Heh. My kids are in the first class of high school. Girls vary in height from 1.50m to 1.85m, and from completely undeveloped and very childlike to rather overdeveloped and hard to differentiate from a fullgrown woman. At that age you get every possibility in one group.
Why? Shouldn't I take them to the sauna? I'm sure Finland will disagree. Shouldn't we go to the "natural" camping where nudity is normal and standard? Germany and large parts of the Dutch population would disagree. Why should I saddle my daughters with nudity taboos they have little use for, other than to be aware of where they are and how to respond to the neurotic ideas of the people around them?
Or unable to obtain a mortgage. Or a job with a financial institution. Or a new bank account. Or any job at all.
The way it works when I was working with a credit card fraud dept. was that you were checked in the register and if your name came up as a hit, the company that put you in the register was called and asked for more information. The client was then asked for their side of the story. Depending on the answers the loan or credit or account was denied - or sometimes granted. For instance, some people were placed in the register for being abusive to employees. The company I worked for didn't have offices so they really didn't care about that and the creditcard was granted in that case. But if you had been registered for being a moneymule for criminals, you were basically going to have to live on cash for the next decade, and employers wouldn't be able to send you any money either. Since wages (where I live) are never done in cash but always through bank transfers - even for a paper boy - having this restriction placed upon you means you have to answer a lot of embarrassing questions from your employer.
In the USA I can imagine that, given the way creditcards and credit scores work, being denied a creditcard is going to be a real issue.
He's supported and part of a whole crowd of citizens that like fleecing people by abusing the law. Why don't you advocate changing the horrible system that allows this shit in the first place? Sending one of them away isn't going to change a thing.
In Norway, 400 kilometers is "all day driving". Literally - it came as something of a surprise after arriving there and having to drive from Oslo to Bergen. Took 8 hours and we drove "highway" (lol) all the way. A highway in Norway is something where you move from curve to curve, and you actually have two whole lanes so you don't need to wait until the opposing cars are gone before you can use the road. At least, not all the time.
I think a Tesla is uniquely suited to Norway: lots of very cheap hydro-electric power, which they sell but could also use themselves. Lots of money to subsidize the transition. Lots of money for building new infrastructure. I'm quite jealous:)
With their car? As long as you keep the batteries warm it shouldn't be an issue. For gasoline cars you already get a different edition for arctic climates, I'm not sure why this shouldn't be possible with EV.
Any political system is a way of looking at society and stating what's wrong and what's right. Thus every organized religion is also an ideology and nearly in every case a political system as well - Islam is no exception, it's the rule.
Just look at the Orthodox Church and the current patriarch Kyrill. He's wearing a Rolex not because he got it from God, but because he toes the official line of Putin. And saying US churches are not political is just silly. Or go to Ireland or Spain to see how much influence the Catholic religion has. Or to Uganda, where Christian US preachers have been instrumental in almost getting the death penalty imposed on gays, and banning contraception. A-political, my ass. There is no such thing as an a-political religion.
There are ofcourse a-political followers who don't need to impose their own views on others. That's just a sign of an ideology on the way out, and not inherent in any ideology that takes itself serious.
You obviously have no idea about what it replaced.
For instance, the saying "an eye for an eye" means that you can ONLY take an eye if someone takes yours, instead of taking his or her life. That's an improvement.
Well, don't complain to me, bro. If you get all of that fancy education and STILL fail the Turing test, you're obviously suited only for changing the oil on your new boss...
And let me be the first to say that I, for one, will gladly welcome our captcha-solving robotic overlords.
Because the economic model of the publishers would suffer:)
I'm sure Mercedes would love to get rid of the first-sale doctrine. Alas, they will not get that and now judges understand software and IP laws better, the doctrine will be applied there as well, eventually, as it should.
And the ECJ ruling in UsedSoft vs. Oracle specifically declared that reasoning invalid, by saying that if it quacks like a sale, and walks like a sale, and acts like a sale instead of renting it out... then it's a sale and the first sale doctrine applies.
A license that requires payment of a one-time fee is a sale. And the ECJ specifically mentioned that the language in the license can be disregarded in that case.
Okay... that car is highly optimized. Anyway, I just checked and the assumption of 40 Kw/h was correct, it's actually 43 Kw/h in 1.1 Kg of compressed hydrogen.
So either I'm missing something here, or this is a mad new energy source: for just 13 Kwh we can fill up the fuel cell with 40 Kwh of energy. In other words, I haven't a clue but the figures can't be right, or we'd have free energy.
Hydrogen compressed at 700 bar = 142MJ/kg. 1.1 Kg is therefore 156.4 MJ. That's 3.25 x the density of diesel. So this equates to +/- 3,57 Kg of diesel which equates to +/- 4.2 liters of diesel.
So 4.2 liters of diesel would be good for 300 miles in this car. Not bad, that's 71 miles per liter.
What's the name of the company providing the figures? Volkswagen?
Well... it might go boom before uncle gets on the internet. Pressure in a typical H2 storage vessel, if you want to actually drive with it, is 350-700 bar. That's no joke to be sitting on it if dear uncle did the welding and just made a tiny mistake somewhere. It's a fuel-air bomb waiting to go.
Please look up "Achille Lauro". 4 terrorists captured a cruise liner with 900 passengers and staff.
While I would hope that security would be better nowadays, I fear that this is not the case. Almost no states accept armed guards on civilian vessels, certainly not EU states. So I doubt nuclear powered cruise liners will be here.
We better concentrate on things that can be done, such as mandating cleaner fuel (it's possible, and already mandated within EU waters, to use the lighter fuel. It's still bad but not as bad as the low grade diesel they use at sea) and more efficient ships overall. Perhaps electric engines when in port? Not sure if that would be possible though.
How many cities do you think would permit the enty of a nuclear powered vessel? IIRC, there are several main ports already banning carriers for this reason. Cruise ships? Not a chance.
Apart from that, unless the design was provably safe (4th generation and regular inspections by independent authorities) and pretty clean even *I* would feel uncomfortable with them. It's way to easy to get rid of nuclear waste by just dumping it somewhere, not to mention other cost-cutting arangements that would decrease safety. Nuclear power on carriers and subs work because of high standards in personel enforced by military discipline. Good luck getting that on a random cruise ship.
I doubt Google would want to do this. I'm afraid that under current IP law they'd be very much screwed. The confusing analogies may be entirely on purpose.
The conceptual modeling ISO standard already declared that a conceptual model is as applicable to modeling the judicial domain as it is to modeling business information. So I would argue that judge Alsup behaved like lawyers should, which is as information analyst.
The problem being that most lawyers do not actually understand their own domain in a mathematical sense, from a conceptual modeling view. It would improve laws a lot if they were treated as conceptual models that need to be disambiguated before use.
So you think a simple gear selector makes no sense but you want to inflict this on drivers? And how is this not a gear selector using a different UI?
Let's just say I disagree that gear selectors on electric cars are outdated. Until someone can show a better system (which undoubtedly will come along, in that I agree) I guess we're stuck with it.
Uhmmm... how would you tell the car it is in park mode and can engage the mechanical locks otherwise? Or if you want to go in reverse? If you can figure that out without some form of gear selector I'd like to hear it.

The article seems to indicate there has not. But IANAL so...

But with it likely comes harsh(er) DRM that means total end to end tracking.
How about a blockchain for books?
An excellent idea that was discussed in the article. You might want to read it sometime.
