Now China is going to claim that they own low Earth orbit, and forbid anyone else to move through it. But we will continue to do so, as the claim is ridiculous.
Maybe Uber is planning on selling the cars to people who would then make it available to Uber when they're not using it? They could offer incentives on rate, priority, etc. to make it more attractive. Drivers have to buy a car anyway.
If Uber doesn't provide self-driving cars, someone else will. Not surprising they want to get a head start on this.
Also, even the most hardcore anti-nuclear people wouldn't generally have a problem knowing that there's a,ulti-kilometer thick radiation shield in place.
Even if they did object it's not going to stop the process, no matter how much they protest.
I would like to see the countdown until the light is red, and if I'll make it at my current speed. This could help to save gas, as drivers could reduce acceleration sooner. Of course someone would soon hack this to tell you how fast you need to go to make the green (or yellow) light...
imagine spending millions on infrastructure to make the traffic worse and accidents more likely?
I suspect that was the design intent. There must be sadists working in the Highway Administration. These designs (including I-270, I-495, and local roads) could not have been achieved by mere incompetence.
So if you don't think you'd like it, don't do it. Do you really think they haven't considered any of the changes and challenges they would be subjected to? Do you think the people of the future would be unable to make any accommodations for the people they went to great lengths to revive?
Additionally, there will likely be hundreds or thousands of people frozen- it's likely that any new cure which works for one person would work for many. There will be many challenges for anyone revived, but they are not much greater than challenges people have overcome in the past, and they will probably not face them alone.
But software glitches should be easier to fix than a fundamental problem with the landing hardware
Oh good, then just fix the glitch, recompile, and restart the landing sequence. Lucky they sent the Debug version the first time, maybe they should try the Release next?
a battery that's usually kept at a charge between 20% and 80% of its capacity is much healthier
If longevity is a higher priority, then why don't they build batteries with a higher actual capacity but only let them charge to 80% (calling that the new 100%)? People would be willing to pay more for a 'premium long-life' battery.
Of course building phones that let you replace the battery is a better and simpler option.
You're assuming the rate is linear, while it's actually just asymptotically approaching a value large enough to make his point. Which is too bad, because we could probably fund a lot of the research costs for the probe by selling those keychains.
That's why my thermostat reads out as a signed 8-bit integer. If it ever goes out of range (I don't live in or near Kuwait), I'm not going to be there to read it anyway.
No, his plan is foolproof. Just leave at night, and come back during the day! It will work best if the AC goes with the probe, to make sure it chooses the correct gravity well.

Maybe Trump will just refuse to believe in the asteroid and it will disappear?

In the UK they might leave it with a neighbour.
The Amazon drivers here (USA) frequently leave my packages with my neighbors. It would be nice if they tried my house first, though.
It's fair though, as they also frequently leave the neighbors packages at my house.

One question- can the AI be trained to be offended by cats?
It appears he fell in one of the Complaints Department letter storage silos, so he actually only fell like 10 feet.

Just have to add leaves and supporting structures too then. It would be a whole new branch of humanity.
... how come I can't ever think up good domain names to squat on?
Must be an imagination dulled by the relentless campaign. donaldtrumpstolemywebsite.com is available, as are many others, go have fun.

The signal decodes as one repeating byte, 101010. Now to find out exactly what the question was...
The group issued an open letter to Facebook featuring the pair of pair of breasts...
Four of them? Those Swedes seem to be into some weird stuff...
Don't worry, if past experience is any indicator he'll figure out how to hack into one of those minimal security country club prisons in no time.

One look at the crusty penis scanner should scare most people away.
There's a long-running strike on checking for dupes.
Bulldozers, Piledrivers, Steamrollers, and Excavators do use diesel engines. Maybe they hired the VW software engineers too late?

I wonder if they're more concerned about people tweeting out results or complaints.
I also wonder which they'll have more of.

Now we just need to figure out how to get there (or anywhere but here).
