I found that it's super easy to make human drivers crash with a simple $5 laser.
It's amazing how many of our systems only work with the underlying assumption that we're not actively trying to murder each other at any given moment.
I totally agree with you. I have my 3 year old 128GB iPhone 6S Plus and it's going strong. I see no need to upgrade really. I figured I'd switch when they switched to USB-C and brought back the finger print reader (in display finger print reader preferably). I'll miss the headphone jack though, as I still use it to plug into my wife's car, but I figure it's going the way of the floppy disk. Anyway, with this news, it seems that I'll be waiting longer before I upgrade (cue more poor iPhone sales until Apple figures out what people want).
I think it was a bit more than two years ago that most carriers stopped offering two year contracts that gave a nice discount on the phones. I bet the phone industry is just starting to see the slowdown from that as everyone who might be shopping for something new is seeing the high price tags of a brand new phone. I have an iPhone 6S Plus and it still works great, does all I need it to do. Sure, the new one has a faster CPU and better camera... but it's not $800-$1000 out of my pocket better. If there were two year contracts again and I could get a new phone for half the price, I might consider an upgrade. Till then, I'll stick with what I have.
Yup, that's exactly what I thought too!
But if they were liquidated, then patent trolls would buy all of their IP and then they'd be in court going after the money. So... I guess it's bound to happen?
While I'm all for getting rid of sex traffickers, the line "eliminate a provision that shields operators of websites from being liable for content posted by third-party users" could be a bit scary if it leaves the narrow scope specified. I mean, if it's ONLY applied to sex trafficking websites cool, but I could totally see companies jumping on this bandwagon and holding web hosts responsible for content posted by third-party users. Imagine the copyright lawsuits that would happen. Maybe it's just the cynic in me, but corporations/congress have done this kinda "Look, we're doing something good" with something really terrible as the real intention before.
In the movie Blackhat there's a screen where a hex editor is used to analyze some malware code. The hex code is just random nonsense, but the ASCII conversion contains lines from an erotic novel, but with each word reversed
Here's a screenshot:

Those hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional mice sure are good at getting humans to do all the work to cure mice of all disease and aging.
Sure, if you *cap* the population at 150 during transit, and don't allow multiple pairings within the same generation of course you're going to kill the genetic diversity.
However, if instead of a generational ship we were talking about hibernation until arrival, 150 is enough to begin a genetically viable colony. How do you avoid the risk of inbreeding? Simple: no cap on the number of children, but no full siblings allowed. Encourage as many different genetic pairings as possible.
I'll try this. Looks like an excellent option. Thank you.
I'll consider this but I'm an Open Source advocate and I would like to have the option of customizing the solution.
First the billions of taxpayer money spent on BS renewable energy companies then a failure to move nuclear power forward. Better to have hired a Finance expert.
