And if man had been meant to fly, he'd have been given wings. Yeah yeah. Now move aside. My vehicle is set to "assertive" mode.

Depends whether the act defines "Health Information" logically i.e. "Information about your health" or whether it defines it in some silly overspecific way such as "information held about people by the following kinds of agencies and companies".

I haven't read the act, but my guess is it's not defined in the first way alone.

Just sign this crap ton of forms.

Do we need an extra constitutional right to the control of, and knowledge about, personally-identified data collected about us?

Good luck with that I know, given that we're all face-taggable by facebook, google, and the local police department already, not to mention the feds.

Why not replace the download with an error message stating that you need to upgrade to version whatever.

Since they already know which versions of what have critical security flaws.

Too obvious?

Not as good for the bottom line as selling a library flagging tool?

thermonuclear warheads on ICBMs are hydrogen fusion bombs. I believe they are initially triggered with a smaller fission reaction.

Let me see, will a hydrogen fusion reaction work in space?

If I could only get the Sunlight out of my eyes, I could google that on my smartphone for you.

I think you want to land nuclear reactors with ion thusters on the surface of the NEO, a long time back from possible impact.
Ideally with some technology that can convert material on the object to the right kind of ionized gas.

Energy = mv^2 /2 so you accelerate the ions in a beam at extremely high velocity, electrically.

You need a control system to only send out the ion beam each time a tumbling object is facing the correct way.

You run the ion thrusters for months or years, and hope for the best.

again?

Or just an identity check using a neural-response scan while certain questions are being asked:

The pilots should have reasoned: "Engines not responding to control. Since the engines are still at least giving us high power, we should climb to a height that gives us options, then try some things to fix the problem, or figure out how to cut the engines completely and glide in, having enough height to get the setup of the difficult approach just right."

Of course the maintenance program manager for the aircraft manufaturer should have reasoned: "All maintenance procedures should be performed by checking off, in an app, a detailed automated checklist of steps, such as restoring custom-data files. The maintenance software app should not permit maintenance to be signed off as complete until the automated checklist is all checkmarked. and it goes without saying that all such step-by-step procedures should be verified as complete and working before being included in allowed maintenance procedures of operational aircraft."

My printer at home does it every time it starts up.

Too bad the airplane doesn't.

I guess production delays are more expensive than debugging-by-crash. Sad.

before our robots became cheaper than their workers, and capable enough to do the job.

Don't be fooled into thinking this trend is much of a local employment boon.

(Unless you're a robot.)

And this would make the testing of my Oscillation Overthruster version 2 prototype in my basement so much easier.

Right now having to hot-wire to the medium-voltage side of the pole-top transformer is such a pain.

We will have solar panels but lots of partial-array shading so no series-strings for us thus no high DC voltage and sadly, no Tesla Powerwall.

Instead, we'll go for a large 24V LiFePO4 of LiYFePO4 battery pack, and re-use some of our existing house circuits for 24 V DC for LED lights and 24V fridge and freezer. The 24V or 48V RV/Yacht fridges/freezers available are 5 to 10 times more energy efficient than standard "Energy Star" AC fridges.

Then we'll run a cheap DC/AC inverter or two for running laptops from the DC system.

Laptops, lights, (beer) fridge. In summer, what else do you need really?
