Do you even live here? Anyone who has remotely paid any attention to it in the last 10 years by reading local (small) newspapers knew as soon as the proposal went through that this whole thing was
1) totally unneccessary; who the hell wants to go from LA to Fresno? 2) zero interest from the public, meaning it will not attract enough riders 3) benefit politicians and the well-connected: such as, husband of Diane Feinstein (the infamous senator) - who won a $1 billion contract
Exactly. Now that a good protocol has been established, it should be relatively simple to shut down the mystical kooks once and for all. Or validate them.
Run the experiment under intense laser and observe the atoms with your eyeballs. Then run it again with same intensity laser, but do not observe it, don't even record it for future use. Compare the amount of tunneling for both.
The problem so far as I can see has been that quantum physicists didn't say "shooting photons on an experiment changes the results", which is what most people are thinking. They said "observing" it changes the results. But they're are not the same thing.
20 round standard mag and modern as all hell. The small caliber/high velocity ammo (same principle as the 5.56 AR rifles) hits just as hard if not harder than.45 ACP/9mm/whatever if you take into account that the military cannot use hollowpoints.
You didn't mention the biggest one: hold the phone vertically while filming so the viewers sees a vertical video with lots of empty space to the left and right. This is a must.
Cars and airplanes are big and expensive they're easy for gov't to control. You can't hide a Buick or Cessna in your backpack and stealth fly them.
Drones are too cheap and small. Mandatory registration and regulation probably isn't going to work well.
Most effective way to control idiots flying drones near airports would be to shoot them down. But currently we don't have a good technology to do this. Shooting at it with firearms or RF jamming are not good ideas due to collateral damage they cause.
I'm thinking some enterprising guys could make an anti-drone drone for this. You make a specialized drone that detects another drone flying, flies to it and attaches itself to the target via a net or cables and thus bring it down safely.
Also the Roman circus was horse racing oval track, nothing like our circus with clowns and trapeze artists etc. When you say "bread and circuses" I bet a lot of people are thinking about clowns.
Yeah, pretty much. Computer sorts through a massive data set, compiled and fed to it in a convenient format by... humans.
I would be more impressed if they gave the computer eyes and it scanned people walking around and was able to spot some behavior that humans missed. But of course machine vision being what it is currently, computer might not even be able to tell a human apart from a squirrel.
But anyways... sounds like what you need is full smartphone capability (including ability for you to write your own apps) PLUS roomba's self-mobility and self-charging capability. Have you tried welding an iPhone to a roomba?
Our bodies evolved over millions of years to crave the smell, taste, and texture of COOKED meat?
Not millions, but easily tens of thousands. Which is enough to to develop an aversion or affinity to a certain kind of smell.
Try this test. Take a chunk of raw beef, slice it in half and cook one of them on an open fire (in an appetizing way so that you'd wanna eat it... don't burn it). Leave the other half raw. Present both halves to a dog and see which one it goes for first. Now repeat this test on a tiger or some other non-domesticated carnivore.
I'll bet you the dog goes for the cooked meat and the tiger goes for the raw meat.
Is painting art? Well, when painting a house, typically not.
Again, English nebulosity (is that a word?) is at play here. Painting your house walls with Home Depot products is a completely different concept from an oil painting or watercolor on a canvas, yet English uses the same word for both. In Korean there are separate words for artistic painting and coloring your house with Home Depot stuff.
I'm not criticizing English btw, the loose nature of English allows for a rich literary culture and I think Shakespeare would've been frustrated had he been born Korean. On the other hand, having a more specific language can be advantageous at times.
"art" could mean just about anything in English, so yes video games can be art.
Other languages are different. For example in Korean, art means painting/drawing/sculpture. Music is not art, it's music. So for Koreans, video games are not art.
It says in TFA they climbed a fence marked "private property" in order to take the pictures. It's hard to climb a fence while carrying a Jeep. Ergo the Jeep was most likely parked outside the grounds of the factory.
No really, it's not just an advertising gimmick. I recently switched to Sprint and got a new iphone. Whenever I talk to another person with a Sprint iphone, the call quality is phenomenal. I really feel like I can hear a pin drop.
I'm sorry but EPA not having enough money is bullshit. They "only" have enough money to test 20% of new cars, therefore Volkswagon was able to cheat, so give us more money?
IRS tests (audits) less than one percent of income tax returns. Yet tax compliance is quite high in the United States, relatively to other countries. Why is that? Because IRS has teeth and people know if you get caught flagrantly cheating on your taxes, they can seize your bank accounts and your house and put you in jail.
Testing 20% is more than enough, you just gotta give EPA some teeth. Start by putting VW CEO in jail and seizing $8 billion from their bank account. That's still less than a year worth of profit for them, it won't make them go out of business. But it's enough that people will get the message quick.
Car companies have brazenly cheated emissions because the price of getting caught (nobody goes to prison, a few million dollars in fines) was far less than the money saved by cheating on emissions. If the price goes up, the equation changes.
Because Australians are sexy, while Canadians and Poles are not. Ever watch Crocodile Dundee? Ok now how about.... erm.... (can't think of one single famous Canadian or Polish movie)

You are free to say whatever you want. However the gov't has unlimited moderation points and can put you at -1.

Yes I know they're working on cure for cancer, but I have this sneaking suspicion that these guys are trying to live forever, like Ray Kurzweil.
Of course curing cancer could be just step 1 of their master program.

wtf, you just equated coding with homelessness, suicide and prison.
On second thought, there's some merit to the comparison. I've done all four of the above.
due to their love of robots, low birthrate, and lack of young people to make nurses out of.

Yeah Krebs may be a highly skilled cybersecurity expert, but he might want to think about learning physical security as well.
I suggest starting with basic firearms training, and eventually graduate to multiplayer Call of Duty.

Maybe they were talking about the original Jersey in Europe, not New Jersey.
Unless of course the idiot who wrote the article assumes everyone is familiar with a trash MTV reality show.

DevOps is like SpecOps for IT guys, you know the elite operators that played lots of Call of Duty.
From TFA: "engineered a piece of DNA that - when packaged inside inactive virus shells and injected..."
I swear the scientists said almost the exact same thing in the movie "I am Legend"... and it caused the zombie apocalypse.
you can hear a pin drop.

there's no legitimate reason that they can't make a 4K rift with all the sensors they have, sell it for $200-$250, and still make a profit.
You do realize that if they made it 4k, you would need a $1500 video card just to be able to use it?
Even the current specs require a pretty damn beefy graphic card.

Chinese Communist Party recently implemented a people "rating" system similar to this:

Did Yelp just get bought out by China?
