OK.. looks interesting, but then I looked into the regulations:
ePrix Races will begin by standing start and last for approximately one hour with drivers making one mandatory pit stop in order to change cars. Power will be restricted to 'race mode' (150kw / 202.5bhp) but for those drivers with FanBoost, the power output can be temporarily increased to 180kw / 243bhp for 5 secs per car
FanBoost Fans can give their favourite driver an extra speed boost by voting for them prior to the race. The three drivers with the most votes will each receive a 5-second ‘power boost’ per car per driver, temporarily increasing their car’s power from 150kw to 180kw. Just click here to cast your vote. You can change your mind as many times as you want until voting closes a short time before the start of the race.
Seeing that made me cringe big time. What ever happened to man and machine simply doing battle head to head?
Many times we have been told that developments in motor racing eventually trickle down to consumer products. So my question is where is the electric racing happening, and are improvements being made in this manner? In asking this I'd like to point out the Formula 1 teams that are now using super caps as a part of that series foray into hybrid technologies - which is a technology that could easily be applied to consumer hybrids right now.
A thousand points to the person/group that does a "positive hack." Instead of the obvious string of obscenities, have Barbie embrace geekiness and the maker culture instead of being a brainless bimbo.
Talky Tina would be a great hack. And she is certainly not a brainless bimbo
They are loaded with the "blood" of various champion animals through recorded provenance.
If the horse is a clone, then doesn't it have the provenance of horse whose clone it is?
On the other hand does the birth mare contribute biological material to the fetus, thus meaning that there can be no such thing as a true clone?
On the third hand, I have no I idea if these breeding associations accept In vitro fertilization and surrogacy as a part of their breeding programs? - if they do, that would invalidate my second point.

This is my experience: When interviewing EEs and CS degreed employees, I'll chose the EE over CS 9 out of 10 times for a software job.
The trouble is that as a dyed-in-the wool EE with experience in lots of software, I hate working on websites and business systems. And that's my only real choice if there is no manufacturing jobs around.
Indeed. Now how long before a Nigerian prince can offer me low cost penile transplants?
Funny you should say that.
Only this morning I received an email from the director of the St Peter Private hospital in Benin City, stating that I was the only surviving relative of Nigerian prince who had died in a horrendous accident. Do to the nature of that accident they only managed to save his penis, and that in order to maintain the royal line, they needed to transplant it onto me as soon as possible (something about the royal house's flag having a rampant penis - and requiring that rampant penis to be displayed on state occasions). Once this operation was performed I would be awarded all the rewards of that royal household (money, women, power - the usual stuff), but due the death of the prince causing the country to fall into paralysis, they needed me to send $5K to them so that they can fuel up the royal plane and send it out to collect me.
It all sounds legitimate, so I am off to pack my bags.
Besides the "ick" factor why aren't there trans people walking around with donated penises?
Let me try to answer with a car analogy.
This is like asking why there aren't Toyota Camry's driving around using transmissions from a Ford Mustang. In order to do a transplant you need to have components that are fundamentally compatible in the first place.
On the other hand, my understanding is that surgeons can craft (to some extent) a penis from the tissue in a FtM patients vagina.
Legal means "A court has not declared it illegal".
And again that comes down to "Whose court?". The internet is not solely the domain of the US, and why should an ISP be able to deprive me of something that is legal elsewhere?
And I would have imagined that by now this would just happen if you pushed some buttons. Like maybe you'd have some sort of lathe with different sizes of stock, and then that would turn to diameter and part before the gear went off to another machine to get ground.
You just described a modern, automated manufacturing process. They exist (and are called CNC machines, not lathes), but they are not cost effective to the point that you want.
I would have thought that by now you'd be able to call someone up and they'd just punch some buttons and a machine would spit you out some custom gears for a reasonable amount of money, but as far as I know that hasn't yet happened. Anyone know different?
I really don't want to troll, but these "articles" themselves are trolling. 3D printing as a form of non-useful replication is a waste of time.
In this particular case I am not so sure it is a waste of time. The model was printed as parts and then hand assembled into the final product, and the TFA says that any person doing this would end up knowing how a real transmission was put together. Thus there is a lot of educational value in doing it.
I don't know if you have ever tried building a transmission (I haven't, but I have rebuilt a few motorcycle top ends).It also seems to me that being able to do a desk top build of a real transmission is going to be a hell of a lot easier and with far less mess than wrestling with 100 to 200lbs of metal.
Sure this transmission is nothing that couldn't have been produced with traditional injection molding, but I doubt that the tooling costs would have made it feasible to build a replica of the genuine toyota transmission for the number of people who would be printing this model.
Curious how you felt about photographers who didn't want to shoot gay weddings getting forced to do that by the courts.
Should a company be able to decide to serve to because of ideology, or not?
I see your point of view, and generally agree with it. But one example of a company that refused to do service with Cody was an insurance company. They probably assessed his business as a risk that they didn't want to deal with and hence withdrew their business. But would you also force insurance companies to insure you regardless of the business venture? (EG using hyperbole - a children's petting zoo that had an open, live spitting cobra pen)
Personally I would support the insurance company in this instance, but feel that FedEx and UPS are out of line. However as I mentioned in a post below, it is possible that FedEx and UPS (as attempted to be used by Cody) are potentially not common carriers, so may have the right to refuse business, although IANAL.

o god, i had no idea.......I wasnt promoting Formula E, i think its silly, but what you posted takes silly to a whole other level.
Well I didn't know about the race, and if I could go I would be interested. But FanBoost?!?!? That is indescribable.
Formula E?

Since when does a collection of low powered machines ever deserve the term "Supercomputer"?
Even the TFA doesn't call it a Supercomputer.
All I can assume is a click-bait headline
The Handyman's Secret Weapon.
And korean gangsta rap fixes the audio
Yes .. it exists IZ "Roll Wit a Gangsta"
Fuck Yahoo! This is just a sleazy way to collect phone numbers and associate them with email addresses.
You seriously don't think that this practice is confined to Yahoo! do you?
So found your own quarter horse association and set up the rules you like.
With blackjack? and hookers?

Dragging Hitler/Nazis into a discussion is a lazy way to try to claim some moral high ground.
Says you, whose entire argument is based around mentioning Hitler.

I took it to mean that ISPs can't be held accountable for blocking "Warez And Viruses R Us Dot Com"
But "Warez And Viruses R Us Dot Com" is legally registered and permitted to do business in outer Elbonia
1) No Blocking - An ISP can't block legal content for any reason.
What is the definition of "Legal". For example, are online casinos not based in the US legal?
PS: You DO have backups.... right?
That's what the other SSD's are for.
Oh, wait.
and make people believe it... just based on theories.
You do know that Gravity is also only a theory?
Sure, but what other manufacturing technique is faster while not being overly expensive ?
Manufacturing is a classic "Pick 2 of the 3" type tradeoffs.
And I would have imagined that by now this would just happen if you pushed some buttons. Like maybe you'd have some sort of lathe with different sizes of stock, and then that would turn to diameter and part before the gear went off to another machine to get ground.

If you have the $$$ you can get all sorts of things printed. But while not being a public job-shop, Ford is using 3D printing for prototypes: Inside Ford's 3D Printing Lab, where thousands of parts are made
