Good to know. Now we just need to figure out how to make the phaser send it all out in a pulse that will vaporize the whole alien Star Trek style instead of just blowing a hole through it. You never know, maybe some aliens can survive having holes blown through them and still eat you; it's best to be safe and set it on MAX fighting unknown aliens. Also to be addressed, how do you keep it from burning your hand off from the waste energy when you fire?
No, it won't be funny at all. It will be child porn. Both the individuals involved and the taxi company employee who has the misfortune of discovering the video will become registered sex offenders.
As a practical matter you need well over that amount of energy if you don't want solid pieces laying around. How much energy does it take to vaporize bone?
Are tinfoil hats on special this week? It's not very likely to happen to anybody who isn't a very big target because to make such a modification have to completely understand your chip design, know how you're going to use it and judge that compromising YOUR chip design is sufficiently valuable to reap rewards.
If you consider very widely used device, there's greater likelihood of being compromised, and it would more likely be done with the cooperation of the chip designers than otherwise, in which case it is probably visible in the regular metal masks, etc. because the only people who have access to the design are complicit. When is the last time you took equipment you bought apart decapped the chips, imaged them with high resolution 3D x-rays or lapped them down layer by layer to examine whether it they had hidden features? Hell, most users never see their BOARDS.
I bet they never tested it on injured or or emotionally stressed drivers. Not to mention that even if they get the driver identification piece exactly right, it will still make it hard to sell your car, hard to lend it to a friend or relative, unserviceable and useless in an emergency. And if you drive it to the bar and you want your designated driver to drive it home because you're wasted? It drastically reduces the utility of the car, plus make a completely fucking the user interface. Great idea guys!
There's a lot more difference than that. They're comparing people who are paid to teach with people who are paid to research in their effectiveness at teaching. If you perceive your job is X, why would you spend a lot of effort on Y? The point that they only compared introductory courses is also relevant. The untenured professors did better in introductory courses. Advanced courses were not compared, so it may be that tenured professors are overall better at teaching advanced and graduate students. Maybe a university needs both to give the best education across the students' course of study.
Nothing is precisely what they were hoping to show. No successful attacks, therefore the screening must be working. Unless there were no successful attacks because this is neither the easiest nor the most effective place to attack.
No, we don't have free market prices for drugs, in general. We have free market prices for generics and they're pretty cheap. We have government protected monopolies and unregulated prices for patented drugs and they're very expensive.
10 meters is not near field at 5.8 GHz. That's the essence of why this won't work efficiently and as you say, it exposes all kinds of other things to high intensity radiation, which would cause myriad problems. This technology won't work, will probably never even be approved by the FCC (or any other country's regulatory agency) and anybody who invests in it is a fool.
I'd refer you to the gentlemen (or otherwise) who wrote and passed said laws in every single state I've heard of, but they all died of old age a few decades back.
Sunlight stops at your skin. And 1 watt per square meter isn't going to deliver the stated 1w of power to a charging device smaller than your pinky finger. It requires a local field intensity at the device being charged of well over 100 W/m2. That's not really a safe level for people or electronics. The device described is supposed to focus power from some sort of phased array of transmitters, so it wouldn't be that intense anywhere but near the device it's focused on.
We're talking about high enough intensity here to transmit 1 watt to an antenna that's about 44.5mm long. It's effective receiving area is limited because it has to be omnidirectional (due to size and use case). So it has an effective receiving area on the order or.0025 square meters of the 1200 odd square meters of area at 10 meters range from the power transmitter. Consequently, the transmitter must be putting out something like 1W * 1200m2 /.0025m2 = 480kW. Implausible. Has that cube the douchebag was showing off been inspected to see if it has a battery in it?
Or maybe they're a little smarter than that and they have an array of power transmitting antennas that turn up the heat when they get a return signal from the charger device. That could get your power losses down by a factor of maybe 100. So you'd be only burning maybe 5kW to charge a 1W device...
Holy Jesus! Why don't they just set a major coal bed on fire and bypass the middleman?
You realize every country in the world uses its embassies as the central headquarters for their intelligence apparatus in that country. So you know that row of embassies in Washington? Every single one of them does the exact same things or tries to. hey're just not as good at it.
Or they're better at it. Nobody's talking about Germany's spy agency and what they do.
No it doesn't. They want the communications of the people they're looking for to be findable. If terrorists start communication with plain old fashioned handwritten letters that the mark with fake return addresses and drop them in public mailboxes, the NSA is never going to find them without opening every letter, which they can't do.

Which is frequently in response to some asshole abusing them.

You brought it inside the walls on the advertisement that it was a big wooden horse, but it has the enemy inside. Yep.
It IS science. This is applied sociology.

Nonsense. If you profile, the profile will become known and easily evaded.
Nevertheless, public safety is an indispensible part of the purpose for which government is instituted among men.

I suppose you enjoy your "free market" healthcare that costs twice as much as anywhere else in the developed world.
Those who banned Tesla are not alive. NEXT!

He's talking about the only two kinds that ever existed though.

No there's not. You just need about about 10 billion times more power.
