The big steel coupling is a problem. Added weight, fails sometimes anyway. But if all the cars were independent, but in communication, then it works like they are connected, but can "disconnect" any time. "Reliable" isn't needed. Trains need "reliable" more because they cause so much damage if there's a problem. But cars kill people tens of thousands of times a year, "unreliable" is still 1000 times better than what we have now.
You are talking about what OKCupid can do with it. TFA is about what a 3rd party can do without OKCupid's permission. You didn't read TFA or even TFS? That makes you the idiot.
Door to door time betwen Dallas and Houston favors a car. But the time and concentration excludes a car. You can fly up in the morning, taxi to the office, and taxi to the airport and fly home in the same time as driving, but you have to pay attention to the car the whole time driving..
Commute times will drop significantly when there are self-driving-only lanes, and the makers come up with a single protocol for communication, so they operate more like an indefinite length train than a line of cars.
OKCupid may share it. But you can't look up the personal details of a member without joining. And TFA indicated that the people who shared the data got it by logging in, to get around OKCupid data protections. You are confusing a theory on how it could have happened, with the reality. Reality wins.
Your objection is invalid. Almost all places that legalize prostitution also leave pimping less than fully legalized, so as to give the protections you mention.
It's only in the US where people assume the worst possible laws, and work hard to get them. Then hold up their poor experience as proof we need more laws to control the bad laws.
None of the two parties want Trump, yet here he sits, the presumed candidate for a major party, and polling with a reasonable chance of winning. He could afford the buy-in without "permission" and had enough popular support to upset many.
Just a collection of facts which were voluntarily made available to the general public.
So creative works are "facts" and requiring a login is "public".
You are simply insane. Your reality doesn't match anyone else's reality. It's a form of insanity. You should seek help before you hurt yourself or others. You are insane and dangerous.
If prostitution was legal, then human trafficking drops to zero (or so close that it's not really measureable). So as pointed out, it's the government that makes trafficking happen. Since NZ legalized prostitution, there have been no cases of human trafficking. The black market only exists because the government requires it.
It's nearly impossible to get two corporations into binding arbitration. Your legal rights are greatly limited, and one bad day from one "impartial" person or panel, and you've lost everything.
Nope. Your misunderstanding of legal rulings doesn't mean anything. MS hosting servers in the US is covered by US law. A human in Denmark is subject to the laws of Denmark, even if the crime isn't in denmark. You are misunderstanding this to be a corporate law case, when it's one of the most discussed and settled international law questions of someone standing in one jurisdiction shoots across the border and kills someone on the other side.
The Dane in Denmark broke Danish law in Denmark, and you argue that because the server "hacked" was in another jurisdiction, all laws are invalidated. And that's simply not how anything works, no matter how much you want it to be.
You keep asserting that the data is "public", but it requires a login to access it. By your logic, you should give us your password, as any data hidden behind it is "public".
You are hopelessly naive if you think that dating profiles are full of "facts". Or do you just like arguing with everyone because it's the only way someone will talk to you?
Also, as those logging in were presumably in the EU at the time of logging in, they would be held to the EU ToS, which *do* trump Fair Use.
The '60 hijacks were people going to Cuba, everyone walks away. The 2000+ hijacks result in death of everyone. Making the assumption that a success results in the death of everyone has stopped shoe bombers and others that made it through security and were uninterested in cockpit doors.
Yes, the lock would have stopped 9/11, but many other things would have stopped it as well.
I didn't realize airports were allowed to fire the TSA and go back to their own security, but I don't understand why all airports don't do this right now!
They aren't. It's a bluff. The FAA could shut them down. For now, those who could call the bluff appear to be waiting to see what happens. If nobody calls their bluff, everyone will start doing it.
At least we aren't giving you advice from outside the US. Domestic flights outside the US have almost no security. No ID checks of any kind. Though there's a security line, so you can feel secure, if you really want to.
The security used to be private, and let through 9/11. That's one of the basis of the TSA, though there was nothing let through that wasn't on the government's allowed list.
The assumption was a rational populous, not just unleashing the new people into the current society. If the "mature enough to drink" line were reached 10 years earlier, then move the drinking age to 11. Puberty being earlier wasn't just for procreation, but to reach peak physical condition as quickly as practical, so we can lower the age of manual labor to 10. Not to promote child labor, but to eliminate it by making them un-child sooner.
We have a teen pregnancy problem because we have extended "childhood" long past the age when children are adults. Why is a 19 year old having a child a "problem"? After all, that's a (literal) teen pregnancy
Right, like we shouldn't shield ourselves from the elements with things like clothes and houses. After all, if evolution couldn't solve the problem, it'd be pure hubris for us to address it directly ourselves.
If we could engineer humans, we could make them disease resistant. HIV attacks certain cells in certain ways. We could engineer a human that's incompatible with it. A couple generations of that, and we've wiped out that disease. Tweaks like that for all targeted diseases, and we'd eliminate many of the vulnerabilities. They may mutate, but we can engineer around mutations. It takes longer, as the human generation is longer than a vrius's, but it can be done.
It wouldn't be hard to engineer night vision. The hardest part to that is engineeerin the changes to the lense to allow in UV. We've evolved to block UV in the lense, so as to protect our cornea, but engineering humans to be penta-chromats (we already have tetra-chromats, just rare), and have the 5th be in the UV spectrum. You'd need to have sunglasses, or UV blocking contact lenses, but at night, the glow in the atmosphere would give a pretty reasonable night vision.
Hundreds of small changes like that would be what makes a super soldier. Not the sci-fi ideas of super strong, invulnerable soldiers, but increased senses, tweaks to strength, and perhaps re-deisgn of weaknesses (especially in the joints). My orthopedic surgeon said he has proof we weren't "intelligently designed". You couldn't make a worse joint than the human knee. If we were designed, it wasn't by anything with intelligence.
We'll start with tweaks to the brain. Intelligence, screening out brain defects, and a uniformity to intelligence that will leave humans soulless. That's my prediction when we actually start playing with the genome beyond looking for know errors and aborting them. Remove dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, autism, and everything else that's a "learning" disorder linked to higher intelligence will kill some types of creativity. The ability to build a better human doesn't mean we ever will.
Sounds like fun. Build the ideal human, including genetic resistance to all known diseases, building in an ideal weight, and heart rate that's lower, and eliminating as many issues of aging as possible. Maximum intellect, earliest possible puberty, and maximize the utility of the person. The design goals are obvious enough.
But building a person one molecule at a time in committee? If it took them one minute per molecule, and they worked 8 hour days, 5 days a week, it's take them 24,000 years to assemble a human. If they worked 24/7, it'd take them only 6000 years. So they'd only need 24,000 committees working in parallel to complete this in one year (8 by 5) So far, leaking at 100% from meetings, it'd likely not be secret for long.

Ask the TSA. The theory is that people on the no-fly list would be flying under an assumed name.

Until the voters vote for change. And no, "hope and change" from a mainstream candidate is neither.

They don't protest, they just block it with lawsuits. Suts block with lawsuits. Seems obvious, right?
