Twenty years ago we didn't even know that exoplanets exist and now we find more and more of them.
We did know they exist, we just haven't observed any. Does a tree make sound if it falls in the middle of the forest and nobody is there to listen at it?
You are wrong. The energy density of jet fuel is 34.7 MJ/l, which gives us 131.4 MJ/gal. If you convert to kWh, you get 36.5 kWh. This is 131353.8 kWs. The target power is 100 kW, hence you get 1313 1 second shots from a jet fuel gallon. Each shot is probably below 1 second and this is the theoretical peak. So, it is theoretically feasible to get a few thousands shots from a gallon of jet fuel.
I don't believe you can label an addict consuming what he/she is addicted to taking a conscious decision by consuming it. It is a bit more complicated than that.We call that an addiction for a reason.
No one can say what would have happened if Apple didn't copy the GUI from Xerox. It may just have taken a bit more time for Xerox to exploit its invention. But, X-Window (no s please) was already there and experiments with pointing devices did preceed Xerox's GUI.In short, we were at the door of this revolution anyway, Apple or not Apple.
You are an idiot. Coal and fossil fuel energy plants kill more people than nuclear plant, including the Chernobyl accident. Nuclear energy is safer than any other form of energy production, including hydro-electricity. A coal energy plant releases in the atmosphere more radioactive material than all the nuclear plants combined.
Being afraid of a terrorist attack on a nuclear plant is an unreasonable fear. A nuclear reactor isn't a nuclear bomb. Suppose they actually access the plant, how are they suppose to turn it into an actual cataclysmic event? The amount of logistic, knowledge and luck required to turn it into an actual threat is higher than many other alternatives. This fear of a terrorist attack on a nuclear plant is again largely exagerrated and fed by the anti-nuclear activists. They want the mass to perceive the nuclear plants as a perpetual, constant and actual threat against the human kind.
And just for the records, Volvo is also actively involved in autonomous car development as well. It is not like they don't know anything about it neither.
Socialism ensure no progress and no freedom. There is absolutely no real life example where socialism has succeeded to promote progress, innovation, increase global wealth and freedom.
"The advantages of this decentralized structure is that it would be more resilient, and there would be no centralized server where a spy or hacker could gather metadata, according to Frederic Jacobs, an independent security researcher who has worked as a developer for the encryption messaging app Signal."

Not a very practical solution to rely on a iPhone to capture sound an process it. Ears are working in a sterephonic way to identify where a sound is coming from, you will lost that with an iPhone. You also have to consider the battery being drained by a Bluetooth device on almost of the time in comparison of the Bluetooth earbuds which are on when you receive a call or when you listen at music. You are very unlikely to listen at music or talk over phone all the day long. You need to hear all the day long.
Only problem in your presidential election scenario is FB is rather than pusing Hillary than Donald. In fact, FB employees did ask Zuckenberg if they should do something to stop Trump. Because, as Microsoft, Facebook know what is good for you. https://politics.slashdot.org/...
You miss totally the point. In the case we are talking about, the only thing that matter is to know if compromising the routers/switches will grant access to the SWIFT network to initiate transaction or steal the encryption keys. The answer is clearly NO. End of the story.

I have no use of your conclusions.
And here is the mandatory idiotic comparison with the USA military budget to try to justify anything stupid.

In summary, buy my book for more bullshit.

Damn! I shouldn't have comment on this thread and lost my privilege to mod you up.

Well, you should be more accurate. So far, what all the experiments demonstrated using the Bell's inequalities is there is no local hidden variables.
You should terminate this conversation.
Why doing half the job? Ban drivers and implement self-driving autonomous vehicles.
You know nothing about hearing aids and hearing, don't you? An hearing aid is much more than an amplifier.
