Show me one video of water boiling on a dash. Show me one reference of in-car temperatures exceeding 100C (300F), because everything I've googled tops out at half that.
100 degrees C? Boiling point of water? Not even close. Besides, considering the number of cars at the north pole, the problem is not worth worrying about. Growing brittle in the severe cold would be the real issue.
It seems more natural for one drone to tell the other "get out of my way" than for that drone to phone in and say "Hey Central, contact drone in sector XYZ and tell it to get out of my way".
Why Washington? Because The Fancy Article is talking about filing flight plans, and since a central authority has to have a center, and Washington is the location of the central controlling authority in the US. (I suppose I should have said Warrenton, Virginia, home of the Air Traffic Control System Command Center, but I didn't know that earlier).
Why do you want a central controlling authority in the first place, whether or not it is geographically sharded? Why is there any need for any sort of database, 4D or otherwise? Simply have the drones talk to each other and negotiate how to avoid each other directly, like small plane pilots following visual flight rules. No need for a database. No need for any authority.
No. I'm recommending a cheap localized solution vs the expensive bureaucratic centralized solution that you're suggesting. Why should I have to talk to Washington to fly a drone over my own field?
Why does it need to be centralized at all? The only way a collision is going to occur is if two drones are trying to fly through the same piece of sky at the same time. If they're close enough to do that, they are more than close enough to talk to each other wirelessly. They can then autonegotiate between themselves which one yeilds to the other.
It's more than just a matter of brain size, it's also the ratio of brain size to body size. A bigger body requires a bigger brain just to coordinate.
Tell that to the Brontosa...er Apatosarus (poor creature. It went extinct twice!). Anyways, brain the size of a meatball - body the size of an articulated bus.
That's nothing. I trained my scientist to think that mice are as smart as rats. Can you believe it? Mice! So anyway, now they're doing all the gene/intelligence research on them instead.
Sounds real promising right up to "operational within a decade" that's code for we have an idea that on paper sounds like it might possibly work. Please give us lots of money.
Oh puleeaze. This is Skunkworks.
Exactly! Skunkworks' mandate is to try out wacky ideas that sound good on paper to see if it might possibly work.
I would hope it would be far more than a refeulling. Lots of things can degrade and/or corrode over time in a reactor, especially at sea where you are using ocean water as a heat sink. So... replacement? No. Overhaul and upgrades? Definitely!
I hope this is automatic - as you move the tool away from the body's center of mass, the weight "tail" lowers to counterbalance; and as you pull the tool closer, the weight tail lifts.
It's a glorified Steadicam mount. Like the 'smart guns' carried by Vasquez and Drake in the movie Aliens. A spring loaded linkage connects the load to a body harness, but with added linkages that can transfer the weight of the harness to the ground.

It is just a decoration. It has no practical function. Trying to use it under water would be a major hurdle and likely very dangerous.
You say that as if it's a bad thing.
The partners made a "bat-oid" and the senior partner's name is "Wayne". That means their work shop is the bat-cave.
I suspect the designer's secret identity is Aquaman.
Sorry, 150C (300F)

It will not ever get hot enough inside a car to boil water. Not even in Phoenix Arizona in the summer, let alone in Arctic Canada.
Besides how much shooting do they do on duty?
Bacon costs $16/lb, but elk only costs one bullet. Do the math.

What is the best load for a drone? I'm thinking #4 buck shot.
That only takes out the symptom. The problem is at the other end of the flight path.
I think they're talking about the self piloted Amazon delivery type of drones rather than the RC hobbyist craft.

Actually, what needs to happen is a split between the company providing the cable, and the company providing the signal on that cable.
Don't worry. By releasing the hydrogen into space, we'll all die from hyperoxia long before we run out of water.

I'm a little fuzzy how something can be "built and tested" within a year, but require a decade to produce an "operational reactor".
Maybe it takes a while to warm up.

The best way to survive a nuclear blast is to jump inside a lead lined refrigerator.

How much is 36 pounds in ISU?
Whether it's Indiana State University, Iowa State University, or Illinois State University, it will still be 36 pounds.

You may joke, but getting a dental implant via anal probe is no laughing matter. Its also not a recommended method for flossing.
So I can give up the micro-kinis and go back to boxers? There will be much relief all around.
