"Watts make no sense"? How? They make perfect sense for someone's average energy output over a unit of time, which sort of happens with physical activities.
Many stories are exaggerated, but I'd be very surprised if this wasn't erring on the opposite side. The impact of humans in the Holocene is difficult to overestimate.
Capitalism doesn't work for several reasons, as demonstrated by history but no matter what the idealists like to keep trotting it out as a viable solution. Firstly, for capitalism to work - someone, anyone - needs to be some sort of enforcer - completely incompatible with the whole notion in the first place. Secondly, human nature (as it stands) is still very much tied to betterment of the self, and so ultimately being better than your fellow human will remain a thing until we are all programmed not to do so. Now, who is going to be our equal and yet do that fairly and without bias?
My understanding is that Juno was von Braun's design
You said
The first Americans in space went up on a derivative of the V2
But in reality, they went up on an Atlas. Atlas was most certainly not a von Braun design, and was definitely more advanced than Juno. I mean, von Braun was important to the US space program but lots of the good things he did involved clever use of equipment already in development by Americans, such as the F-1 engine on the Saturn V.
A better way to fix that is to leave gender, race, photo and name out of the application process, not that Rube Goldberg scheme. Feynman read applications this way, why can't we?
The fact that human drivers in the same situation could make a poor choice is actually irrelevant.
What is more relevant is that it's probably much better to never get yourself into a situation where you'd *have* to make that decision. Just because humans are careless on basis of comforting experience, will autonomous cars have to be like that as well and "drive themselves into a corner" from time to time?

I'm looking forward to running the strips!
Or science, because it's actually mathematics.
My x- wife bought one of these. Should I be concerned?
Great value and great for hauling dead bodies. No more bloody mess either. Leaving no trace of any corpse in your trunk!
Priceless.
"The laser is not that dangerous, it's not going to cut your finger off or anything crazy like that"
It takes something like 15 J per square centimeter or so to cause third-degree burns. How thin is the 2 W beam?
Why don't you just save us a lot of time and simply finish with "I'll never buy it anyway"?

Some prank apps would flip the Windows desktop upside down
Since recent versions of Windows can do that, do they qualify as prank apps, too? It makes too much sense now.
Considering that this sensor did *not* fail for like seven or eight thousand times before, you wouldn't think this would be a problem.

On the other, I am concerned about rushed deadlines
FCC is more to be blamed for that than Musk.

The point was about data record, wasn't it? Then this is a reasonable example of a good one (historically).
If androids dream of electric sheep, do iOSes dream of Slashdot women?

Because that's sexist and racist. Didn't you know?
Do you have evidence that Diversity Hires are lower skilled? If so please publish and allow for peer review.
If they're not, why are they called "diversity hires" instead of "hires"? Seeing as regular hiring already works off of skills.
They removed that feature, sadly.
Atlas a derivative of V2? Seriously?

Considering its similarity to a multistage missile...perhaps it did the right thing. ;)
When you believe in God, a baby comes out between the legs.
Is this the standard Catholic defense when caught with pants down and with a child? It doesn't seem very convincing.
You picked the highest estimate from your link instead of one of the lower ones
Falcon prices are *also* a high estimate for the price of future rocketry.
Especially if you're a pilot.
Technically, *everything* about cars is "tech".
There was nothing specifically about who will do it, though.
