I don't think we would, if the water and ice is blasted high enough up a probe might be able to fly through the cloud to collect samples. I have no idea what the charged particles hitting that material will do to it though, maybe there wouldn't be any frozen life chunks to see any more. Then again, maybe we could identify Europan life without attempting a landing.
Yeah, you missed the part about how the satellite broadcast, by definition, is not a per-user signal. It is one signal received by everyone in a certain area.
So, yeah, you can put a unique ID on your 1 signal, and then you'll be able to find out that someone receiving your 1 signal is the person re-broadcasting it. I'm not sure how that helps you though, you still don't know which of the many people receiving the same signal is the one you're looking for.
The only way to know for sure what people could see and when is to test under the same conditions.
Good idea. The impact happens at about the position where the car is at 0:32 in that video. Note that before they even go under the highway they can clearly see what's beyond the overpass. The purple lights on the left are the concert venue. That video was recorded 3 days after the accident at around the same time, the weather reports for both days are substantially similar. A couple weeks ago my car was parked under that overpass and I was looking at the entire area. What you see in that video is much more representative of how normal human eyes see that area than the dark Uber video.
Of course, this all ignores the fact that the car was equipped with a variety of sensors which should have and did identify the person regardless of light.
The road there is about as well lit as you would expect a big road to be, it's not as dark as the video implies. Granted, most of the time I'm down there I'm there for a concert and they might have additional lights on, but the video was obviously darker than what a person would see. At the place where she was crossing, the driver should have been able to see her crossing the road for several hundred feet at least.
Hey, SuperKendall, I noticed that you haven't replied yet. I posted something that was not purely Apple love, and when that happens you reply to "correct the record", so I just wanted to make sure you didn't get swamped and it just slipped your mind. Or maybe I upset you. Was it the walking-into-panes-of-glass thing? It must be hard when you biblically idolize a company who then builds a building which fails at some pretty fundamental things about being a building, but I hope you can overcome it.
Would it make you feel better to set up a strawman? If it makes you feel better about you or Apple, go ahead, let the logical fallacies fly. I was just worried I hurt your feelings, and everyone hates to see Apple fans with their feelings hurt.
As I said, the escape key WAS NOT REMOVED. It's always there in the Touch Bar
Excuse my ignorance, but is the "Touch Bar" an escape key? If you turn off the power to the machine, and look at the keyboard, is there a key labeled "Esc?" Because, if not, then it sounds like they removed the escape key and replaced it with something called a "Touch Bar", which based on the fact that it is not called an "Escape Key", sounds like it is something other than an escape key.
When I'm in an FPS you seen to think that "W" should not move me forward, but instead should type forward because no key should be programmatically definable. What a moron!
Ooh, that's a fancy strawman you've built there. Impressive. What a moron!
I'll bet you REALLY hate those keyboards with all programmable labels on keys!
No, I don't. What I do hate are arbitrary design decisions that companies try to force on people who don't want them, and try to explain why they're better. I can't tell you how often I press keys like Home and End while I'm writing code, but now I need to use a 2-key combo on your laptop because some design "guru" decided that those keys weren't used often enough? And then I've got idiots like you rolling out the logical fallacies to try to defend choices like that, which obviously don't work for a lot of people?
Not technical advancement for amicus, no sir, in fact he's going back to a God Damned Typewriter so software cannot alter the meanings of keys and he gets to choose the color of his ribbon.
See that? See what you're doing? A simple complaint about a missing escape key has you all defensive trying to draw ridiculous conclusions because someone dares to question the stupid design choices made a company who can't get their own employees to stop walking into panes of glass.
Not all applications make use of the space bar, enter key, backspace key, caps lock key, tab key, shift key, or any number key. Or any letter key, for that matter. What other keys do you think should be removed because they aren't being used by 100% of applications?
I agree, there are too many comments along the lines of "we've done this, and we haven't seen it, so therefore no civilizations are here." Like porcelain, for example. Apparently porcelain is a necessary requirement of a sufficiently advanced civilization, and we would detect it because of so and so, and we haven't, therefore we're the first civilization. Or plastic. Or very deep mines.
I don't know why deep mines are a necessary requirement for a civilization. We only have a handful of them, it's not like they're all over the place, and I would expect many of them to be destroyed by geologic or other processes over the next several million years. 10 million years ago it's possible that they would have done the same thing we're doing today, exploiting the easy surface deposits. Maybe they never made it beyond that. Regardless, we've explored a fraction of a fraction of the planet below the surface, there's no way anyone can say for certain that something is not down there somewhere.
That doesn't matter, if it has greater than a 50% confidence then they send out a demand letter for money or to knock you offline anyway and see if you try to fight back. Think back to how often DMCA notices were abused when they were handed over to automated platforms to send them out. That's all this is, the Screen Actors' Guild is not here to protect society (quite the opposite, some might argue). They don't care about you or spotting fake news or whatever, they're just trying to make sure the actors get paid when appropriate and have the ability to order things to be taken offline otherwise.

This is a rich vein of copper ore called the Keweenaw copper that dates from the Precambrian era 600 million years ago, about the time of the first multi-cellular life.
OK, but how long has it been near the surface? I'm sure that you're aware that a major new source of rare earths was discovered by Japan in the Pacific. I doubt that deposit has always been underwater, or on the surface of the crust, but that's where it happened to be when we happened to look for it. 10 million years ago that might have been 10 miles below the surface. It should be pretty obvious to anyone who's seen a fossil of sea life on the top of a mountain in Texas or New Mexico that the planetary crust is not a static unchanging thing, so just because there's a vein of copper near the surface in Michigan today, doesn't mean it was easily accessible 10 million years ago.
We do not know, today, whether or not the moon is pristine or polluted, frankly. It looks relatively unpolluted, but every impact spreads ejecta all over the surface, and without wind there could be a 1cm layer of dirt covering just about anything and we wouldn't know it was there until we dug it up.
that means that a million years from now, there will be a distinct strata of the Earth's crust which is enriched with plastic sediment or microspheres.
Maybe, assuming that the plastic-eating bacteria and enzymes don't take care of it before it gets locked into rock. If that's 10 million or 100 million years instead of 1 though, then given enough time those broken down microspheres might start to look like natural structures if we were seeing them all over the place. We might not know how they were formed, but if we see them all over the place we might just assume they have a natural formation process.
We were the first to mine coal, drill for oil, extract deposits of rare earths, and precious metals.

Also, some things shouldn't go missing. Tracks on the moon
Why would they have necessarily gone to the moon, and even more importantly, why would one of our very few manned missions, or other landing craft, have landed in the right place to have seen those tracks? If we're talking about the scale of millions of years, wouldn't an impact on the moon be an obvious candidate for removing evidence?
orbital satellites
Satellites in a stable orbit for millions of years? The moon is not in a stable orbit when you're talking about geologic time.
undecomposable manmade polymers and alloys
I don't think we've made anything that would be considered "undecomposable" after millions of years. Moreover, even if we could, wouldn't they be buried after millions of years instead of sitting on the surface?
He hasn't lowered himself, he can't possibly go any lower than where he has been for who knows how long. Here's an example. It only takes him 3 messages to start calling people fools, idiots, fleas, and making random all-caps threats. That was 18 years ago. So, no, he hasn't lowered himself anywhere because he's been at that same level for about 2 decades, if not his entire 55 or so year life. If he replied to this message, he would no doubt have words to say about the people in that thread still today, because he does not emotionally progress. His emotional development stopped somewhere in elementary school and hasn't gone anywhere. Incidentally, that's also why he doesn't get any respect. He's worked very hard at not having any respect, he's earned that. He was earning it 18 years ago in that thread, and whenever I see him here he still makes an effort to earn it.
Anyone who wants to "hashtag MAGA" definitely has an agenda they're pushing. However, the vast majority of the country wants to make America great in the ways they know how regardless of what their politics are.

Right, all they have to do is create a major diplomatic incident during the world's most-watched sports broadcast. Simple.

That wrongful death suit is going to be very expensive and damaging to Uber.
You think so? Because from what I see, Uber settled confidentially with the woman's family within 11 days after the accident.
If this were a new drug or treatment or medical procedure they would be shut down.
I'm not sure how you can draw an analogy there. In a clinical drug trial, the drug doesn't go out and kill someone not part of the trial.
