Evidently we now need Robocops, who will be able to connect a port to the robotaxi and communicate with it.

Based on my personal experience, my impression is that full-sized USB-A connectors are more robust than the others. If, for example, you've got an external device connected to your laptop and you, another person, or the dog may knock the device off the couch or walk into the cable, the cable is less likely to pull out and the connector and port are less likely to be damaged.

Bad analogy. Using drones to seed clouds will have a very small impact on the jobs of pilots - there aren't many pilots who do this kind of work. And it won't have any impact on airline pilots, who are the people who fly airliners, not the small planes that do cloud seeding. Their concern, as the article says, is with drones flying in the same airspace as airliners and with the debris (like "space junk" but at a lower altitude) that the cloud seeding flares generate.

For 20 years, plus or minus, personal computers reversed that idea.

Actually, many plants contain very little protein. Sago, for example, in dry form, contains less than 1% protein. The lack of protein, and specifically, the lack of protein containing certain crucial amino acids, is why it is tricky for vegans for obtain an adequate diet. They have to make sure to consume enough of the minority of plant foods that do contain a lot of protein, such as soy beans.

You're assuming that women who put on water rather than the rose scent are not smelling anything. That is not the case. There are all sorts of odors around us. It is however true that more would be learned by having women put on different scents.

There is absolutely no reason why a word processor, spreadsheet, database, image editor, or other such program needs to send data off-site. Why on earth do people buy a product that insists on doing this when there are perfectly adequate alternatives?

Of course not. For one thing, even if some aspects of language are innate, others surely are not. Aspects of intonation could be innate without any of syntax, with which Chomsky is primarily concerned, being innate.

Precisely. By the time the methane is ready for use as fuel, the other components of initial product have been removed.

Okay, fair point. But the ratio of C12 to C13 doesn't make one source ickier than another. There's no odor or bacteria or anything like that left.

Its just CH4. Unless it has somehow been contaminated, there is no trace of its origin. Without knowing its history, there's no way to tell whether it came from human waste, animal waste, the breakup of organic matter at high temperature and pressure in sedimentary basins, respiration by anaerobic bacteria, or synthetic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide.

It looks like he is Indian, from Jammu & Kashmir. The "back to France" bit is apparently because he had already moved to France and returned to the US for his trial.

Exactly. They are falsely represented as new, but they are real Seagate drives, so not counterfeit.

Why is a passenger tire different?

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.
