I think chiropractors are mixed, and they run the gauntlet from kooks to legitimacy.

1. I have serious issues impairing movement and causing pain. And had a chiropractor identify the muscle, and the misalignment. Work the muscle, adjust the vertebrate. Suddenly, I went from a very limited range of motion and pain to being able to move and an 80% reduction in pain.

2. I have another chiropractor I've gone to periodically. This chiropractor takes an X-ray of all his patients. He identifies bone growths, anomalies, damage, etc. He does alignments, he also has some tools to adjust. He conducts range of motion tests. He identifies areas that are impaired. He prescribes particular exercises and stretches to improve range of movement.

So yes, chiropractic care can be very scientific and true medical care. But it can also be a lot of crap and pseudo-science.

BTW, for us programmers, one of the best exercises to alleviate a lot of my problems is to hold your head straight, and then pull back with your muscles while keeping your head level. You'll feel it stretch muscles at the very top of the neck where it connects to the base of the skull. This exercise, and just doing it a few times a day, made a tremendous difference. It helps counteract out constant staring down, up, etc. as PC users.

The problem is described as repeated camera reboots. Quite likely the cameras worked as well as ever (not necessarily all that well) when they were working. They just weren't working much of the time. If it is established that's the case, probably the tickets will be reissued. If, OTOH there's any chance that the reboots cause a problem. If for example, there is a recalibration period after reboot that turns out upon scrutiny to be too short, the tickets presumably won't be reissued.

Bad driving existed before and is caused by things other than cell phones.

Your link to a left wing agitprop outlet might be remotely convincing if it linked to anything that supported its numbers.

It's also pathetic that you compare LRA to terrorist attacks, but not to the actually comparable group -- ISIS, which is in fact what this article is about. LRA does not kill as many people as you claim; its annual average is about 3000, basically as many as died on 9/11. On the other hand, ISIS has been killing about 10,000 people every year.

Your arguments are deeply dishonest.

I am kinda curious why they thought the engineers had overlooked safety. It's kinda silly to think they hadn't actually, you know, thought about gravity. Kids today...

Far as I know, the Japanese commuter bullet train has wheels. They had an experimental high speed maglev on a separate test track but it's not in commercial service.

To be 100% fair, many concerts are just the artists lip-synching their own stuff most of the time. The atmosphere comes from other people in the audience. That atmosphere doesn't carry over on a CD though- fans cheering on CD is about as welcome as a laugh track on a sitcom.

Untrue. VME was broken on Ryzen at launch. Fixed with a microcode update.

There are several things in the article that are true: Chiropractors do tend to push the envelope. However, there is a reason that they are on Staff with sports teams, etc.

I injured my right knee in College. Had trouble walking and pain in the knee. Went to my GP who sent me to a specialist who said surgery to fix it. I happened to go down to the beach where my mom sent me to her own specialist (free as she paid, heck was in university). The Chiropractor proceeded to inform me he was on staff with Atlanta Hawks (this was.. what 25 years ago now.. longer) and then worked on my knee for 6 sessions. I no longer had pain and had full strength. What he did was painful as he told me the problem was not the knee but the damage had not been removed in the supporting muscles. He basically pushed and did work that fixed the damage to almost perfect. I maintained a 5-10 degree outward angle as the support muscles had not healed exactly the original. It did not affect my sports, life, in fact I think the surgery would have been worse.

I also had a slipped disk in my back (twice) and time 1: went to regular doctor who gave me drugs... 3 days later I could walk again. The second time I went to chiropractor and walked out of the office. Reason? Slipped discs are back in place.. the problem is my body reacted to it, so she calmed my back and areas with electrical stimulation. My god.. it worked.

I have also had surgery on my elbow due to another sports injury. No pain, but I have lost strength. Before surgery I hit Homeruns regularly, After.. I have yet to hit one. I cant seem to get the speed/strength fully back into it. No pain so I dont complain. It was torn cartilage and so Chiropractor would not have helped I think.

So. Doctors are emergency medicine. I go to them all the time. Chiropractors are great for some things, just be careful... as with regular doctors you get a quack.

What do you call the person who graduated last in class in medical school?
Doctor.

If you look at the actual product, it doesn't move freely in space, it is on a track. There is a rotating section of track like a railroad turntable that allows it to switch tracks.

That is where all of the hyperbole about "any direction, even diagonally" comes from. The thing moves on a track. Having the ability to switch tracks means you can have multiple cars in each elevator shaft, and cars can potentially pass one another.

Since they are installing one of these things in an actual commercial building under construction in Germany, I'm sure they have an emergency braking system.
Looking at the track, it doesn't appear as if it is a "contactless" maglev system. It looks like it is running on some sort of track and using a linear electric motor for propulsion. This means that they could simply use an inertial braking system like regular elevators - if the car goes too fast, braking weights fly out and stop the car.

With a conventional elevator, you're correct about the "it reserves an entire shaft" concept. That's inherent with presence of either the cable, or hydraulic cylinder. Why would that limitation exist with a maglev elevator? There's no need for one elevator car per shaft. I think 4 shafts would work nicely: Up, Down, Ready, Waiting. And only the Ready shaft has a door accessible to the public. You press the call button and the usual case is the door will open immediately since there's already a car waiting there. After you select your floor, that car moves a short distance towards either the Up or Down shaft and proceeds on your journey. Meanwhile, a nearby car in the Waiting shaft starts its own journey to replace the car you just took. As your car approaches your destination, the car already there starts its own journey to a Waiting Shaft slot to make room for your car.

Not unnaturally, many elevators imbued with intelligence and precognition became terribly frustrated with the mindless business of going up and down, up and down, experimented briefly with the notion of going sideways, as a sort of existential protest, demanded participation in the decision-making process and finally took to squatting in basements sulking.

You've got it the wrong way round. If you're claiming doppelgangers or witchcraft as a defense it's not up to the prosecution to disprove them.

Just like you can't just say "self defense" against an assault charge; you have to provide credible evidence that the person was about to attack you.

Given that this malware had a specific purpose - which wasn't recalibrating radar guns - I'd say it made no difference.

I only came here to see if anyone else made this observation.

Kudos.

Somebody shoot this Turbolift denier with their Phaser please.

This is a system involving magnets and conductors, so when the power goes out and the car begins to drop, it could be made to induce a current which generates a force that resists its movement. This is Lenz's law. Maybe they have figured out a way to use Lenz's Law, in this scenario, allowing the elevator car gently come to rest at the bottom in the event of a power loss.

Lenz's Law: The direction of current induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field due to Faraday's law of induction will be such that it will create a magnetic field that opposes the change that produced it.

This is a "Turbolift" and that's what it needs to be called. It's not a Great Glass Elevator at all and I don't know why anyone would get that impression. Nobody said anything about it flying up out of the building and soaring away on its own.
