Unions but also...at 50-70,000 long tons going 50 mph....call me old fashioned, but I sort of feel comfortable with a person in the train (I believe they are practically automated as it is, the conductor is more there for dealing with pulling into the station, hazard stops, break downs, manual signal switching, ect).
If your talking about commuter trains, yea, those should be automated.
The less red tape needed to just use the thing the more use it will get. Part of the reason the ISS is so ridiculously over budgets is because of all the BS redundancy and BS "safe" tech high-pork approach (as in, scared to use fancy new things like "kevlar" and "carbon fiber", or scary words like "inflatables"....but lets keep using laptops from 15 years ago because they are COTS approved.).
As someone who used to work there, all I can say is NASA is often NASA's worst enemy....budget issues aside.
Actually it really wouldn't be all that hard, the app would just need to have transparency on the "screen" area. Then it would be just a matter of moving the app on top of the player window and scaling both to the same size.
Python would work pretty good.....hmmm, might be a fun little project.
Not really sure how they are going to enforce this on a individual basis, sounds more like additional rules to throw at people selling them or as crime evidence (like if a robber gets caught with one).
I think fusion is coming a bit sooner than the ITER roadmap seems to imply....I hope. It doesn't really look like large scale tokamaks are the way to go, practically all the inner area (where the plasma meets the wall) needs to be replaced after every single run (millisecond runs at that). Canada's general fusion has a novel design using a braided design to naturally let the plasma confinement work, but I haven't heard much about it lately. There is also the laser focus pellet reactor designs, but I think the issue with that automating the pellet placement.
To me lockheed has the right approach, a smaller modular design also scales well. Rather than having to build giant nuclear plant like facilities.
Even if fusion does take another 30 years, we have plenty of good fission options, salt reactors are my personal favorite.
I have a feeling everyone is going to be starwars'ed out by new years. Disney needs to earn that 4 BILLION back.
It will be a very star wars christmas, It also should be noted that they own more than half of the radio and tv broadcast stations.....sometimes I really do feel like I live in the movie "They Live" with Obey, Conform, Consume messages everywhere.
....well, hopefully this one turns out better than the first prequel did.
well considering I don't play browser based games its completely acceptable to me, lol. If I want to play something to kill time I play solitaire, like god intended.
Funny story, I was looking at Rv's to purchase for camping along with various rv parks around me....that's when I started seeing ads for depends and catheters....
screw them, this stuff is getting out of hand. Now I just turn off javascript....everything loads faster or it breaks (in which case I just go somewhere else).
That's another good point, what good does all this data collection do when the people you're looking for are 16-23 year old extremists that decided "last night" to ghost some plane full of randoms because the sermon was so moving the night before (which is what most of these "terrorists" seem to be...). You can't catch individuals using data collection when its done at random and on a whim.
This all assumes the individuals doing this are well coordinated and planned out, which I think the reality couldn't be further from the truth....
It really boggles my mind just how nonchalant all this has been broached by...well pretty much both america and the uk officials. I just don't get it, they haven't caught anyone (that we know of) via all this surveillance than how can its excuse as a security measure actually be taken seriously. Why is all this intelligence gathering necessary from a security standpoint. Its seems to me the sheer bulk of data will obfuscate anything of worth for the most part.....so what's the point?
It's like secretly collecting all the medical data on each individual several times a year for multiple years on every person on the planet whether they want that or not, only to find "one" person with cancer. How does this make any ethical sense??
I don't really understand it either, its sort of weird because I do spend a good amount online...reading and posting, and i've been trolled, I've even trolled back. But most of the time if I find something annoying, I do something else.
...I guess the matrix was right? Some people are so hopelessly plugged into a fictional world of opinions that it literally is their reality. I also get the feeling that 99% of the "issues" like this are hyperbole of the nth degree. Like people pretend its a systemic problem in the billions when in reality its like 50 people having an some issue.

"And who decides the standards?"
Rather than censorship I have a better solution. Remove anonymity from posting. Boom problem fixed.
....like books....before.
See he got the up side, I got the downside....there's two sides to every schwartz.
I tried re-watching the police academy movies just recently....just don't do it. Some things are better left as fond memories.
They would have been all over that solar deal then.
Lived in Hickory for 4 years, nice town. State is pretty, but wouldn't want to live their....plus I hate colslaw, and they put it on everything.

Thank you, you made coffee squirt out my nose.

Done.
they may get a little hungry. Sounds worse than what it actually is.
We have candidate "debates" that at best are "who can weasel their way out of a debate" contests.
A commander and chief that only reads things from a teleprompter written by other people.
Politicians that don't even hold themselves accountable for anything but lining their pockets through lobbyist.
A now nebulous "war on terror" costing some 1.6-1.7 TRILLION...part of which (iraq) was based on a lie.
A TSA agency that exists solely for safety theater
A huge data collection/retention/eves dropping system that blankets everyone
So no here we are, destroying evidence in public was just the next step.

So is it still just a few nefarious software developers/Engineers fault and not anyone higher up the ladder?
Clayton Bigsby would have none of that!
