In 2016 Amtrac got One Billion Three Hundred Eighty Five Million dollars in grant money, from the U.S. Department of Transportation ->Federal Railroad Administration. That's in addition to the money they get for, you know, selling tickets... https://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0249
They also got over a Billion dollars in 2009 as part of ARRA.
So, if a Senator has clout and says Hop, they should check back for parameters after they are in the air...

As long as studios keep up outrageous fees for online streaming licenses, the physical discs will remain popular - both for rental and purchase. Over the long term they will probably decline, but I wonder if greed has any expiration...
Greed not only has no expiration, it increases as fast as possible... In other news, the wages of sin remain fixed...
Remember back when every simple term didn't have to be explained in the summary? Like LIDAR is cutting edge or something. Come on, it's not 3D printed rocket science... (but that may come up soon)
If you say something they usually give you a credit towards digital merch or add an extra month of (lackluster?) service to your Prime account. They have missed the mark a few times, but if you call they will make some kind of amends... and it's hard to beat the return policy on FBA.
Yeah. Directions where I grew up always seem to reference at least one landmark that hasn't existed for decades. For example, "take the road up the hill behind the old Zellers building". Never mind that Zellers closed over 20 years ago and it's had several other department stores in it since....
Yup, we get those. Turn where the double-wide used to be... I like the subjective ones even better, "After a couple of miles you'll see a rock that looks kind like a bear..." if you get to Phoenix you missed it...
The summary and the article don't say that, but I have no doubt you are right. It's hard to beat Mother Nature, so let's co-opt her! No one bothered to link the paper, which is a PDF here: http://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/early/2018/04/16/1718804115.full.pdf The story did mention that the enzyme was not optimized (do to young age of the whole process no doubt) and suggested a transplant of the mutant enzyme into an “extremophile bacteria” for a greater range of temperature resistance... I can hear Jeff Goldberg saying "Yes Yes, make it hard to kill!
"After you leave the pavement, you go down the road a bit 'till you see three big rocks. You can ignore them, they just let you know you're on the right road. If you get to the base of a mountain without seeing the three big rocks, you're on the wrong road... So, a ways after the three big rock you'll get to the place where Billy Bob's trailer used to be parked, make a left there. If you hit a pothole so big you think you may have damaged something, that's the road you want. In awhile you'll get to a motor home that looks and smells like a meth lab, don't slow down, it's a meth lab. A bit after that you will see a fence with some cows behind it, we are on the other side of that field but you have to drive around it 'cause there's a bull in there and he's not friendly. Just follow the fence 'till the road dead ends and follow the ruts going down the side of the fence, Look back and make sure no one from the meth lab is following you, those folks are a bit twitchy... When you get to the end of the ruts you'll be in our back yard. Park anywhere but stay away from all the old cars 'cause of snakes.

I avoid Windows drivers for my hardware unless there is no OEM driver. If the latter is the case, then I need to reconsider my hardware choices... Unless of course the hardware is MS branded, in which case I REALLY need to reconsider my hardware choices...
...Posting as AC because I'm technically a felon. No, really. Now get off my lawn.
If you take into account all the laws on the books in any given jurisdiction, I would bet a lot of people are technically a felon... but not a convicted felon. If you have something on everyone it's easier to make them shut up. If they won't shut up then you make them go away.
Somewhere another phone is getting a scam call at the same time... connect the two calls together and let them tell each other about the virus that has been detected, or overdue tax bill, or grand child in jail...
If humans can't even decide what is "hate speech", what makes anyone believe that an AI system can?
Rule #1: If an opinion or alleged statement of fact, written, spoken, or otherwise transmitted, questions the utility, morality, practicality, or motives of using AI to monitor, judge, and punish "Hate Speech", it shall be deemed to be de facto "Hate Speech".
Rule #2: Any dispute or ambiguity shall be resolved using Rule #1.
What I was wondering was what kind of costs Symantec could attempt to recoup for providing the source... I think the AC below covered it. Thanks Bruce, keep up the great work.

A few years ago I would have said it is the end of GitHub. Now it is most likely to be turned into a zombie
That seems reasonable... ...
If GitHub lets this happen they should already be out seeking BRAINS

From just the summary, they tweaked the enzyme, not the bacteria.
As to the bacteria getting loose, they found it in a dump so it is loose already...
