BFD, everything humans do is technologically elevated, this is garbage news that has zero science or technology relevancy. its just fucking clickbait. this is exactly why I love SoylentNews so much better. goddamn parent company continues to suck at maintaining what they bought.

The fact that you have to resort to ad homenim to defend says allot.
COBOL is garbage, it will stick amroud like garbage, and people will continue to bitch and step over it like garbage.... And by the way, I think you are confusing JavaScript with Java... Because Java aint got no muthafuk'n closures, BITCH!
Does COBOL have for each loops?
Does COBOL have LAMBDA expressions?
Does COBOL have Autoboxing?
Does COBOL have Generics?
Does COBOL have a vast population of developers?
Does COBOL have AOP?
Shall I continue?
Slashdot's inflammatory titles are a strategy to encourage impulsive and thoughtless behavior. I am against this, and in protest, I refuse to read or respond to these articles in any other way. This is my official boycott, expect to see this elsewhere until you get the message.
The synthetic strains of DNA in GMO's are allot like the History-Eraser-Button in that we don't know will happen each time we press that button... Maybe something good, Maybe something bad.
All the paranoid/under-informed non-scientific folks out avoiding GMO's at Whole Foods are essentially in Ren's camp; DON'T PRESS THE JOLLY CANDY LIKE BUTTON!
The real question is, are you Ren, or are you Stimpy?
As I understand, the idea of public transit is commonly thought of as Bus or some permutation of rail(subway,trolley, light rail, etc.). I could see a possible future where public transit could resemble a massive fleet of smaller (electric self-driven?) vehicles; It could be cheap, fast, and possibly transcend nations, offering transit to... anywhere, possibly even via ground/water/air transport. If only energy was cheap enough... #ahemLTFR's
The Yubikey can serve as a One-Time-Password(OTP), Universal Second Factor (U2F) Authentication, Etc. I primarily use it for the U2F, which is similar to an RSA Token, but it conveniently eliminates token expiration anxiety, and errors frequently caused by chronic butterfingers. I just jam it into a USB port, it gets recognized as a keyboard, I press the little light on the top, and boom!
The NEO is similar to the standard blue Yubikey, additionally supporting NFC for some protocols. Unfortunately, U2F is NOT supported through the embedded NFC chip. https://www.yubico.com/product...
When I bought mine, I was hoping to use it as a physical password on my smartphone, simply swiping across the back side, as available with the OTP protocol. I later found out that would be forced to use the USB on everything, and have yet to find any use for the NFC with U2F. (my fault for not reading the documentation more thoroughly, as they clearly state: "...current U2F standards do not support NFC for mobile devices.")
Long story short, if you only need the U2F, don't bother with the NEO. just get the cheaper FIDO U2F SPECIAL

As far as durability, its survived me for about a year now, and I'm not known being gentile.
Mass-produce millions of fuel-inefficient cars. (maybe call Nascar about installing a track or two)
Create huge landfills to emit lots of methane; possibly filled with garbage from earth.
These two things combined should get the Mars atmosphere nice and dense for our fragile human bodies!
And what ever you do, DO NOT USE RENEWABLE ENERGY! As this will no doubt rob the atmosphere of the precious greenhouse gasses needed to keep the planet habitable.
This is an excellent case for ownership avoidance. If a person has significant motivation to actively protect their anonymity/privacy, I could see how subscribing to a car "service" rather than owning/leasing a specific car, would be attractive. From a service providers perspective, this could be a marketing point as well! As Millennials are the primary demographic that view Edward Snowden as a patriot, I could also see this same demographic being attracted to maintaining of privacy through a car service.

Just saying...
1) "Because no one wants them"
Want is completely subjective. People frequently do not know what they want. Your argument is essentially that people are stupid... ?
2) "I don't want some idiot behind the wheel falling asleep or into a trance"
I think people falling asleep behind the wheel is more about highway hypnosis/poor sleep/alcoholism, than the lack of sound. Also, how is the lack of sound supposed to induce a trance?
3) "you can use them as a coffin when they get into an accident with a real car:)"
Sure, they make great coffins, if you're stupid enough to believe that most, or even all EV's are anything like a Smart car.
Your arguments are worthless, and you should be moderated down.
What's wrong with 15 minutes recharge time? Common, admit it pal, you are straw-manning charge station over there at Costco. A good 440 Volt charging station makes anyone with an EV, in Texas-speak, happier than a two with dog with two peckers.
I'll bet you've never used an EV, and the concept concept of driving an EV just don't get your cows a runn'in, unless you can go Muddin' in one! 'Merica!
Just in case you hadn't heard about this, there is an alternative to purchasing Automobiles called Leasing? The relatively low price point is from the automaker already recouping its money from the lease, and the low demand in the market. But go ahead, don't buy the cheapest car you could possibly own, everyone else is much better off profiting from your poor choices!:D
Bullshit, Bullshit.
Maintenance is, in the parlance of automobiles, is anticipated service not in response to a component failure, but "the act of inspecting or testing the condition of car subsystems (e.g., engine) and servicing or replacing parts and fluids"... "parts are replaced to avoid major damage or for safety reasons, e.g. timing belt replacement". Why don't you walk into a dealership and ask about the maintenance schedule for a Nissan Leaf; (Spoiler alert) It's laughably short, and almost entirely Inspection. however, they did mention the optional replacement of an in-cabin air filter.
All of the 440 Volt (CHAdeMO) charging stations I visit in Kansas City, are 100% free, and I typically DO NOT shop at those location while charging (mostly because it only takes 15 minutes). http://goo.gl/KBDn2Y
I don't care how cheep gas gets, Plenty of EV charging stations are 100% free. Last I checked, no one in my area was giving away free gas?
Further, people are obviously uninformed or misled on how EV's are, in the most important ways, superior automobiles for the daily use:
1) ZERO MAINTENANCE (except for breaks & tires, wipers/fluid)
2) Vastly fewer points of failure - NO: fuel pumps, alternators, starters, automatic transmission(unless you count a 1 speed transmission), main seals, mufflers, fuel injectors, heater cores, etc., etc...
3) Electricity is far cheaper than any gas any where every day.
4) Used EV's are SUPER CHEAP right now - http://goo.gl/ZAJV81
5) EV's are super quiet, peaceful, meditative.

What are you talking about, I see 30 rapid chargers in the Chicago area!?

Free charge points all over the place here in KC, and these are just the Rapid Chargers. http://goo.gl/KBDn2Y
oh, then you could just be smarter than everyone, buy an electric generator, and charge with that ;)
