You did read the part about this being a pilot project? The first automobiles were out of reach cost-wise for most people when they first came out. The price will drop with volume of sales. And Musk knows economics well enough to know that your argument is the spur to get the cost point down someplace where your math will actually make these cost-effective.
Also, electrical rates are coming up, if you haven't noticed. That accelerates the time to cost-effectiveness.
Microsoft is making a walled garden. They just forgot to invite their customers into this garden - they just keep planting thorny bushes around the locked gate with the "Beware of Leopard" sign on it.
Microsoft is making itself irrelevant. It almost seems like this is their business "strategy" now. I really don't see how they plan on making money in the future.
My point is - would anyone have cared if he didn't trigger a 1000 pt market slide? This guy is a schemer, no doubt, but doing things that are illegal with a computer keeping tabs on the actions seems dumb, dumber than this guy seems to be.
I think this guy is just getting hanged because safeguards were not in place to prevent these legal actions. If someone is going to be hanged, it has to be the little guy, not the ones that created the system in the first place.
So was it illegal to do this? They use the word "scheme" hoping people will mentally prefix it with "Ponzi" in their minds to make it sound illegal, but was it?
Sounds like he was being clever and making money - ain't that the whole point of trading?
Stereo lithography has (had?) been used for decades to prototype various 3D parts for fit and interference, though it could not make structural parts, certainly not for high temperature applications.
3D printing is a newer iteration of this technology as used for part fit and interference testing. The ability to actually fabricate the final product vs. just making resin shape prototypes is the really cool potential of this technology. It's being done now, but it will interesting to see how ubiquitous this becomes. It will be something when you see these next to the CNC machines in machine shops.
You need some droids that understand the binary language of vaporators to keep the moisture farms in operation. Once you have that, the water problem is solved!
Shh...be careful. The pro-lifers will ass-rape you for expressing these sentiments. She should have been chemotherapied into a vegetative state, then held on life support until her heart rotted to mush, citizen!
Forever, maybe (does apoptosis still occur in this situation? Hmmm). Staring at the wall of the jar. Maybe through it, if they are courteous enough to make it of glass. Then you get to stare at all the jerks who put you in that prison, watching them ogle how you function or not.
The more they play with this life extension bullshit, the more I hope to be allowed a dignified and painless death.
Death is NOT the enemy. It's just the last inn at the side of the road after a (hopefully) long, long journey.
"And didn't anyone think I'd need a body too? A vajayjay and a uterus would have been pretty fun and useful at some point, don'tcha think? WTF people!"
May as well just sign her frozen head up on Halloween to be the first shot from the pumpkin chucker into the river. That's about all the fun she's going to have at this point, reanimated or not.
Oh great, so if I stumble on a page so full of crap that I decide to backtrack the hell away, the site can still shove notifications in my face, even though I clearly don't want that content? Yeah, I have to explicitly allow it, that's awfully nice of them. But how long will opting out last when the advertisers realize they can force a few more eyeballs?
Is there another browser out there that hasn't been bloated to death with "features"? I jumped from Firefox to Chrome when they started churning versions, but Chrome just jumped the shark by doing the same thing.
I'd suggest just getting a Raspberry Pi with Scratch. The bonus is there is some minor assembly required (the case) and all the wizbangery hardware is visible. And if the little tyke smashes it against the wall in a fit of rage against your efforts to force him to be a programmer, you're only out $50 (not counting the cost of the therapy sessions).
Would it not make more sense to just exchange a guilty plea for taking the death penalty off the table?
Not if the prosecution has a slam-dunk case. And I don't think a prosecutor would want to be caught soft pedaling a case like this - they are going to prosecute this with utmost vigor.
Another Industry Trying to Automate Away Workers

Planes Without Pilots

Labor is about 35% of the operating expense of an airline. Fuel is a distant second. Pilots are the some of the pricier elements of that labor pool, and are often unionized and do strike on occasion. Bean counters just love the idea of taking them off the spreadsheet through the magic of modern technology.
The airlines would love to see these aircraft running on a subway model - no attendants or pilots, maybe one person on the ground monitoring that the airplane stays on track. Just put a soda machine on each plane, one that takes credit card and charges $10 for an RC Cola (Coca Cola is $15 for 1st class only). Send a cleaner through once a day. No carpeting or upholstery, need to be able to hose it out quickly. Complaints? No one on the plane to listen to them except the other equally disgruntled fellow passengers.
Another symptom of the college bubble - paying more and more for less and less. Even with TAs there is such a flood of students that the grading is overloading the system. Students now can't even get a unambiguous assessment of their capability in a subject.
OK, so now when an employer wants to see grades and transcripts, what should they make of those grades? Was that person riding the coat tails of a smarter partner? Yeah, I'm sure partners would change class to class, but some students are pretty savvy and will know to sit next to the smart kid in class for this reason.
I wonder how many copies of The Anarchist's Cookbook sold this week!
It is not hard to make dangerous things that go boom. Heck, some of the things that I blew up behind my garage when I was 13 would probably send me to Gitmo now. Believe it or not, that doesn't make me a terrorist.
Maybe it would be smarter to examine why people might want to make bombs and kill people, and work to make a world where people don't want to make bombs and kill people, even if the The Anarchist's Cookbook was on every coffee table in the world.
The War in Terror, just like the War on Drugs, will not be won simply by "just saying No". Until human motivations are examined, it will all be a horrendous waste of life, effort, and resources for no gain.
Why not send an unmanned habitat lander? Something that lands, deploys a habitat, then monitors the performance of that habitat and the health of the return vehicle *before* committing a crew? Knowing that they have a safe and established home base on Mars and a ride ready to take them back home would add some redundancy and encouragement to the crew. If a meteorite crashes into the habitat or an Exogorth eats it, the crew aborts the landing and returns home.

This is the funniest thing since Bullshit Bingo.

But watching 5-axis CNC machines make stuff is just mesmerizing.

I don't know, it seems a lot of people in the U.S. and other places are actually very comfortable talking about decapitated frozen babies.

I hope it avoids making something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike coffee.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.

These complex organic molecules, two forms of cyanide and one chemically related compound..
Doesn't sound very hospitable. Was this found on planet Zyklon B or something?

Wait a minute...Louisiana? The state that has drive-through daiquiri bars ?
Driving with a Big-Gulp sized Hurricane in your lap (no straw of course, *wink* *wink*), that's OK, but powdered alcohol is irresponsible?

Only 11 more step's to recovery! Arrrggh, I'm back down to step 12 again!
Gosh, I'm sorry. Are any of your neighbors good for anything, or are they all hipsters too?
I guess Instagram and the aviator sunglass industry needs some love too.
