>My guess is the Tesla hitting one of the "street poles" (telephone pole?)
Normally these poles are called "utility poles", because most of the time they are installed & owned by the local power utility. There are folks in the electric industry that get down right bristly at the term "telephone pole". Telephone service is inferior (lower down the pole) to power, which is at the top of the pole. (Lowest of all, in every sense of the term, is cable TV service.)
As I recall, Windows 3.1 came with a driver for the case speaker to do sound. Quality was awful, and constantly had a high-pitched ring in the background - but it worked.
The day motherboards started coming with real sound chips built-in was the day I stopped buying sound cards. Good enough for me, considering the quality of speakers I used most of the time.
If people continue to breed as they currently do, we're going to be just fine. Birth rates globally are on the deline. As education (espcially education of women) becomes commonplace in a country, birth rates drop. We are in no danger of over populating the planet. Depending on the projection, "peak people" just might be within our lifetime.
With advancing technology. why can't everyone have a high standard of living? Technology & weath are not a zero-sum game. More people with education & skills raise the standards for all. (If you disagree, explain to me where all the silicon valley wealth was durring the stone age.)
Stop worrying about how big your slice of the pie is. Let's make the pie bigger for everyone.
I'm starting to think that the TSA's real motivation is to slowly put all of the airlines out of business. If so, they're going to be one of the most successful covert operations in history.
TFS says 100 data points a second. I presume it's more like 10 sample readings of 10 sensors per second, or some such multiplication.
I want to know more about their data historian software. There's some pretty amazing real-time compression these days, but that's still going to be a good chunk of data.
I could speculate of the software & brand, but don't want to do an unpaid endorsement (or anti-endorsement).
The only people I seen driving Volvo or Saab are college professors. Seriously. Must be the image of a foreign car with a "I'm smarter than you and I want it to show" attitude.
And at least on my area, they must come from the factory all rusted out.
There's plenty of water in Africa. You haven't actually been there, have you? I have. I've seen what what's there on the ground. There are endless well-drilling, housing, and food projects funded by the western world, and each one is a success. The problem is the local corruption and lack of rule of law. No matter how much established nations invest in the area, local corruption will un-do and destroy.
If you have a proposal for how NASA can fix this problem, I'm all ears.
Google only purchased this company this past year. Give it some time... I'm rather happy google hasn't swooped in and hanged a bunch of stuff right away.
I thought this was all an idealistic dream of some space nerds. It looks like they just might pull this off ! I'm seriously impressed!
And as for not having a computer on board - that probably greatly increases the odds of it working after all these years. Space is harsh on electronics...
It's not a study - but what you're describing is the proper real-world term Karma. The poor and downtrodden accept their place, and do nothing to improve life- because they deserve it (from a past life's mistakes). See also the caste system.
The *real* solution is in beta by Google right now. The self driving car.
This country is so big that mass transit will never cover more than a small fraction of the nation. Commuting is a boring chore, and many folks like myself welcome the day when we can do what we want to be doing rather than driving.
Slashdot Mirror
In an urban area, where speed limits are typically either 25mph or 35mph, yes, that is special. (40 km/h and 56 km/h respectively)
This also explains the large number of other wrecks in the chase.

It would be nice if there was a video, picture, or something to substantiate all of these claims.
I welcome advances in this field, but the wunderkind trope has been played too many times lately

Wait, so did the rest of the craft & chute sink?

You must be new here. There's nobody on the planet more safe from jail time.

I'd love to see what she would say to a taxpayer "losing" 2 years of receipts during an audit.
I think that "my bad" wouldn't be enough.

Please tell me it's Waze. Best Nav system in the world - it's saved me from more than one ticket...
Similar story here. I wrote a game from scratch, in a dentist's office. Use lined notebook paper, spiral bound, to write out C=64 code.
I was maybe 10 at the time, and thought that number the lines with even numbers would give me room to make changes, should I want to.
Game worked perfectly, even line numbers, not so much,

So a bored guy who draws jokes for a living is telling the engineers of the world that they are doing everything wrong.
Sure, let's give him more attention!
I bought one I those. The flickering gave me knife-in-the-temple headaches, but it was cool.
One of my greatest gaming joys was introducing my then 8 year old to Descent.
And blowing him up repeatedly.
Awsome game.

Since not everyone went to Sunday School, TFS is referencing Genesis chapter 1 verse 1.
I'd read you the verse proper, but since verse 2 hasn't been quoted yet, it's too dark to read...

OK, level with us. What do really you think the odds are of you succeeding in getting this craft into stable earth orbit?
Another question - who owns it now? Are there any space equivelents to water based flotsam and jetsam?
It's symbolic, as has been shown with many other petitions that the president has ignored, but here goes:

Because of the deaths she's directly & indirectly caused. All because she needed a reason to explain away her child's mis-diagnosis of autism.
