Oh give it up, I think you might have some issues along these lines.
Even the Coast Guard figured it out a while back. It used to be they wouldn't rescue animals off boats. Then people stayed with the animals and the CG got some bad press. Now they'll winch off dogs and cats along with people.
Funny, more people would rather rescue animals than fellow humans. Just what does that say about our species?
Nah, the commercials will be 60 second clips of whatever is located at nose height at PetsMart. Woofer goes with owner to store, recalls the images flickering within its canine brain. This triggers a Pavlovian reflex, Woofer grabs the chewy thing and promptly drools on it (You drool on it, you buy it)
Now this one is something that could easily fall into Hanlon's / Heinlein's Razor but it does seem a bit like somebody really favors the politicians these days.
I think Carl Sagan was wrong. The Universe is really out to get us.
Because if doctors have it then everyone has it -- in the above scenario, a patient has epilepsy but essentially doesn't want the government (DMV in this instance) to see that.
- First of all, he is committing a crime. And anyone knowingly abetting that is in some legal jeapordy (may not be big). - Secondly, as soon as the doctor puts it on the chart, it gets stuck in the database. Then the insurer and anyone else who gets to see the database (? DMV) gets to see the diagnosis. It's like the Internet - once it's out there, the data''s not coming back. Access to the Big Database in the Sky isn't going to be hard to get, no matter what anyone says.
So, if you have any medical secrets, be sure not to tell anyone. But don't get mad when some doctor prescribes another medication that interacts with your epilepsy drug and puts you in a coma (and those drugs tend to interact with lots of other drugs).
That's OK. I've seen much the same scenario repeated on an Alaska Boeing 737. They couldn't 'get the part to fix the problem' despite the fact that you can pretty much see the Boeing Renton plant (where they build 737's) from the SEATAC terminal windows.
First of all, it doesn't resequence DNA (if that is really a valid concept). It just ADDS a small bit of DNA into the genome.
Just like viruses have been doing since, well, since there were viruses. But yes, it's potentially scary. So are nuclear weapons, particle beam accelerators and most politicians.
Funny, I just flew on a United Express flight run by Republic. It was an Embraer (a seemingly excitable regional jet) and we were trying to land at Denver International during it's usual afternoon bout with thunderstorms and tornadoes. The pilots did a really nice job of dodging everything and landing in a crosswind that was probably at the upper edge of the plane's capabilities.
I think most of the passengers were about to jump out through the windows but I thought they did a great job.
Because that's what pilots of large, complicated planes do. You have to do a lot of things to land a plane. Automating some helps.
It appears that the big problem is that he pilots were not sure exactly what the controls would do under the specific situation they were in.
Of course, we have to wait months before the NTSB report comes up, but it is shaping up that a big problem was an unstablized approach - basically attempting to land when a number of conditions were not appropriate for a safe landing. They had ample opportunity to fix the problem, but apparently didn't realize they had a problem (until it was way too late).
You can fly 777 in a startling number of conditions and using a variety of approaches (fully auto to fully manual). But you have to understand exactly what it is that you are doing. It looks like the pilots didn't quite understand how everything hooked together and, on top of failing to abort the landing early on they misunderstood how the plane would react in the configuration they set it to. At about 300 feet.
You are confusing current drones with completely autonomous drones - which don't yet exist.
Yes, you have to train the drone pilots. Just because they can play an FPS in their sleep doesn't get them away from practicing.
One day we MIGHT have autonomous air superiority drones - right now we don't have them. Ergo, we can't replace the manned air superiority fighters just yet.
Can we do that eventually and cheaper than the F-35? More than likely. Can we create air superiority fighters that are 90% as effective as the F-35 and 30% of the price tomorrow? Sure we can.
Not exactly. It's not like people with heart and lung disease just keel over at age 55. They usually have a long, slow decline in health that is punctuated by expensive visits to some aspect of the healthcare system or other. And why pick on heart and lung disease? That's what MOST smokers die from. Lung cancer, although way more common in smokers than non smokers isn't what gets most puffers. And even lung cancer isn't a rapid roll off the carpet. Chemotherapy, surgery and supportive care still is pretty expensive.
So, no, sorry. Giving everyone a couple of packs of cigs per day isn't going to decrease health care expenses.
Given how many rounds are expended and how many people are involved, you could probably make a point that a rifle range is one of the safest places to be. No human endeavor is entirely safe. Hell, I spent this weekend pulling fish hooks out of various aspects of peoples anatomy and I've flown people to Seattle with fish hooks embedded in the eye.
Careful out there, something is liable to get you.
Yes, the Egyptian military is unusual is that they are not an obvious kleptocracy like most other military juntas. I'm sure that there are senior military members, however, who are economically and politically benefiting from the status quo, but mostly they seem to want to hold on to their position as a mostly secular, stabilizing influence. It's not like they did such a great job before Mosari, however to be fair, it's not clear that anyone could do a whole lot better.
Even without the polarizing aspects of the current Islamic Mess, Egypt is in a tough position: A burgeoning population, poor resource base and the most screwed up political arena on the planet. You know your in trouble when your historical enemy (Israel) is the one country that is actively working to help stabilize day to day issues. Purely enlightened self interest, of course, but still....
Along with using both exits, the simple expedient of allowing passengers without large carryons (so everything fits under the seat) to board early has significantly reduced board times.
My next suggestion: Anyone with 'carry on' weighing more than 20 kg gets to fly in the cargo hold - along with the carry on.
I guess the CCS assumes life will be a multiple choice menu made up of animated icons. If you don't fit one of the options offered, you're screwed (like a Slashdot poll).
And just like a Slashdot poll, if you are using it do to any real work, you're insane.

What problem are they trying to solve?
You have some money. They want it.
You all really should loosen the Velcro on your shiny caps. It's cutting off circulation.

Oopsie.
Did...she just list PRISM as an accomplishment on her resume?
Stunning.
No silly. PRISM is NSA. Janet is DHS. Get your TLA's straight.
Where are the pictures? (even if one pixel wide)
Here.
Wrong body part, methinks.
An instructional video.

Like sheep, it's the clever ones you have to look out for.
I sort of want to know what this is about. But most of me says 'don't go there''.
