Name one that doesn't.

Why is that when the topic is Climate change, no scientist can ever be wrong or corrupt. But on every other topic they are apparently soo stupid on their own field of expertise random internets people think they worked it all out. Without showing any working I mite add.

Seriously, run the numbers, a gas planet will still have the bulk of its mass as helium and hydrogen. It not that close and these stars are not that hot.

There are very real thermodynamic reasons why a nano tube cable strong enough could be impossible. There has been published papers on it. Also bulk material is *always* much weaker than the material atomic bond strength.

New Scientist is NOT peer reviewed. It is in fact full of quite a lot of crap.

And if more than one person independently come up with the same invention?

That why we use turbo codes, or at least interleaves. The problem with RS codes is that to optimal decode them requires quite a bit of hardware/cpu cycles.

Err no. It is already very clear where liability lies already covered buy existing laws. Equipment failure that costs lives and causes damages are not new. Neither is software failures.

You mean like all the RBMK reactors that are all decomissioned after the very serious flaws in its design where exposed after Chernobyl? Oh wait they still operate almost all of them still.

Russia won't even publish full accident reports and has a awful history with safety. Russia being the only place that runs them is not a point in favor. Quite the opposite.

Oh and liquid salt reactors come in Fluoride or Chloride flavors. Chloride salts are soluble. At elevated (aka operating) temperatures Fluoride salts react with water.

Me.

The thing is they could be really shit and still be better. But, perhaps for the best, autodrives will be held to quite a high standard.

Cars already have mechanical failures that kill people. There more than enough legal examples of how liability works in cases like this.

So when the time comes, get a classic car and get it towed to the race track. Just because you want to here the roar of the motor does not mean the rest of us should put up with the shoddy, slow to react and down right poor wet computer driver.

Not anymore.

A better question is, should we have non override autopilots? Once good enough i say yes. But don't be fooled most planes don't have as much automation as people think.

I was ridding motorcycles over the farm on my own at around 5 years old. Some of my friends started younger. People are just far too risk adverse these days. Not only are you not decreasing risk. But getting no valid tradeoff either. Here in much of the EU very young children get the public transport on their own all the time.
