I'm not sure how many new sewers liquidating the ISRO will buy you...

Minimum wage or not, automation would have killed low paying jobs eventually.

Ever heard about the Whiskey on the Rocks incident?

I know what you mean. I live in Luxembourg and the whole Petite Bourgeoisie drives Audis or beamers. (said the Volvo owner) PS: Honestly, what's (really) wrong with Volvos?

I seem to remember a publication in Nature from 2013. Seems the Germans already did something comparable a few years ago. Over 20m distance that is.

Did you ever hear about quadrature modulation?

I'm afraid the accuracy of the predictions are the least relevant thing here, they are merely a political tool on behalf the bank. Don't believe me? This bank sponsored (until very recently) a political party of its own, which made its way into the Danish parliament. They, too, are Ayn Rand worshippers and their whole anarcho-libertarian view lines up very well with those of the bank's founders.

To give you an idea of the political viewpoints of Saxo Bank making the predictions: They made their own translation of Atlas Shrugged into Danish and give it to all new employees with instructions to read it (according to a Danish newspaper quite a bit of time ago).

Well, Sullenberger did seem to manage with his A320, though. In the end, it comes down to the pilot knowing the plane's behaviour and capabilities.

There is no substitute for soot and thunderous noise. I thought that would be just the thing for you USians?

Sorry. But that title belongs to all the tricked-out BMW boyracers in their 250kkm+ wrecks, the idiot who transplanted a Honda VTEC into his old VW Golf Mk I and all Skoda drivers frustrated at the fact they couldn't even afford a VW.

The Volvo XC60 has had this feature from the launch of the first models in 2008, if my memory serves me right. I can confirm that it works rather well on our XC60. It only detects obstacles in front of the car, though.

Yes, that was a cheap shot. I deal with French engineers on a daily basis and I am not under the impression that they should perform worse than their American equivalents.

In fact, our subcon has a French FAE working very hard to fix all the regressions and firmware bugs produced by H1B workers in Silicon Valley.
