my part of texas, we're looking at a yellow that's a good second or two. and traffic can be anywhere from 30-55mph. i usually just give myself a "if it's not yellow by this point, i'm going through this fucker" line in my mind.
no, if money is very little issue, it's the difference between having a oneshot, vs multi-shot weapon.
part of the difficulty must be getting an agent in place. I imagine having a single agent capable of carrying out multiple attacks before getting caught will be much more effective than having a single agent killing themselves for each attack.
my interpretation was that until 9/11 nobody thought they were going to die.
iran hostage crisis comes to mind, the bad guys wanted something and generally hostages are worth more alive. The passengers thought they were going to live until planes started hitting buildings.
when people found out the plan was for everybody aboard to die, and not simply for everybody aboard get traded for prisoners or money, they acted and brought the plane down.
nothing is stopping drones from say, ascending to 350 feet for the majority of their transit, and descending to 20 feet for the final final leg.
as far as i can tell, public roads are fair game.
i'd also envision a purchasing interface that lets them know where you'd like your package delivered on your property, and if you're fine with the delivery drone entering your airspace. I'd also envision you dropping a highly visible visual reference for where exactly you want your package set down.
alternatively, if that 350 foot climb is too taxing on them drone batteries, make a drone elevator:) so you start out in "as the bird flies" mode.
... we are autonomous, we can process new and critical information, and we've gotten pretty damn good at ordering us around.
and it doesn't take a decades worth of experience to program us with new directives. you can have a traffic drone fly there with lights, but you've gotta purpose build that shit, and purpose program the way the drone flashes its lights in different situations.
you know what you need to do now? give that fucker in the middle of the road a reflective vest, a poncho to keep the rain off, and a pair of glowsticks. tell him " makes sure things don't get too backed up in any direction, and if you see flashing lights, let that fucker through.
also, toss in a donut or two to fuel him, and we're done.
... goddamn, your "uncouth observation" had like 5 short story plots i'd love to read, wow. They'd be in ted chiang territory if the author followed one of those.
come to think of it, they could just avoid this whole controversy by throwing money at ted chiang to get him to write faster and just giving him the hugo for short story yearly.
:) i'm not about to argue that we know what the rest is. but i'd also argue that our genomes are a bunch of hacked together spaghetti code where even commenting some bit out could end up being super critical to proper function.
*how the hell did deleting a comment break the fucking program?* *i don't know, but it works, so just fuck off*
except that it's a physical system, and the commented sections may play a role in spacing, separation, structure, provide binding sites for regulatory proteins etc.
just because it isn't transcribed doesn't mean it's not critical to proper function.
you always gotta remember, corporations are by design amoral. and they'll be greedy as fuck.
we need government to reign in their excesses, and you should expect as many excesses as they can get away with. but that's just the nature of the beast.
all soluble. When the demand picks up for these features i'm almost certain that ebooks will get them. same with the appendices... i'd assume there's a near-trivial solution to flipping to the appendices
you might have a point about the physical feel, the page quality, the smell.
but just as there are positives, there are negatives too.
paper cuts the weight of a tome having only the coarsest control of lighting the smell... of a truly old and musty book. aging makes the paper brittle. too much use and your book starts falling apart.
yeah, but some people also swear by the sound quality of vinyl. which is something that books can't claim.
it's about convenience too, a library in your hand, versus a single book. yes you need power, but i've also taken to reading off my phone. which, single device:) yay.
... vinyl still exists too. i predict something similar. ebooks will be ubiquitous, those seeking nostalgia/retro will still get books. physical paper will always have its proponents... but they'll slowly die off, and as generations come that don't know what that "new book smell" is, analog's market share will slowly but steadily dwindle.

really depends on how fast you're going.

:) yay, you've just added to the death toll of each terrorist attack by 1 kidnapped and unconscious passenger :)

because public outrage is just noise, whereas additional paperwork takes up valuable sit on your ass time.

no, the recipe very distinctly called for immature ingredients so long suckling at best.
gave it zero stars.
would not buy again, everything just ended up tasting like pulled pork.

you forget that under the right to be forgotten, google would probably have to delist half of the web.
one question...
i can understand 4 planes having midair collisions... you know 4 in total.
2 separate midair collisions...
but in what possible universe do you imagine 3 planes colliding in total.

not made up, not a scourge, but not made up.

us tap water is potable generally. something is wrong if your water isn't.
might not taste the best in some places, but won't kill you from infection or generally poisoning.
you might even get some of your daily dose of methane, but that's another issue entirely.
... the only downside to hyperspacing through an object is you'd die real good... which isn't really a concern here.
fuck that, lets eat them first.
so i wonder what police officers taste like.
how do you square the awesome that is bacon?
