You missed the part where they started out trying to find a better treatment for Osteoporosis, which is more common in women, who also start out with less bone mass and have less tolerance for losing it.
But good job knocking the ever-living shit out of a straw man and projecting gender-malice where it probably doesn't exist. They didn't find a treatment for Osteoporosis, but in the process they may have found something therapeutic for another condition - are they supposed to just throw that one back?
Congratulations on fulfilling the prophecy of another poster.
This "cure" for baldness came out of the research for a treatment for another serious condition: osteoperosis. The "cure" for ED came out of research looking for a new drug for saving heart attack patients.
These researchers didn't set out to find a cure for hair loss, they just happened upon a candidate for one. Are they supposed to just toss that back? And why, because you say so?
Of course it was a slam dunk - Saddam Hussein ordered the use of mustard and sarin gas on Kurdish villages in 1988. They used gas several times throughout the Iran - Iraq war in the 80s, and the CIA knew about it, documented it, and then STFU about it - one of the reasons we look really fucking hypocritical with this Syria "red line" business. Everyone over there in 1991 was waiting for him to break out the nerve gas in Desert Storm, but he wisely didn't knowing that it would only result in complete destruction and surrender would be off the table, and he'd land in a cell at The Hague.
The CIA figured he'd keep a stash or three and would never give up the shit we already knew he had. It probably all went to Syria, and it's probably the gas that Syria is using today - Syria gave up what they were known to have in that deal made a couple years back, and now they're using the shit they weren't known to have, because the CIA turns out to be really bad at tracking these kinds of things.
As with all things, it depends on the language of it. If the treaty permits withdrawl, then yes - the ratification of the treaty by the US Senate ratifies all parts of it, including the ability to get out, which would be executed by the President's authority. This is one of the reasons why Presidential elections are really important - to not allow some petty and petulant asshole access to this kind of power.
Oops. Our bad, guys. We'll try to fix part of that come November.
However, as others have stated, this wasn't a formal treaty - it was never ratified by the Senate. Therefore it was just administrative action, and can be undone through administrative action. And yes, you are probably correct - this has more to do with hitting the Undo button on anything with Obama's signature on it (regardless of if it's bad or good) than anything else.
Exactly nobody that is following any major religion believes that there should be a nuclear war anywhere. Islamic texts can be interpreted as deterrence being ok, but there are many passages that state that the killing of infants, elderly, innocents, other Muslims, women sends you to hell for eternity. Christianity and Judaism have the concept of the 6th commandment "thou shalt not murder". Nuclear weapons don't pick and choose who dies, which means their use would undeniably murder innocent non-combatants.
The use of nuclear weapons is inherently against the beliefs of any of the major religions present in the middle east, unless you are ignorant enough to think an extremist psychopath interpretation from someone who has twisted the religion around to suit their needs speaks for the majority. Spoiler alert: it doesn't.
Because data issues happen, and your system should either do entry validation when entered into the database to prevent that problem, or gracefully deal with data entry issues like a double-stroked space bar.
I really want to know what you do with the less than two seconds per week you save by not entering a code. Time is precious, but if you spend any time posting to slashdot at all, you have already wasted orders of magnitude more time than the total time entering a passcode on a phone in its service lifetime.
That is some serious micromanaged time tracking you have going there.
You know that subways exist, right? They manage to accelerate without having to mop out gallons of vomit after each trip. External visual references, or "windows with lights in the tube" are solved problems. Even the Gemini capsule had windows while being exposed to much harsher conditions - why couldn't this? Plus, the need probably isn't as dire as you think it is - thousands of people are in middle seats on wide-body airliners every day, nowhere near windows, looking straight ahead and don't turn into gurgling vomit fountains.
Why can't the tube have pressure sensors, that when a segment is seen to have higher pressure than it's supposed to, the oncoming vehicle slows down in order to not hit a wall of air and "obliterate" itself? This thing isn't a total vacuum - it's reduced pressure. That kind of basic design would be included in making something "fail-safe".
The good news is that absolutely nobody working on this is going to read anything you wrote and say "damn, we didn't think of that. Oh well, better give up now instead of trying to create something that could revolutionize high speed travel and logistics."
Now only if we could have somehow solved the problem of moving waste heat away from really hot things in an atmosphere where the ambient air temperature is far below the thing you're trying to cool off...
I would imagine that on Mars you would need heat. And as it turns out, this thing generates one hell of a lot of heat in order to turn the attached Stirling engine. That heat still has to go somewhere - may as well use it for environmental conditioning before it goes into the thin Martian atmosphere and not bother using the electricity generated for that.
Example: if they are collecting all their log messages into something like Elasticsearch, then I guess you could call Elasticsearch a "database".
Of course, if they had a proper code review before pushing to production, anything logging PII, passwords, and the like would be found and rejected as part of the QA process. Or at least have logging levels per environment and if you're going to have something like this in there, log it at DEBUG level instead of INFO or higher, and leave production set to only log INFO and above. Test environments can still be logging at DEBUG so that you can see stuff like this... for debugging!
It's almost like logging levels have existed for decades.
Yes, just the same as Jaguar Land Rover makes a couple different versions of the Range Rover at different price points.
Some people want a smaller version (the Evoque) while others want the full-length classic Range Rover with all the luxury features and a supercharged V8.
You're riight, there's no conspiracy. Just a few deep pocket investors that know how the shorting game works and have the resources to pull it off in a big way. The finance media are just tools being used, not co-conspirators. And there's a whole lot of useful idiots playing the part of "the greater fool" that help out.
For example, "Celebrity" investors like Jim Chanos habitually short Tesla, then do "interviews" about their position on any financial press outlets that will have him in order to get the sheep to follow along dragging the stock down and fulfilling his position. Sure, all the sheep have to buy shares to cover their bad short play every time, but that's not his problem - that's the problem of the useful idiots.
And when he continually grows his hoard of cash on making "the smart play" he just gets to do it all over again, and a whole new batch of lemmings start walking toward the cliff.
They actually did better than expected, and the stock was up on the publishing of the numbers. Then Musk opened his mouth and started berating the analysts and financial press - both of which have an outsized influence on which direction a stock can go in the short term.
I think Musk had a couple things to say about volatility of the stock price too. Remember, most of his own net worth comes from TSLA shares, and his own compensation is now tied closely to stock price and net worth - he doesn't want to see it go down either, but he's also not worried about this day or that day. The long-term trajectory is what is important.
Unfortunately, that trajectory isn't looking as hot as it did at this time last year.
Especially when it is the most shorted stock of any American company right now. It's hard not to think that whoever is holding all that short interest might be able to yank the strings of their whore puppets in the financial press in order to help give the stock a bit more headwind to help their position pay off.
It doesn't hurt with Musk going and berating the press for doing their job, either. Something about pissing off people that buy ink by the barrel...
No, they god damn haven't. Stop saying this, it's completely and utterly incorrect.
Please learn what gross product margins are, and the difference between capital expenditure and operational expenditure. They just filed paperwork with the SEC showing their profit margins and they aren't negative. So either you're massively ignorant to how a business works, or you're intentionally oversimplifying the situation to the point of just posting things that are incorrect. A business can be unprofitable, but still be selling products at a profit. See: Amazon.
The profits from sales are being invested back into the business in the form of capital expenditure - more manufacturing capacity in Fremont and Gigafactory 1. Factories and robots don't grow on trees - you have to buy them. And because Tesla has a $2.7B cash pile, they're taking an overall short-term loss right now in order to get those factories and robots. It's being re-invested in the business in order to grow future revenues by producing more product.

So the hundreds of thousands of Teslas driving around for the last 10 years don't actually work and it's been mass delusion?
Please think twice before posting again. Actually, I'd settle for thinking at all.

This isn't about trucks. This is about replacing Union Pacific and the like.
This is the modernization of intercity rail cargo transport, which hasn't appreciably changed since they stopped shoveling coal into a boiler.
My guess would be "anything you're already using air freight for, but don't want to pay air freight prices for."
Which equates to "anything going air freight where this service is available."
Seems fairly obvious to me.
Now only if we could have somehow solved the problem of moving waste heat away from really hot things in an atmosphere where the ambient air temperature is far below the thing you're trying to cool off...
That's because he's a troll.
Troll be trollin'.

What, you mean that the Minutemen weren't driving their Range Rovers up to the battle at Yorktown in order to seal the deal against King George?
I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that NASA might send some shit to Mars that's a little more efficient than what you bought at Home Depot.
Correct, for various values of "database".
Example: if they are collecting all their log messages into something like Elasticsearch, then I guess you could call Elasticsearch a "database".
Of course, if they had a proper code review before pushing to production, anything logging PII, passwords, and the like would be found and rejected as part of the QA process.

Remember that the wish for any company to fail fast and spectacular is wishing for thousands of people to be out of their jobs.
Don't be a fucking vulture.
