You seem to think that you should be able to do whatever you want on a public road unless the authorities can scientifically prove, with some unreasonable amount of assurance, that you are impaired and they should be able to do it within a minute or so of being pulled over so it doesn't upset your complex social plans.
Sorry, the world doesn't work that way and won't ever. Cops have to use some judgement (and sometimes it will be poor judgement). Tests have to be reasonably accurate and repeatable, not perfect. Test values have to have some reasonable, if imperfect, upper limits (and your conjecture of the various BACs having no experimental backing are completely untrue - yes, they are lines drawn in a continuum and yes, some people will be caught in them and some people will escape their ramifacations, sucks to be alive, doesn't it?)
So get over it. Society says you don't drive with pretty much any level of alcohol on board. Don't like it, move to Peru or wherever they don't enforce driving regulations (or anything else for that matter). Go lobby for more 'progressive' legal alcohol levels.
Your friend with a chronically elevated BAC of 0.1 or greater is, by definition, an alcoholic. Yes, they can talk about the local sports team without slurring, they can even walk a nominally straight line. Can they handle two tons of steel, plastic and gasoline going 60 mph** under rapidly changing conditions. Probably not.
Want to play that particular lottery? I sure the hell don't.
Safe driving requires all manner of limitations to your person and lifestyle. You might have to wear your glasses. You might need to get some sleep. Perhaps you shouldn't be taking all of your OxyContin. You certainly shouldn't be on a three day meth bender and you shouldn't be under the influence of alcohol. Sorry if that ruins your day. Driving isn't a right.
* several hundreds of kg and a bunch of km/hr for you SI aficionados.
With the alcohol laws SO drastic today..the BAC level is now a low 0.08 in most states, as a grown man just having a couple glasses of wine with a meal out can get your dangerously close to the legal level,
True
when in reality you are just fine to drive.
False
The objective data is way against you. You might be OK to drive, you're probably moderately impaired. Now, you can argue that being tired, taking benadryl, being distracted or texting / whatever is just as bad and you are correct. But two wrongs don't make a right.
Society is trying to tell you that alcohol and automobiles are not a good mix. If you want two glasses of wine at dinner, fine. Either don't drive or wait several hours for the alcohol to clear off. Yes, it might change your lifestyle. Sorry. So did seatbelts.
It's pretty obvious what this has to be. The Protectors are building a ringworld (aka Niven Ring) and have installed the shadow-squares (or rectangles) first. We're seeing the periodic dimming as they pass in front of the star. When they finish the ring, the star will look constantly slightly dimmer (unless precession) from our angle and the variation will go a way.
Wrong. It's a Kempler Rosette. The Pierson Puppeteers got there first.
You're not going to win this one. From the nice Wikipedia article concerning the definition of a foot:
Since 1959, both units have been defined by international agreement as equivalent to 0.3048 meters exactly. In both systems, the foot comprises 12 inches and three feet compose a yard.
If that were even remotely true, Apple would send me (an you and ever other Slashdotter) an iPhone, iPad, iMac and for grins, a MacPro with matching MacBook pros in several configurations. It would not even touch their bottom line.
You don't get to be a big, profitable company by giving money away (unless it's to executives, that is completely different.
NOBODY should be permitted to assault another except under attack.
actually i disagree, i support EXISTING USA law that says you can shoot and kill without warning anyone that tries to enter your property (tresspass) I would actually sue this security guards for every cent they own, because they did not kill criminal tresspassers on spot.
You think the guards own the Tesla factory? Do try and keep up.
You don't shoot people for trespassing unless it's in your own house**. You don't need heavily armed guards. In fact, you don't want heavily armed guards because it is rather easy to make a fatal mistake. Bad juju, that.
But don't worry, I rather doubt Elon will hire you on for the security detail.
** And you live the following US states: Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas,Tennessee or Washington.
According TFA, ACE inhibitors, a very useful, very common and now very inexpensive medication came from the venom of the Brazilian somethingorother viper. Yes, it went through the period of time when it wasn't generic but once the general active structure was worked out, there was a time when there was the ACE inhibitor of the week club. The dozen or so competing drugs kept the prices sort of reasonable.
So yeah, Big Pharma gets it's cut, but for small molecules (as opposed to biologics which are antibodies which are much harder to manufacture*), once the structure gets out, it's pretty much all over for the original company. The point being that venoms are biologically interesting molecules. Nature has manufactured structures that do neat things to other cells (blow them up, gum up the power plant and a host of other mechanisms). Once we know the structure, we can tweak it. Protein chemistry has come to a point where determining the structure of a complex molecule is basically a PhD thesis. Then you can work on smaller molecules (easier to make) that can modulate the original enzyme. So a whole new class of venoms is a big deal.
* biologicals are now being manufactured by the generics (isn't progress wonderful). Big Pharma is fighting back by trying to get those manufacturers to go through the clinical trials showing safety and utility - a huge time and expense. The problem (from a libertarian point of view) is that Big Pharma has a couple of good points. Biologics aren't the 'same' molecule - they're close. But until we have a lot more experience with them, it is not unreasonable to do the clinical trials. The generic manufacturers, of course, have a different view.
When autonomous vehicles are less likely to kill me than one with a human driver, I will prefer the safer driver that also doesn't require a salary.
Right now, a 30 line Visual Basic program with a pseudo random number generator could at least match rush hour traffic in most US cities. We could do this next week.
Refinishing drywall is pretty trivial these days. Hell, you can buy a kit at your local hardware store, watch a video and fix it in an afternoon. The problem with panels is that they are never where the problem is.
Depends on how patient your are. A solar powered ion thruster and a couple of years can do it. That said, you probably wouldn't use the same tug for ISS related work and pulling down errant satellites. You would think carefully about which sats you wanted and work from there.
TFA goes on about putting magnets and RFID tags inside people as the state of the art. I'm sorry, something we do to our pets doesn't really get a 'hacking' imprimatur, much less 'high tech'.
Wake me up when somebody open sources the way to access human memory with a digital chip ('Microsofts in William Gibson's parlance'). Or making some drug or device that actually enhances the human condition. And no, splitting a tongue in half so you can move both muscles at the same time is not an 'enhancement'.
Pasteurizing milk literally kills it. Whole, raw milk is shelf-stable, and perfectly safe to consume. Left too long it simply turns into cheese. Once processed however, after a mere few days it grows highly toxic mold and fungus at a rate in direct proportion to the amount of processing (whole vs 2% vs skim). Interesting, no?
Pasteurizing milk wasn't done to piss goofball foodies off. It was done as a public health measure. Look up Listeria and see if it's 'perfectly safe'.
TL;DR - read the quote from the Wikipedia article:
The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says improperly handled raw milk is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalizations than any other food-borne disease outbreak, making it one of the world's most dangerous food products.[15][16] Diseases prevented by pasteurization can include tuberculosis, brucellosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and Q-fever; it also kills the harmful bacteria Salmonella, Listeria, Yersinia, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli O157:H7,[17][18] among others.
