NVM how Sony, if anything, is more of a consortium; and very open in many areas. Their e-book reader ecosystem is based around open standards. Likewise with DAP devices. You're quite likely to have a CCD from them (plus some other hi-tech components... yes, being "tricked" into giving them money and solidifying their tech lead in some areas, the horror); output of which can be greatly aided by one of the best (and very inexpensive) NLE software; both a "competition" to Sony Pictures, I guess... how the evil Sony could do that?
Or even banking. And not being involved in recent mess in that field.

One might argue that the real mistake was in reaffirming / accepting the usage of "theory" under its present definition, in scientific vocabulary... (yes, then there's the possibility that the word actually had, in the past, more "proper" meaning in common English; too lazy to check its etymology & changes)
But you know, you might have just inspired me to use "hypothesis" in common speech as much as possible & to pass it on;) (assuming I won't be too lazy here, will care after all; or maybe some greater movement?;) )
Duh (2nd *), DAT was targeted at professional audio space (and actually is very related to pro / tape backup solutions)
(* you seem to miss the point of 1st; don't you see how not being very adopted is merely a definition of "failing format", nothing more? Especially vs. many successful formats introduced by Sony / a company is associated more with failures simply because failures are exclusive)
When one is lazy (why bother?:p ) and mostly just glances over 1-liner view of "Hot Comments" box, it's manageable (but yeah, the waste of energy & thought is staggering)
My list is "some success"? Face it, you just remember their failures for whatever reason (and DAT is not one). Which appear relatively numerous simply because Sony does a lot, introduced a lot (plus a cognitive bias of "Sony-exclusive" formats being a failure - real surprise there how this set overlaps which "formats not adopted by others"...)
In the survey 28% of people think they can watch movies in high definition with a DVD player when actually a Blu-ray player or a high definition set-top box is needed to do so, and a further 27% believe that an HDTV shows everything in high definition... 30% of respondents (14.6 million people across Great Britain) think they can watch Blu-ray discs or high definition broadcasts at home, while only 58% of that group have an HDTV with a high definition source connected
FDD (the one which was the FDD), CD, Betacam, DAT, S/PDIF (what do you think "S" means?), Video8/Hi8, DVD, miniDV, HDV. All formats introduced by Sony (yes, ~half in collaboration with others, so? Do you think Bluray isn't?)...all avoided by you?
Also, the difference when going from B&W to colour is sometimes degrading...;)
(it certainly was in the C64 days, when the GFX actually looked better to me when viewed on my small B&W TV (so with 16 shades of gray), vs. the big color main TV. Or consider how Luna (WinXP theme) suddenly looks rather nice during logout dialog, when most of the UI becomes greyscale. That, and many TVs are set on ridiculous levels of saturation)
Off-world alright, supposedly. As for colonies - doesn't it, in some looser (or is that stricter?) sense, work out a bit like ant colony?
(google: heaven Borg cube;p...and even without the Borg Queen being a goddess (I knew it!) and undead drones integrated into the collective hive mind, our role is essentially akin to drones controlled by pheromones (also when myths are just myths, and religions - social constructs); but seriously, considering certain basics (zima comment, faster linking that way;p ) - one of the very few things able to make mythologies coherent, sensible is... that we're a means of sustenance, "food", or even recreational drug (and better to have them flavored in a preferable way, better for "souls" to be tasty); or sensory organs / equipment, at best)
I can understand "up to 11", but from where does "...to 14" come from?;) Oh, and you might care to know that, according to/. moderation messages, the above post was given 3 "up" and... 1 "down". Hm, around half of posters, hence probably also mods, from the US... around half of those at relatively greater unease of anything which could shatter the myths they cherish (last section)... yup, sort of expected rates of moderation.
(or they will keep getting worse until... hm, well, the last ex-empire had the decency to recognize it is bankrupt and dissolve itself mostly peacefully, despite having the capability to essentially keep the world hostage & to do massive destruction; is the US able to do the same?)
It's better than that though - not only you can assume that virtually all women had an early natural abortion (numbers comparable to the number of pregnancies / it mostly looks like a slightly weird period at most). They key thing: the organism of the mother tries to reject the parasite; it's only after the embryo takes over hormonal regulation that it's 'safe' - and no wonder why it evolved like that; if the defensive mechanisms of the embryo work well at that stage, the risk of other parts of genetic machinery being damaged is lessened & it (and its descendants) have slightly higher probability of being viable, successfully passing genes, and so on... but in itself it's not a "proof" that a rejected embryo was non-viable.
Which means such law would better prosecute (even better: constantly monitor hormones of...) at least every woman who gave birth (or at least 2+), just to be safe;>
Yes, sad... (go on, continue ignoring basic stats; or how random hull rupture can be easily seen as "as bad as it gets"; unless you worship also Comet... ups, that would be the evil Europeans)
It's not so much dynamics of any given group, behind all those great thing, but of rules and procedures. And their evolution of sorts, the decent ones having greater probability to be passed down (and tweaked) . Working them out took us a lot of time - something like 99% of existence of our species has been as small groups of hunter-gatherers (so on a fundamental level, that's our core and why we do "stupid" stuff)
Well, the limited scenarios I described take care of pedestrians. And I would bet that, if first on interstates, some people will engage in a "sport" of forcing autonomous cars into disengaging their auto mode... in which case there's one thing that should help, also on city streets - such cars will record their surroundings and how the accident actually happened.
People on ISS clearly organize their stuff pretty much on one plane, too (a concave one surrounding them a bit, but still one "surface"; like when we "surround" ourselves with monitors in many-monitor setups)
Also: stuck 100 slides and look through them at a light.
How one avoids instant vaporisation of any real world "cell" or ionization of most non-perfect vacuums, with such fluxes, would be in itself an... interesting dilemma.
A song of most movements of the 80s:p (and earlier)...not even too strictly about what Gorbachev did. Economic issues were pushing most uprisings behind the Iron Curtain (whatever ideologically-guided people like to believe, and would like us to believe).
Ordinary people simply wanted better pays in relation to rising prices; better benefits, more free days, keeping holiday company funds & assets; they were fed up with some crisis of the moment, when the system was having some hiccups in providing goods and services they were used to, at the cost (to them) they wanted; political postulates were mostly added by "intelligentsia", piggybacking on mass discontent...
...and yes, ironically enough, many former protesters sort of reversed their views, when they got what they "wanted" during political & economic transformation of the 90s - but by then, huge unprofitable workplaces were no longer kept alive by the state, protests directed at the latter couldn't do much.
At least, that's the story of my place (but occasional closer look at neighbors doesn't really challenge it). Also why in Belarus the opposition is so impotent, and why it should remain so for a year or two at least - so far, people at large are content from having bread (and circuses)... which looks like it might change in a year or two. Maybe.
But yes, the irony wasn't about their successes (just "Stalin the murderer" vs. actual demographics; likewise censorship vs. literacy). OTOH about that "free market" and one very rampant in this thread (I doubt there's any point in debunking it...) myth (really good one - similarly, looking just at cold demographic data vs. the "myth of past middle class glory"... how it works out pretty much exactly backwards to the cherished ideology, how "you can use the fact that people did not feel poor in the 1950s as an argument for a more radical egalitarianism than even most leftists would be willing to espouse"); or "land of opportunities" vs. how the US is at the bottom of developed countries in social mobility, how "American Dream" is apparently just another product to sell.
Cosmos / universe is quite... universal. Its small print ("excluding Earth") is not too bad in comparison to a word which basically means travel on stars (aeronaut / aeronautic means travel through air, not by air / in LEO), something which humans aren't likely to ever do (maybe as a funeral, as ashes...).
It's at odds with official criteria for astronaut wings, "height above 100km" (or 80, in places) - nothing there about getting closer to any star (heck, considering cycles of normal fluctuations of planetary orbits, it's unlikely that any of the astronauts were the closest homo sapiens sapiens to our nearest star)
Plus navigating, sailing by the stars - in a looser sense - is an ancient practice.
You almost say it, but it's worth remembering how Russia, basically just one short generation before WW2, was a sort of colony; a country in almost colonial dependency, at the least. Very backwards and impoverished place, generally.
All the more... impressive what they managed to do (among it one of the greatest ironies of history - how, despite all the victims, life expectancy in Soviet Union increased dramatically under Stalin; or another one: yes, censorship... but also the first literate generation). And were in the end decent enough to recognize they're broke; and dissolve the Union mostly peacefully... can we treat it as a given?

"High definition" has been a really moving target - that's how pre-WW2 405-line system was apparently described, for one ;p

Daimler might have better chances of making that work... (chances still being very nearly 0 of course)

Go through a list of cognitive biases / seeing people as rational agents doesn't get one far.
I would imagine it is rather easy, say, in places / lucrative centers of some cities where cars are hardly allowed...
Car makers might be too, it seems.
