Prison keeping is hard. Is it be better to have your skin parted with an improvised stabbing device or contract lung disease? Too many tough decisions...
Yes. Which seemingly serves the same supply and demand principle as outlawing liquor and meth... $125 for a package of Bugler tobacco at the County Shelter o' Trey Hots and a Cot.
There was a movement at a college not long ago, a green movement to be exact (have to be specific with the/. demographic), and the average electrical savings for various infinitesimal lifestyle changes was quite remarkable.
Leaving the phone charger plugged in, for example, uses an average of.26 watts versus 2.24 when your link to the civilized world is charging... and, don't get me started on the cost of leaving a single DVR cable box plugged in year round. According top the 1st random study google provided, $43 and change.
Moral: Don't be a selfish dick... plug your shit in when you're ready to use it.
If so, this story is still icing the lead on each of the 24 hour news cycle repeaters. Unfortunately, a lot of folks bent on killing themselves will still be attracted to this infamous way out.
Single pilot plane crashes, parachutes that don't open, and weapons that misfire during cleaning are each acceptable ways out for the ones tired of life. Taking numerous folks with you so that they remember your name or so your pile of virgins is higher are remarkably contagious conditions.
The copilot is likely either a selfish bastard bent on school-shooter style suicide, or a selfish bastard taking a bunch of folks with him on his phantom trip to his afterlife reward.
The saddest part of the story is the publicity will encourage other malcontents to mimicry.
Not likely. Cement without an aggregate to bond to, such as the gravel (small rocks) you normally find in a sack of Quickrete, is actually quite useless.
TFA doesn't go into very much detail either, such as how the Bering Strait might be circumvented or how exactly the "massive economic returns would more than make up for the massive cash outlay".
In the plus column:
It does mention Yakunin is considered a likely successor to Putin, so if you consider the excursions of the current Russian leader, perhaps this dreamer is still an improvement.
Otherwise, If the tech becomes popular, I can foresee miscreants making fake "5km/h" signs and the police making mobile "0km/h" signs to abuse the system. Seems like this dovetails really well with a government-controlled killswitch too.
Killswitch. Right, right.
There are too many municipalities suffering from the fallout of a fatal traffic incident caused by the ambiguous pursuit of a suspected criminal for that not to be of interest.
Let your vehicle be controlled just a little, and the next thing you know, someone in gov't is testing boundaries.
What everyone needs to come to grips with is that there is no energy source without environmental impact.
Fixed that for you
I harken back to a simpler time in a class with a respected teacher. I recall when a valued tutorial correction occurred just like this, and I was forever grateful to that esteemed educator for the lifelong lesson.
On that selfsame scale, I find myself nanoseconds in your debt.
Damming a large (or small) river runs the same gauntlet with greenthink groups as most non-petroleum energy sources: It is a bit of an eyesore and it alters the flow of a majestic natural resource. Ironically, environmentalists most interested in alternatives are the pickiest sort.
I think it is clear that alternative sources of energy not only exist, but will be brought to bear once the easy-peasy carbons are depleted or no longer cost-effective.
What everyone needs to come to grips with is that there is no energy source that meets our current demands without some negative environmental impact.
You have to start somewhere, and doing something proactive is statistically better than doing nothing.
While this opportunity will not much effect the future of most Arkansan students, there will be some individual talents discovered that would've otherwise been overlooked.
In order that one might achieve proficiency in his chosen profession someday, a step that cannot be omitted involves failing, occasionally spectacularly, in every imaginable way.
Even for the often flawed human drivers, this rings true. It seems one of the more common single vehicle highway accidents is the slight drift off the road followed by the panicked, aggressive over-correction... experience teaches us to gradually bring the vehicle back in line by fighting the gut-reaction to hurry.
As with all things security, the human element is the weakest link.
Whether we're talking about handling level 4 agents, following protocol in a nuclear reactor, or paying attention working on a 14,400 volt transmission line, we always get complacent and stupidly comfortable.
After doing a dangerous thing enough times, humans lose that life-preserving fear reflex. That's one reason robots will be needed for space travel.

Proper f*cked.

I just assume that, with free wifi, I'm getting precisely what I'm paying for.

I would never want another poster to be wrong more than now.

Because, historically, every great leap in innovative technology immediately implemented itself as progress in one or two tries.
Protip: Even the Enterprise's replicator didn't get medium rare ribye perfect for at least two or three attempts.

You would think so.
There are no statistics that indicate a push for coders is a good idea.
Sure, but if in this example, you are Arkansas, it would be to your advantage to fill as many of the coding jobs with Arkansans as humanly possible.
Statistically, a negligible number of students could be affected in a positive way, but they have the tools trhey need to start learning from home.
The rest of the effort is just a an appeasement to the tax payers in a state rated 44th overall.
Coding will not save the Arkansas school system.
The propensity to describe the number of students affected as negligible is in direct proportion to previously held belief sets.
Although, since this comes from a house with no mods, that and five euros gets you a fancy cup of coffee at the Fivebucks.
While this opportunity will not much effect the future of most Arkansan students, there will be some individual talents discovered that would've otherwise been overlooked.
and then, go the way of the "Domino's 30 minutes or It's Free" campaign.
Now the retinal transplant seems like a plausible future scenario.

It is positively Palinesque that he can tell from there.
I have been described as risk-averse, and I could work within those tolerances.
