Sigh, I suspect they have as much or better clue than you do. It's entirely possible that there is no causal effect. Their study doesn't say there's a causal effect, it's says there's a correlated effect. Even the referenced press release states: "The researchers found that living in the most active quartile of drilling and production activity was associated with a 40 percent increase in the likelihood of a woman giving birth before 37 weeks of gestation."
Stop viewing science press releases through the filter of whether it conforms to your world view or your superficial understanding of correlation and causation. That whole correlation isn't causation crap is becoming a mantra around here. People parroting it without really understanding what it means or doesn't mean or whether it even f'ing applies to the article in question.
It'll be borking. They'll drop the flag to start the race and all but one of the cars will turn off their engines 237 ms later once the cars projected the race and realized car #5 would win.
It's one thing for a spoof movie to name the villain "Dr. Evil", but if you're going to go around handing your money to a guy name Pirate based on a too-good-to-be-true get rich quick scheme don't act too surprised when all goes pear shaped.
Which is why I said 'largely' and not 'purely'. The media, congress and many others would have the populace believe this kind of crap happens every day.
And no I've never heard of Timothy McBay. Is he the guy that makes all the shitty movies with the explosions in place of plot ?
A) No you're not going to get investigated for talking about it here.
B) The reason the crazies haven't done it yet is that the crazies, or at least the hyper extreme crazies are largely a figment of the media and congress critters mind. If you're not scared your not voting and watching the small amount of news they interlace between Viagra(TM) commercials.
When I'm working around live wires I will frequently test the circuit, trip the breaker and then re-test the circuit just to be sure. And even after all that I still will occasionally brush wires to frame to make sure I haven't over looked something. I'll readily admit to a bit of irrationality where all that is concerned.
That said I can't imagine buttoning up all that Rube Goldberg contraption, transporting and then setting it to armed without a lot of trepidation that it would just go boom. Maybe the tilt mechanism got stuck in the contact position, maybe there was a short somewhere, maybe maybe maybe.
I'm really curious what his heart rate was the second he threw the switch. Did he have 100% confidence in the design or did he flinch.
What a special kind of conspiratorial stupid you are.
They also happen to be pretty much the same policies as every damn president since Truman. Don't mistake rhetoric about what folks "Would have done if they'd been in charge" with what they actually would have done.
See this is the problem with always using 'anonymous coward'. We need to mix it up and add anonymous idiot, unidentified twit, mysterious prat and others to more accurately describe the poster.
The evidence suggests this is not true. The reaction time of autonomous cars is much faster and they're rarely mucking around texting and fail to notice the car in front has stopped moving. Nor do they over break when the car in front of them slows down to allow some car to merge. This is where most congestion occurs. Humans over reacting when two major roadways converge, say the interchange of two interstates. Autonomous cars will be substantially better at folding those two streams together.
So yes, pedantically rubber banding will still occur but nowhere near as badly as in human driven vehicles.
If all the cars were autonomous the morning commute times could be cut in 1/2 or 1/3rd without changing the speed limit since rush hour style rubber band stop and go traffic would be a thing of the past.
I have a hard time believing that the heads of state aren't already very aware of the surveillance other countries perform on them. If Merkel and Hollande really thought they weren't being spied on by their allies they're clueless gits.
So once it becomes public what do they do, express feigned outrage and use it to pass some new law that doesn't address the issue but does give them some nifty new powers.
I don't think it's as simple as rent control, it's property value and population density. For example:
San Francisco, median income $81K, median house cost $900K (according to Forbes), population density 17K/sq mi (20th in country) Houston, median income $60K, median house cost $180K (according to Forbes), population density 3.5K/sq mile. (88th in country).
Property costs substantially more in San Francisco because there's nearly 5 times the demand per square mile. Similar factors hold true for Boston, New York and other densely populated areas.

No need, just make it up on volume the following week.

Yep you're off the standard left-right conspiracy axis and off into imaginary space.
Nah they just told folks at Parkes to stop opening the microwave door before the timer went off.
