It boils down to punishing you for being accused even if you're not guilty. I think that's just wrong. I think if you're found not guilty they should have to reimburse you for your lost time, or be punished themselves for false accusations. It would only be fair.
The GPS is irrelevant. There are legal requirements for radar training and gun calibration. This is the standard way to get out of a speeding ticket. You know the whole innocent until proven guilty and the burden of proof is on the state thing.
Doesn't always work. My wife was in for a ticket when one cop on a bridge did the radar and another did the intercept, and she asked how he knew he got the right car. He said he just knew. She asked about how the constitution requires the burden of proof, and the judge said "This is traffic court, the constitution doesn't apply here!"
You should be modded up, not down. Sure you're not giving them the answer they want to hear, but it's the right answer. You should be rewarded for sharing your knowledge, not punished for it. It's like the guy who thought he had a great idea to put wind turbines on an electric car to extend the range. It took me fifteen minutes to convince him he was wrong, and he wasn't happy about it.
Wish I had mod points, don't know why parent got rated zero. He's right, you need something to focus if you want an image, otherwise you'd register every photon from all directions, just like holding old-fashioned camera film out in the light.
But you have to develop the testing methodology and devices to inspect one, why not just run another unit through? Speaking as a manufacturer of medical device components I know from experience that the first part is where a huge percentage of the cost resides. Time and materials to machine a duplicate part once the programming, tooling, and inspection systems are set up and proven would be cheap.
You can bet that they make spares (and certify them) for most components just in case something goes wrong and the thing needs to be replaced before launch.
You don't know much about AI, do you? There have been "learning AI's" for quite some time. They do not simply execute a program, or regurgitate what we give them.

Heck, for a dollar you can get the whole album from gomusicnow.
I kinda figured that might be where music is going: towards ad-based revenue.
You mean like radio?

Is that libre as in beer?
Are you saying the strain Lacks consent?

An armed society is a polite society.
So did Bishnu...
Or they could have a war of even more northern aggression.
More than one way to skin a cat.
They are paying for my work output of a predetermined type during certain hours. They are not paying for me.
Depends on the job...
The sad part is that when it's almost gone we'll find it's needed for FTL.
The basic problem with creating a virtual brain is that our technology is limited to serial actions instead of real parallel ones.
Enter CUDA...
You don't know much about AI, do you? There have been "learning AI's" for quite some time. They do not simply execute a program, or regurgitate what we give them.
...even the most optimistic of futurists seem to say that we are about 20 years away from getting them...
Okay, now project that out another 20,000 years and what do you get?
why is it supposed that machines can be made sentient?
Because we are sentient machines. We just happen to me meat machines.
Just put a backscatter van in orbit.
Most realistically they'd be nice and friendly until they're ready to pull the plug on us. All-out war is inefficient.
...and you get Max Headroom.
From "The Book of Eli" - "They're never loaded."
Hah! You said "common sense" and "government" in the same sentence! LOL!
Looks like a manned missile; reminds me of the cyber missiles in Gunnm / Battle Angel Alita.
