My first thought on this was that anyone who wants this probably isn't old enough or mature enough to drive. After further reflection, that first thought is holding up quite well. As to their motive for offering this...
Drivers who are keen for the emoji licence plates will need to fork out somewhere between $160 and $500 for the privilege, according to the 7News report.
Oh right, of course. I'm sure many 8 year olds have an extra $500 to fork over for a personalized license plate. Great plan guys...
The problem with IKEA’s pizza is the damn instructions for making it. By the time you figure out how to attach the cheese, the special pepperoni connectors, etc., you’ll have starved to death.
You can buy one pre-assembled ("Kommerkräkas"), but those all have lingonberry and pickled herring as the only toppings.
Hence he wanted the Navy to jettison the new electric catapults for launching planes off air craft carriers and replace them with the old steam powered catapults.
Maybe he thought the steam powered catapults used coal?
The reduction in stress levels might pay for this test by itself. One stress-induced hospitalization would probably cost as much as the yearly payments for 10-20 people. Would be interesting to see data on the comparative health care costs for the test group vs a control group.
One limitation of Presidential pardon powers is that they can't pardon state crimes, only federal crimes. If Trump was tried and found guilty in a state court Pence could not pardon him.
Not saying anything on the chances of this actually happening...
BTW, notice that at least a few others agree with him according to the +5 Informative mod.
I don't think that modding Informative necessarily implies agreement. They might be saying 'Look what this giant DB is doing, be careful buying used or "refurbished" stuff.'.
A "bad actor" could also copy whatever was available on the DHS USB drive from previous scans, in hopes of getting useful into/pics/method to embarrass DHS. If there's a high value (or hot) target, they could even just get in line behind them in hopes of getting this data.
The first picture sent back by the Chinese lander will contain a sign reading "This spot reserved for Elon Musk's Tesla" and a set of tire tracks going to the horizon.
(yes I know the Roadster was not sent to the Moon...)
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D), who had joked that he would change his name to "Amazon Cuomo" if necessary to land the prize.
deBlasio would have been safe making that joke- I'm pretty sure Amazon would leave him with the Bill.
I think it was in jest, however possibly if you offset adjacent lines 120 degrees, like the phases in a 208 V line, you could get something resembling triple data rate, or at least something that sounded good in marketing. Of course, this triple line data rate memory would be called TLDR.
You could argue that in order to have the technology to travel to another star they would have to have achieved a certain level of civilisation and understanding of the risks, if not the moral implications.
First idea- Pick a destination station before you board (some systems already make you do this), or have a default set of station pairs, and let the system tell you which train/door to go to, with the system optimizing to reduce conflicts. Offer some reward for cooperation , i.e. "Good Commuter points" or some small discount. Downside: requires tracking.
Second idea- Skip the directions, just have the reward- if the train leaves on time, everyone getting on or off gets a star. Let the commuters figure out how to do it. Downside: requires tracking (but not as much), and might increase confrontations with non-cooperative riders.
Other factors- I sometimes see people standing in the doorway, not getting on/off, just blocking access to those who are. These people need to be "incentivized" to move elsewhere. Possibly just having a sign indicating get off/on times, i.e. first 10 seconds after doors open are only for getting off (or until everyone is off), then let people on, would solve the entire problem.

For most people it probably depends on how good of a cook they are.
Great, software where susceptibility to viruses is actually a smug bragging point.
I think they use that term to make sure that everybody knows about donuts. It's a public service.
You have learned something new, enjoy!

Is this an indication they're withdrawing from the treaty for outer space and have the means to defend any territory?
Well, they do have the most advanced battlebot on the Moon...

With the incredible rate of advancement of technology, we'll probably blow them up long before then!
The Sun is much closer. Just tell them it's the biggest, and that they'll be landing at night.

We'll close the gap twice as fast if we eat the subterranean organisms, hope they found something tasty...
Maybe with the upgrade to electric the machine guns could be replaced with rail guns (appropriately sized).

What happens if he has an OJI and no longer has fingerprints?
Stumpprints! They've been given the finger before.
We should probably be prepared to use GPS or GLONASS (as well as neither).

Yes, but you you can't guarantee that.

Apple should design cars, think of it.
As they would only run on special iRoads, I doubt the cars would get much wear.
Often scientific experiments reveal something unexpected and yield advances not originally sought. Has the SETI project provided any such benefits?
