The number of new experiences to integrate into long term memory is probably a lot larger for people living in a modern information saturated environment.
Because they are really contemplating a far worse scenario where everything in orbit gets permanently disabled. Perhaps they should start teaching how to make and use pointy sticks again too?
From my experience I have learned that if people are good at coding (or whatever) it is because they are naturals at it and get pleasure from the activity (flow), not because somebody held their hand.
Yeah optical flow and a compass is enough to escape to a safe distance, this is not new at all.
You would have more luck using another drone to drop a net and parachute combination on the intruding drone, then you have evidence to track the owner with while avoid the danger of rapidly falling objects.
There is nothing intelligent about these sort of simple disruptive attacks, they are nothing more than a form of temporary vandalism.
I could probably to a hell of a lot more damage with the guts of an appliance found in most kitchens, but would it prove I am smart? No.
If the scale required is your only argument you have made a very common error regarding the speed of change in exponential processes.
What can we do now?
What is the rate of technology doubling, D?
How many times, X, do we need to do it to get to the required magnitude?
It will take D*X years where 2^X = one hundred billion
And that is without anything radically new being discovered in that time period, so 20 to 30 years is actually possible.
Imagine what a large scale 3D quantum computing array would be capable of. We have just seen silicon based quantum logic fabrication developed and we already have 3D silicon based memory arrays.
Why send humans down to the surface when you can just send expendable android avatars which can be operated from geostationary orbit by teams working in shifts to maximise the work done for the mass transported down to the surface? When you leave you don't have to retrieve anything but samples and that takes a much smaller rocket, or allows more samples than if you need to also retrieve humans off the surface. Make the androids smart enough and they will learn enough before you go to continue a lot of the work with minimal instructions from Earth. It makes no sense at all to send people until you have built a truly sustainable habitat for them to live in on the surface as colonists. Why will this not be doable by the 2030s?
"Engineering" society so that it is full of taboos against symbols does nothing to change the thinking behind the misuse of arbitrary symbols, all you do is set up the people that you are shielding so that it is even easier to land a psychological blow on them by using words they have been conditioned to react to and not desensitized from hearing or reading.
If you want to make the world better you should call white people "nigger" and women "bro".
Is that inclusive enough for you?
And it isn't just motor vehicle testing, it is product efficiency testing and ratings systems in general.
There has been a huge amount of systematic green-washing and a lot of people with good intentions have wasted money on products that do not perform as claimed.
It is time to look at everything and purge the system of fake ratings for all products.
Here is half, if not all of the answer,
Radioactive decay accounts for half of Earth's heat. http://physicsworld.com/cws/ar...
The rest of the answer may be in the data (if known) about the distribution of heavy radioactive elements throughout the Solar System.
That is the bottom line, it made the company a lot of profit and the executive would have earned additional millions as a consequence.
Blame who you like, but you still have to pay back all of your your ill-gotten gains.
Perhaps you could use it in one of those 3D printers that uses a resin tank? With 0.5 reduction lens you get thousandth of an inch accuracy at over 8 inches range.
It is not the available electrical energy stored in the battery that contributes to their potential for catastrophic failure it is just that the battery materials also makes a good fuel for a lithium oxygen fire. This is not the case with a super capacitor that has such good conductive properties. You could do a lot of harm with them by discharging them rapidly through the wrong substance but that requires adding another material or substance to the equation.
The message from Australia is "operate within the law" and each state has a right to pass different laws covering the operations of such services. To suggest that Uber are unaware of this or unable to adapt their systems to work within the differences between jurisdictions is dishonest. They have a right to lobby governments, as every other company and special interest group does, but they don't have the right to defy a government and it's laws. What is their game, Anarcho-capitalism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
This is not very different from calls to boycott countries or companies for various political reasons, it is just that political orientation of the individual is perhaps different from the people who usually resort to similar tactics. However there is one big difference, he is within his right to do this and only hurts himself in making such a stand whereas calls to boycott companies and countries often causes collateral economic damage that harms innocent people.

What could possibly go wrong with a data-center full of self-destructing drives?
You don't even need nails, take a look at traditional Japanese woodworking, https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Did he also explain who was going to clean up it's crap?

Watts per Dollar is meaningless without knowing the average lifespan of the device and the degradation rate.
