It's a good start but we need communication protocols so cars can talk to one another
You mean like these? Noob. You should at least give yourself a basic education in a subject before spouting.
and so traffic control devices can talk to them. We need uniform standards for road sensors, lane markers and broadcast obstruction warnings.
An AV which depends on V2X is untrustworthy. AVs have to work even when the communications network is completely down in order to be useful, because otherwise people will learn to depend on them in situations in which they are not dependable.
you will always be able to do what you want to do online. You will just have to be less lazy about it.

Governments have no business making people who provide a forum police that forum, unless they explicitly endorse the views promoted in that forum. This is nothing less than an attack on free speech, by attempting to shut down the places where it occurs.
There will be only intended consequences. These lawmakers might not know a volt from a vault or a wire from a fire but they do have people who can explain to them that this is totally unworkable in practice. But it will create opportunities for selective enforcement, which governments absolutely adore.
You can tell there are too many laws when the police have discretion as to who to cite, and who not to. Every major society has too many laws for actual justice to survive. If prosecution is not required for every offense, it means that there's too many offenses.
Stupid people can do things well. For example, a lot of idiots are good at getting elected. Stephen Hawking is brilliant, and his cake decorating really, really sucks. He's smart, he hasn't mastered the particular skills of cake decorating.
It's also difficult to decorate a cake from beyond the grave, even if you aren't mostly paralyzed.
using satellite tracking involves having and deploying satellites which isnâ(TM)t free. Costs are something like $20-30M per launch not including the cost of the satellite.
The US government has been keeping Iridium around for its own purposes, so it's been available for tasks just such as this all along.
I have tons of content which doesn't have any DRM. I've never paid more than a few pence for any ebook which does have DRM. The DRM on all the ebooks I've paid anything for is supposedly trivial to break, but since none of it is important, I haven't bothered.
On the other hand, if civilization falls and somehow doesn't set everything on fire, my various devices will eventually die due to battery failure of one kind or another, or some kind of wear.
On the gripping hand, I don't have room for all the books I could ever wish to own.
Less than $15/hr is less than a living wage almost anywhere, and certainly anywhere that's not an armpit or cesspool. The minimum wage was originally intended to be a living wage. It hasn't kept up with inflation for decades. It should have been tied to inflation. If a business can't pay a living wage, it shouldn't exist in our current system at all. Someone more efficient should have that demand to serve (and exploit.)
If we had UBI and national health, on the other hand, we wouldn't need a minimum wage at all. All employment would be voluntary, and therefore it could be contracted on any mutually satisfactory basis. It would take most of the overhead out of employing people — there would also be no need for worker's comp or unemployment insurance.
Components do not "belong" to a certain device. They are components and are intended to be fitted together in any way possible and desired.
Calling it "a Frankenstein" is dumb, but components often do "belong" to a certain device, and aren't used anywhere else in the same form. The sub-components will typically be reused even in that case, though. It's just smart to reuse well-developed components, whether it's in part, or the whole thing.
Because, it was quickly realized, simply 'popping' it on could be easily gamed with a pack that was only 90% semtex and 10% battery.
No, it can't. You can tell the difference between the two if they are right next to one another. You'd need a dual battery laptop to fool an even slightly trained inspector, and that would be obvious too given a few moments' study.
With those two in place, we could roll everything else back to pre-911 levels and not lose one iota of security.
The third exception is air marshals. Every plane didn't have an air marshal embedded in the flight before 9/11. Now they may have more than one. So it's those three, not those two. We could still eliminate the long queues for sexual abuse, however.
How would you know that? You can't prove a negative. Security is mostly a deterrent.
They have only caught a handful of people who were potentially dangerous, and none of them turned out to be terrorists. We do know they aren't capable of catching most serious threats, though, because every time we do a trial they fail it. Knives, guns, bombs, they miss them all.
Hey hey hey... it sounds to me like you want to lay off all of the good folks at the TSA. Why?
Because they willingly signed up to sexually molest air passengers in the name of security theater, which means they're some of the most deplorable persons in the country. That or they actually believe they're there to catch terrorists, in which case they're the dumbest people in the country. They're also generally incompetent. Every time we test them, they fail to catch most of the samples. They've never caught a terrorist, and they probably wouldn't catch one if they actually showed up, either.
'll address this specific case. The laptop has a significant battery that is very dense, and consequently fairly opaque to xray. The battery is very easy to replace with a nicely shaped chunk of semtek with a blasting cap inserted inside.
While this is true, removing it from the bag to scan it doesn't help prevent that attack. You have to make people turn it on. Some airports did this, some didn't.
Jif is a brand of toilet cleaner in the UK and elsewhere. Mind you given the taste of peanut butter I suppose it is possible it is just the same product repurposed.
What do brits have against peanut butter, anyway? The revulsion seems to be uniform across the whole of the UK. It's hilarious watching Irish People complain about it on the tubes. I liked peanut butter from the first time I tried it.
It's medicine that helps people. You're wrong if it's not legal for medical use.
It's also less harmful than other recreational drugs, and reduces the use of those other drugs. It is, in fact, less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. It's wrong on every level when it's not legal for recreational use, too. (And why is it still legal to smoke tobacco in public, when that has proven harmful effects?)
I live in Wisconsin and our winters make batteries have short lives. I have to buy batteries for vehicles every 3 years.
You should buy an AGM battery next time, probably an Optima blue top given your conditions. It will last longer and work better. Or you could get a battery heater.
Li-Ion batteries don't have a much shorter lifespan in cold conditions, they just don't offer as much charge capacity. And modern vehicles are heating them anyway.
IN the past, the US used to be "the great melting pot".....today, however, well.....I"m starting to feel great pressure to start learning Spanish out of necessity.
Being an American used to be something to be proud of. The greatest nation on earth wasn't just advertising. Today, being an American is embarrassing. If you're traveling, it's better to have people assume that you're Canadian.
What ISPs these days do, is not throttle apps - everyone gets baseline performance.
Not my ISP, Exede. They explicitly throttle all the popular video services. I wish they'd throttle Amazon slightly less, but overall it's a reasonable thing to do.
Breaking the windshield doesn't destroy the car; it's still completely drivable, it just needs the windshield replaced.
It is generally the most expensive piece of glass in the car, though, so the kid is a vile little shit for not at least breaking a side window. I'd ground him forever.
Again in my opinion, the impossible burger tries too hard to be meat, and has an artificial "grilled" taste that lingers in the mouth like old grease.
If it didn't have that, it wouldn't taste like a Whopper(tm). Whoppers have fake grilling flavor added to them. If I eat one for lunch, I am still burping up whopper flavor at dinner. I used to go to one of the last BKs that used fire, on 41st ave. in Capitola, and they were my favorite fast food burger by a wide margin. But then they stopped using fire like everyone else, and the whopper was no longer worth eating.
Actually what's great on gridpad is GEOS. It supports the hardware (with the penmouse driver, anyway) and you can install Graffiti for Zoomer on it. I've got a unit set up that way, still. Needs new batteries, though. And the backlight inverters are fragile AF, in the bargain. These days though the display is just painfully bad compared to a cheap tablet or cellphone, so I should probably just give it away.

Actually, minimum wage was never intended to force "living wages". Minimum wage is NOT intended to be a living wage,
Poppycock.
Got any other piffle to dispel?

Budget airlines would however never purchase such options.
It probably should have been made mandatory for flights involving many passengers some time ago.

Since it's now legal, doesn't that mean that the state made the mistake when the convictions were made, and not the pot user?
The user made the mistake of getting caught.
