The Apollo 18 Saturn V is at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Bruce. I played on that thing when I was kid. In conjunction with the Smithsonian, it was restored back in 2007 and a building was built around it to protect it from the elements. It's quite a sight to behold!
My '63 Imperial has "Auto Pilot" (Chrysler's name, not mine). It can run in 2 modes. Turn the dial to the speed you want to go and hit the center start button. Or, you can set the dial to the max speed you want to go. The gas pedal gets very hard at that point indicating you've reached that limit.
This goes way back further than that. My dad's 1975 F-150 had a dash light that would illuminate when you were "wasteful" of fuel. It ran of a vacuum port of the carburetor.
China didn't start out with multiple vendors to provide the hardware. They grew it over time.
Manufacturing in the US is sustainable and it doesn't have be for slave wages either. It takes automation and time to ramp up suppliers. But, this can't happen over night. Apple knows that. And those screws? They can get the material from China overnight. The connections are still there. Apple just doesn't know them because they lost connection with their own supply chain.
First thought that came to me as well when reading the headline.
Let's stop with the glued in batteries and make cell phones that can have their batteries replaced without resorting to a lab. And, allow the latest version on Android to be flashed without a lot of hurtles? Let the consumer decided if performance is at a point where the phone needs to be replaced.
Oh yeah, they want me to spend $1000 or more on a new phone every 18 months.
Frankly, it would be move valuable to share good educational links rather than Google paying to get more content. I believe there's plenty of good content. The hard part is separating the wheat from the chaff.
Some sites I enjoy are: * Technology Connections * SmarterEveryDay * The Coding Train
I disagree. I learned my first computer language as a 9th grader: "My Computer Likes Me When I speak in BASIC". It was a good intro and make me pick up PASCAL as a "real" language later. All of that lead me to disassemble the disk controller in my TRS-80 one summer.
But, your premise that anyone can learn CS is true. It takes a level of curiosity that some kids don't want to apply. At least exposing some of the concepts could open others to the possibility.
Rich was the first person I thought of when I clicked on the article's link. Awesome youtube channel and a real inspiration to us still living in the ICE-age. When I saw his gutted car, I couldn't imagine myself being able to put it all back together again.
Two thumbs-up for people doing this stuff. I'm very impressed!
I'm currently using 3 RPi's running OpenElec to stream movies via CIFS from one of them as master. Works great. I never looked at how to use them to connect to torrents (d/l speed is horrible with my ATT service). But, after reading this, maybe I need to go watch some tutorials.
Isn't a conveyor what Burger King has been using for > 40 years now? It's "flame grilled" too. So, it's not "baked". Seems that McD's is just catching up with competition here.
No, but the death of the Replaceable Battery seems to be in evidence!
I'm not talking about easy replacement like the Galaxy S5 has (although that's nice). I'd settle for being able to open the back and remove the battery on my workbench without a heatgun and surgical tools.
It doesn't have to be the size of a brick to have a replaceable battery. Gluing the phone together like the S7 is makes it virtually impossible to install a new battery. It doesn't have to be that way.
Sorry. I'm sitting on the fence on this one. His first day of executive orders are A1 in my book. But, I am concerned that his moral compass needs tuning.
In comparison to his competition -- especially listening to the rhetoric from Jerry Brown -- you'd think the world was coming to an end. It's not.
I expect to disagree with Mr. Trump quite a bit; I'm not buying the KoolAid. But, I'm also not a fan of where Mr. Obama has led this nation in the last 8 years either.

Note, the max speed limit in Texas is currently 85 MPH. That's 27 MPH more.
Regardless, it should be the DRIVERS DECISION, not the manufacture. Matters not to me; I'll refrain from purchasing a Volvo for my next vehicle.

Yay! they have Ernest Movies! I can't wait!
2 factor hardware authentication would solve this, frankly.
I see your point. You've got some great content!
How do you find the good geek stuff and skip the fluff?
I must not be good at searching for content on YT. I even support people via Patreon for good stuff.
Let's start a thread of alternate GOOD free resources for the alternatives...
Got any?
Explorer I was the first successful US satellite launched on Jan. 31, 1958. It burned up in the atmosphere on March 30, 1970.
Thanks for the tip! Looks like only one phone on the Android One program is targeted for the US marked (Nokia 7.1 available at the end of this month).
Jody,
Thanks for the link to "the rest of the story". Very powerful and moving.
Blind taste tests show no preference for one or the other.

Just google it. Example: Lakewood welfare fraud. In light of that case, 159 people were granted amesty to the tune of $2.2 million.

Please cite the incident. I can't find it with a Google search.

Why do these phones have to be disposable?

Extend the runway. gotta be cheaper than tunnels to LAX
