My lawn tractor can tow a 787 on flat, level ground as well. F=ma. Doesn't matter what m is, if you have a net force, you have acceleration. It doesn't take much force to overcome wheel bearing friction in landing gear.
Even with full inflation there is an amount of flexing in the plane's tires that adds up to non trivial resistance. Your lawn tractor's engine may be able to do it but its own weight and tires may not provide enough traction to pull the plane.
well if I were a time traveler I would never show up at a "party for time travelers". Just think about the problems I would have as soon as I proved to be a time traveler, at minimum I would end up locked in some secret government facility or worse.
Except the guy hosting the party was in no shape whatsoever to try to lock anyone up.
The construction of this tunnel seems to be moving at an incredible pace. How is it going so fast?
Look at how small it is. A typical subway train tunnel is triple that diameter. The worker at the end of the video can barely stand up without bumping his head and that's no even on a rail car with wheel undercarriage. The main way they're making this one quickly is because it will be a mini-subway. Getting in and out will be stepping down into it and sitting only while the carriage roof doubles as the door. Which I guess means the real question is how it will be ADA compliant.
it's closing in on 6,000. Judging by the sheer number of signatures coming in each minute, it shouldn't take long for it to hit the 5,000-signature milestone.
but I think the argument is going to be that Obama was following the various laws when the rules were put in place
Laws like that are the problem. Congress outsources its duties to legislate to ginormous federal agencies with vague mandates. Then the current president has tremendous leeway to pander to whoever.
Just set up some government server(s) as a "user's computer" and subscribe it to every WeChat group. Presto, all the chat history is only stored on users' computers.
It is probably a 'not for profit' which is a bit different.
Well, whoever wrote that wiki is grinding a US tax code-centric axe while in general use these terms are equivalent for this article's discussion purposes.
Non-profit organizations just don't have shareholders/owners who get paid. Employees can and do get whopping salaries. For example there's a good chance your local hospital is organized as a non-profit but the president/CEO takes home around 7 figures.
You just arbitrarily stop at the point you want, without logic or reason. You know, asserting false facts to support your opinion. You should be in politics. Yes, that's an insult.
It's too hard to roll a BA Econ degree into this little text input box. Please feel free to learn on your own about the impact of taxes on prices and where taxes all ultimately are paid.
We also need a flat tax that's paid by employers, so "regular employees" don't ever have to file taxes on their wages.
Then everyone thinks government services are "free" since they never see their own bill. It's bad enough that even with filing taxes means some people think that "getting a refund" is their total tax bill.
Regressive taxes ought to be illegal anyway. There's really no good reason for them to exist, only bad ones.
What state do you live in that sales tax is lower on something more expensive?
In any case, only sales tax puts the tax bill at an individual which is where all wealth resides and is therefore the final stop for all taxes anyway. Taxes at other levels such as corporate taxes are passed on to the customers (individuals) and personal income is too subject to manipulation.
However, if the company is held responsible for each and every one of those remaining accidents, are they going to sell those cars? Probably not.
If you substitute "firearms manufacturers" for "car manufacturers" this is indeed what can happen to manufacturers who become demonized through the misuse of their products. All wanna-be AI car makers, take note.
Why does it have to "fit in a robot"? What does that even mean when you can have robotics spacecraft, submarines, cargo ships and airplanes? Are you talking about something like DR's Petman? Would a robotics mule work? Or Asimo? Why does physical size, location or form matter in the least?
Because the article is about assigning liability, which has to end up at some discrete designation and that is the part these people haven't thought through very well. How do you assign liability for an individual robot's action to "the cloud"?
We are a loooooong way from a mobile/portable AI computing system that can fit in a robot. And there's very little to think that may be the case in the foreseeable future. Robots with enough AI to need personhood will probably be controlled from a remote data center which in turn will probably control a bunch of them. (Yes, I know I just described Skynet) Anyway, sci-fi aside, just look at what the Air Force does with drones. Replace humans in the control center with AI and there you have it.

So because "the market" wants thin 99% of actual people seem to put their thin smart phones in some sort of case that makes it thicker?
Where are you that 99% of people are thin? Around here it's more like 50%.

I would love to live an extended life or "forever".
"Extended" would be cool but forever would not. The Black Hole era will probably be boring and the Dark Era will be downright tedious.
Wrong header
It should read: Ever more stupid and greedy people online.
Paying well-forged invoices is neither stupid nor greedy.

Thet don't need to. The Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution killed as many people as the entire second world war.

This falls into the latter category. This particular idiot should be banned from driving for life.
That's OK, he can just ride in the passenger seat.
Did anyone bother to check if there was an actual fire or are they too busy kvetching about the noise?

seeking to hire a manager to build an 'end-to-end SoC/ASIC
lolz - Good luck; the vast majority of managers top out at building powerpoint presentations.
XX% Our Grads are working in their field. Starbucks seems to fit in to a lot Fields in their minds.
And in turn, Starbucks has a generous tuition reimbursement program for employees. It's a vicious cycle!

Panasonic marketing keeps trying to kill the Eneloop brand
WTF you talking about? Panasonic branded Eneloops are on the shelf at Costco right now.
I would like to point out a flaw in this logic.
