The participation rate of women in the world of HAM radio has been a consistent 11% across the entire world for the last hundred years. That includes all cultures.
Regular fluorescent bulbs are chock full of mercury too. I've never understood why CF is singled out on this point. I have all LED now, but cf was a lifesaver when going off grid.
I'm a pretty dull guy and when I first saw the internet, I immediately thought of a dozen cool things to do with it. And that was in the first 30 seconds without trying.
Thousands, millions, of people have been trying to justify space for half a century and all we have is...tourism. Everything else is better with machines.
I used to think this, but thought about it a while and realized that a robot with humanoid form is a drop in for all the existing infrastructure. It may not be as efficient as a dedicated machine, but it will turn a manual mill into a cnc mill, any car into a driverless car, etc. And there is still plenty of non-automated infrastructure around.
Off by a decade. I started very young. I'm pretty sure you can objectively demonstrate that it's quite different from it's beginnings. The same thing all new technologies go through - radio, tvs, planes, cars immediately come to mind.
A lot of new ideas in the beginning as people are trying different things - and everything. Applying the new tech to old problems and trying things that people wanted to do, but couldn't. Then the industry matures. People have tried everything they can think of and it is taken over by the practicalities of business and becomes boring. It's not that the current technology is all that's needed as much as there is no new quantum jump technology like in the beginning, only incremental updates.
Yeah flash drives are cool, but hardly new and anyone with a few functioning brain cells knew they would replace hard drives. Especially since there were books written on the subject, trend lines plotted, dates predicted, cost savings, great new things that could be done. The jump from Monopoly to Zork was a lot bigger than the jump from Doom to Pokeman3D or VRDoom at eyeball resolution.
The GRIP experiment studies the long-duration spaceflight effects on the abilities of human subjects to regulate grip force and upper limbs trajectories when manipulating objects during different kind of movements: oscillatory movements, rapid discrete movements and tapping gestures.
Question is which came first, people not caring about having schematics and companies naturally saving wasted resources or trying to save money? What percentage complained when circuit diagrams were not glued to the inside of a tv? I know my uncle did, but he was a tv technician, I don't know of anyone else who did.
I'm sure you'd agree that autopilot system testing by the FAA is too onerous also. Flying is the safest form of travel, but everyone doesn't use it because it is expensive. Part of the reason it is expensive is because of all the regulations aircraft have to comply with. By eliminating testing. the price will come down, more people will take planes and helicopters everywhere and even more lives will be saved.
Most drills have physical clutches. In many cases physical controls are better than electronic, but not with cordless drill clutches. Physical clutches allow a certain amount of torque and then slip. That's wear and tear every time you use it. The drill is also working against itself, since the motor is putting out torque and the clutch is holding it back. With an electronic clutch, the motor only puts out as much torque as is needed. There's no extra wear and tear.
Stripping a screw can be detected by a rapid decrease in torque and increase in speed. Much the same way the AI in anti-lock brakes (developed in 1955) work, although in reverse.

So you are saying that it is sex dependent?

RMS is my role model.

What type of work?
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs
Growth at any cost is the human way.
No it's not. That is the defining feature of western civilization, not humanity.

Because in the future, there will be no more jobs on Earth and people will have to venture out into the final frontier for work.
there is no reason for them to be humanoid.

No regrets
Driverless cars are perfectly suited in such scenarios
Until they gain sentience and decide to get the hell out of there ASAP, not stopping to pick up extra people.

Corporations are the ones who really do the R&D. NASA is mostly a funding agency.
By that logic, America can't even put someone in the air.
yet you figured out what you thought about him months ago.
My parents do this 24 hours/day, but with a tv.
new technology is ruining X aspect of society
I think this is actually true. How much of modern society looks like society of 1980? A society exists, but it is not the same one.

Aren't teenagers to early twenty-somethings the most representative on the internet?
But apparently his wife is

Meat?
You need less lead than feathers to shield from radiation. If you do the math, lead requires the least mass.
