A language dies when there are no longer programmers who are able to code in it. The langauge literally dies as people retire and die off. Well documented languages that are simple to learn will never die. COBAL is dying as a useful language as new programmers stop learning it and people retire. Economics still provide enough incentive for people to learn the language so it is dying slowly. They things listed at the top are still on peoples resumes. So they are not dying

Treaties require a 2/3 vote by the Senate in the US Constitution. This vote creates a local law. The Senate can repeal that law. So like I said. International law only exists if the participating countries enforce it with local laws. The closest thing to international law in the United States are rights. Under American legal philosophy these rights are not created by the Constitution. Rather they are given to man by God or are self evident human rights. Thus privacy, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, our God given rights. They apply to non citizens because God gave those rights to all people.

I liked the show. But this sounds pretty boring. Would rather have the batmobile added to one of the driving sims that support VR.

Yes. It was always legal for them to steal from us. Russia invading Ukraine was also legal.(Russian congress literally passed a law anexing the region) It is also legal for them to nuke a US city. It was legal when the US used sanctions to limit trade with Russia.

All national goverments are above international law. International law only exists if a participating country enforces it with a local law.

It isn't early days for this anymore. There were similar things built in the 50s. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/...
Lots of companies have gotten to the prototype phase of a roadable aircraft. None of them worked liked the cars seen in the Jetsons.

Here it is:

Presumably this is about searching with a warrent.

1) Your bottom two points don't really pan out. A simplified mission means less things to check and double check. 2) The contract was taking crew to the space station. Capsules are proven method of doing that. If NASA is going to spend money on a space plane mission it should have the plane do something else.

I don't know how I feel abou this. If you don't put gass in your car it will also stop. Not putting gass in your car could result in you being stuck in traffic or stalled in a bad neighborhood. These people know their cars are going to stop. They are just trying to push the system and see how long they can drive before they lose the car. As long as it is 100% predictable that the car will stop starting after a given period then I am fine with this.

I said the summary is a rant. I did not read the linked article. The quote appear to have been cut up quite a bit. Notice all the ... in it. The summary starts off with hyperbolic statements, freshly defined jargon, and lots of insults. It contains no news. It is an "Us" vrs "Them" opinion piece with an angry tone. It is a rant.

Insult Insult Insult. No reasonable argument here.

You used science as a noun in your first sentence.

Lets leave the crazy rants to the comment section.

They may have been talking about plants as the invasive species.

They forgot this gem:

You don't get it. Dogs pooing north south creates the magnetic field. Your experiment would cause the magnetic poles to shift.
