The camera systems cost $1-$5M but do not reduce the necessity of police officers as each ticket the system writes has to be reviewed and signed off by a cop who then also has to be present at court challenges. Since the system in 24/7 each of the camera's thus has to be manned 24/7 as well
So in reality, you just moved 3 cops/camera 'on the beat' from the street into a desk job and thus have less police presence in your city.
So it's not really redacted. It's like all those PDF's that redact text with a black box. The original footage still has to be there and the government will keep it.
If you want to enforce HOV lanes, enforce it, have a cop pulling people in the HOV lane over. Automated camera systems are easily defeated in court (they were sitting in the back seat and I have tinted windows, they were giving me a blowjob, reflections,
Fiber glass doesn't have to mean that things come apart. Formula 1 cars have always been the lowest weight cars yet they are probably the safest cars to have a crash in. Look at the Tesla - goes fast but it is designed to safeguard the occupants in the most spectacular crashes.
The problem is that most car companies are designing cars with frames that minimize cost and maximize profits. A single frame is designed to support 2 or 3 brands and several years worth of value cars to luxury sedans and crossovers, then the rest (mainly market branding) is simply slapped on top and the guts are squeezed in. There is no reason that a company couldn't custom design a safe frame first and build a car around that, but the big (3?) names aren't nimble enough or interested to become that until more Tesla-like companies come along to shake up the market.
Yes, you can (jQuery just encapsulates a lot of 'common' JS tricks). But the post is advocating for the latest framework/library du jour which does the same thing, sometimes faster, sometimes with more options or less code but the same nonetheless. jQuery is fine for what it does. I've tried using Angular, Backbone etc but unless you have something you can build something from the ground up around those libraries, they're quite useless or require a lot of custom implementation when using existing data sources or UI's.
There are theories out there that state that every quantum observation spawns a different universe, one where the spin of a particular electron is left, one where the spin is right. In that theory there are universes that are exactly like ours, just where one decision (such as a person leaving or not leaving a band) is different. Off course the butterfly effect would also mean that from that point on the universes have diverged wildly and in that universe, Stephen Hawking could have never been asked that question, never could have answered it and thus this post doesn't exist anywhere but in our own universe until another quantum observation causes it to duplicate (so by now, there are an infinite number of universes with this post).
Because of serious design flaws introducing security, privacy and slow code issues. KDBUS is a good idea but badly implemented, sending a message is 5-10 lines of code. And you send thousands per second.
Don't file for a fuzzy patent. Read the patents that Tesla filed or other turn-of-19th century patents. They are clear and concise, easy to understand (to the engineer) and easy (with the resources) to replicate including diagrams. These days, I don't understand any of the patents, what they are for or what they do. Companies are patenting entire computer devices (phones, embedded devices) with nothing more than a diagram of what the UI layout could be.
Cost. Flywheels are huge chunks of metal and well-engineered precision metal at that size isn't cheap, they're also a single all-or-nothing unit. Batteries are mainly plastic, acid and some metal. You can replace a few batteries using some very cheap shipping and a single technician. Flywheels typically require engineers from start to finish including repairs and replacements.
I don't know when it became standard to have a 5yo computer that requires keyboard replacement or has cracks. Even with daily rough handling it (student loaner), I have a PowerBook G4 and IBM ThinkPad although both are very much scratched up, still going well without major damage for the last 12 years. Besides the requisite RAM upgrades and battery swaps and an SSD upgrade, I never had to open it up for repairs..
From what I see, people only work on Apple hardware. PC (esp. acer) only gets used for gaming and enterprise drones (playing solitaire/flash games all day). That will probably be the case unless Apple goes into the custom PC building.
The problem isn't necessary running untrusted code. The problem is that the code can without any notice to the user send arbitrary data pretty much anywhere. JavaScript should require user permission to load/post data. This would help with the awful interfaces out there that arbitrarily load data incurring additional network requests and latencies.
We've been hindered by what is basically a cult ideology about unborn life that we cannot do experiments like this (legally) in the west. Now China, India and countries that do not have these religious groups hindering progress are making advances in all sorts of science. It is legal to experiment on creatures that are 98% similar to us, the embryos are practically indistinguishable from ours.
All you need is a solar powered project to convert sea water into potable water. I'm pretty sure $30B will go a long way to set up several projects all along it's coast. Also, converting current pipes from metals to plastic so your sewage systems etc can handle a little bit of salt water, then you don't need to flush with clean water and it's a lot healthier (salt water is inhospitable to a lot of bacteria)
We do alter the genetic material in 'traditional' artificial selection and given the current genetic sequencing methods, we could definitely demonstrate the pathway we'd have taken if we were doing it 'slowly'. But if a crop takes ~6m to become mature enough to reproduce, we'd easily take decades for a simple mutation. Doing it in a lab allows us to skip some steps but you get the same end result.
I don't agree with the patents but AFAIK none of our food is patented nor could it be. I think gene patenting has been completely struck down recently. Yes, there has been research in a terminator gene and it made big headlines a decade ago but further research proved that nature has a way of overcoming these artificial limitations. There is currently no crop outside of a lab that cannot reproduce itself (besides dessert banana's, but that limitation has been around for about a hundred years).
Have you reconsidered a computer career?
