Previous articles I've read on airships have typically focused on their ability to operate without an airport, or even a simple airstrip. They can pickup and transport large, heavy equipment directly to where it's needed regardless of most terrain. It seems like a nice capability, but I don't know what the market for that really is.
This is more than that... if the reports are true. They are reporting that it's messing with and deleting other partitions on the hard disk. It sounds like it's at lease messing with the partition table.
Why in the world does it matter that they are volunteers? Do you think people can't volunteer with malicious intent? This tells me that it's all being done by amateurs which makes me much less confident in this system than I was before I read your post.
Oh God. Virginia!? Seriously? It's pretty much guaranteed that your voting machines were hacked for most of the last several elections. You were using the least secure voting machines ever made (On the bright side you got rid of them last year). You didn't need to replace a circuit board, you could quite literally hack into them from a half mile away with a rudimentary antenna built using a pringles can!

Whether there is a legal justification or not depends on the laws where you are. In some places "local traffic only" is legally enforceable. If that is not the case the laws can be changed.
While I generally agree that this is mostly navel-gazing that I don't care much about there have been some testable hypotheses: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.u...
That's a perfectly valid approach in many industries. However, water is generally the prime example of an industry which is a natural monopoly. The costs of installing water pipes and actually having multiple possible sources of water would be insane, and all the construction necessarily to maintain them would be crazy too. In this case the federal government setting minimum standards for local/state governments seems the best approach. It seems the main failure here (other than corruption) is that the testing standards were too loose.
I think the issue here is that freeing a slave without the owners permission is also known as robbing the slave owner, at least from the owners point of view. It's certainly valid to simply say that people are never property and can never be owned, but that's arguing semantics.
However, Matthew 5:41 says "And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles." [ESV]. This refers to the law at the time where a Roman soldier could require someone to carry their gear for 1 mile. Odds are very good that whatever that soldier was doing it probably qualified as sin. This seems to be a pretty clear case of assisting someone in sin. To me a possible distinction is whether the "sin" would happen without your assistance. In the case of the soldier and the gay wedding it's going to happen regardless of what you think, so I think the answer there is that you should bake 2 cakes.
While other's thoughts on evolution may not have much impact on him, their thoughts on global warming may certainly have an impact on him, especially if he lives in a coastal city. Their thoughts on vaccination may harm his children.
While the risks can sometimes be overblown you seem to be swinging in the opposite extreme. The ISS and all shuttle flights have all been well within the Earth's magnetic field, which is our biggest radiation shield. The Apollo program is the only time we've sent humans beyond this shield.
Mars has a minimal magnetic field compared to Earth. Just about every plan for long-term habitation of Mars has involved spending the majority of the time underground due to the radiation exposure. As others have pointed out, digging this out and living in it is not going to be very easy.
In most cases the profit motive creates more efficient and effective organizations, but there are many areas where the profit motive breaks down. Education is one of them as is operating a prison. Natural monopolies are another area where government control is usually recommended.
I agree. I haven't seen anything about re-usability on the SLS which is just nuts. I actually think Airbus' approach with the Adeline is a more realistic approach, but they don't seem to be nearly as far along as SpaceX is. Any sort of re-usability is clearly better than none.
My main disagreement with Ms Garver is that she portrays this as a turf war. Musk has an edge of bravado about him that can make him seem a bit un-serious. Re-using rockets sounds great. Re-using them on the same day sounds like a greedy businessman trying to skimp on safety checks. I think this is what NASA finds upsetting. I may be very wrong.
Actually, that's not what he's planning on using. He's planning on building a super-heavy lifter roughly comparable to the Saturn V or SLS. Here's the link from the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... If you scroll down you'll see a cross-section comparison. This thing makes the Falcon Heavy look like a toy.
He is planning on some Falcon 9 based flights to Mars, but those will be just be landers and/or supplies. Here's the wikipedia link for that one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
A very strong case can be made for Doctors not even prescribing specific drugs. Even the best docs don't really know the drugs that well, but pharmacists do. Doctors should do the diagnosing of the issue(s) and if they wish to use a pharmaceutical treatment send the information to the pharmacist and let them consult with the patient and choose the appropriate drug(s) and dosage. This is especially important when dealing with multiple medications from multiple specialists. Pharmacists are by far the most under-appreciated medical professionals.
I'm a gamer who's been playing longer than you and I have never felt that trash-talk was appropriate. You should also keep in mind that there have always been plenty of non-competitive games. PVP gamers frequently seem to think they are the only ones that count for some reason. Someone who only plays solo 4X games is just as much a gamer as you are.
I guess that wouldn't be so bad. If so somebody needs to notify the marketing department that "social media integration" has gone from buzzword to electro-shock word.
The evidence I've seen is that a strong safety net increases business startups because people are less afraid of what will happen when they fail, which most of them will do.
ICD (all versions) are not about insurance. Yes the insurance companies use them, but the primary push comes from the World Health Organization and they aren't the least bit concerned about insurance companies. It's generally been adopted much faster in countries with socialized or single-payer systems.
The doctor's and nurses don't need to know any of the codes. However, they do need to document things much better than they have been doing so far in order for the coders to categorize things correctly.
As far as the software goes it varies a bit by vendor, but I expect that the real slowdown part is in tracking down the documentation in the record, not assigning the codes. We are slowly moving away from free-form dictation by doctors into more data-oriented documentation which makes this part a bit easier.
It's just insane how long it's taken us to do this. My wife learned to code ICD-10 in college because they didn't think ICD-9 would be around much longer. This was 20 years ago.
Remember: "Man pays $50 and gets what he paid for!" doesn't make for very exciting news. The vast majority of Kickstarters work relatively well, perhaps with some delays, but nothing too serious.
Certain projects categories are a bit more volatile than others. Software and gadgets are among the most risky, which happens to be the categories of primary interest to slashdotters. In comparison, board games are an extremely safe bet. In the vast majority of cases the creator already has a print & play version available. Kickstarting is becoming positively routine in the board games world, and that's despite having one of the most famous kickstarter screw ups (The Doom that Came to Atlantic City).
Keep in mind that ads aren't reddit's only source of revenue. They also have reddit gold, which is a pretty bizarre thing: It functions basically as a subscription to the site with some of the typical perks.
The strange thing is that in general people don't buy it for themselves, they buy it for other people in recognition of good comments. Basically, if UserX makes a comment I really like I might click on the "give gold" button at the bottom of the comment. I pay money to reddit, reddit gives UserX some perks for a month. It's very bizarre when you think about it, but it gives reddit real incentives to make it a place where users post good comments.

Okay, so it's not a good idea for people. It sounds like it's perfect for cross-country pizza delivery. It cooks while it's on the way!
