Of the ones listed, self-driving cars seems the most realistic. But the biggest change is going to be the transition to electric vehicles. Take a look at the last GM workers' strike - the disagreement was over what to do with electric car production, as the production of an EV requires less labor than the production of a gasoline-powered car. So, here's my prediction: by 2030, the vast majority of automobiles manufactured by the major car companies will be electric.

This virus transmits human-to-human, causes pneumonia, and has a roughly 3-4% mortality rate. What else do we know that is useful information? What prophylactic measures can we take?

Vancouver BC. BC.

Prediction: Google and Microsoft will do the same thing very soon. The loser will be Intel - unless Intel licenses their design or gives them a STEEP discount.

Where have we seen this before?

Features: mixed bag for a truck, really good for a crossover.

Price: outstanding

Aesthetic: Retrofuture dystopia, which, if you think about it, Trump is the President, so.........

If your system isn't designed with security in mind from the start, the level of insecurity in your system goes up by a lot. And like any new product, IoT isn't designed with security in mind. So we get nonsense like this.

Great idea. They should claw back those bonuses they paid to their executives to pay for those improvements, too.

This statement of OP's is mostly correct with regards to Oregon law. Quoting ORS 8:11.260 (4) (bolding mine):

Steady circular yellow signal. A driver facing a steady circular yellow signal light is thereby warned that the related right of way is being terminated and that a red or flashing red light will be shown immediately. A driver facing the light shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, shall stop before entering the marked crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if there is no marked crosswalk, then before entering the intersection. If a driver cannot stop in safety, the driver may drive cautiously through the intersection.

Scene: the engineering lab of an ATM manufacturer.

"Flush the cache, you absolute dumbfuck. The cache."

We could phase out fossil fuels in favor of wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal, hydroelectric and tidal power, replace most if not all of our motor vehicle and shipping fleets to electric, and phase out most or all of our fossil fuel heating and cooking in favor of heat pumps and electrical elements. With the right market incentives we could get this accomplished by 2030, and it would far cheaper and less disruptive than geoengineering the planet or letting things continue as they are.

There's more information on what this is here - but from what I'm reading, it looks like new viruses can emerge from vaccines, and those viruses would then need to be vaccinated against. Per CDC, poliovirus 2 emerged from poliovirus 1 vaccines, and then poliovirus 3 emerged from polio 2 vaccines. Apparently everyone thought poliovirus 2 had been eradicated in the wild in 2015, and so new vaccines only vaccinate against poliovirus 1 and poliovirus 3, and provide no immunity to poliovirus 2.

So yeah, if I understand correctly - and I'm no expert - then this is an emergency. Hopefully someone with an actual PhD in virology and a Slashdot account can correct me if I'm wrong.

Calling the Himalayas a "pole" is a massive abuse of terminology. The polar regions are called polar because they refer to the "ends of the axis" on which the Earth could be considered to spin. This terminology has found its way into discussion of magnetic poles as well, since the Earth's magnetic field just happens to have poles close to the geographic poles. The Himalayas aren't poles in either sense. They have a massive amount of ice. There's more elegant language to describe that, and I wish the Guardian, or at least Slashdot, would use it.

According to Wikipedia:

He is a Republican who was elected in November 2016.

That's going to be a big part of the reason why this amendment will struggle to make it out of committee. He'd be better off trying a ballot initiative.

Let's look at the facts:

• China is buying Twitter ads denouncing the HK movement as violent.
• Twitter is blocked in China

So who are the ads targeting? What is the audience?

The answer is: the rest of humanity.

Let's not be fooled, then.
