The space shuttle was considered pretty safe...until the Columbia disaster happened pointed out it's massive design flaw.
False. The space shuttle was considered quite dangerous, with a 1 in 100 chance of failure originally estimated. When you fly hundreds of missions, a mission failure was likely. It is true that later the chances were revised to even higher a higher chance, but by no means was the shuttle ever considered safe.
musk has burned through a huge pile of cash and only produced a few hundred thousand vehilces. Thats not a good example of what it will take to replace every car on the planet in 10 years.
I think the key is Authorized operation of an aircraft. if it is doing illegal activity like filming your daughters then it was not authorized and should be taken down.
So, what if I 'protect' my property with a drone of my own? I could claim the invader is the aggressor, and therefor the felonious one.
Its certainly not settled. And if one looks for articles that try to provide all the information, rather than simply celebrate an interpretation, you can find stuff like this;
To reach this justification, the FAA turned to 18 U.S.C. 32, a law that in part expands “United States jurisdiction over aircraft sabotage to include destruction of any aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States.” The FAA, as the part of government that oversees that sky, could have made an exception when applying this law to small, uncrewed aircraft. That it didn’t fits into a larger pattern: whenever the FAA is given the opportunity to treat drones as regular aircraft, it chooses to do so. That means pilot’s licenses for drone business operators, and it means that when the FAA bans aircraft for miles around the Super Bowl, that ban applies to drones too.
It also poses a complication for some local and state laws, like Utah’s proposed HB 420, which would let police shoot down drones in emergency situations. While the FAA may have answered decided that drone shootdowns are already illegal under existing law, we’ll have to see how drone shootdown cases proceed in the courts to know if that assertion will hold.
My wife's from the Philippines where household servants are still very common even in the middle classes. They typically use the term "maid", but "servant" is also used.
What's the big deal with that?
In that sense, there should be nothing wrong with it and I agree with your very good point, but in the reality of where we are in the US, 'servant' is often used in a demeaning context, and it is implied by the writer of the article. Is it nonsense? Yes, but not to the author, and I used the author's basic premise to point out the ridiculousness of the contention. Just to be clear, my perception of one who serves is in no way the same as the authors.
Why would the author of this article call a female voice that helps people a 'servant'. That seems kind of sexist and demeaning to me. Is is OK now to refer to people, including women, who work on help lines 'servants'?
Thanks for checking. I started looking but the data was hard to come by, and the available data was often vague. They seem to hide the critical numbers, like simply stating total Scottish consumption in TWH for the year.
One other thing they don't account for in the article or summary is actual imports and exports. They are part of the UK grid system, and sometimes when local renewable generation percentage is high it does not always happen at a time of high local usage. Overall, the total UK percentage by renewable was closer to 20% (it may be a bit higher or lower, working from memory), it is hard to see how the consumption in any given area is much more or less than that on average, and that indicates to me a lot of the total UK renewables from wind is from Scotland to begin with.
They've had great success with wind. There is no need for them to play word games to make it sound like they've reached some milestone.
and some things labelled as game changers turn out to be of little use, some things that are game changers are recognized as such, and some things nobody expects to be a difference maker becomes disruptive.
We need submissions to cover all of these scenarios.
Well, its a little more complicated that a candy press. It must be able to measure each ingredient in exact portions, evenly mix them, press them to the appropriate size (which might vary), and then be able to clear itself before new mixtures can be produced. All this must come with great precision and reliability, as someone could die if not done correctly.
I think it would be interesting more for mixing custom meds for those who take several different pills a day. Maybe they could just take one or a few of the same pills that have all the needed ingredients.
The only reason someone would even do this study is because they have some personal issue having their spelling corrected. Nobody else would even think of it much less care to spend time on it.
It likely has more to do with operation cost effectiveness than intentionally providing less service to push people to streaming , but I think its clear that NF will celebrate the day it can rid itself of the hard media portion of its business and concentrate solely on streaming.
Is NF original content available on disk? I never even thought about that.

Metallica -- this year's "ambassador" for the event -- plans to stream a live performance at Rasputin Records in Berkeley California.
I wonder if that performance would sound better on vinyl? Maybe we should just wait for it.
If this vinyl thing gets much bigger, it will no longer be cool.

I'd destroy it so it would never be used again.
If you find a spy camera on your property, I find it hard to believe you would be charged for destroying it. I would do so without hesitation.
If someone peers over your fence and starts taking photos, you can't grab their camera and smash it. .
If they enter your property with it, it may be allowed if you feel threatened.
By this same interpretation, kite fighting might be a felony.

This judge will suffer the wrath of doings! He is in deep sauce now.
If fingerprints were currency, you'd never go broke!
My guess is a fair amount of people open them just in an attempt to ID the owner so they can return it.
10% is HUGE when talking about a common charging method for all cars.
22 people a day die waiting for replacement organs and they thought it more ethical to put these hearts inside baboon stomachs?
Ha, Ha, charade your are.
Laptops have already reached the 'thin enough for me' plateau. Weight reduction is still a good thing though.
Uh, yeah. A "servant" is a person who serves.

How about the Segway... billed as the great game changer to human transportation ...until we actually started using them.

But what of the electric spoon?
https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22429935-000-food-bland-electric-spoon-zaps-taste-into-every-bite/
Did they not think to patent the E-fork as well?
The electric knife is quite another thing altogether... but maybe electric chopsticks?

They should make these IOT connected, of course!
