This. The effect being analyzed is that of the contracting body cross section contribution to the propulsion provided by the expelled water. Thrust provided by a jet of water is already well understood, as this is already available on boats and other watercraft.
Remember: When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
Sending anything via the US mai where the legality might even be questionable is opening yourself up to having postal regs heaped on top of everything else.
Screw them. Ship it UPS/FedEx. If the customer complains, its almost certainly a sting operation.
When you hit something that fast the behavior of metals changes.
Same principle applies to conventional armor piercing warheads. The difference is that the final kinetic energy doesn't have to be provided at launch time. It is provided by a shaped charge behind a metal slug which is detonated by proximity (usually a contact fuse placed ahead of the charge) to the armor. This is old technology, dating back to WWII.
The benefits of rail guns and lasers involve their short flight time. They reduce aiming problems, where the target moves some distance after the 'projectile' is fired. Also, the target has less time to detect the incomming warhead and deploy countermeasures or evade.
... is to do what the aviation industry has moved to. Jet engines are high maintenance, high capital cost pieces of equipment upon which serious revenude depends. So the engine manufacturers offer what is essentially a performance guarantee for a fixed fee. If it breaks, they come out and fix it or replace it. Out of their pocket and within a contracted time. The cost to the operator is somewhat higher, but the risk is reduced. As a result, many engines are equipped with ACARS to report impending problems to the factory maintenance department while still in flight. So they can meet the plane at its destination with repair parts.
So, do the same for farm equipment. Your John Deere harvester breaks down. You have a contract with John Deere to either get it fixed within a defined time frame or they bring out a loaner. Maintenance is no longer your problem.
The problem of over dependance on automation eroding piloting skill has already been addressed in the flying biz. Read about Children of the Magenta Line.
Once people give up hands-on driving experience, expect a rapid descent into complete dependence on the AI. At which time it would be better to take the steering wheel away and admit to ourselves that everyone in the car is a passenger. Even seeing a Zipcar coming down the road is enough to strike fear into the heart of the experienced driver. Here comes someone who thinks they can keep up their skill level by borrowing a car a couple of times a month.
No, you do the versioning because, professionalism.
And because its easier to figure out earlier/later releases than trying to remember if Jack Daniels > Captain Morrigan. And one can more easily deduce that Perl 5.10.1 to 5.12.2 is a relatively minor change compared to the jump to Perl 6.
It smacks far too much of genetic engineering of humans,
But then selecting a spouse* for traits like appearance and high intelligence could be considered to be genetic engineering as well. Just like picking beta matched transistors from a production run.

Its an order requesting that you do something. I read it, but by the time I made it back to the office, I forgot what it said. Or I misread it. "Ship the evidence to the feds." Damn! I thought it said, "Rip the evidence to shreds."
The "certification industry" as you call it is based on a history much older than industry
Not really. People have been learning from elders or through apprenticeship for far longer than universities have been handing out degrees in education. Possibly longer than universities have existed. Where did Plato earn his teaching certificate?
Accreditation is about standards for an institution of higher learning.
Yes, but I was addressing teaching certification (of individuals). Which provides a barrier to entry into the education industry (albeit a pretty low one). But once people have their certificate and a job at the local high school, the union fights any further quality control measures. Its all about seniority and tenure.

If the first procedure wasn't research, then a second one will be done because the first 'transplant' didn't take. That happens from time to time.

Nope. Socks are the larval stage of coathangers.

Given their predilection for confiscating pocket knives and spying on all communications, the end goal will be "sheeple".

The people who had the letter shown to them and their legal team would be put under more extra special top secret surveillance.
Double secret probation.
Any member of the public who linked, hosted or commented on the story would be under surveillance.

artificial neural networks are nothing like what the biological brain does.
