It uses NoSQL. Which does add a serious amount of complexity to the picture. SQL by comparison, row based, column addressable and relational. Gee, what could be so wrong with that?
Part of it is cost of the vehicles. Let's face it a Nissan Leaf is 30 grand. The other part is charging infrastructure. Until such time as places of business start installing quick charge stations you're not going to see widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
The other thing that kills it is the range of electric vehicles. The Leaf gets about 60 miles on a charge. That's not good.
Automation and manual control. Sure, the autopilot drops out for various reasons, most of which have to do with the sensor suite for airspeed and things of that nature. Pitot tubes are notorious for freezing up, etc. rending auto-pilot relatively useless.
Solve that problem and you can automate the entire flight. I never understood why they don't just GPS the entire flight.
A flaming piece of shit from the word go. I can't stand it and wish Netflix would just go back to the damned Flash player. I have an older machine and can regular watch Silverlight consume EVERY CPU cycle. It seems to do with network latency - it loses it's mind.
In Providence, RI about a decade ago. To my knowledge, all the cruisers have GPS in them today.
But it sort of reminds me back about five years ago. I was working in a state government office and part of my duties were to occasionally glance through the proxy logs. One day I note some sort of egregious behavior on the part of our Chief of Staff and so I bring it to the unit Director where I'm told "We do nothing about it." I tarried with "So does this apply to everyone?". No answer.
So from that point forward, nobody was watching proxy traffic. We eventually threw up a DansGuardian server but we exempted the upper administration and I.T. So essentially the stooges in other units couldn't go to certain places.
I thought it's not a cpu penalty to encrypt EVERYTHING. I'm also looking at the ISP's out there like Cox, Comcast, at&t, et al. From the demux at the customer premise to your switching and peering centers should ALL be encrypted. Every last bit of it. Let the NSA chew on that.
Disconnect from the grid entirely. But yeah - raise the fee - or try to do it. You'll find that your electric provider has the upper hand in setting those rates. They're a protected monopoly after all.
I have to wonder though with the advances in storage technology - I mean a stupid rule like this would just force me to go off grid completely.
Hackers can be dangerous. I mean, a good hacker can take down telecom, power, etc. That would cause MAJOR problems and quite possibly some deaths. So in that respect yes. But if it's just corporate IP that's being taken the punishment does seem extreme.
Because I have a heavy foot when it comes to driving. Today is a perfect example:
On I-95 in RI. I look down and keeping up with traffic I'm at 80MPH. But I do tend to leave plenty of space between my vehicle and the ones in front of me. But the thing is, these devices are either using GPS and so going to flag me for speed violations, or they're using ODB-II info and they're still gonna screw me. So I'll just pay the additional and tell them to stuff their once size fits all device straight where the sun doesn't shine.
That Blockbuster was doomed. As soon as online video became a reality you could slowly see traffic at Blockbuster stores dwindling down to nothing. It's funny though, the industry is littered with companies that saw a glimpse of the future and chose to ignore it, companies like Kodak, Blockbuster, etc.
If you really want to trace back the punishment versus rehabilitation argument you have to go all the way back to John Calvin and his contemporaries.
In my opinion it makes ZERO sense to warehouse people for what are largely petty crimes and to punish them with meager conditions, etc. Without rehabilitation the recidivism rate rises too.
Had they never heard of a password safe, one with a MASTER password? Granted it's a security hole but at least they wouldn't be completely in the dark.
Game this system for political game or other profit, particularly if their sewer systems are like a lot of those here in the United States - CSO or Combined Sewer Overflow, or further, storm drains and sewage go to the very same place.
Where I live they just recently finished four miles of underground tunnels to store the CSO. So in order to track what's going in they'd have to put a sensor near each outflow from each home and building. But being the storm drains are pretty close - its all moot.
But just imagine the fun you could have - you'd send the entirety of public safety into an absolute snit at the behest of your enemies.
Interestingly enough I was alive at the time of the events of 9/11/2001. And I remember that 17 of the 19 hijackers weren't Afghanis but Saudi Arabian. A full 89% were from our friend and ally in the middle east, Saudi Arabia.
"Captive Audience" by Crawford she spends maybe 5% or so of the book explaining WHY we get bent over the barrel for net services in the U.S. It's because of our economic model - charge all the traffic will bear. But it's also because it's COMPLETELY unregulated. She put forth that it costs Comcast maybe $2 per month to provide the net service, yet they charge close to $60 for it. And this is true of all the others - including at&t, Cox, et al. We need people in the FCC that aren't lawyers but engineers and techies, and then move net services into common carrier status. Fully regulated. Then you'll see pricing come back into reality.
I sort of disagree - teach it to everyone. Most school systems rely heavily on MS Office skills. Which is all fine and good. But teach them a little VBA, it's not difficult. The biggest obstacle is the object model and once you get that you can write quick and dirty code to bend Office to your will.
In fact I had been doing program reviews in local schools and encountered just such a class - they were doing a payroll spreadsheet in Excel. But to get the tax info they had to use a crib sheet. I asked the teacher if they were ever going to discuss formulas in cells, or even use VBA for more advanced functionality.
The answer I got was : "That's computer programming and you need advanced math for that!"
On my written report I quoted and rebutted that saying you need perhaps the first semester of Algebra I and an understand of number systems outside of base 10. Base 2 and Base 16, and just for gigles, Base 8. That's it - that's all you need to know to program in VBA.
I'm told my report shook them up a bit. Good, they need to be shaken and stirred now and then.
RI's system kind of, sort of, works. However I applaud Kentucky for understanding KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. That's something that seems be thrown out the window in most web development projects.

Or if you want, on fourth ring play SIT tones. Some of the robo-dialers recognize that as number out of service too.

Decides to whack me $5 per month to connect my solar array to the grid, I cut the grid off completely and buy a nice little energy storage unit.

Agreed - and there are only a handful or peering sites in the U.S. so it'd be pretty easy to shut traffic internally down too.

Does this depend on location data being turned on? Because I turned mine off the day I got my Android phone.
But winds of 195MPH and up would decimate most of the eastern coast of the U.S. that's insane.

Looks as though it was written by attorneys and legislators. No wonder it's so screwed up!
IMAP. They use it for a reason. I never logon to gmail on the web. Instead I use Thunderbird. Works beautifully.
