets somebody would want to invest into.
Letting the seriousness aside: let's not forget the "RailNet neutrality" and "Kill Switch" in the initial design. Many years later will be quite difficult to implement.
(1) It can stay in the private sector. The private sector will invest it in based on the market -- i.e., *what real people actually want and will willingly buy.*
The private sector may (will?) use them to buy treasury bonds: currently they are perceived as risk free and carry better interest than many profit rates somebody may dare to think of. You know? can't exclude a "bond bubble".
If the above happens, won't have any good effect on job creation.
During "Internet blackout" cause by action on the Kill switch, you need something to transport the tapes between destination points. The faster and greener, the better; can't beat trains to that, especially when considering the P2P traffic and porn downloads.
Jean Jennings Bartik was one of the women computers. In 1945, she was a recent graduate of Northwest Missouri State Teachers College, the school's one math major. She lived on her parents' farm, refusing the teaching jobs her father suggested, avoiding talk of marrying a farmer and having babies. Bartik was waiting on a job with the military.
When a telegram arrived asking her to come right away, she took a late-night train and began new career in Philadelphia.
Besides, the US entered the WWII in 1942 if I'm not mistaken.
There's a 15 year statue of limitations on Slashdot jokes. That's why we don't get Popeye jokes but we do +5 flying chair and BSOD jokes.
[OT] Haven't seen any references to FSM/noodly-appendages in a while, even the occasions weren't missing. Right... it's no longer a matter of jokes, it wouldn't be politically correct.
It is good for the outcome of education to be people that are useful for business. It does not follow that education is best run as business.
Hell, I didn't say this and neither the OP-er. The OP just noticed that there is a quite big disconnect between business and school, and saw it as a problem that need to be addressed (see the title of the post). And, towards the end of the post, proposed as a solution the switch of focus from what to why and to how/when ("how" set in a context of discovery).
If the quoted part above was the intended the meaning of your up-most reply, I fail to see the point... (as I failed to see the intended meaning as well. Take the above with a grain of salt, I'm finding myself quite dense today, though).
Agreed. Can't figure out how a call center the other side of the world would be able to absolve one for the sins of outsourcing (kidding, but only half-of).
would it actually send your confession anywhere? Since your confessions are supposed to be anonymous and strictly confidential, you might as well pipe it to/dev/nulll...
No need for it... the modern gadgets have enough computation power to support Eliza and her descendants.
Not every accident involves a car being ripped to 30 pieces. Seems perfectly feasible that the brake and gas pedal are still connected to the ECU shortly after the accident.
Can you please define the meaning you give to a "major crash"?
To my mind, it's an event in which the driver is at least badly hurt or unconscious and/or the car involved is no longer functional. Does any data collected from the pedals brings anything insight after the major crash? If positive, how?
So here's my question: since the black boxes nearly always survive plane crashes, why don't they just build the whole plane out of that same material?
:) Gosh, I wish I would thought of it... On the same line: since the last carriage of a train is the least stable one, the obvious solution is to simply remove it:)
Logic fail. I wrote that it is not true that they should have the same goals and methods. It does not follow that they cannot have any goals or methods that happen to coincide. It only follows that there is not a moral or other necessity in them having that. What's it to you?
The OP exemplified a total disconnect and opposition between the school/business in terms of values and the mean to achieve them. I understood your post as saying: "That's nothing wrong with that, they aren't necessarily connected" (see the "Business is about being productive, education is about gaining skills and knowledge" part).
So that I'm asking: is the premise that "education and business are somehow connected" so utterly absurd?
Yeap: collecting the pitch/roll/yawn as well as the engines RPM's and level of fuel-tanks... of the wreckage after the major crash. Does make sense and is achievable by... what method?
When there is a crash, logging stops and it all gets dumped to permanent storage.
And the rest of the data after the major crash is captured by the extra added layer of "Telepathy Controlled Protocol" - good that we are forced now to tap into IPv6 address space.
NHTSA also said it plans to propose requirements for standardized operation of push-button keyless ignition systems in cars and to require the installation of Event Data Recorders, devices that record various data including gas pedal and brake usage immediately before and after a major crash.
(WTF?) I think the black-boxes on the planes can benefit as well from being able to record various data after a major crash.

Like a rail internet.
Goo idea (seriously)

That's still thinking too small.
High Speed Rail to Mars, FTW!

End the war in Afghanistan, FTW

which will be loaded with 1TB HDDs, enabling the USA in one brilliant 2-bird throw, to catch up in the broadband infrastructure race.
Good to have it handy after using the Internet Kill switch.
Like in "Why MS kills only autorun? There are plenty other things that need killing, Vista included".
During "Internet blackout" cause by action on the Kill switch, you need something to transport the tapes between destination points.

Don't say I haven't warned you!!!!!
Yes, but what is its efficiency?
Funny coincidence, I was asking myself the same thing in relation with the spinach-catalyst... the TFA doesn't say a word about it.

It's called "Rational Thought" but I think you have to jailbreak to use it...
Jailbreak who or what?
Also, is it sufficient?
Let's not make this into something it's not.

I almost said "There are ladies present" but quickly realized that wasn't true.
You are right.. lady Ada is long dead and it's not likely the (British) nobility would mix into things so vulgar as software development.

They already do.
