80 years from now it could be something else.

It doesnt eliminate the business pressures the pressures that promote whitw & Asian males in the tech business.

Metabolism and lipid storage is such a fundamental part of cells and boday that it may be hard to change it without unintended side effects. For example that amino acid combo that destroyed heart valves a few years ago.

Either as a part of someones service, or general rant apps.

Unlocked cant be the primary reason for pulling someone over in my state. But the cop can add it to a ticket for something else. So they could check if you been texting in the previous five minutes while driving then.

As a MIT grad it mystifies me sometimes. A cyncial point of view might say "follow the money" and perhaps there is a 7-figure lawsuit in the background. MIT ignored a cluster of alcohol-related deaths and suicides, then paid a $6M settlement to one family. They should have reacted stronger to when the DA threw the book at Aaron Schwartz with an order-of-magnitude larger threatened penalty than average hacker case.

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.
