We (in Seattle) have one airport within city limits (Boeing Field), several commercial float plane operations on local lakes plus the approach patterns for SeaTac airport and Renton Municipal overhead.
I think we can do without the airspace competition from unpiloted junk as well.
Apple builds its own hardware. If they want to secure boot it or lock you into their walled garden, that's their prerogative.
Microsoft doesn't. They are not telling you what you can or can't run. They are telling hardware vendors. Specifically ARM based systems. And they are doing so in a manner that will decrease the value of ARM based hardware.
You might think that Microsoft has created a Windows vs Linux (Android, whatever) distinction on ARM. But who is to say that Windows 9 will get a different boot key than Windows 8? And then again for Windows 10, etc. Microsoft can now jerk the ARM platform manufacturers around any way they want. Maybe even issue a service pack that needs a new boot key and brick all older hardware platforms overnight. The owners of these platforms won't be able to say, "Screw it. I'll just install Ubuntu." The resale value of that hardware will be zero.
You are confusing the IEEE with 'skilled in the art'.
They still have 'Standards' for calculating power system load flows that incorporate shortcuts created to simplify slide rule calculations. Despite the fact that proper admittance matrix techniques have been available since the days of FORTRAN and your iPhone can run rings around the mainframes we used to use for these.
Automation. Drafting isn't safe if you depend on your own reaction times and vigilance. But with automation, it should be safe for both cars and airplanes.
Besides, airplanes tend not to slam on their brakes like cars and trucks do.
Airbags are one option for a safety system for people who won't voluntarily put on seatbelts. The other option are those motorized seatbelts that put themselves on when you start the car.
Since seatbelt use is now mandatory, the airbag/auto seatbelt requirement should be dropped.
Airbags are useless at preventing occupant ejections anyway. The best system are those seatbelts that cinch themselves when the accelerometers detect a crash.
Some interesting problems with this article: It overlooks the issue of HFT trading that is designed to "gum up" the system. It also overlooks the problem of canceled trades and incomplete transactions. The proposed solution, a Tobin Tax on each trade would have little impact, as a significant amount of the HFT activity involves submitting trades with no intention of completing them. Hence, not subject to the tax. But then this is a solution I'd expect from a quant, who is in the business of generating this kind of activity.
A smart person once told me: If you want to stop progress on something (in this case, trading reform), don't fight it. Instead, volunteer to help. And then offer useless suggestions and advice.

What about ALW? Anthropic Lunar Warming.
Colleges take their drinking water from wells on campus? I doubt it. I call environmentalist FUD on this one.
Just watch the openings till you come out . . .
Long wait. Seattle hobos live down there.
Life has no rewind button.
Yes. But thanks to drugs, it has a fast forward button.
That's why the residents of Seattle love bus and traffic tunnels: Follow me now, biatch!

I bought my raffle ticket? Where's my post?
Who cares? Its not as if there are any significant players in the Internet business in California anyway.

ARM just got pwned.
x86: FOR NOW, Microsoft requires that secure boot can be user-disabled.
arm: Microsoft requires that secure boot cannot be user-disabled.
Smells like Intel vs ARM instead of Windows vs Linux. I wonder how this will play out in the halls of anti-trust?

Evans & Sutherland was building tactical displays for the defense department that did this in the 1970s and 1980s.

Old Beetles or new Beetles?
No problem. The correct location of the base will never be found.
All the domains are owned (on behalf of their customers) by GoDaddy anyway.

Better yet: Go back to open outcry trading.
An article from futuresindustry.org defending HFT? No conflict of interest there.
