Commercial airliners regularly fly 1km separation, and as little as 1500' altitude difference when going "head to head" in a controlled commercial flight lane.
This all depends on the size of your organization and competency / bandwidth of your IT department.
For an organization with 10s of thousands of employees located at hundreds of sites around the world, yes, AD is priceless (if, still somewhat less than 100% up to expectation at times.)
For an organization with 10s of employees located at a single site and an IT "department" of one or two guys... ummm.... been there, done that, no, AD was NOT worth the time and apparent effort - maintaining separate passwords on the handful of servers was FAR more efficient.
5 watt hours can be released as 300 watts for one minute, if the cell has the current output capacity, hot stuff, but won't be melting too much aluminum at 36,000 feet (and I think AA cells are limited to about 3A discharge, so they can deliver more like 5 watts for one hour).
Ordinary alkaline batteries aren't the concern. The concern are 500+ watt hour LiPo cells that can discharge a continuous 50+ amps at 14+ volts. 700+ watts heating metal for 30+ minutes will make it quite hot. If the metal is a 12 ga wire, it will get white hot in seconds...
This is self reported levels of drinking. While I tend to believe people who self-report "never drinking" I tend to doubt that the 14-21 units of alcohol per week crowd are 100% truthful about "never binging" - occasional weeks might include 21 units of alcohol in a 6 hour period.
Plus, I know it's England, but since when is 3 drinks a day, every day of the week, moderate?
I'm not seeing how printing is even the method of choice - wouldn't storing this on a USB drive or cell phone be preferable? If you can see it on the screen you can photograph it.
I carry an outdated 64GB USB stick inside by company badge, could as easily go with me through airport security. Everything that matters can fit on the USB stick and be restored to virtually any new system, if you bother to configure things to properly restore and backup.
Seems like an opportunity for a software company to make a generic backup/restore tool for this purpose... they might make a few million before Microsoft notices and folds the functionality into Windows 19.
Just ask Dominoes - you can put a company uniform on any 17 year old kid and have them deliver from store to home in "30 minutes or less," all profit, no headaches.
If putting 1 million lives "into the passenger economy" can save 1/2 million lives from traffic accidents - does that mean that half of these people would have died in traffic accidents? Wow./s
The interesting aspect of UBI is the loosening of the "I hate this job, but I NEED the money" leash. Many of today's bottom tier jobs don't really care about what their employees want or feel because they know that they need the income, badly.
I stocked groceries in college. I had a 22yo Napoleon complex up and comer complete -hole of an assistant manager who: verbally abused everyone, never gave me as many hours as I asked for, but always gave me hours in time slots I specifically told him I didn't want, and was just generally unpleasant to even talk to. One day he and I had a difference of opinion about my working style that ended with him saying: "Well, maybe you don't need this job." and me answering "well, maybe I don't." (In truth I didn't, but he was far too self absorbed to have picked this up in the previous 6 months.) After that exchange, he went straight to the store manager and: 1) I never saw his face or heard his voice again, 2) my schedules started filling up with all the hours I asked for, in the timeslots I asked for, never in the ones I said I didn't want.
When nobody "really needs" your crappy job, the default management style should switch from abuse to something a little more employee friendly - and this can have benefits not only for the employees, but also the customers, and even people who interact with the employees outside of work.
I doubt it's complicated at all, he is a pain in their ass, they brought suit to attempt to stifle him, and they stretched the law past the breaking point in said attempt.
Our legal system being what it is, I can't say whether he will win or lose - I do hope for his sake that his trial is heard by the same judge who "granted his temporary right to speak."
The reason the "state" got bent is because he's not a "Licensed Professional Engineer" - but, I sincerely doubt he was introducing himself as such.
I sincerely hope he is entitled to (and sues for and wins) damages to cover the cost of defending this frivolous suit by the state (county, whoever) which was clearly brought as an attempt to silence his voice in public debate.
Ticketing and scheduling systems are not life-safety critical, therefore they don't get the budget for double redundancy. It's aerospace-think come to the company comptroller's office, imposed on IT that made this failure happen.
Also, that "£100 million estimated cost of this incident" is less than the development, rollout and ten years of additional maintenance costs of a full double redundant geographically diverse scheduling system. For an industry that can't even make a baggage sorting system work properly, there's a lot of fear about "upgrading" anything. Historically, big failures like this come around less than once a decade.

Basically the same tech that was in ship-to-shore...

But, it's cleaner than an oil bath.
You can buy capacitors all day long off the internet - we're going to have to shut that thing down before somebody gets hurt.

So, we trust the TSA, because they're so carefully screened?
In cases where company policy contradicts local laws, local laws prevail.
>unless you are comparing them to alcoholics.
Study performed in London.....
Depends, if they were Irish they might call that extremely low alcohol intake.

Why do you think it took them this long to come out with an explanation?

That "tedium" of coding the ui is usually the easiest part of app development, for me at least.
Does the neural net also recognize dynamic UIs with swipe, pinch and twirl responses?
Neat academic project... but 77% accuracy just to do the layouts? I've got interns better than that.
