" It's actually far easier to change the clock than it is to try to change all the stuff that's dependent on the clock."
No, it really isn't. Changing timetables or working hours or meetings times is done all the time. And whats the point of having clocks if they don't tell the actual (within reason) time? You might just as well have 10 hours labelled A -J with say G as noon. Makes as much sense as not having the clock saying noon at noon.
Its now known that the white matter in the brain isn't passive after all and does affect information processing, plus the neurons are also affected by "out of band" (for want of a better term) signals in the form of hormones. So unless you simulate all of that then at best it'll be a brain-lite even if they simulated all 100 billion neurons (which I very much doubt).
They will eventually. Look at how quickly wolves and bears returned into the deserted areas around Chernobyl. 5-7 million years? More like a few decades.
"Moreover whoda thunk it - we humans are motivated by status. What morons! Obeying their instincts instead of suppressing them. That's so bad for their mental health!"
The amusing thing is that anyone thinks a pick-up truck confers status. If its not being used by a real blue collar worker then just says wannabe trailer trash to me.
Laws are observed yes, but where the law is unclear it should be decided in due judicial process in a court, not thrown out beforehand by a judge just because in his personal opinion it doesn't have merit. I suspect he doesn't even fully understand the case since most legal types - especially judges who tend to be somewhat senior in age - are often technologically fairly clueless.

Yeah, sure, whats the problem with someone using the same amount of fuel in 10 hours for recreation purposes that a driver would use in 4 months to commute to work? Pah, fuss about nothing, right?
Jesus, with people like you around no wonder we have a problem.
I have a cousin who works as an enviromental consultant - helps small companies reduce their carbon footprint. But every year she takes at least 2 long haul holidays with her bf, usually to the far east. But wait, thats ok according to her - because once they get their they don't hire a car but cycle around! No, I'm not making this shit up. And yes, she's a millenial.
Flying cars may happen in 5 years but they'll just be toys for the mega rich and won't be allowed to go anywhere that a helicopter can't anyway due to civil regs and noise issues. This is nothing more than Boeing pumping its share price. Again.
He's 72, so before any of the shit hits the fan with any force he'll probably be dead so what does he care? He'll just make sure his cronies in the oil and coal industries are happy with their backhanders then he'll retire to his golf course. Meanwhile the world could well be left picking up the pieces of his idiotic enviromental policies for decades to come when he's just a footnote in history books.
It generates it in the first place and in theory could modify it anyway it sees fit. The digestive system doesn't understand appetite - it just understands full, processing, empty and poison. Anything more than that is qualia generated by the brain.
Note to all millenials - we sent men to the moon only a year after this so yes, things could be quite sophisticated back then. Also London had self driving automatic trains on the Underground in 1967.
The technological revolution didn't start with the iPhone or Facebook. HTH.
"the range of torque and speed needed at different operating conditions is a terrible match for a gas turbine"
True, but you can use gas turbines to drive generators which is what is done on ships. Whether you could fit that into a loco is another matter.
But you may have a point here, though I'd be surprised if when tallied up the H2 is anything more than break even compared to using the gas direct because don't forget, H2 has to be heavily compressed to be stored which takes even more energy plus it leaks out no matter what container you use.
Thats putting it mildly. Not only does it use a fossil fuel to obtain the H2 and require energy to run the process, it also ends up getting LESS energy out of the gas itself than if the gas had just been burnt directly.
Unless H2 is obtained from electrolysis using renewables or nuclear then its the complete opposite of a carbon neutral solution and is nothing more than a "We Need to do something, this is something, lets do it" style bandwagon for politicians to jump on.

I thought it was the russians, or perhaps the Illuminates. Or maybe was that last weeks conspiracy theory? I lose track of them all.
" If you don't believe it, you're a moron."
There's a surplus "n't" in that sentence.

" then she can live in China..."
There's the downside. Quite why anyone would want to live in a polluted authoritarian dictatorship beats me. Obviously money is king with her.
According to quantum theory its a probability volume which is not necessarily round depending on the enviroment.
So better the precedent is set by him throwing the case out before its even been heard? Right, ok, I'm sure you think your logic has argument....

You're assuming the plane would still fly if no one showed up. The airline would cancel unless it really needed it at the destination.

Try landing one in the middle of a busy road and see how long before the police turn up.

Preprocessing is not the same as recognition.
Fiddling with the optic nerve would modify the behaviour of the brain. That doesn't mean what we describe as vision is done in the eye.
It generates it in the first place and in theory could modify it anyway it sees fit. The digestive system doesn't understand appetite - it just understands full, processing, empty and poison. Anything more than that is qualia generated by the brain.
