Isn't all that airline and air traffic related stuff still stuck in the 70s? And where it is not, it has to be compatible to systems stuck in the 70s? What about non-ASCII letters in your name? Or at least case sensitive passenger names? On my tickets, my name and middle name get mushed into something unreadable that has nothing to do with my name.

Why should have there been a suit?

Did Mercedes and Porsche do anything to stigmatize Honda? No? See, that's why.

I agree. But that's why I use Threema or whatsapp and not some text messages on steroids contraption.

Isn't that the downsides of SMS and IRC combined?

Only if it would be guaranteed that the sensor fails into the "seat occupied" state and never gives "seat empty" when not. That would lead to exactly the same situation where a single accidental press of the seat button would jam the pilot into the steering.

That would just add another point of failure.

Mechanical security (button cover that works without getting stuck in the open position) or an additional release button that requires two hands to actually activate the seat motors would be simpler

OK, so the drug legalization failed because people didn't accept the new offers for help as much as if would have been required, but WHY were the offers refused?

It's the ability to get a highscore in an IQ-Test. And it means that you are doing good in whatever 5 (plusminus) fields are tested in your IQ-Test. Usually language, math, memory, logic, spatial thinking.

Will this in any way have an influence on your life, career, happiness or karma? Only if you are somehow building them on language, math, memory, logic, spatial thinking, which of course you could do. Which is possible e.g. by picking a career that requires those.

Yes, it's a good start to give a rough estimate of ones mental capabilities, but it's not helping the slightest if you are a jerk.

Coal and nuclear powerplants are immune to EMP? Electricity in the grid is effected differently by EMP based on what pumped the electrons into the wire?

So what happens when they run out is someone else's problem so don't care.

Nucular. The word is Nu-cular

Not directly linked. When demand for electricity rises because of Bitcoin mining and A/C, then you plain and simple need MORE electricity.

Yes, managing the grid is more difficult with variable sources, but far from impossible. (Demand from crypto mining e.g. could be matched to the variable production) It's a solved problem, so there is no reason when new power generation needs to be build, to not have that renewable.

Biggest problem with solar or wind is not having them.

So if the government says slavery is illegal, all wages and salaries have to by paid from government funds?

Well, I can't blame them for trying to max out the carry-on policies as airlines are actively discouraging checking a bag with high fees and long waiting time for drop of and retrieval. (ok, second is mostly the airport, but having a checked bag included or not is their decision.

I'd ban wheels. If it has wheels, it's not CARRY on.
