In my town we have a footbridge that was installed this way, several years ago. It was factory-built in Phoenix, hauled 100 miles up I-17 using one of the smaller roadable version of the SPMT, and installed overnight to cross a creek. There hasn't been a problem since.
Offsite construction should be safer than site-built, so in this disaster let's focus on the design itself, rather than rushing to judgement on the offsite construction.
My point is they have already materialized, as you can see in any of those breathless threads about how fast the cost of installed wind is falling. This thread is in response to Amory Lovins' claim that wind makes the idea of a baseload obsolete: https://hardware.slashdot.org/...
Only a few countries (Norway, Iceland, Switzerland) are fortunate enough to have a renewable hydro or geothermal baseload. Because the rest of us have been using mostly coal and gas as the baseload, a serious effort to move away from carbon will require that we transition it from fossil to nuclear. To which the Greens reply, and there are several of them who will make that argument right here, that we no longer need baseload at all because we're "postindustrial."
In countries that the Greens have ruined, or prevented from industrializing in the first place, they keep claiming that all needed power can come from the sun and the wind. The reasoning is that if your urban economy is "post-industrial" a shop that consists of software developers can just knock off and go to the pub when the wind stops blowing at a time when there happens to not be enough sunshine.
But post-industrial countries can exist only when they can import the products of heavy industry from places like South Korea, where the heavy industries for which continuous power is crucial can run off a 24/7 nuclear grid. Those are the only countries where that Samsung fab could even be located.

THAT is why he was convicted. Since the chip still scanned validly as a ticket, he might have had sympathy from the public in contesting the charge had he gone by an ordinary name.

A few more generations of physicists will have to go by before we can know Hawking's place in the ranks of the great, but his status as a popularizer of science is already established.
Siri is hardly just 'grins and giggles', but as it stands now it functions as a macro system for integrating sets of apps that support it. It's really useful to be able to call people using it when the sun washes out the iPhone display, or to navigate to addresses hands-free, playing directions over the car audio.
But it's a long, long way from being the existential threat to humanity that Elon Musk has in mind.
Sheldon, you're raising an objection that is not relevant to high speed train operation. Tracks and right-of-way have to be rebuilt for high speed, such as reducing curve radii, in any case.
When you take the regular train from Barcelona into France, it stops at the old pre-EU border between Portbou and Cerbère for about a half hour of people running around outside the train and hammering on the wheels. What they're doing is changing the train gauge from the broad Spanish standard to the narrower EU standard. This has not stopped the Spanish AVE bullet train system from being the longest in the world outside China.
Well that's because the NRA is OBVIOUSLY responsible for EVERY SINGLE shooting that happens. Just like every Cloud Flair is responsible for every act of piracy that happens, Ford is responsible for every car crash, pharmaceutical manufacturers are responsible for every single OD, every single Mullah is responsible for every act of Islamist terror, and every single white male is reasonable for pretty much everything.
That's how politics is argued these days. Any sentiment in favor of X means you are in the pay of Big X.

Perhaps we need a party like this.

Not here in Arizona she wouldn't.
How bout a knife, instead of arming your CHILD with an INDUSTRIAL SCALE KILLING MACHINE.
Because some of the thugs out there are industrial scale killers. You need something that will impress them with your will to live.

It's about damn time we start putting an end to this idiocy.

Mexico enforces its immigration laws, and doesn't let people like her in.

How can you decontaminate a nuclear waste site, and not have functioning radiation detection?
Because Hanford is a military site, it's exempt from the stringent monitoring required for commercial facilities.
