This is what I mean when I cite the conventional surface train approach to offline platforms. Underground, you can afford the space and extra tunneling this requires on only a few crowded big-city lines. Having elevator-sized cars that are able to slide perpendicularly into an "elevator lobby" doorway at stops gives you offfline stops and bypass capability without all the extra space needed by bypass trackage and/or dedicated express tracks.
As soon as you have multiple 100-passenger cars, you're back where you started with conventional local subways that have to stop at every station. Surface trains can at least have stops off the mainline for local vs express service, but doing this underground in the conventional way is expensive and takes up too much space.
Musk's 16-passenger single car is basically an enlarged elevator car, and an ideal size for the service I have in mind. It could have a few fold-down seats around the walls, but rides would be so short that most passengers would just stand. What you would see getting on at a station would be exactly what you see at an elevator lobby inside a building, except that each of the ten or so "elevator doors" in front of you would be numbered. Before getting on you would press a button on a line map indicating your destination stop. The system would display a door number, at which you would wait until your car arrives and the door opens. Eventually, an app on your smartphone would set this up as you head down to the transit lobby.
Because this system operates like the one automated people mover that is already accepted in every culture, it would be the system that gets used. No more expensive civic gambles on subway trains that you have to wait for and which spend most of their time rattling around empty.
The fundamental problem with subway trains is that because they hold a large number of passengers they have to stop at every station. This limits the number of stations each line can have.
I can see a market for small, autonomous vehicles that behave like elevators operating horizontally, so they only need to stop at stations where someone needs to get on or off. In this usage there would also have to be 'step aside' capability, allowing multiple cars to operate on one line by being able to pass stopped cars. It would then be feasible to have a hundred tiny stations on your subway line, each one being nothing more than an elevator lobby with a short hop to the surface. An automated system could optimize travel so that each passenger would experience no more than a few sops on the average trip.
In the US, plant and animal patents apply to breeds and sequences that you created as variations from the natural. Does German law allow companies to put legal dibs on purely natural gene sequences?
The Postmodernists were a briefly popular academic cult whose polysyllabic but totally non-referential coined language, though impenetrable to outsiders, once dominated at liberal arts schools and was the written language of numerous papers.
Because the Pomo tribe has been exclusively vegan and abstains from heterosexual relationships it has been unable to pass on its culture to new generations, so its numbers have been steadily declining in recent years as older tenured chieftains die off. Today, native speakers are confined to a few small campuses in northern California.
L:ike everyone else in here I had no clue what Periscope is, so I clicked the link. It's actually Slashdotted!
Old-timers will remember that when Slashdot was at the peak of its popularity and people read the articles before commenting, any linked article would be effectively DDoSed by being accessed by the vast herd of users.
If this is a built-in chip as opposed to a magnetic device stuck in your wheel well, you can't just stroll out of the El Pollo Loco after lunch, fish out the device from your car, and stick it onto an adjacent touristmobile to throw your pursuers off the track.
The fact that internet is now being watched more than TV is just because TV is boring.
It's not even that. People want the ability to watch a current show, even one on a network they already get, at times other than the one it which it is broadcast.
Being able to time-shift is what draws most plebeians to streaming. Finding out that episodes are only available on the network's server for a short time, or not until a certain date, or only if you subscribe to the individual network, is what is drawing the plebeians to Kodi.
What's most important about these studies is what they show us about the role of P53. Is it an underlying component of the immune system? If so, can we do a CRISPR edit and then set a new "checksum" for the P53 to guard as the valid version of this cell?
Thatâ(TM)s what you get for interfering with something designed and created to perfection by God.
If your deity is a perfect designer, He wouldn't allow cancer and other diseases to get by the immune system in the first place. Therefore, God must develop for Microsoft.
MS document, hell! In my residential IT practice, I run into this situation all the time on Windows systems. Although the customer's new PC comes preloaded with the Windows Defender / MS Security Essentials that is now bundled with Windows, the hardware manufacturer often adds a trial copy of Norton Plugitallup 24/7 from force of habit. Then when the user's great-grandchildren come to Arizona (America's Hunzaland) for Christmas they install Avast because that's what they run on their old PC at home.
When I approach a home where this is happening I don't even have to look at the street address. I just home in on the banshee scream of processor fans.
When you plug a cheap offbrand charging cable into your device, the USB-C standard signals this by emitting a blue flash and burning your device to a crisp. This feature has proven less popular with users than was at first envisioned.
Microsoft's solution to insecure code was to graft on a layer of insecure security code.
No, the Microsoft solution for insecure code is to have the user run multiple conflicting and insecure antivirus programs constantly in background. This slows down the system enough so viruses don't have time to do much damage before the next Windows Update.
Here that's how every trial of a celebrity is handled, with the judge only able to control reporting from inside the courtroom. Are you saying that if O J Simpson had been tried in the UK, nobody would know he had even been tried because of being acquitted?
Is the intent to protect the privacy of the defendant, or to prevent publicity about what the prosecutionis doing?
The court's gag order didn't last long. It had to be abandoned after the story broke internationally. Since it had been suppressed in the compliant press, the government is hopping mad that the Internet saw their gag order as damage, and routed around it.
In Iceland the motivation for citizen volunteer measurement of ice changes predates climate change alarmism by a millennium, and is an immediate practical need in a nation that centers on a series of icecaps that have volcanoes festering underneath them. When one of them erupts and the icecap around it melts, it can create a sudden jökulhlaup (their term for lahar) that dwarfs anything this side of the ice dam flood that formed the Channeled Scablands in Washington. Several of these have occurred in recent times, ripping out the road across the southern end of the island. You can see the twisted remnants of bridges that had to be rebuilt when this happened.
When my group hiked the Skaftafell, we took the standard route from Svinajokull through Svartifoss and then down into the vast pebble plain of the Morsá, which we could tell must be a seriously huge river when the icecap is melting. Your new waterfall must be another day's hike up the Morsá from the point where we intersected it.
The views even on this stretch are incomparable. It should be on everyone's bucket list.

The next generation won't know what 'television' means.
Of course they will know what television means. They will just define it in a different way, as 'that big monitor on my streaming box.'

It's not even that. People want the ability to watch a current show, even one on a network they already get, at times other than the one it which it is broadcast.

Did you go up Kristínartindar? That's an amazing hike. :)
Yes we did, getting great views of Svinajökull on one side and the Morsá on the other. That was also where I saw my first ptarmigan.
