See it like this:
A black hole (size 0) combines with another black hole (size 0) to form a bigger black hole (size 0). 0+0=0 so that works. As for location: black holes do have a location. It's at the center of their schwarschild radius.
All this is difficult to know for sure. We can hardly go and take a look.
Assuming that our current understanding of physics is correct, there is nothing that can travel beyond the speed of light through space-time.
That does leave us with some loopholes.
1. Our understanding of physics could be incomplete. There is much yet to discover, so this may be the case. However, the current models are verified extremely precisely.
2. Warp drives. Not traveling through space-time but morphing it would help. However this seems to require massive amounts of energy. I believe the last calculations said: about the mass of Jupiter.
3. Subspace. Not traveling through space-time but through something else would help. However we have no reason to believe there is a realm outside space-time, let alone get there, let alone survive there.

5. Profit.
None, they won't need to chase a Google self driving car. They just call Google and the car stops at the nearest police station with the doors locked and the entry key reset to the police key.
No you don't have to hold them. I use bike bags to do my shopping and I can simply throw them in my shopping cart. About once a year I get asked if they can look into the bags because of anti-shoplifting measures but for the rest they are just conveniently out of the way during shopping and at the right height to pack my shopping in after paying.
You haven't been out amongst other humans lately have you? Obesity is one of the most common diseases nowadays. Some people eat until they can't walk anymore and then get a mobility scooter to get around again. Self control is not what makes us human. Many humans haven't got the smallest shred of it. Of course, assuming that overweight is a major evolutionary disadvantage, the humans without self control will die out in time. However we aren't there yet.
As it would make fuel efficient vehicles even more attractive this wouldn't be a problem IMHO. The government also has to deal with the results of the CO2 that is emitted into the atmosphere (in the form of droughts, floods and stuff like that) so they should tax the production of CO2 heavily.
When I am done with my current set of modifications that red cocoon will have orange sidelights almost over the complete length of the body. But even when I am not Questing I wear a fluorescent yellow jacket and my lights work. I like to be visible because I don't like to be a bloody mess. It's hard to clean blood off a jacket.
Every one's optic nerve is different. You have learned that if an object moves from nerve ASJQ25 to FJQL76 then it is moving to the left. You learned that during your infancy, in the first month(s) after your birth. My optic nerve is wired completely different. If you think about it, what a baby learns before we can communicate with him/her is astounding. On average we have approximately 5M cones in each eye , times 3 because these send 3 signals gives 15M wires for color vision. We also have rods, approximately 100M in each eye, which only detect gray scale. That's 115 different signals in 1.2M neurons in each eye without any consciously known logic or mapping to it. A baby must probably learn which maps to which before (s)he can actually see. But this also creates a problem for researchers. To install a bionic eye without any adaptation process for the user would mean we need to find out which neuron maps to which cone or rod and what the exact signal is that represents that signal. On top of that we need to get the correct neuron (which is almost impossible).
Nope. The micro SD slot can be nicely located with the SIM card beneath the replaceable battery under the back cover that has it's own seal. See the Galaxy S4 Active. As you are not likely to access these parts twice a day you can take care in cleaning it properly before closing it. An even better solution would be to make the battery slot separate from the phone. If the user fails to seal the battery slot properly the phone is protected by a secondary seal. The phone will shut down if water gets to the battery because that would short the battery, of course, but it will not be damaged. This would require short proof batteries and sealed battery/micro SD/SIM card slots. Short proof batteries are not a big deal, as batteries already have semi intelligent charge controllers. They could shut the output down beyond a set current draw (to be fair, I would be appalled if they didn't do that already, to prevent a software error blowing up the device in your hands).
Not true. You can get waterproof microphones and speakers, else my Galaxy S4 Active would not exist. To be fair, I don't consider the phone to be waterproof as the waterproof seal depends on a cover over the USB port (which is crappy designed, is defeated by some sand and wears with the twice a day charging that the device needs). They could have used a gold plated waterproof USB port. That means that it's not a seal but a cop out. If there gets water in the phone, they can claim that the customer did not close the seal properly because the customer can't prove that that's not true. That's how Motorola does it and that will be how Samsung does it.
I take care that I am suitably visible and if I share a road with cars that means that the max speed should be 60km/h for the cars. If it's faster then there is usually a separate bike lane. This gives them enough time to avoid me properly. If I dodge for every truck that will pass me the I will never arrive at my destination and I would look like an idiot. This means that I would not use the information, so I don't need to have it. Mind, I have my headphones on so softly that I can still hear traffic sounds. Not near hard enough to drown out a blaring car horn, because that would mean that I would get hearing damage and I like to hear my music properly.
Then again, I don't live in the US. I live in the Netherlands and biking is far more common here.
A HERF is a converted microwave oven. They usually range in the 800-1500 W range. That is a directed energy weapon. It's also bad for other electronics and illegal in most countries (EM emission limits and all that).
Nope. That an UAV is vulnerable to extreme high power microwaves just doesn't surprise me. There is a lot that would be destroyed with a blast from such a HERF gun. Wifi interfaces and bluetooth devices especially like it. That is why it is usually illegal (and stupid) to use a microwave oven with a damaged containment.
I can tell you the voltage: 5 V +-0.25V (assuming the USB port is within spec). What you need is the current, so an ampere meter is required. A multimeter is custom.
However, that is clumsy. You need to get to the power leads, without shorting the power or data leads (as shorting the data leads defaults the current to 100 ma). The idea is good but there are better solutions, as indicated by other posters.
The neighbor owned the cat. The neighbor should have taught the cat not to leave their property, installed a incentive for the cat not to leave the property (electric fence works wonders) or kept the cat inside if it goes into other people's gardens. If someone claims that that is cruel to cats this just means they know cats are not suitable as pets. If my dog decides to go to the neighbor's garden I have a duty to teach it not to (or to prevent it from doing so. This also works as teaching) unless the neighbor specifically states that it isn't a problem.
How then will you find the correct canaries? If you can detect it then a sufficiently advanced search program can find it. For example: the program could only look at the head of the page, not the body.
I find the new alcohol-free Weizen beers to be quite good, as a designated driver drink for example. Erdinger Alkoholfrei suits my taste well. I really like the normal Erdinger so that was a safe bet. Bavaria 0.0 wit(Google translated version) is a daily "relaxing drink" for me. There are many alcohol free weizen beers nowadays: Paulaner, Schneider, Franziskaner (German) and many others. Google for alkoholfrei weizenbier, although that would demand some experience in the German language (as this is where all Weizen beers come from).
I would advise against placing floating battery packs in typhoon risk areas. If they rupture the chemicals would pollute heavily. I would advise a different energy storage system, for example a hydrogen plant. It could split clean water into hydrogen and oxygen and recombine it in a fuel cell to electricity. If this installation is damaged the pollution levels will be limited: the energy storage medium will simply explode, leaving no hazardous chemical traces. The efficiency would be a problem though.
In most cases "If it fails it will explode and there will be no trouble" is wrong, but I think it is applicable here.
If scarcity of current stuff ends we'll find new stuff to be scarce. That's how we work, it would just move from basic survival stuff to luxury goods. And that would be good.
However, it is more probable that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer (unless something big happens). Thus the poor will not be able to afford a place to live, although food may be cheap enough to be almost free.
You would also need to have the same tests for car drivers as for pilots. A significant fraction of cars EOL due to driver error. And you would need the same amount of info available to them. A pilot has screens and stuff that tell him about the environment, while a driver doesn't know what is going to come around the next corner. It may be an idiot doing 90 in a residential zone.

Yes, of course there are illegal tools that can down them.

Do I understand that you didn't first talk to the neighbor?
The neighbor owned the cat. The neighbor should have taught the cat not to leave their property, installed a incentive for the cat not to leave the property (electric fence works wonders) or kept the cat inside if it goes into other people's gardens.
