Or possibly even pure electric depending on whether we can get the range. Milk floats - which have a fairly similar life - have been mainly electric for decades.
We either need batteries that can last all day, or that can be replaced quickly as part of the daily schedule, but those are technically achievable.
They're toying with the idea in Britain - overhead electric with a diesel generator for non-electrified stretches. Probably not what people have in mind when they consider hybrid but it does fit the definition.
The article doesn't go into a lot of detail about the justification for the lawsuit. It looks like they're after punitive damages for wrongful arrest discrimination and whatever else they can get to stick. No idea how successfuk this would bel
2) once the jury hears about his overly-activist father and the lawyer's insinuation that the whole thing was a set-up?
I seriously doubt that they expect this to get anywhere near a jury. These things are usually settled out of court. Lawsuits are expensive for the defendant even if you win.
Requires physical transfers, transfers through a banking system (which the government has a lot of control over), or a trusted third party (who can be arrested if they're funding terrorists). All of these have their weaknesses.
Probably the safest way to communicate as well. So much data to sift through means it can't be reasonably tapped without a good idea of who the terrorists are. Even terrorists are going to be mostly sending "hi how r u" type texts.
Sadly this seems to be media hysteria more than anything else. Let me give you an analogy - you know how often the media completely screws up the technical detail relating to pretty much any science or tech story, completely missing the point of anything more complicated than web browsing? The do exactly the same when it comes to law.
The bill makes no explicit mention of encryption except as it pertains to the existing law. So presumably the legal scholars of slashdot will let me know exactly which of the provisions in this hefty pdf outlaws encryption.
Personal debt is slavery. As you say, business debt is quite a different animal. The debt becomes part of the business, which you can relatively easily divest yourself of. You no longer have the business but you also no longer have the debt.
Of course, personal debt being slavery is a bit of a simplification as well.
Turns out they ALL had 19 micron tape-heads (whatever the hell that *meant*) as it was the spec for a VCR tape head, at the time, at least. It was just another bit of science-y sounding technobabble to put on the card.
First episode of "Mad Men" has something similar to this, with an "it's toasted" slogan.
For the nerds who are wondering (this is a site for nerds after all), and don't already know (this is a site for nerds after all), the tape head is essentially a C-shaped electromagnet with a 19 micron gap between the prongs. It needs to be 19 microns wide to work with VHS tapes.
I did have an old mechanical adding machine made by the same company as the one in your video. It was one of the many pieces of obsolete junk my dad had. Could add, subtract, multiply, and apparently divide. Not quite sure how division worked. I think multiplication needed to be done 1 digit at a time (and multiple turns of the handle per digit) so a slide rule is obviously faster.
The mechanical device is more useful for accounts. A slide rule is no good if numbers need to be exact. They're great for engineers because the slide rule just needs to have the same precision as the hardware.
This bill is supported by both Labour and Conservative. So that means at least 44% of voters voted for the "asshats". And a further 33.9% didn't care either way so I don't see why their opinion matters.
If we switched to proportional representation, then we'd have a Conservative/UKIP coalition. Is that what you'd prefer?
would also oblige vendors such as Apple not to provide consumer-level encryption that the vendor cannot access itself
The draft bill says nothing of the sort.
It does say something that suggests existing law (RIPA) already made this the case, but if that was the case, vendors would not be providing unbreakable encryption.

Really? Surely that took the Brighton line, which I thought was electrified all the way to Victoria.

These are diesel-electric. So are these. And a lot of freight engines throughout the world are as well.

No. Free speech is the freedom to speak. Whether from the government or a private institution.
Cinemas don't offer it and never have done. Nor is there anything wrong with this.
There might be. There might be a poison capsule hidden in there.
Is there?

Isn't the ticket revenue more of a city level thing though? And presumably autonomous cars are a state level decision.

How encryption make that impossible? It's only a requirement to store domains and phone numbers. Those aren't encrypted in the first place.
No. It doesn't.

All of them? Literally every single bad guy? All of them have the sophistication necessary to realise his is an issue?
Not one of them is going to slip up and fail to realise just how much you can deduce from metadata and educated guesses?
Why will poverty level go up? Much more will be automated, so it will be cheaper. The net production levels will remain the same.
How many millions had their jobs replaced by mechanised production lines, and then by robots?
Unless the change happens overnight, society will adapt to take advantage of the huge surplus workforce for jobs that machines can't do.
Yes, but neither of them are necessarily news. This is some statistical data that may or may not be useful.

The same company later made motorised versions. But the main advantages a slide rule has are cheapness, and portability.

Which part of the bill says that? I mean there's 300 pages so I will admit I just skimmed it.

It was used by banks. No idea if any of them are still using it. It's probably lurking in a few ATMs still.
Yes. Of course they should lose billions of pounds worth of revenue in order to protest a silly law.
Or they could say why it's not going to work during the consultation phase.
Of course all this assumes that the Telegraph's information is remotely accurate.
