Wont have to worry about tthat in London.

Its been doing the Indie cirucit and I hope has general release this year.

Perhaps a weakness of GPS in times of war too.

About 18 years ago. You could copy substantial parts of the then Internet. Today that would be a medium size memory stick.

NASA has only enough for about 3-4 more missions before it runs out.

The US doesnt manufacture the kind they need. They got some from dismantling Russian warheads, but no longer. The upcompiong Juno-Jupiter mission was converted to solar power, about the distance limit they can do with solar cells.

Past few years a PE could get almost 6-figures with a BS. Departments jammed with students. Many recent PE grads dont have jobs with the oil price crsh.

The cyncial trend in education has been a NARROWING of offered courses to foucus on all those silly tests kids have to take so school system get more government money and teachers get performance bonuses.

Tech MOOCs was supposed to be a cost-efficient way of remedial education for the half of freshmen who needed it. But it not work. MOOCs are generally for self-disciplined and motivated students, the opposite ot those who never reached 8th grade proficiency levels and need remedial work. Sometimes more tech is not the answer.

Many of the creative geniuses in know, including myself, educated ourselves in technology and other subjects. Either the teaching system couldnt handle use, or was concernerned mosty with average students.

MicroSoft liked a Java-like languge, but found it too slow or rebuffed in suggesting changes to Sun. So htye basically made a hJava-like language themselves. For most of its history its only run in the MicroSoft ecosystem, although there are feeble attempts to make it multiplatform.

The Bible doesnt mention such. And somepeole in Ethiopiia remember it. And there are genetic markers fo Choen genes in some Ethiopians. One city calims to have the Ark of the Convenant.

Paying back is something far in the future of teenagers mind. Maybe you dont get the job you planned or find a finishing is not for you. There are probably a million people or more in the sme boat ast this author and they have to rationalize their life's choices.

Tens of billions trying to create a army in both places.
New power stations, roads that decay quickly, if actually built at all.

Astronomy surveys, particle detectors, seismic surveys. The technology grows a factor of thousand every decade.

The make a quick assessment whether a particle shower is interesting, then store it for future analysis. The four detector complexes have up to 10K subdetectors each, different directions and energies. Then you propose what a certain decay sequence might look like and sift the trillion recorded explosions.

For exeample there were several dozen possible decay paths for the Higgs, but only a handful were detectable in this setup. It took longer to analyze the data than run the machine.
