If medical equipment traded competitively, prices would be "just." The problem is that the medical market is a cartelized system that refuses to even let us know what the price of anything is.
Over 150 people just died, which is 3 Chernobyls. This means that aviation is a dead-end technology that cannot possibly be made safe at reasonable levels of cost. Germany takes the lead, mothballing all civilian aircraft now in use. From now on, Germans will use their rail network to carry domestic traffic. For international travel, Germany will build a new fleet of ships, wind powered and made of sustainable tree derived materials.
The US will take a more measured approach. No new planes will be ordered, but airlines will continue to operate with existing craft until they age out, whereupon they will be replaced by buses. The UK will do the same, but will order one more aircraft from China, specially designed with 12 engines and parachutes for each passenger, to cost GBP 10 billion and be delivered in 2025.
I’m sure it’s not Russian, though, because Russian intelligence wouldn’t design a site so rickety and hard to use.

The thing is, anything mined on the moon will only be useful for using it on the Moon or in space.
Which is exactly how any such resources will be used.
The first 'product' from the Moon will be testing of metals refining and element separation that we will be using in more distant places. After that will come uses like supporting structures for huge solar arrays - anything that takes a lot of metal and would be prohibitively expensive to lift from Earth.
You're trusting her version of events without getting the scoop from the university, due to privacy concerns.
Since Tufts did not extend the right of legal discovery to Filler when she pleaded her case, tat's their own goddamned fault. There is no more "privacy" concern now that Filler has been expelled.
This canard again? Antitrust laws aren't just about monopolies, they're about anticompetitive behavior in general.
A monopoly exists when, and only when, there is some specific reason for your success that your competitors are not able to use.
Walmart is not a monopoly just because right at the moment it is #1 in retail volume. A medallion taxi company, though minuscule in comparison to Walmart, is a monopoly because it is illegal for any other ride for hire company to compete in their city.
These people just want the city to provide them a "gated community" without having to put in gates and guards themselves. There's nothing the French love more than laws micromanaging every aspect of their lives. It makes their fractious politics more interesting.
All recyclables there go into one blue bin, with the material types separated ta a central facility. The sorting process still requires some human assistance, but at a steadily diminishing rate with time as automation improves.

If an asteroid is not rotating, it makes sense that if fractured into pieces by a thermonuclear explosion, the pieces will tend to drift back together in one place.
So our strategy for an Earth-impacting asteroid should be: if it is rotating, blow it apart and watxch the pieces fly away; if it is not rotating, nudge its orbit with a series of small explosions.
The decline in fish populations is more likely a result of overfishing, something we should be working against - but thankfully there are quite a lot of fish farms these days, so the supply of fish for the world to eat is not as threatened as the summary makes it out to be.
Let's have no more of this "Wild Caught" crapola on seafood labels. If you are concerned about climate and sustainability, put your mouth where your money is and embrace farmed fish.

Where are they burying the survivors?

Because people who invest billions in long term projects don’t have the insight about future tech that some random guy on the Internet has.
Because after the rent on their TriBeCa studio and their student loans, millennials don’t have any money.

Had Mr. Quintana's insurance company been Humana, they would have just posted a comment on his Facebook page.
That great ongoing support for all things open source... seems to have failed here. Firefox is the default browser in many Linux distributions.
This is not the fault of Microsoft, but the fault of each browser dealing with script and even standard HTML in some annoying different way.

That's why you break up Google... and then you break up the fucking pieces.
Enjoy paying $100 or so per month for basic search. Be careful what you wish for.
We've replicated 1960s technology!
As with commercial aviation, our big advance over the tech of that time is in reduced cost. This will be what really opens the sky.
In Philadelphia, stickup men are a voting majority.
Furthermore, the photographers will swarm the place now, while they still can. I'll call this the Cartier-Bresson Effect.
Yes, kids, a Frenchman invented street photography.

... heat up one side of the object with lasers so that the out-gassing of materials generates a subtle thrust that gradually nudge the orbit.
If the object contains enough volatiles, this could actually work.
Inducing rotation might take far more energy than either of my alternatives.
