What about groups of autonomous vehicles containing kids that are monitored on their
way to and from school by the school or some service or authority? This authority is
responsible for maintaining contact with the vehicle and dispatching help if there is a problem.
Kind of like a 3rd-person view taxi or schoolbus.

Their fluid is boiling, phase transition takes a lot of heat out without pumping anything.
That's the key point.
If you have a pot on your stove filled with water at 211 degrees F, it will absorb 1000 calories and then the pot will be at 212 F.
But then the pot will absorb 540,000 calories before it gets to 213 F.
looks like the specs for both of them are about the same . 49C/120F boiling point, 88kJ/kg specific heat.
It seems to be 99kJ/kg at it's boiling point of 45C/120F
For all practical purposes, I just thought coolants increase in temperature to their boiling point and just stay there (or a little higher if under pressure like a car radiator or pressure cooker)
That would mean systems with this fluid would reach 120F and basically go no further (unless ALL the coolant boiled off, which I doubt would happen)
I hope it's cheaper than Fluorinert, which I remember reading was hundreds or thousands of dollars a gallon.
See... it's all been written. Everything he writes will be unoriginal and derivative. It's the end of writing.
...it is arguably "stealing reputation" (depriving another of their reputation and taking it for yourself).
I've referred to it as "reputation fraud," but yes, we appear to be in general agreement.
I see this old semantic game blooms anew on Slashdot. "It isn't stealing". Fine. It's fraud. Don't worry that your reputation is shot and/or somebody else is trading on your good name. It isn't stealing. Oh... the victim feels much better now.
I don't understand; what are you complaining about? You're correct. It isn't theft, it is fraud. So why call it theft when it's clearly something else?
If you call it by the correct name, you'll get community support, even among the "copying is not theft" crowd. OTOH, if you call it stealing, then you'll get mired in a gigantic semantic dogpile as hundreds of people re-litigate what constitutes "stealing."
We don't even need to raise the "Is it stealing?" question in this case. It's clearly fraud. So call it "fraud." Geez...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DOING ON SLASHDOT?!?
You want to spread whiny, partisan, maliciously misleading horseshit? Go to RedState or Breitbart; that's their stock in trade. It doesn't fscking belong here. Get this garbage off Slashdot now.
But people naturally compare them anyway.
You have to admit there are lots of tasks that don't require realtime control where people could choose either system.
I think the Arduino shield system is brilliant, and the equivalent on the Raspberry Pi is not as well thought out. This is the biggest shame of all.
My top few wishes for the Pi would be:
- a well-thought-out, open shield system
- 4 support holes at the corners instead of 2 in the middle
- maybe a better case design - all ports along one side maybe?
- an SD card that would insert fully
The Raspberry Pi is wonderfully standardized, but the Arduino seems to evolve in a darwinian fashion because many vendors can make them.
The Arduino comes up a little short in tcp/ip connectivity, where the raspberry pi is brilliant from the start.
Professionals do the job and get paid.
They did neither.
End of argument.
"Hey, kid. If you get down in that mine, dig out the coal, and bring it back to me, I'll pay you.
What self-serving sophistry.
"Contracts" or not, the developers' reaction was the correct one.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
