I use BackupPC running on a FreeBSD box with ZFS for all my backup needs. Each client gets rsync setup as a service and gets backed up daily. I use cygwin for Windows clients but the configuration is pretty standard from client to client.
I have a separate FreeBSD box for off-site backups and stream ZFS snapshots from the BackupPC machine weekly. The whole setup has a few manual steps but that keeps me connected to the process and more likely to catch any problems before they get out of control.
compared to all the alternatives. Also, self driving cars don't really solve our transportation problems. Your still stuck with too many cars on too few roads...roads which are in poor condition along with their bridges.
Cars are not very efficient when considering the personal transportation equation. Do you really want to 'ship' 1000s of pounds of plastic/steel/rubber everywhere your 200 pounds of flesh wants to go?
Imagine if CA canceled their stupid bullet train project and dumped a fraction of the money into a SkyTran system for LA/SD/SF.
The potential is huge but it needs a billionaire champion or something to get it going...:)
Wrong. A majority of people in the USA did NOT want her to be President. The majority of people who voted did...but not a majority of people. Trump/Johnson/Stein supporters certainly didn't want her and all the people who didn't vote didn't want any of the candidates.
You are talking minor health issues (headache, stubbed toe, etc.) and I'm talking about things which should be in the Health Care category but have migrated into Health Insurance.
Health Insurance should be for catastrophic incidents in your life. Cancer. Birth defect. Stroke. etc.. Basically the things nobody has any control over.
Health Care should be cheap and easy. Eat right, exercise, wear a condom, skip being a competitor in the X-Games, and you will be fine.
Example: Having a baby? Get out your checkbook.
Example: Born with a heart defect? No worries.
Example: High cholesterol from a crap diet? Get out your checkbook.
Example: Brain tumor? Your covered.
Example: Life time smoker with lung cancer? Get out your checkbook.
It all boils down to personal responsibility and personal control. If you as an individual can control it then you should pay for it.
To fix the health system it must be split into Health Care and Health Insurance.
People must be personally responsible (and pay) for their Health Care and can pay a small amount to be in the large Health Insurance pool.
Stupid Car Analogy: Do you make a claim for an oil change? What about wiper changes? Tires? Back into a tree and get a tiny dent? NO. Car Insurance is for those times when fate smacks you in the face and wrecks your car.
The same should be true in the Health Industry. You are responsible for the care and maintenance of your body. Until people take a direct role in their health and stop thinking things are "free" the system will continue to spiral into failure.
Instead of a Civics test how about we get people to actually SIGN the Constitution to prove their consent to be governed by it.
It is ridiculous that being born at a certain LAT/LONG makes you subject to something you never created or endorsed. Can you be born into a contract?
Imagine what the implications would be if the American people had to review/sign the Constitution when they turned 18.
As it stands right now a tiny portion of the American population is voting anonymously to decide the direction of the Country and that needs to change.
Just send one of our nuclear subs to provide a source of main power...or maybe a carrier. A carrier would be better of course but they may be too busy threatening countries thousands of miles away from the US.
A nuclear ship could even be a long term solution for PR. It could provide power for the island while they get solar/wind established and rebuild their infrastructure. If bad weather rolls in the ship unplugs and finds clear water until the storm has passed...;)
Hyperloop is a 'pipe' dream which will mostly serve the rich and only a very few with specific travel requirements. SkyTran would serve an entire City or Country with more then just personal public transportation. Run whatever cables/wires you want down the tracks and get fiber, gas, power and more. Every loading station could be a Wifi/Cellular node blanketing the area with open access.
There is so much potential in a SkyTran system that it annoys me it doesn't get more exposure and I keep seeing an endless series of Hyperloop stories.
Bravo on Space-X.
Bravo on Tesla.
But, please stop spending money on autonomous cars. 'Johnny Cabs' are a wasteful mode of transportation and they don't solve the real problem of crumbling infrastructure (crap bridges/highways/roads) and over population (too many cars/buses/trucks and not enough space).
Also, stop with hyper loop. A vacuum tube? really?
Please put your resources and Engineering talents into helping http://www.skytran.com/ become a reality.
Thanks.
I use their board service and their software and it works great for my little project boards. I can work something up over the weekend, get my order in on Monday, and by Friday I have my boards.
Self driving cars are pointless. They do NOT solve the traffic problem. They do NOT solve the crappy road problem. Hauling a ton of steel & plastic along with a few hundred pounds of flesh from point A to point B is NOT very efficient.
Now, imagine if Google helped build a skyTran network in any major city. A new fiber/power/gas/wifi network could be easily added to the build-out to break the last mile strangle hold.
A skyTran system is the best option for meeting personal transportation needs in the foreseeable future. Self driving cars are a waste of time/money/engineering because they will take decades to develop and still have to drive on our crappy over-crowded roads. We are running out of room to build new roads to handle the current traffic let alone any future requirements. Also, cars are not very efficient. Why transport 1000s of lbs of steel and plastic just to haul a few hundred lbs of flesh from point A to point B?
Trains and buses fail the usability test because people hate traveling like herd animals all packed into one big crowded and smelly car. People also can't control their travel as much and have to match the train/bus schedule.
I don't see skyTran as replacing the car so much as more of taking the major load off of cars. Commuter traffic would be greatly eliminated in high population zones if all the 9-5 traffic was dumped onto a skyTran.
Imagine jumping in a pod and cruising downtown for the game/concert and then zipping home. No high rise parking structures...no rip-off parking fees. The stadium would have an enlarged hub to handle surges in traffic with ease.
Imagine the competition to UPS and FedEx if new companies could use a Country-wide skyTran. Dedicated hubs could be connected to the system and same day shipping and delivery would be common place.
Imagine a manufacturer with their own hub. They could have skyTran pods delivering parts directly from their suppliers.
Imagine a farmers market fed directly with refrigerated skyTran pods.
Imagine all the fiber which could be laid on top of the skyTran network which provided Gbps Internet while you traveled in comfort.
I have been following the efforts of skyTran for YEARS and I am stoked that they are finally getting to build a system.

What year Avalanche? I have replaced the full set of plugs and wires on my 2002 and it didn't require lowering the engine.

I wouldn't mind if some add-ons were integrated (Enigmail, Nostalgy) but don't mess too much with the cored T-Bird.

The land owner problem is another reason I love the skyTran solution:
http://www.skytran.com/
It builds right along current roadways so no issues with getting any new access permissions...:)
skyTran is simply a far better solution than Hyperloop and I wish it would get more exposure and consideration.

Would somebody please tell Mr. Musk about http://skytran.net/
Hyperloop is an interesting concept but it doesn't come anywhere near what we really need right now or even in the near future.
Let me know when I can buy a squib...:)

I haven't used them in a while but when I checked their link it looks like they updated the software so I will have to check that out.
I want SkyTran: http://www.skytran.us/
You were moderated Informative with this "gem" in your comment:
"Anything not forbidden to the Federal Government by the Constitution is allowed..."
It is exactly that train of thought which has lead to the utter disaster which our Government has become.
These links were very informative and helpful. Your at +5 already so have a Virtual High Five...:)

Why doesn't Google skip the obsolete car and support skyTran?
