Transgenics may not be the same thing as hybridization, but it is a process that can also occur naturally. The claim that "hybridization mimics nature, while transgenics is purely human engineering" is another lie.
The vehicles you refer to on Earth are autonomous, rather than being remotely piloted. Because of latency, all rovers on other planets have to be at least somewhat autonomous. Teleoperator control is only possible on the Moon, and barely.
There is a persistent romantic sentiment in the US that Australia represents a sort of America that could have been. This announcement is designed to appeal to those who haven't been staying aware of the Euro-style surveillance that now pervades Australia, and the monopolies that keep the cost of such things as travel and broadband a lot higher than they should be, and the steady loss of rights in recent years.
"There are non-standard sockets they should have fitted instead then, so only company authorised equipment can be plugged in."
In fact, non-standard electrical sockets were the 'standard' in Britain until the EU came along and set actual standards for everything. When you bought an appliance in the old days, it came without a plug. You then had to scrounge separately for a plug that fitted the sockets in your particular home.
The deal is as follows: Greece has to take the job at the cruise port laundry, while Germany agrees to stop calling Greece at work so long as Greece lays off the ouzo, goes back to the wife and kids while paying at least EUR 100 per week on the payday loan.
It's tempting to argue that pharma companies have secretly given up on major cures because they make nore long-term money from ongloing treatments, but the major diseases are a worldwide problem and medical research is being done in numerous places not under control of Big $DEMON. A Chinese researcher who finds the cure for a major cancer has just as certain a Nobel as an American researcher.
And even in the context of American medicine, the fame attached to being a discoverer of that magnitude eclipses pecuniary interest, even if that interest is personal. Think about it: you own half the stock of a company that makes its money "managing" diabetes. If you discover a way of regrowing pancreatic islet cells, would you actually stay quiet that discovery in hopes of making more on disease management? Now consider the fact that any discovery generally means that your discipline is at a point where any umber of people could arrive at the same conclusion independently.
"Note that the laws are made in the most complicated and absurd ways on purpose."
It will be interesting to see what effect a successful technology of algorithmic pleading and judgment would have on the law itself. Will we see new bills parsed by an algorithm that suggests a rewrite in ways that make it easier for the lawyer and judge algorithms to arrive at rational case conclusions? How would such a process interact with the special-interest cronyism that underlies so much legislation?
The obvious first use of this technology is not that we will be judged by an algorithm, but that algorithms will be used as a sort of "superGoogle' assistant by lawyers. The paper law library will be replaced by online statutes with a case database and intelligent search engines. The big step will be a matter of people power vs entrenched professional cronyism: will pro se parties in a case be allowed access to the technology to plead their own cases? It the tech works, a large percentage of the legal profession will eventually disappear by Darwinian selection, and the pressure to start using it for judgements, rather an advocacy, will become irresistible. The flesh-and-blood lawyers left will be the neurosurgeons of their field, arguing cases before high-level courts of appeal.
People who oppose vaccines promote the idea of stimulating the immune system the natural way, by doing such things as eating dirt or having enemas of other people's feces (this is a real thing, and not just in California!) Vaccines are a precisely calibrated and targeted way of exposing a person to an immune-stimulating level of infection. Having this exposure be controlled and precise is what makes it "scientific" and evil in the eyes of anti-vaxxers.
In the same way, the precise and targeted nature of genetic engineering to modify DNA is what makes it "scientific" and evil. Better that we keep firing the Mr Magoo blind shotgun of hybridization in hopes of getting an improved-by-our-selection-criterion strain of a species.
...To sell UT the phlogiston it will need for the coming winter.
According to the course description, it will use quantum mechanics to "explain" why homeopaths believe that a weaker solution of a medication has more of an effect than a stronger solution. No word on whether dillithium crystals will be involved.
Hawaii does not have many options when it comes to generating power in a spread-out island chain, but the best option in its volcanic environment would be geothermal. Or so one would think: http://www.environmentalleader...
Whenever you see people who call themselves Greens swinging around to oppose a project which is part of the whole sustainable, carbon-free meme they are supposed to be supporting, that's a red flag, especially when the campaign seems to flare up out of nowhere at the worse time during construction, rather during the public comment period that was part of the years of project review that was carefully built into your schedule. No matter how green you consider yourself to be, you have run into the anti-human religionists. There is no pacifying them with any sort of reason. Don't even try.
"you want an application vendor to tailor it's policies to your edge case?"
Exactly. I'm not asking Adobe to invest manpower into keeping an old version updated, but just to continue selling a version it has already developed. At the very least, allow third parties to sell it. Pure profit, and they are passing it up.
USA Network Online has one extremely loud commercial, for Polar Pops, that can damage your hearing if you are watching with a headset adjusted for the normal volume range of the program. Mr Robot, meet Mr Deaf Viewer.
To use aerobraking as a technique, you have to know detail about the composition and extent of the body's atmosphere. Now that it has taken New Horizons to find this out, we can design an aerobraking orbiter.
Adobe is also pushing users toward their vision of the cloud. I have an IT client who needed to use InDesign for a publishing project. It seems like a ripoff to have to subscribe by the month for cloud software, but it was a cost she was willing to bear and at least there's a lessened degree of platform dependence, right? So she signed up, only to discover that the cloud version will not run on Windows Vista. Adobe still sells the direct-install Version 6, but Vista was supported only up through 5.5 . Adobe no longer sells 5.5, and will not allow anyone else to sell it. Torrent time!
When have I ever demonized researchers for working on climate models? I demonize those who cherry-pick early results and speculative extrapolations to fit an anti-human agenda.
The Marxist left did support nuclear energy and other large infrastructure. Our relevant enemy today is the religious Green movement, which reflexively comes out against anynew application of science and openly calls for a rollback of civilization and in some cases the extinction of the human species itself.
More recently, they have cranked up a campaign against pure science. Look up the manufactured protests against investigating the Antarctic subsurface lakes and most recently, building the Thirty Meter Telescope in Hawaii. They waged an identical, unsuccessful anti-astronomy campaign in Arizona in the 90s.
People from Seattle keep tellling me how badly broadband service sucks there. This would seem uncharacteristic of service in a high-tech city. Has the new tech expansion into the area resulted in better broadband?

And are also revealing farms and stone towns that were built there.
I mean in both places the parent cited.

"You do realize it's a private company doing the freaking out"
So does a private company even have legal arrest powers? The American equivalent would be being sent to mall jail.

Mod this one up! The problem in some cities, though, is space at intersections.

Ending in "ology" does not make it a science. Theology is really a component of the study of cultures.
