    Use sound and water as no crew to worry about? The problem is if its hacked and shut down at sea or systems get activated in port.
    Automated pirate removal systems would need to be very safe to shut down. Too safe and the pirates can shut the systems down too.

    So don't fix it, use contractors who bring their own security. No changes to the ship.
    Pirates try to enter from the side, they are stopped, ship keeps its speed up.
    No need to wait around for some navy. Use the private sector and the cargo is safe.

    The costs are in a caption, crew, medical, cooks, shifts of crew to look after the engine.
    Replace that with a few contractors, some food, a cook, a doctor that have then report to the deck when needed?
    Pirates try to approach, the private sector goes to work on the side of the ship.
    Ship sails on and the cargo and contractors are safe.

  4. Power companies have one new federal trick to try. A government backed solar export tax. To keep a nation grid fully funded.

  11. Depends on the task. For everyday OS and simple productivity apps? Fine.
    For a new 4K, 8K ready computer game?
    Can a developer spread a new game's tasks over a new cpu and have it still work as well as expected?
    Can every task be split up and shared over a new average cpu design? Or do some tasks need a fast cpu?
    New programming language? New ways of working with content? New ways of working with a cpu, gpu?

    Re "populism and seen that darkness ahead"?
    An election was held, people voted, the count will see a conservative and DUP government.
    If another party presents some good ideas next election they might win.
    If a political party wants to win, find a politician who can win and get the full support of a political party.
    Voters usually like a good leader who can speak well and who has good ideas.
    If a party is split and a leader has issues they often don't win.

    The conservatives won. With the UDP the math is really simple.

  15. The UK has some very unique laws from the 1950-90's surrounding people, groups who are planning, preparing, funding, supporting illegal activities.
    Why such laws are not been used on all the people in the UK or who have entered the UK who support, fund and help with illegal activities could be another question.

    Find a person talking in front of a not moving background.
    Try a resolution from the vcd or vhs years.
    Take time to look at every frame in great detail. Keep working on the data in each frame for a much longer time.
    Use a good cpu and gpu to really work the math per frame and each next frame, all frames.
    Then have an artist correct each frame by hand for movement or areas that should have not moved.
    Alter any code as needed.
    Try again.
    Code could be optimized for a set background and a talking presenter. Let good code, many gpu's and cpu's try again.
    Have the artist look at every frame again.
    Once some interesting results can be repeated try many different backgrounds. Some issue between the human moving and a different background might be more successful.
    If the gpu's and cpu's need a day to work on a very short series of frames but produce a good result, keep trying.
    Better cpu and gpu support can be added. A new idea about what code can do and what the artist suggests will take time.
    Try every method and theory that can be found per frame and for every frame.
    Also consider film, digital or other capture methods and how each frame is created.
    A very different, emerging or old and unexpected way of working with each frame might be better for the math per frame.

  17. People's basic rights?
