Another key takeaway is that this scenario can now be analyzed and applied to millions of future situations. I just wish all the various autonomous driving companies were sharing their work.
Apple: Dragging you into the future since 1984. In this case, the future is wireless. Headphone jack is the warning shot, and the removal of the lightning connector the end game. You'll be able to date movies by all the wires coming out of things.
You may not have been following what SpaceX is trying to do an the methodology to get there. The mission is to resupply the ISS, which looks to be a 100% success for the fifth time, pending a safe docking on Monday. They also have returned a payload of cargo to return to Earth safely four times. The Progress Raduga capsule can only return 150 kg of cargo, where Dragon can return 2500 kg, pressurized. They are doing all of this at a much lower cost than the competition. This is the mission and they have been 100% successful with Falcon 9 v1.1 every time.
They have a long-term goal of full reusability for their spacecraft, starting with the most expensive part of the launch, the first stage booster. Because every other launch in the history of rocketry has involved the destruction of the first stage, they build the cost of losing the first stage into the total launch cost. (The space shuttle's boosters parachuted back to Earth, but were not reusable - just parts of them, and only after a great deal of costly refurbishment.) Each attempt to land the booster is an experiment at this point, which has the benefit of being a freebee, as the booster has already been paid for. Attempt one spun out of control, but they got good data, understood the problem and adjusted. Attempts two and three had the booster vertical and hovering over the ocean. This was 100% success, as there was no more optimal outcome for the experiment. However, the landing point was not a precision target, but a 10 sq km range. On today's first attempt to land on a solid surface, they had to land with extreme precision, which they did successfully, but came down too hard. These are experiments, so each step forward, as long as the failures produce actionable data, can be deemed a success.
Also, a workforce not afraid to lose insurance if they leave their jobs is a more mobile workforce, able to migrate to regions with better job markets.
Were we better off by not heavily taxing cigarettes, putting warning labels on cartons, and banning smoking in public places? How many children have living parents because of that? And yes, the analogy does hold. Nobody should be drinking 20oz. sodas. It's obscene and has become the norm. We are all paying for the dialysis via higher insurance premiums so it's a case where the government should have a mandate to act for the public good.
The Space Elevator Will Mean: Less Parking, Weird Ribbon Thing, Constant Loud Whirring Noise, Increased Space Elevator Truck Traffic. Developers have submitted plans to build a massive space elevator in Williamsburg! This monstrosity, completely out of context with existing development in the neighborhood, will be accessible only to the wealthy, forcing thousands of average Williamsburgers from their homes and live-work spaces! Jobs the elevator will generate (operators, repairmen, astronauts) are certain to go to non-residents! Don't sit idly by and let this elevator cast its impossibly long, cold, and very narrow shadow over our homes! CALL 311 AND TELL THEM 'I JUST DON'T NEED THIS SPACE ELEVATOR!'"
He isn't perfect, but to say he is not a visionary is missing the fact that he was selling software on every from platform the moment the PC arrived (1975), at 20 years old. He saw the software market before anyone.
Get up early three times a week and gym, bike, or run. It's difficult to be consistent going to the gym after work, since you may be drained or want to spend time with friends or family. Working out early also energizes you for the day, one you are a bit in shape (just a few weeks to adjust). Also, your workout doesn't need to be more than 30-45 minutes, but you should work out with some intensity, once you have worried up to being able to do so.

What the fuck is wrong with YOU? Please describe your alternate utopian society where there is no taxation.
So now the reason is clear: Americans are getting fat from eating bigger turkeys.
Nope, and Google just followed them there. Because no wires. And more internal space.
Apple: Dragging you into the future since 1984. In this case, the future is wireless. Headphone jack is the warning shot, and the removal of the lightning connector the end game. You'll be able to date movies by all the wires coming out of things.
The period after a tragedy is no time to talk about solutions. Thoughts and prayers only, please.
Marginally more ethical than this study: https://youtu.be/cQ7J7UjsRqg

Apparently the 70-90% top marginal tax rate in the 1960s didn't prevent job creation.

So we should be encouraging habits that kill people at early ages to save money? You must be a Republican.

Very funny! But Xenix does live on: http://www.sco.com/products/op...
Whether or not it's old tech is irrelevant if they can land their stages for reuse. It would be revolutionary.
Faith in humanity restored.
Can't believe I was beaten to this by the ninth post.

No, next up are sheeple.
It's too big to be a space station. I have a very bad feeling about this.
I should have googled Bachmann on this before I commented. That's funny.
It's like a Voice of America type thing. No big deal.
Well now, if Bachmann says so, it must be the right thing to do.
