What would they look for with a submarine? It would be very cool, but wouldn't it basically look like the surface, but under liquid? I skimmed the articles, but didn't see anything. Why not a floating raft with a drop camera? Seems simpler and more versatile.
I wish I could pay less to get a lower speed. I don't play games and any video I watch is generally set at 144x144 to save bandwidth. But my only option is 5mps with the cable company constantly trying to sell me 10mps.
we should develop a permanent colony on the Moon, build industry there, especially space industry
One quarter of all slashdot stories anymore are about how no one is going to have a job in ten years because of robotics. Why won't the same thing apply to the moon? Are we just going to ship hundreds of people there to consume air as they sit around watching automation do all of the work just as they would be doing if they were sitting on Earth?
And here I thought I've been in tech all of my life, but have never lived in SV, so I don't know now. Mostly high end tech too. I have worked in five states that aren't CA. From my perspective I haven't seen any new tech come from there in more than a decades, it's all toothbrush of the month club now on your iPhone crap
Same problem with "drones". They took weeks and months to build, cost a year of working (if you were a kid) and took months (and a lot more money) to learn to operate.
Now they practically fly themselves, are nearly free and come pre-assembled.
I started in engineering 30 years ago. I'd say that almost 100% of what engineers did back then is gone. But the engineers are still here and the song remains the same.
I don't know, but they do. Probably something to do with computers. And they send you a picture of your car and license plate as you go across the line.
Sure it is. It costs the same amount to mail to San Jose as it does to Boston,MA. I got a bill for crossing the Golden Gate Bridge last spring. Not only that, but there were no toll booths at or for the bridge.
They do not fine you for toll evasion, they send you a regular bill and a due date (usually by the end of the month). If you register with the system a prior, you get a small discount. I've done multiple cross country trips this year and have gotten dozens of these.It's no big deal.

Probably.They changed their stance on H1B visas.
And the Blue Oyster Cult. I watched that movie again last month.

That's a very big except at about 90 above absolute zero.
I wonder how long I will be allowed to fly.
So you're OK with paying for Internet by the Kb, like you pay by the kWh for electric?
Works for me. This was the norm in most places until recently
Instant gratification doesn't work with a 3 second delay.

Why is a nerd tech website so obsessed with taxi's?
What does France's energy breakdown by use look like? The US only burns oil for transportation and not much else.

I'm living in a garage. I'm here right now as I type, what of it? I've lived in far worse place before.
This was the subject of a 1985 issue of BYTE! magazine that asked what happens when real-time video streams cannot even be trusted.
/. was best before it even had accounts or the notion of an AC.

How was it good?
Didn't I read this 40 years ago?
99% of people already have this.
I am the 1%.

I've done this a lot. They send you a toll bill, not a fine.You get that if you don't pay the toll.
