That's the way it was supposed to work to begin with. The Federalist Papers assured people afraid of Federal tyranny that the states would protect their citizens.
Then the South went and ruined it for everyone, probably forever.
Interestingly, both approaches have been tried in aviation.
A while back, Aviation Week reported on an experimental system that could override fighter pilots when they would otherwise crash. It waited until the absolute last second, when the required maneuver was just within the structural limits of the airframe.
Using humans as backups has a long and good operational history, but it might not work as well with undertrained personnel like car drivers. Even with highly trained pilots, dropping control onto a human suddenly in a disorienting situation can be problematic, e.g. Air France 447.
One problem which (only) partially accounts for it is that there are probably valuable customers with mission-critical in-house applications which depend on the half-completed, archaic, abandoned code.
Thus discriminating against the people most devoted to technology.
I know people at Microsoft, and know more than one who got a review that basically said "You met all your objectives on time, this is unsatisfactory performance, get out before we fire you". All of them were hardcore nerds.
An anecdotal data point backing this up is that one of my business contacts goes to meetings at Microsoft and when the MS people pull out their cell phones, 6 of 7 are iPhones.
OK, but isn't the same thing happening to the water molecules that don't have ions nearby? Water makes intense hydrogen bonds, that's why it has such extreme properties. It used to be a cliche in chemistry that instead of H2O it should be called H120O60.
It's only a few nuclei that fall completely apart when they encounter a neutron. In fact, the first time physicists observed that happening, it was so unexpected that they didn't realize at first that it was what they were seeing.
Most absorb the neutron, often having a secondary reaction that changes them to a different element.
Tritium is not sorted out of seawater. With a half-life of 12 years it isn't found in nature. You may be thinking of deuterium.
Bruce Schneier argues that whatever the procedures, if we want to get professional security we should treat the job as a profession, and recruit, train, and pay accordingly.
I've been taking the train ever since the latest changes.
It costs more, it takes two days and several hours to my usual destination, it leaves me with a longer distance from the nearest stop to my final destination and gets in at 3 in the morning.
On the plus side, it's actually fun.
It will not, however, work for the next time I want to visit Iceland.
Yes, a thousand times yes. Anybody in a potential disaster area needs an alternate processing site, unless there's an incredibly slack Recovery Time Objective, in which case just order new hardware from the insurance money and restore the offsite backups.
A portal that displays entertainment recommendations sounds like advertising. There's an immediate revenue stream.
The article also points out that later on it will be paid for by users, so this could also be a loss-leader foot-in-the-door move by Virgin. Direct payments by users would prevent it from being a burden on people who just pay a subway fare without using the service.

>These days we count poverty as economic disparity
The poverty line is still defined as the sum of the cost of necessities.
They're only getting access to medical care, housing, and food via Medicaid, Section 8, and SNAP.
The ARRA was in 2009.

There is no tradeoff.
Give up all freedom, and you have a police state. Those are horribly dangerous to live in. They don't eliminate non-state terrorism, either.
What does "security" mean, anyway? What are we trying to protect? Guess what, our freedom.

Yep. Bismuth, for example, has a half life measured in quadrillions of years, and is so safe it's sold over the counter for internal use.
Chemical poisons such as arsenic and mercury stay toxic forever, and somehow nobody seems to worry about labeling places where they get dumped.
A Korean person explains:

Make your own decisions about his reliability, of course, but he does have the advantage of being able to read the Korean-language media.

A war with someone who has nuclear weapons.

The Screen Actors Guild is proof that it doesn't have to be that way.

Some industrial and mechanical applications might also be good early adopters. No "medical device" overhead to deal with, and a good-sized market.
It can't be outsourced, and have you ever heard of an unemployed plumber?
It's meaningful work, too, work which has saved more lives over the centuries than doctors have.
(Even I can't tell if I'm serious about this).

It's shells of lipid (fat) around gaseous oxygen, so it should be compressible.
They illustrated that crimes can be solved by normal police work without spying on hundreds of millions of innocent people.

It's called "traffic analysis", and it's a wonderful source of intelligence even in its simplest forms.
Of those nations, Canada seems the most likely to assist with a US official "request". Iceland would love to resist but has little power.
The article makes it sound like you can control the aiming of the sensors. That could be worthwhile if so.
The science director for the Mars rovers estimated that a trained human could do what a rover does in a day in 45 seconds.
That's three orders of magnitude improvement in productivity to set against the admittedly staggering costs of transporting and supporting humans.
