I pay no fees for my direct debit card. And transfers within the same country are also free. In fact the only fees i get are from Visa when i use that.
Yea, even here in the EU, "not available in your area" is stupid. I can post a DVD around the world in under a week. Why would i wait 6 months for shows and movies to be finally released here? Bittorrent is available in all areas.
Well all DVD players where sold with the "how to unzone your DVD player" card. My last DVD player (2005 or something), I had to press eject, press up 3 times, the volume down once, press 3 then eject 2 more times. Then it magically became region 0 or region free.
Why is that when the topic is Climate change, no scientist can ever be wrong or corrupt. But on every other topic they are apparently soo stupid on their own field of expertise random internets people think they worked it all out. Without showing any working I mite add.
Seriously, run the numbers, a gas planet will still have the bulk of its mass as helium and hydrogen. It not that close and these stars are not that hot.
There are very real thermodynamic reasons why a nano tube cable strong enough could be impossible. There has been published papers on it. Also bulk material is *always* much weaker than the material atomic bond strength.
That why we use turbo codes, or at least interleaves. The problem with RS codes is that to optimal decode them requires quite a bit of hardware/cpu cycles.
Err no. It is already very clear where liability lies already covered buy existing laws. Equipment failure that costs lives and causes damages are not new. Neither is software failures.
We have fast sodium cooled reactors operating for decades in the old USSR land. If they were such a problem, they would have been decomissioned a long time ago.
You mean like all the RBMK reactors that are all decomissioned after the very serious flaws in its design where exposed after Chernobyl? Oh wait they still operate almost all of them still.
Russia won't even publish full accident reports and has a awful history with safety. Russia being the only place that runs them is not a point in favor. Quite the opposite.
Oh and liquid salt reactors come in Fluoride or Chloride flavors. Chloride salts are soluble. At elevated (aka operating) temperatures Fluoride salts react with water.
At the end of the day, I don't want a computer driving my car, because I enjoy driving my car. I like to keep it in third gear and hear the engine roar for a bit when I'm driving on the highway before I put in fourth. I just don't think I would get the same pleasure if a computer was driving my car.
So when the time comes, get a classic car and get it towed to the race track. Just because you want to here the roar of the motor does not mean the rest of us should put up with the shoddy, slow to react and down right poor wet computer driver.
Do we have passenger jets that the pilots cannot override the autopilot?
A better question is, should we have non override autopilots? Once good enough i say yes. But don't be fooled most planes don't have as much automation as people think.
I was ridding motorcycles over the farm on my own at around 5 years old. Some of my friends started younger. People are just far too risk adverse these days. Not only are you not decreasing risk. But getting no valid tradeoff either. Here in much of the EU very young children get the public transport on their own all the time.
Why is it stupid. Getting rid of the stupid human seems a plus. Our great intuition and abilities kills far more than it saves for such repetitive mechanical tasks.
There are already plenty of similar such things. Many subways and trains around the world have no driver.
The thing is that the volume reduction is about 65x. Quite a lot. In fact with correct on site processing and neutron spectrum control, and sub critialicaly in the right places. A 1GW plant needs a fairly small room to store all active waste for the required times. That is after about 100-200 years, the first stuff you put in there is now safe and can be taken out.
Such a nuclear plant however would be a major R & D project and there is nothing to say it would be cost effective.

Its soo cute that you think cash makes your transactions anonymous.

Trade me in NZ has been doing with direct transfers since forever. And the only scams i hear about with Ebay are via Paypal.
Yet some countries are almost entirely cashless. I wasn't using cash at all in NZ when i left in 2006. Sure you can. But almost nobody does.

The only people breeding are the poor people.
Not all jet aircraft have multiple engines.
Name one that doesn't.

New Scientist is NOT peer reviewed. It is in fact full of quite a lot of crap.
And if more than one person independently come up with the same invention?

Me.
The thing is they could be really shit and still be better. But, perhaps for the best, autodrives will be held to quite a high standard.
Cars already have mechanical failures that kill people. There more than enough legal examples of how liability works in cases like this.

I think you need a new tin foil hat, the current one you have is not working.
