Would current infrastructure even be able to handle the power load? I'm talking 'in the middle of nowhere' infrastructure.
Even in the middle of somewhere, the infrastructure is currently inadequate. California has rolling blackouts during peak load times not because consumption exceeds production, but because consumption approaches infrastructure capacity.
Owners should have complete control of their software/hardware even if it is a car.
Of course they should. Also, pilots should be free to tinker with the flight control software in the airplanes they fly. Personal freedom should always trump public safety.
Crashmarik should have appended "at the end of the last ice age" to his comment to avoid the flood of nasty responses from global warming advocates. At least, I'm guessing that's what he meant.
Elizabeth Holmes and Ramesh Balwani have been indicted for conspiracy to commit wire fraud against investors, conspiracy to commit wire fraud against doctors and patients, plus 9 additional counts of wire fraud. They are both facing serious prison time.
That demand has already been met when software is released, and is out of the equation.
But that doesn't stop other demands for which there is a limited supply.
Only because people are dumb enough to accept that. Software which automates labor necessarily keeps on being in demand, the authors are just too dim to get paid for it more than once.
...which is why software vendors are so eager to move to a subscription model, where the customers never stop paying and yet never own what they're paying for.
OK: "While it is true (via Galilean relativity) that a head-on crash between two vehicles traveling at 50 mph is equivalent to a moving vehicle running into a stationary one at 100 mph, it is clear from basic Newtonian Physics that if the stationary vehicle is replaced with a solid wall or other stationary near-immovable object such as a bridge abutment, then the equivalent collision is one in which the moving vehicle is only traveling at 50 mph."
If you believe that a mother wouldn't be upset about her daughter being murdered by a narcissistic asshole because it sparked "valuable discussions and debate", then you're either a sociopath or an utter moron.
What is clear in the linked article, is that a collision between two cars is not similar to a collision between a car and an immovable solid object such as a wall or bridge abutment.
Congratulations on not being your grandmother; I'm not your grandmother either.
I'm guessing you actually own a few 3-way lamps and just don't know it -- the majority of table and floor lamps available for purchase have 3-way fixtures, but you can put a single-wattage bulb in them and won't notice anything out of the ordinary. At any rate, your use case isn't everyone's use case, and those whose use cases are different from yours probably aren't your grandmother.
I don't know how they conduct primary elections in your state, but where I live they don't hold separate elections for the different political parties. A single election is held, where the ballot you're given is dependent upon your party affiliation. At any rate, your party affiliation (or lack of same) is a matter of public record in the first place.
But to say that President Trump was the first politician to deploy the term would itself be, well, "fake news".
On 8 December 2016, Hillary Clinton made a speech in which she mentioned "the epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year."
Think about it. If the batteries are depleted from 2 months of trying to keep critical components warm enough to survive, where would the power to run the wiper motors come from?
My point was that it doesn't require a desktop, or even a laptop, but instead an easily portable computing device.
Well, TFA really didn't have much to say about the computer other than "high powered" (which I took to imply not all that small/lightweight) and "moon pie-shaped (which I thought was an odd way to characterize a squat cylinder). And "easily portable" is in the eye of the beholder - the early VHS camcorders came with a large, heavy battery pack that the user carried by a shoulder strap, but we're considered easily portable at the time. Ditto for the first portable computers like the Compaq "luggable". Guess we'll find out eventually.
In the recent months, many branches of the military have been criticized for insensitive tweets.
many —adjective constituting or forming a large number; numerous: many people.
Let's see now. . . Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. Oh yeah, and Coast Guard. If you want hyperbole, why not go for "innumerable", "myriad", or "countless"?

6.674184×10^-11 and 6.674484×10^-11
This kind of cryptic number stuff isn't suitable for a mainstream news site like this.
Those are not as accurate as they are precise. If they were, they would be identical.
Must be an American thing, like lightbulbs with a screw fitting instead of a bayonet fitting - which I'd never seen before my mid-20s.
Odd; the European E14 base sure looks like it has a screw fitting.

Please show me where you see such a statement.

Great. Now look up the prices of 3-way LED bulbs.

Voting history = whether you cast a ballot. Voting history != who you voted for.
Being upset by this is like being upset that telephone books are published.
BBC tells an interesting story.

No windshield wipers on the solar panels?
WTF NASA!

Teading compehension fail. They're not limiting the watching of films per day; they're limitin the number of films available to choose from.

It's exciting to see another computer independent headset coming out this year
Apparently it's so exciting that it was easy to miss this in TFS: It includes a high-powered, moon pie-shaped computer called the Lightpack.
WTF? Here I was thinking that "species" referred to living things. I.e. homo sapiens is one species of hominid.
Quartz sand – no matter how pristine – is just fucking sand.
You're trying too hard.
Species
noun
a class of individuals having some common characteristics or qualities; distinct sort or kind.
Don't forget Space Force!
LOL. I don't think that one's up and running quite yet.

And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ...
Back in the 60's there was this one guy, Walter Cronkite (google him) something like 90% of Americans believed it when he said anything.
He retired mostly because he started feeling like he was the ONLY Journalist who reported the News, without distorting it.
Hmm. Google cronkite stalemate. His editorializing single-handedly turned the tide of American public opinion against the Vietnam War.
Here's some non-fake news: humans are more like Ferengis than Vulcans.
I agree. Vulcan aren't like Ferengis at all.
