Funny that this works for most of SW developers I worked with as well as for huge number of MBA drones too. I suspect MBA drones may be faking it in quest to reach a bonus but they are humans too so most probably randomly arrive at what is the connections between cause and effect.
The worst thing however is that they may be right about choosing the simple way - there is hardly an economic gratification for determining the actual state of reality. For minority there may be a bonus in learning about this study. The majority will be just to distracted to understand and even if they understood this would bring only pain into their lives.
how small is this small part of population please provide both data on the driving patterns in respect to the electric car usability AND how big part of population needs longer range once in a while (say a week or so). While you are it please provide argument while this sizable part of population needs to give up its mobility so that you can live your dream. As a side subject you may get into disposal of batteries too and financial feasibility of recycling of that stuff.
Now I will be branded a Luddite but neither that is correct nor it is relevant. The problem of the hurrey-we-have-a-new-shiny-shit-fixing-it-all crowd is that they continuously ignore large parts of population and then they are surprised when people spit on them.
And if you really want to be fancy and have a well tasting bread you use yeast and lactobacilli.Of course this is done only by these terrible humanity hating luddities but we will deal with them in our PC conform correction facilities - we let them pedal some dynamos and produce almost clean electricity.
What exactly do you mean by dead technology - that it is going to be phased out some time? Looking from this perspective there is no technology being used today that is not dead already.
This is correct but I wonder how much baking soda do we already produce? Wiki says 100.000tones a year. The summary says 66kT of CO2 is captured per year - not sure how this translates into amount of baking soda but this cannot mean that Chinese using the method can do something other with it than putting it somewhere where we cannot see it. That may be a big deal for a mine in Colorado where they dig this stuff out.
So yes this is a nice thing but you still need to store the produce somewhere if this process is to be use everywhere. This leaves the question of profitability - was selling of baking soda part of the calculation?
This test is useless - most designers of the machines are hetero men thus they would have chosen a girl for tests as in this movie.
The there is this other thing - in our quest to improve our lot we went on to improve all other things too with economic efficiency being the best factor to decide what is better. Now what would be the final logical conclusion of a system that was set to improve that to the maximum possible value?
That is very new development I suppose? I mean just before xmas holidays I worked on a project with nokia guys installing their stuff on customer site. Or do you think they were not told they worked for free last few weeks?
That actually can be true. Israelis have made experiments with parents being late to pick up their kids from kindergarten - if the fine is too small it may be considered a fee for a service - there letting kids longer and here letting a car just standing there. Come to think of it, this may be quite what happens - after all , as the GP says - these Tesla driving folks are not going to get bankrupt because of that.
That is what was meant by "rarely goes smoothly". It does not matter if China succeeds this time. The fact is that from time to time somebody questions the status quo. This is usually an occasion to let steam and some blood too.
Hmm roaming costs you say. Well that is marginal problem with people crossing the boarder and can be addressed in ways any traveler knows already anyway. The problem the GGP wanted to show is that there are always scenarios which could lead to the self driving vehicle to be confused - in your scenario with bad reception or lost connection for any other reason (aliens eating the antenna etc). This is what somebody pointed out already about airplanes - autonomous airplane control systems can let the pilot sleep most of the way after he programmed the target. The programming of the target may be wrong (in themiddle of Indian ocean?) or you end up in the airfield having no support for autonomous landing or it is out of service or whatever such thing. Good engineering practice and most likely also law will require to have a backup that can support such automatic system by not ideal but better than nothing system called human. Unless of course we reach end of human development which is a completely different discussion but think of this - humans are last resort in such unpredictable situations because after appropriate training they are universal enough to realize what to do and give it a shot. System with such ability may be technologically possible one day but they would have enough of general human ability to adapt to environment that they would warrant some of our rights to be given to them. At the same time such systems will be complex enough that the probability of error will increase. The cost of such systems will increase too at least initially yet the problem with rights will have to be addressed - in other words at some point costs of enterprise will be not in technical ability but legal rights of the robots. Where this leads you can read up in Washing Machine Tragedy. This story may be a joke but the problems of complex systems will at some point arrive. I for one cannot wait for a good washing machine - a self driving car I do not really need.
Progress gets another meaning entirely when you stand at the edge of a high cliff. Some still make a step forward. That is tragic but if that were their will one has to accept it. Problem is - they sometimes take bystanders with them.
I'd go for tar and feathers or stocks. Or first tar & feathers, run the suckers trough the main streets of the town and then stocks on main square. The only purpose of these 'studios' is extortion. This is racket using legals system instead of common violence.
This is the view I could subscribe to. I had a short discussion with my female colleague about this and that ended very fast. Ever since I am called a redneck around here. Not sure why. I did not say that was a good thing nor I said the women subjected to the treatment should not complain. There is an issue there but it is not what liberal media made it to be. I suppose we will get rid of this at some point but I am not sure that the society that will, will be so nice to be in if you are a man, Some are like this already.
There is indeed a chance we get nazis in power in US after Trump takes over. Then again they were there before, are there now and would have taken power if the second candidate had won. They all are just different shades of brown. Not sure if this is true for this Stein person (if that is in fact a person) but greens in Europe are brown too..They are all great democrats if one were to believe what they say they believe in. Looking a little bit closer you can seen broken cross behind nice scenery. Looking at their deeds usually confirms their affinity to some shade of brown.
Whether this was the intention or not, I do not know but looking at any enterprise you will see that the start is with relatively small base number of delivered services which then increases as the successful company pursuits higher profits. While doing this a company is dropping original idea of, in this case, second income opportunity seekers and moving towards dedicated drivers/hoteliers - that was I think inevitable.
It gets really funny when you take into account the impact has been made by clearing forest to make up for lost production capacity of food stuffs now when we produce all this bio gasoline. It may just be that indeed the Chinese were right all along - the only way to limit damage is contraception. The other population control measures are all human but usually in conflict with valid laws.
market has hardly anything to say about it. The fact is that projects being difficult to compare are also difficult to draw conclusions upon. I actually have made a comparison of two projects running on two different platforms and using two different (*) paradigms - my corp just bought another corp where exact same thing has been done already but as said on other platform. The one had 300% higher cost than the other. The thing is - when I proposed to have a look at the reasons and do root cause analysis I was ignored. I took from this experience that this is a religion not a management practice.
* - It is often proposed that there are two approaches: waterfall and agile. I have not seen a fully waterfall project in my long working life and I took part in projects of 10k people lasting up to 2 years. The fact is you need some rigid planning and the planning and deadlines many months or years in advance because somebody has to budget the project and needs some sort of idea of what is feasible. Even agile teams do that or they overrun the available budget and then fail. These big projects had what appeared waterfall - they set deadline 2y in advance. Yet the project planners were flexible and the planning allowed to build a huge robust, flexible and powerful system that was delivered within an accepted deviation of budget and time. the actual development teams working on particular items were doing their iterative design & test and acting in an agile way if (from their perspective) external part necessary for test was delayed. I have seen similar in much smaller but in agile term massive (~100 people, run for a year) teams/projects.
After all these years I have made following observation: the development paradigm and chosen technology have less to say about possible success than the qualifications of the team. Good team with good leaders can achieve a lot. Not even best practice and good conditions to execute a project will help if team does not know how to make, deploy, revise and if need be modify decisions. Whether they do it during grooming meetings smoking joints or there is an uniformed drill instructor shouting on them is relevant because wrong are to the team and project what the tools are for the job - you just need the one you can work with.

If they are bigger then you win bigger wars faster?
has something to do with making Trump a better person or?

were his balls cut off and was he put on the stick for his utter stupidity? Or was this one of the untouchables?
You are indeed not the only one - I am also a Putin operative.
A certified one. Certificate is falsified though.

Her and her staff silliness did her harm. Russians (if these were they who did it) just helped (possibly illegally) to reveal the truth.
As per Wikipedia the first troops went into Afghanistan on September 26, 2001. That is almost immediately but still 2 weeks off.
That is what was meant by "rarely goes smoothly". It does not matter if China succeeds this time. The fact is that from time to time somebody questions the status quo. This is usually an occasion to let steam and some blood too.

This is even worse than you have thought. There are women that like it (i.e. being grabbed by the private parts) too. Shocking or?
