It is cargo-cult management. Instead of engineering a car that would not elicit these words in a serious manner, they just ban the words.

If you look at Ansel Adams' photographs from the early part of the 20th century the areas he photographed were devoid of trees and brush- fire prevention has created a huge backlog of flammable materials in the forest. Many of the photos he made cannot be taken now because of so much overgrowth.

True- and large cryogenic tanks and associated filling equipment are probably more realistic on a large aircraft then on public automobiles.

Except that there are chemical limits that put a real ceiling on the energy density of batteries

I know the difference between a distorted strat and a bad cd ;-)

Uhm where? 30k plus anywhere I look.

Actually almost all of the commercially available hydrogen comes from natural gas, not electrolysis.

It's not that they skip- they start crackling and have a gravely kind of noise. Noticed this on my early 80's copy of 'Are You Experienced' almost 15 years ago.

Running a network is expensive and a security/liability nightmare (as Sony found out) I don't have a problem with them charging for a service where identity is important.

Unfortunately I have not been in a single HR/Hiring situation where this is important.

I wonder what mass of carbon had to be burned to create the aluminum? Not exactly sure how carbon fiber is made but it could come at a lower initial energy cost.

I have lost 2 stone / 28 lb / 13kgs over the last 18 months after I scrapped my car and started cycling to work (7 miles each way). I have no interest in going to the gym - no time for that - and I'm not particularly bothered about sport. If I had kept my car I would inevitably drive whenever I was going to be late for work, which would be all the time. So what worked for me was to leave myself no option other than to do exercise every day.

Or you are explaining the use of a well defined library in a peer reviewed journal. Using a new untested library would be suspect.

If consciousness is uncomputable, yet we quite clearly could generate consciousness if we were able to create/duplicate a brain, does this imply then that the brain is doing a higher level of computation? Perhaps the difference between polynomial and exponential, or perhaps something new entirely. If the brain is uncomputable then does this imply that P = NP using an appropriate computer (brain)?

Apparently all you need to teach math with is a baseball bat.
