Is that they adjust speed limits accordingly. After all if Ford sees the 90th quintile regularly exceeding posted speed limits maybe they could put some pressure on the NHTSA and the Federal Government to stop dicking with speed limits on highways.
Many of our speed limits are set artificially low. The reasons for this are many, including of course ticket revenue and ostensibly 'safety'.
But cars today are a very far cry from cars that were around back then. Think for a moment, cars now have ABS, passive restraint, traction control, and many have semi-autonomous control of breaking and even steering. So by that argument speed limits should go up.
Add to this - I remember when speed limits in urban areas in the late 1960's and early 1970's were 70MPH.
Puzzle me this though - why is it in Germany where much of the Autobahn has now maximum speed limit the highway deaths are lower than in the United States where we have these artificially low speed limits? Could it be it costs around $2,000 in Germany to get a license?
It's a shame. I would imagine that's all insured and such. But they're going to need cleanup supplies, etc. Just go hit their amazon page to donate those.
That my freshman reading list for high school included books such as:
Brave New World, Black Like Me, A Kiss Before Dying, 1984, Animal Farm, etc. Yes, a fairly subversive Catholic high school. Then of course during my years there we read the Greek Tragedies, one that stands out is Lysistrata, then of course The Hobbit, The Canterbury Tales, and Beowulf. Yes, read them.
Solves the problem. While the sun is shining just dump the excess current into a load resistor or even a storage array. Then tell said electric utility to go pound sand. Problem solved.
Why UPS nickname is Shit Wrapped in Chiffon. They're awful. I've ordered items outside holiday times to find that they'd say an item was delivered and it wasn't, etc.
If i must get a package or receive one I cannot stress this enough, the United Stats Postal Service does a far better job of it. You can print the postage at home, they GIVE you the Priority mail 3 day boxes and they'll even pickup your packages to go out.
All my amazon purchases went USPS - and all got there PRIOR to the 24th. In fact I had shipped a package from Providence, RI to northeast NC on the 19th of this month and it got there before the 24th! If you have to ship, USPS is the deal! I use the medium shipping box, it's $11.30 to ship. How much would UPS charge for a similar? $12.75 and they won't pick it up from a residence. Oh and USPS - for the $11.30 you get the full tracking.
But this is good news. We can in fact teach the human immune cells to recognize the threats. In fact it already does, it's why a lot of cancers pop up later in life. But if we bolster the immune system we could see cancer eradicated.
Agree completely. You must appear as though you are a local candidate. I did this a number of years ago when I was job hunting in the Atlanta area. Picked up a Google voice number in the 404 NPA.
Where all organizations are going to have to install charging stations. And the rate around here in 14 cents per kWh - so let's say you're in an office 8 hours a day, that would come out to $1.12 a day, or $5.60 a week, or a total of $291.20 per year to keep your car plugged in 8 hours a day for 5 days a week.
I say put them in supermarkets and charge a couple bucks to charge, put em' in places of business and charge what I showed above. Electric cars would be all over the place.
They're huge for one. They need to figure out how to scale them down a bit. Second, those flimsy cords are going to be an issue over time. With limited regular use I can see them breaking requiring a service interval.
Is that computer hardware has become much more reliable over time. In fact some business now waits 3 or so years before refreshing hardware. And personal is anywhere from that 3 to 5 years range.
But vendors want to keep pushing, pushing, pushing. It's to the point where you can't avoid Microsoft's little tablet experiment. But I already know what I'm moving to next. System76 here I come! No more Windows that's for sure.
Part of the problem is that Oracle is pretty prevalent in the commercial world - not so much in the State or Federal government spheres. And big business throws huge amounts of cash at projects like this so eventually they get a product.
Now having worked in one state office that DID use Oracle it was just a stand-alone database. That was it, nothing more extensive than that.
But in another state office there wasn't a shred of Oracle in it. All open source - standard LAMP suite. And it didn't break. Imagine that.
Actually it's not Russia per se. Think for a moment who builds/built all the gee whiz hardware that got us to the moon. They were private corporations. And they can pretty much sell to whoever they please and welcome all highest bidders. It's been going on since the beginning of the 20th century. Do I have to mention IBM who was one of the prime contractors in Apollo - they who history included selling tabulating machinery to the Nazi's in World War II while also playing the U.S. side selling early tube based computers to the U.S.
Plus the U.S. is heavily involved in the International Space Station and in another project which I find more interesting and while terrestrial it's basis is in the stars. It's the ITER project. The U.S. is one of the sponsors of that project too. Fusion my friend - or commercial fusion.
The Apollo program was an interesting beast. It coupled a quasi government agency up with private industry to produce the hardware and software necessary to land us on the Moon and return us safely. A lot of people don't realize that the Apollo program had pieces in almost every single state in the union. My uncle worked designing the seals for the spacecraft and space suits here in Rhode Island.
And inside every State House in the Union there's a piece of Moon rock. Yeah, that's where they went.
Um, where are we Americans you ask? We've had at least four rovers rolling around on Mars, the most recent is Curiosity and she's nuclear which means her total sols on Mars will be measured in YEARS.
And tell me, who built and launched the Voyager and Pioneer platforms? Some of which are now at the edge of the solar system.
And who landed SEVERAL men on the Moon? Yeah, we did, in the 1960's and 1970's. Nice to see that China and India are playing catchup now. And I have to wonder, if we got a look at the avionics on the Chinese and Indian platforms I'd bet we find a whole bunch of U.S. originated technology in there.
Well, their god may have promised never to use floods again, recent evidence in the Philippines to the contrary. That said, there are numerous references to death by fire in the Bible. That's not going to leave much either.

I just get Gmail via IMAP in Thunderbird. So it ain't gonna work.

And the liability will shift to the manufacturer of the autonomous vehicle more so than the person riding in it and owning it.

Same sentiment here. I'm pretty sure that Nye will handily defeat the arguments of Ham. But I can't wait to see this.

About creating that guest account - I have NEVER let anyone 'borrow' my laptop. It is mine, passworded, encrypted and the whole nine yards.

Yeah I know. And Avaya - really? I thought they got snapped up by Alcatel!
Granted I've administered wired Avaya gear in the past, mostly G3iV3, G3iV6 and G3iV11 voice pbxs.
That killed a public WiFi MESH network where I live. These big companies need a big slap.

What happened to auto making in Detroit was subject to much the same. It was the rise of the MBA and the Bean Counters that killed Detroit.
Time and again - the bean counters fuck everything up.

Will they plant their flag right next to the U.S. flag?
And the Russians - they came close but failed in the long run.
Here's my opinion. Their product is a flaming piece of excrement. Their implementation of BMCRemedyForce is too expensive and badly implemented.
