Think larger then... Imagine a large craft that never lands... a LARGE wing........ that always flies around the world, following the sun..
shuttle goes up and latches on, yet remains until the next 'station' airport.... at each station city around the globe, a shuttle launches in expectation of the wing, and as soon as those getting off separate from the wing, the new shuttle mates... between cities passengers disembark and load onto the shuttle...
how much more efficient can it be, if it never has to land, or come down to the lower atmosphere...
but instead is expected to stay at the same level for-- oh, 3-4 years at a go.....
in one of the books, when he explains himself, he describes himself as a stainless steel rat, because the 'game' between law enforcement/technology vs. crooks has advanced to the point where very few criminals have successful careers due to the degree of ability required. A hell of an analogy, keeps in line with what you describe...
doesn't mean catching them will be more difficult, only that the cutting edge will mean those who are very deft will succeed. Script kiddies will fall by the wayside, hopefully in large numbers..
That's the only memory that stands out for me from Seaquest. In the first few moments of the premiere episode, Roy Scheider is speeding on a motorcycle, and the govt. scans his tags/ID and launches his phone to advise him the fine has been deducted from his social security account.
cloning one animal ten times, and taking chances with the training of the clones., because if you take a risk that breaks a leg, you shoot it and have 9 more.
back in the 80's I was asked for my mothers maiden name-
I asked why they needed it- and they said for a password in case I ever called - i immediately thought -- my brother knows the answer to that- and he's the only person I can see attempting it
My mothers maiden name has been snotrag ever since (not snotrag, but something equally offcolor) and it's always been the same answer
"Considering medicare does not kick in till 65, I am still looking at 25 long years of career. I am wondering what the best way would be for me to stay employable in the coming years?"
good luck with your life.. is that the extent of your retirement planning???? and you don't have a house or at least down money socked away yet? from the math I'm assuming you are 40... in a tech career... I'm not trying to be snarky, I don't know you or your background.. but from what few lines I've read I'm not encouraged about your situation from what little I do have. I am forming opinions based on incomplete data. But it is extremely naive sounding that you'll be done at a perfect 65
Medicare is a failsafe that you can't count on, and even today does not provide enough for recipients to retire on from a medical standpoint.. it's just the only stopgap available.

I woulda prefered they make it look like freefall/ gravity free myself..
I can take the balance weights off your car wheel with a paperclip and the loss of balance just might make the wheel wobble enough to fall off.
It's easier to stop something moving when other forces exist to assist you, then it is to get it started all on it's own.
do you know soldiers don't march synchronized when crossing a bridge?
a small platoon on foot can take down a bridge....

" and were being paid 1,550 yuan (US$243.97) a month for working six days a week, she said. "
"But they had to pay hundreds of yuan for food and accommodation, "
so, if it's at least 200 a week, or 800 a month, that's more than half the pay minimum

nothing to prevent (short of lack of funds) trainers from cloning ten animals and taking greater risks with training because they have spares.
