You know where this is going to end up. Hackers will attack one retaliatory strike capability network using systems from either another innocent network or one also with retialatory strike capability, then sit back and watch the fireworks. Or even get a network to attack itself like the elite newbie hacker who on a chat forum, used his elite coding skillz to remotely reformat the disk drives of the system at 127.0.0.1
Avengers were a team with male and female character. Superman and Batman are lone heroes.
Traditionally many of those adventure movies had a checklist of 12 plot features. It was describedf on this site many postings ago. Things like: The Hero, The sidekick, The mentor, The foe, The girlfriend, The departure, The secret weapon, The first failed attempt, The lost buddy, The final success, The journey home, The celebration
You can fit movies like Star Wars and The Hobbit into this checklist.
There's a small gap in the blood-brain barrier. It's designed to allow brain-side neuron receptors to measure glucose levels. What about detecting iron in haemoglobin. With deoxygenated blood, haemoglobin is actually dia-magnetic and will repel a magnetic field (around 5:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?...)
During 9/11 and major Internet outages across the world, we discovered that the long-distance carriers weren't using mesh networks but had consolidated their infrastructure into spanning tree networks to save money. Then customers realized that even having multiple providers wasn't enough as they had virtualized their capacity through subleasing of fibre optic conduits, bundles and even virtual networks. Facebook and Google had to deal with so much data sloshing around their pipes, they needed colocation facilities right next to the major internet switchpoints in order to handle the capacity. Blame the long distance providers.
When the first ISP's to home users became available they gave out Winsock Trumpet applications to use to read Email and Usenet, do FTP, gopher, traceroute, ping and whois
You can see this when trying to watch TV at home. My womenfolk are retired nurses. They've worked on every kind of ward; padiatrics, maternity, general surgery intensive care, burns and terminal cancer wards. Because of the last two they simply can't watch anything with violence. That rules out most sci-fi movies, war movies, Western movies, even Dr Who. Medical movies annoy them because they have so many inaccuracies; modern operating theatres have cauterizing scalpels - surgeons don't come out through the doors looking like they have been chopping up meat with a machete. Modern comedy annoys them because of the way the comedians insult other people. They can't stand sci-fi movies because actors usually wear prosthetics to give them all sorts of lumps and bumps. To a nurse they look like tumours.
What they can watch is clean comedy and movies with social relationships. Sci-Fi themes is acceptable if the plot devices are invisible; a vintage hotel elevator that's a time machine allows the lead character can travel between two time periods and have different sets of friends and family bringing gifts from each period. What is an everyday item in one era is a treasured gift in another, and everything builds up from that. Stories by Asimov were enjoyable - I Sing the Body electric where an android nanny becomes a caregiver decades later in life. Or the story about a kid who refused to use teleporters to go from school to home but preferring to walk home through the landscaped gardens maintained by robots.
Top Gun was one of those movies that managed to capture both audiences crossing the gap between technology, military weapons and family relationships.
They call it "Golden Jail" in Los Angeles as well. You've bought a house there, want to trade up to a bigger home, but can't really afford the prices. But you certainly don't want to move to a smaller home or somewhere further out. So you're trapped in a Golden Jail.
Similar thing in the UK. Salaries tend to be higher down South especially close to and in London. People in the North of the country would always go "down South" to advance their careers or when there were layoffs. Then they get a payrise. But they can't afford to move out because they would have to take a pay cut.
At the top of the food chain were the big iron companies that made UNIX workstations and servers (Sun, SGI, HP, Dec, Digital, Apple, Fujitsu), chip makers (MIPS, Intel), high-speed networks (Cisco) and databases (Oracle). At the far end of the peninsula were Pixar and ILM. Microsoft crushed big iron UNIX with Windows NT. They got companies to abandon their own OS variants and use Windows NT instead.
If you look around the internet for "Silicon Valley wall posters", you'll find cartoon style maps of all the companies that used to be there:
Its when the accuracy becomes better than a human then it becomes a problem. Some people like oncology radiologists, their job is looking at X-ray, MRI and CAT scans and identifying when a fuzzy white blob is cancer or not. There were people who made their living from creating books for the blind by reciting the words. They lost that living when smartphones and home computers could do that automatically.
"Ultra-pure water (UPW), which is defined as water of utmost purity and lacking in microorganisms, minerals, or trace organic or nonorganic chemicals, is essential to several purification steps (GWI 2009, PNPPRC 2000). One of the more UPW intensive steps occurs after a chemical-mechanical polish. This process leaves a fine grit/slurry residue which needs to be washed off with ultrapure water. Once the wash water is evaporated, it is essential that there remains no mineral residue, otherwise short-circuiting and other defects may occur.
The semiconductor industry spends around $1 billion every year on water and wastewater systems. Much of it goes into UPW production from influent city water. A fab may use between 2 to 4 million gallons of UPW every day, which is approximately equivalent to the water use of a city with a population of 40 to 50 thousand.
Producing UPW is an elaborate process. Typical processes/components include: filtration, micro flocculation, activated carbon, reverse osmosis, degasifies, electro-deionization, and ultraviolet radiation. Among many other standards, the total organic constituents must be less than 1 ppb and the resistivity must be under 18.2 microOhm-cm."
That's what the smartphone companies do as well. I was in Silicon Valley where the CEO's complained about the "mend and make do" World War II mentality of their customers IT departments. To them, having to support old hardware was holding back software and hardware development as well as sales of new hardware.
If parasites like the vermoa mite are the problem, then it should be possible to train the bees to remove them by playing instructional videos. It was possible to teach bees to play football simply by playing a video of what to do plus the reward of a surgary treat.
Read the newspapers from the 1990's. Farmworkers noticed that bees became slow and dozy and started to fly into things wherever those bright yellow fields were located.
I always thought they could block the movement of locusts using reflective helium ballloons. The one thing a locust doesn't want to do is to fly into water. For this reason, their left and right compound eyes are polarized vertically on one side and horizontally on the other. When sunlight is reflected by water, it becomes polarized in the plane of reflection. The difference in light intensity in both compound eyes is then used to determine which areas should be avoided. Put up some reflective balloons that also reflect sunlight and they would avoid those too.
But there could be some underlying deterministic process inside that lump of uranium like reaction-diffusion equations creating rolling waves of energy. When some point crosses a threshold, nuclear fission occurs, and then the process repeats.
Some time ago, they described a method of deducing the shape of a photon in space. The researchers took a high-energy source like a soft X-ray photon, and fired it through a field of inert atoms (Neon/Argon). While the X-ray photon wasn't an absorption frequency of the inert atoms, it did have enough electrical/magnetic energy to push/pull an electron into a higher energy orbit due to quantum flux, where the electron then jumped down an energy level and gave off a photon of it's own. Ergo, they "saw" the X-ray photon travel through space.
If I had my own Physics lab, I combine this with the classic monochromatic light source / slit experiment.
he new experiments aren't the only ones to show superposition states.
In 2010 scientists at the University of California at Santa Barbara built a resonator — basically a tiny tuning fork — the size of the pixel on a computer screen, and put it into a state of superposition, in which it was both oscillating and not oscillating at the same time. But that wasn't as extensive a system as those in the two recent papers.
"That experiment corresponds to one quanta," said Nicolas Gisin, a professor at the University of Geneva, who led the Swiss research team. "Imagine a nano-mechanical motor showing no oscillation and 500 states. That would be ours."
The vehicles have cameras, radar, lidar and they integrate this information into a single stream. The have a "bullshit detector" known as a Kalman filter to only accept accurate information. Any data that conflicts is discarded. That information comes out as a cloud of points and has to be processed as road surface, road signs, pedestrians, vehicles, obstacles. Those are the easy ones. Then there is ice, snow, water puddles, reflections, vehicles with razzle-dazzle adverts (buses with a collage of road signs), street art (some cities have murals painted on concrete walls. Classic example is the hole-knocked-in-the-wall with a paradise of green meadows and blue sky on the other side). On the rare event side, there are sinkholes, overturning trucks.
One way is just to have the vehicle trained to match the current camera view with what should be done using a training set of video frames.
Just having auto-braking to avoid obstacles on the road has reduced insurance claims by 60%. Some cars already had proximity sensors to assist in parking in a garage.
I wonder why they can't use drones rather than balloons. Balloons would seem to just drift with the wind and end up goodness knows where. Drones could be used to fly for hours with hydrogen fuel cells and then return to base.
It would be interesting to see if they could quantum entangle two MEMS resonant oscillators. Change the amplitude on one and the other changes amplitude. But how do you entangle them in the first place - beams of quantum entangled photons?

You were lucky to get PC's running at 60MHz back then. It wasn't until 1994 that there were 90MHz PC's running Doom.

It could be something like a cloud chamber. Looks random here:
