Truth is before going on about systems with 4K or 5K or any other K display, first and foremost is not how they look when consuming content but how well they work when creating content, now that's the slashdot viewpoint. What it looks like when playing content you buy, excluding all forms of interactive content requiring real processing power, is for the TV guide. Apple has long since hidden it's lack of real processing capability to pump up its profit margins behind a masquerade of pretty pictures and marketing.

Reality is by far the majority of products in the modern market place driven largely by 'exclusivity' compete on PR=B$(lies for profit) and idiot pseudo celebrity endorsement (liars for profit) and of course contaminating and corrupting every internet review web site they can. This of course because in the face of reality, the majority would mock the crap out of the rich idiots buying 'exclusivity' like it means something beyond being a poseur douche.

You are just repeating the same stupidity over and over again, as if that idiot right ideology actually means something. Competition just creates failure in the majority, the winners keep their secrets but it does not matter, inevitably as history has proven they 'ALL' in turn fail, so instead of cooperation you have repeated endless failure.

OHH AHH 'idealised' cooperation, how moronic can you be, without 'idealised' cooperation we would be naked animals screaming in the darkness, which is exactly what you end up with a population of psychopaths, dog eat dog competition, or more accurately rabid dog eat rabid dog because smart dogs actually managed 'idealised' cooperation.

What way works best, hmm, established measurement metrics the report productivity, safety, resource usage and pollution minimisation. Then simply model and simulate new methods that smart people come up and where they show promise try them out in limited trials and where success is indicated apply them across the wider market. Not idiot psychopaths who have no idea other than 'mwah haha' lets have competition and management by failure where management can take credit for the successes and blame everyone else for the by far majority repeated failures, because in reality psychopathic management has no idea what they are doing, which is basically the current model for corporate management.

One could just imagine how you would apply you stupid competition model in pharmaceutical applications. Just administer all and every substance in the population and them when people survive and you cure the problem you have a winner, as for the loses 'er' 'um' the ones that survive can learn from the winners.

Competition is management by failure because that is the majority outcome and success is the minority 'temporary' outcome because success inevitably also leads to failure.

Again you adhere to the fantasy that competition only has winners, the PR=B$ marketing delusion, competition inherently means there must be losers, lots and lots of losers, in fact far more losers than winners and losers as the majority represent a system of continual failure, failure as the majority element of a psychopathic society based upon competition rather than cooperation. So pushing the bullshit of competition with only winners and you never have losers ie repeated failure, just like the standard statistic for failure in small business is 9 out of 10, a 90% failure rate basically in the majority a system based upon failure, hence it's psychopathic insane nature, when applied within a social species meant to be cooperating.

The insane idea that humanity exist to service corporations is, well, insane. Our society exists to service and support us, it has been corrupted by psychopaths to allow them to exploit us to service and support themselves only. The idea that competition is the ideal management solution is a direct measure of that insanity, real fairies at the bottom of the garden stuff. Competition as the solution means failure as a solution. That's was competition versus cooperation is about, competition is about using failure as a normal everyday occurrence and cooperation is about avoiding failure.

Examples of competition in business. Health insurance where people who paid premiums and when they need them the company fails after feeding huge amount of cash in management pockets now have no coverage. In schools it means failed schools put their students through a year of education for nothing, which now has to be repeated. Hospitals where patients suffer and die until they are shut down. Prison where recidivism is a desirable corporate objective, have to keep those prisoners coming back, until the governments that fund them finally shut them down as failures.

Competition is not a sound management principle, it is a psychopathic management principle because it is driven by failure. Even winning companies can still be bought out and mismanaged directly into failure, in fact it is historically inevitable.

Likely that person is confusing efficiency with loss. Induction is less efficient but the energy loss is through the conductive performance of the cables and heat generated rather than efficiency losses through induction. Safety issues, vandalism and of course stupid mistakes all will drive induction as the quickest, safest, easiest method of charging, where that charging is secondary to other services or goods provided at that location. As for airgap, if the induction points are in the front and rear bumper and you provide an impact absorbing buffer at the supply point, gap is minimised.

Nothing says luxury like an exclusive price that the nobodies can not afford. From wine to clothing, price defines quality and egoistic gullibility defines worth. Luxury is no longer about any values other than exclusivity where excluding the majority from it and being able to pose with it, is what it really is all about.

So the real problem is not identity theft at all, the real problem is vendors failing to properly identify the person, allowing a fraudulent transaction to occur and then pursuing the wrong person.

Easy way to solve the problem, charge the vendor with fraud with they make a false claim against person when then vendor can not prove a fraudulent transaction was made against them.

It should never ever be a innocent parties fault who had not part in the transaction, they should not need to prove anything. First in the firing line should always be the vendor for making a fraudulent claim against an innocent party. You can bet it will not take long for vendors and credit providers to tighten up on identification requirement once they start facing penalties for fraudulent charges.

The how is surprisingly really easy, no complicated at all. All you need to do is understand why all, I repeat all, 'isms', social structures fail in modern humanity. It is all down to psychology and genetics. Basically a sub-species of humanity corrupts and disrupts all 'isms' by seeking power and control within that 'ism' by any means possible in order to gratify their own egos and lusts to the point of disrupting that 'ism' and bringing about it's inevitable collapse.

Basically take the psychopaths and narcissists out of position of governance and influence and all 'isms' naturally self correct to serve the humans that form that society. Fail and we see the consistent degradation of a society to a point of collapse. It is all down to nothing more than a developmental disorder resulting from a genetic lack of an autonomic empathic response and the lack of a full range of human emotions. We allow a minority destructive parasitical sub-species of humanity to ruthlessly prey upon and exploit the majority. Make the change in humanity and the 'isms' will self correct.

The US admits to being actively engaged in economic warfare against other countries with rabid psychopathic claims of it being somehow legal and complains, whines and then ruthlessly attacks other countries when they do far less, like threatening to stop using the World $US Bank and cease propping up the US economy. This stupidity is going to get a lot worse being prodded along by the US military industrial complex, screaming for more money now, a lot of other allied countries are going to start getting caught up in the cross fire.

False analogy. This is all about who takes initial responsibility for any action until alternate parties can be proven guilty. So with regards to an online account, it is always the account holder until the account holder can substantiate an alternate individual as the person who actually committed the act. In the case of a responsible authority, the one who provides unsupervised access is chiefly responsible, first up is the school and, next up of course is Facebook itself for failing to properly verify who the user was. The idea that parents should take responsibility for all the actions of the children is stupid, this would entail imprisonment of the children by parents to ensure the legal safety of the parents from all the potential harm caused by the children ie should the children play 'doctor' the parents could be held liable for child sexual abuse as they are liable for the play of the children.

It makes far more sense to skip the space station beyond simple research and head straight back to the moon. Gravity helps, rather than hinders when it comes to colonising and space has no resources to use unlike the moon. Self sufficiency research can be done quite effectively on the earth, the moon is all about achieving launches in a far lower gravity well. When it comes to radiation protection et al light weight earthmoving (moon dust) equipment can achieve much more than trying to get that mass into orbit.
