Exactly. I would blame the failing public education system more than anything else.
Party affiliations come and go. It wasn't that long ago (in the grand scheme of things) that religious zealots were largely Democrats. Sometime in the 50s - 60s the allegiance shifted.
Another likely factor is the lowering of IQ. If societal conditions are such that people of low intelligence breed a lot more than those with high IQ -- i.e. selective pressure in favor of lower IQ -- what could possibly be the outcome? This btw is the exact opposite of what happened to Ashekani jews during the middle ages.
Define "surveillance." The drones will have to have cameras running in order to navigate, and the corporations are going to want to save the feed.
They could define surveillance as when they save the feed, as you mentioned.
I would actually go further and say surveillance is when camera data is transmitted to base and/or saved to onboard storage. That way real-time monitoring is also prevented. Cameras should be for drone self-navigation purposes only.
Not a fine, pulling the corporation's FAA license to fly drones if they violate regulations.
Do you see Delta or United not caring about FAA regulations? Do they simply pay a fine out of their profits and consider that a cost of doing business? No. Because getting their license revoked means they have no business.
Doesn't have to be a law, FAA regulation stating "Drones flying within X distance of residences cannot do surveillance and must be for delivery only" would suffice.
It can be done in 2018 if you had ~$10 billion and you're willing to launch without "man-rating" certification of your booster.
Falcon Heavy is coming along nicely and they could probably do a launch in 4 years if you prodded Elon with a few billion dollars. Throw another $5 billion or so for the spacecraft/lander/habitat and you could have one that will theoretically work (even if unproven).
"Canadian technology!" is going down the tubes now that Blackberry has failed. But this can put Canada back in the lead as the global technology powerhouse.
Don't look to the Americans. All they care about is making a quick buck. Their best and brightest minds are busy at work trying to figure out how to get more people to click on website ads, or how to make portable electronic gadgets a "magical experience".
No, subsidizing would mean Pentagon gave them money to make the film. In reality what they're doing is giving them access to the military's planes/ships for filming.
You could argue that it amounts to the same thing, since this saves the studio money by not having to rent their own plane or make mockups. And you would've had a good point... 20 years ago. Nowadays they can just CGI pretty much anything for the same price or less of sending the cast and crew to the military location, setting up shop, etc.
Dark Lord of the internet would mean he has immense powers, like being able to silence anyone by remotely rooting their computer and choking their network interface... while saying things like, "I find your lack of faith disturbing. And commanding a fleet of zombie botnets that can DDOS large corporate networks.
This guy is just a bait-and-switch con man like any other before him that have existed throughout history. He just scaled it up a notch by using internet spam techniques and getting people's credit cards.
Yeah it probably will go nowhere. But maybe if they can get it working, it could conceivably replace touchscreens at ATMs and booths that users interface with for a short amount of time doing simple stuff like selecting YES or NO.
I predict the mouse and keyboard will never be replaced for any serious work until direct brain implants can point the cursor precisely where the user is thinking.
Yes it was very good, Krebs writes well and he seems to know his stuff.
That being said, was it really that easy? His steps to finding the perpetrator was:
-Scan underground sites that sell stolen credit cards -Do a small buy to get a sample -Found cards that matched the ones stolen from Target -Dig through various forum/social network archives to see if any matched the owner of the underground site (from step #1) -Contact the perp to see if he makes any incriminating statements (which he did by offering $10k bribe)
The perp may be an uber elite hacker, but he's very noob when it comes to hiding his tracks.
Loose tolerances of internal parts, usually only specified if manufacturing is really crappy. However Kalashnikov did this on purpose -- even though Russia had decent manufacturing capabilities -- knowing that this will lead to much greater reliability in the presence of dirt. American guns such as AR-15s are built to much more precise tolerances, and while they are more accurate than the AK, they are much less tolerant of sand/dirt/grime/powder residue. The AK's reliability is legendary.
"Money talks, bullshit walks" is exactly right. We just differ on which we think is bullshit. Time will sort that out.
You go ahead and buy all the bitcoins you possibly can and hold on to it. I'll just keep my money in stocks and real estate. Come back in 2 years and let's see where we stand.
Actually, I think it would be best to just get rid of Congress completely.
It's totally non-functional due to arcane rules and inherently undemocratic since elitist senators/representatives do whatever they want. Let the voters vote directly for the laws they want. True democracy, not this "representative republic" crap.
And they launched Challenger when the solid-fuel booster O-rings were too cold to seat properly, over the objections of the engineers.
That's true, but what's even sadder is that those damn O-rings should've never even been there in the first place. The SRBs were meant to be a one piece monolithic design. However it was changed into a segmented multi piece O-ring design because pork had to be provided to Morton Thiokol at the insistence of the senator from Utah, who held the purse strings. (Thiokol, being in Utah, cannot ship a large one piece by ocean and could only build segmented ones shipped by rail)
The lesson here is, do not let managers into your project who have their own agendas that conflict with the main project's mission.
and the tires aren't legos, and the gauges, and the steering wheel, etc.... so what? The point is, if you like Legos, then this is cool. People build cool things.
reminds me, I would like to print new balls for my dog.
We had him neutered when we first got him, but after a year of living with him, we love him so much that I'm regretting the decision. I want more puppies just like him so that when he dies, we'll have his offspring to keep us company.

no, this is what you get when you put a USB port on a frigging ATM. Whose bright idea was that anyways?

Yes but if that's the case they don't even have to crack the encryption, they've already got the PIN for 50% of the cards!
50% of 4 million cards (or whatever the number was) aught to be more than enough for anybody.

are you sure those people aren't searching for jewels or JFK assassin killers?
lemme guess, they want the Gold iphone right?

Obamacare is easy to say and remember. Why not use it?
Star Wars is easy to say and remember, so it stuck. Hardly anyone ever calls it Strategic Defense Initiative anymore.
