I heard a talk from the Washington Post managing editor at Denver University last month. Like the New Republic, Bezos is pushing hard for an "all media" platform. But the WP workers sounded happier, probably becuase Jeff is also pouring money into it and hiring instead of firing.

None at FB, but some as Obamas 2008 social media manager. This abrupt change of company direction probably could have happened better.

The "toys" are only a pound or two. But drones being conssidered for farm or foresting work are more substantial. they carry fuel and payloads.

Running across concrete all day in minimally air conditioned buildings and under the uncaring eye of the computer clock for not much more than minimum wage. I read several exposee articles in the past few years about this. Unons and liberal governments were about to crack down on difficult considitons. And now they may not need to. Some things are better left to machines.

There are now much stricture environmental limits on metals emission like toxic mercury. Not having to add expensive scrubbers is as much of motive for converting to natural gas as cost. 40% less CO2 emissions per megawatt is not a primary motive but a beneficial side effect.

If the solar cells dont optimize the solar incidence angle, the power could be cut in third. Power is kind of tight on ISS now, In the mid-2000s a shuttle mission replaced a broken bearing wheel on half of the solar cells. It would be much slower to replace such now without the shuttle.

People could move between them in times of danger. Must develop a "standard docking port". Most of the world uses ISS ports. And likely the Chinese xeroxed when they stole the specs.

I did supect in smaller percentages than name engineering schools. A couple months of web coding does not make a software engineer.

Everyone here would love to know that, but the school lawyers have sealed the evidence in both situations.

Named after the Star Trek character who always beats his time estimates because he did it already.

The year 2005 as start year was the peak coal-electricity year. Abundant, cheap methane discoveries have ead to switch over a third of electricity generation to natural gas and cut CO2 15% since 2005.
Another 13% to goal. New coal plant regulations and the car mileage laws willl reach most of that.

The goal is to get the degree, not learn things.

(techicallly there have been five since Columbine) In the December 2013 Arapahoe High School shooting and the July 2012 Aurora theater shooting the student gunmen's anger was well known to school mental health officials. The evidence for both cases is under court seal while the various lawsuits work their way through the system.

Police hung around a couple hours outside while waiting to decide it was safe and where to enter. They are more proactive now.

Our company would have used it as a platform then.

So Abrams can deny any continuity with the original six episodes, just like Star Trek rebooted.
