Listen to fire department radio traffic in any medium to large city and you will undoubtedly hear calls for car fire on a regular basis. Most of those are the result of poorly maintained, older vehicles - fifteen year old cars that have never had any fuel lines inspected, much less replaced. A few accidents spark fires, but that isn't common. Newer vehicles, not so much.
Too early to tell if there is some inherent problem with the Tesla, but it certainly warrants an independent review.
There are lots of other low cost pixel editors that compete with Photoshop. Since Adobe's moron move to the "Creative Cloud" (which may represent a state of mind among Adobe executives rather than a description of the system which is simply Software As A Service) thousands of photographers have been ditching PS. Corel's Paintshop Pro, while commercial software is less expensive than PS. Paintshop even does layers, 16 bit and CMYK output.
The ACA was passed into law as a shell. It had very little useful details as to how it would actually work. Such details are still incomplete. So, programmatically, it's mostly a black box without very many useful outputs (and unknown inputs).
No possible way to make a functional distributed system out of this sort of nonsense. Not in 12 months. Not in 12 years. Hell, Medicare has run since 1964 and it still has similar problems.
And unions have unicorns. My God, we've just turned into North Korea *
* The US and North Korea are the only countries stuck on the ICD 9 (International Classification of Diseases). Everybody else is on 10. Google is planning on launching 22 next week.
Maybe no one notices because it doesn't work? Lots of people have been working on practical EMP weapons. Other than air burst nucs, nothing seems to be coming out of the research stage.
He kept baiting us by saying he taught O-Chem via synthesis of various drug compounds (LSD, MDMA, etc.).
Heh. I liked that part too. Unfortunately, you start with three tons of acetone and end up with 0.2 grams of cocaine.
But organic chemistry has been nothing more than the crunch course for pre meds. The way it's taught in most places it is just rote memorization. Lots of rote memorization. And med school is little more than that (other than gross anatomy which is rote memorization in a fog of wintergreen-flavored formaldehyde.)
Which is a shame because organic chemistry is interesting in it's own way. However, the intro courses are typically not designed to initiate some love of inquiry and reasoning - they're designed to see how much you can stuff in your brain for a couple of weeks. The end result is lots of doctors who remember broad swathes of oft time trivial facts, but can't figure out basic statistics to save somebody's life.
it's not automatically a Big Brand New Development just because MIT strapped a 12V square to an old watch band and hooked it up to some temperature sensors.
Sometimes it does seem like Slashdot simply publishes the MIT newsfeed, without the slightest skepticism.
Mostimes it does seem like Slashdot simply publishes ANY newsfeed, without the slightest skepticism.
At least he isn't building weird 'yachts' or running around in his own personal 767. This doesn't sound like particularly good science, but it is a testable hypothesis.
It's the modern thing to do after the hookers and blow get a little old.
I'll trade $20k in vehicle damages against $200k in human damages any day. Newer cars are pretty impressive in moderate speed accidents. People walk out of wrecks that would have mangled bodies in the 1970s and before. You can certainly kill yourself in a car wreck. You just have to work a lot harder.

What do you want? Something engraved in stone tablets? Gold Tablets? Carefully painted in whole wheat linguini?
Anything not coming directly from your deity of choice is going to be a rationalization. Get used to it.

"deviated download solution"?
Mind sharing a link with us?

Radio? How old are you?
No, you should simply make sure you have an adequate supply of tin foil.
Kids these days.....
We wouldn't feel threatened at all. We'd just call it 'target practice'.

Truly the Chuck Norris of the aircraft world.
Shoot everybody. Let God sort it out.

I wonder what the Doppler shift would be like? Doing CW on LEO satellites can be challenging because of this.

That whooshing sound is not Einstein's hair dryer....
Einsteins' sartorial abilities seemed rather sub par....
Multiplication or complex conjugate?
Wrong organ. Although the mistake is understandable.

That's nice. Makes sense. Perfectly reasonable.
Now, turn into a committee.
They do what they do because they think it's the right thing.
Now that is an interesting take on things.
Worried about those Canadians again, eh?
I'm sure the pizza is better in DC or NYC.
Well, at least in NYC.
