What must be more sad (if it's a question of volume) is that uncounted numbers of people like Turing were then, before, and are treated this way today, but there is no sympathy or support or help for them because they are just people and not geniuses. We don't know who most of them are because, like Turing, they hide the truth from most people in their lives. They may not be subject to hormone therapy (though some were) but are ostracized, ridiculed, excluded, persecuted, killed. Even here on Slashdot surrounded by supposedly smart people. We can do better.
From that miniscule clip, these untrained eyes really can't tell the difference in trails - they are both somewhat fan-shaped, expanding to 3 - 4 times the width of the vehicle. In the LA footage, the trail seems to snake quickly back and forth. The footage in your link is too close-up to see any of that, so I can't compare. I also can't tell if any more minor differences in detail (color? speed?) are due to the different ways the shots were taken. Could be the same to me.
I've seen in other stories, though not here, that the Walkman was killed by the superior Ipod. I hope that myth doesn't proliferate here. There were hundreds of mp3 players out before the ipod, which was just a better (cleaned-up) and cheaper implementation of digital "medialess" technology. The walkman was wonderful for its degree of portability at the time it came out. What could possibly kill the mp3 player, or the music-streaming service? Envision your answer now.
Having objects, linear or otherwise, with a differing array of N/S, or plusses and minusses, that can attract or repel allows one to create objects that can interact in ways similar to proteins that fold - objects will be able to configure or reconfigure in very interesting ways. And we can see it in our space, without microscopes, and play with them.
TV's cost upwards of $1000. Unemployment continues to be very high in the USA. For 30 years we've been moving the tax burden from the rich to the middle class, and then outsourcing middle-class jobs to cheaper countries. Maybe that's why the middle class isn't lining up to buy the latest shiny toys that they don't really need - because many are not there anymore.
...between an artificial heart and a robotic heart?
As you say, left ventricular assist devices have been around for some time, and fully artificial heart replacements (or temporary substitutes) are not new either. They just were not called "robotic hearts" before. They were called artificial hearts.
What makes this a "robotic heart", or is this phraseology just journalistic license? The article doesn't help.
And while you're thanking your union for making it harder to replace you with lower wage workers, thank unions for the 5-day week, paid vacations, sick leave, and pensions.
Will each individual autonomous car be required to take a driver's test, or will the FCC or DMV or whoever grant USA driving status to autonomous systems as part of their approval process?
And after 21 years, will the car then be eligible to drink and vote (18 years to vote) and borrow money?
In the battle for the corporate branding of everything, Walmart owns the minimum-wage-and-under mindset. Some call it evil, some call it an opportunity. Walmart currently calls it a $400+ billion dollar a year business.
I'll know it's time to leave when the law says I am required to buy things from one of them or go to jail.
By the seems of things Word is overly sufficient. The bloatware has produced bloatwork that renders the result not even unusable, but counter-productive.
>>The Nevada Highway Patrol isn't keen on the idea, saying it would lead to increased injuries and traffic deaths. And hospital costs would eat into the $billion jackpot, um, I mean revenue.
I would gladly pay $25 for the opportunity to go 90mph by the elementary school: there is no word on where the speeding would be restricted to. How about mall parking lots? Cool.
Nevada does have long stretches of nothing, even outside their politician's heads. Drivers can probably go fast there with minimal consequences.
Why? Because it's more exciting to launch a multi-billion dollar vehicle out billions of miles and engineer the safe return of some metallic dirt, than to drive over to similar dirt here on Earth and pick it up.

It's the Mexican drug cartels asking us politely to leave them the f* alone.

Nobody thought that it might be a demonstration to the US from an unnamed entity, trying to make the same point?
Is Dr. Evil on TV right now?
No, we should discuss their censorship.
But the discussion should be encrypted.
Lex Luthor tunneling from below to steal them again, no doubt.

Or self-assembling cars, or factories.

Regardless of their authority to do so, banning blotting out the sun strikes me as a good thing. I mean, it's the sun.

Back in the day, we called it a "burn".
Do you prefer not to work because you were fired?
And while you're thanking your union for making it harder to replace you with lower wage workers, thank unions for the 5-day week, paid vacations, sick leave, and pensions.
Non-union employees - how's your sick leave?

This is actually a wonderful question. Start with:
Chile, Nicaragua, South Vietnam.
Plus Hawaii, Cuba, Philippines, Honduras, Iran, Guatemala, Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq, Indonesia, Haiti.
Others?
Why? Because it's more exciting to launch a multi-billion dollar vehicle out billions of miles and engineer the safe return of some metallic dirt, than to drive over to similar dirt here on Earth and pick it up.
Just enter the numbers as decimal bit values in a video file, and you'll be surprised at the resulting picture!
If "literally" literally means metaphorically, what does it really mean?
That's it!
