Li-Ion batteries already go up in nice flames. Consider what you would get with 40% more energy and sulphur getting burned off into the air.

We now have much more advanced robots. And robots just need energy, which can be collected from sunlight. No water, food, air. If we go back we would first do it with non-humanoid remote controlled robots. I see that leading on to humanoid telepresence systems with humanoid devices remote controlled from earth. Sure its a time lag, but it would give long term presence at a lot lower cost.

Earlier reports came out in 2011

Claims less energy inputs, less expensive equipment to make and shape and stronger results.
If the money savings and benefits are there I would have expected it to have been scooped up and monetized by now. Unless there are real IP issues preventing it from getting accepted.

Fees can vary by country: https://www.kickstarter.com/he...

For the US 8% to 10% comes off the top. It pays to be a middle man. Especially a middle man with a good reputation who brings in eyeballs.

If your project is successfully funded, the following fees will be collected from your funding total: Kickstarter's 5% fee, and payment processing fees (between 3% and 5%). If funding isn't successful, there are no fees.

Do you live in a neigborhood of all like minded individuals? Those little enclaves of similar people are part of the problem. It brings the us and them attitude when this community is tight and that community it tight but the two communities are very different and look at each other as different.

We can't have dots of little isolated communities, we have to be one big community.

When you can't trust your neighbour not to go on a shooting rampage society has already failed. What we need to do is spend money on building up social structure. Street parties, neighbourhood parties, things that bring people together and strengthen the social structure.

Going all "report your neighbour" is going to build up the walls of distrust and lead to more problems.

It is not extortion if you are the law.

Seems like the system is very very broken in the good ol' US of A.

Every episode needs a lot of things -
a) writing staff and expenses
b) actors/puppeteers and expenses
c) lighting equipment and crew
d) sound equipment and crew
e) camera equipment and crew
f) director, accoutrements and expenses
g) accountant, producer and expenses
h) pay for the rights for the original movie -> in perpetuity!! Must become attached to this show. So someone licensing this show does not have to go back and also license the original
i) craft services
j) sound stage
As they mention in the article part of the problem is people were not paid union before. Typical of a small station fly by night done for love project. They want to actually pay people properly at current wages.

Likely the GPS is subject to path jitter. You might run in a straight line but the GPS path will suffer jitter of 10's of meters or more to each side of your straight path. For overall distance it adds up all those imaginary zigs and zags and boom, long run.

Many countries in the world require the ability to search computers brought across the border. You can be detained if you fail to provide access such as passwords.
Do not take precious data with you. Leave the data safely at home and connect securely.
Use secure cloud storage or even secure storage back at home base and connect using a secure VPN.

For the OS. The OS needs 8G. That leaves 4G for the game. Mostly textures and polygons.

Have they factored in epigenetics into this? Where the gene is there but not expressed. Seems to me a lot of generation to generation adaptation can be explained by epigenetics and simply brining out already present factors.

The whole "15 years" thing in the summary should be in generations. That is like forever in botfly generations, yet nothing in land tortoise generations.

If some famous person endorsing a presidential candidate has value then so to does you recommending a movie to a friend. There is no threshold for value only scale. Every positive or negative valuation exchanged would then have value theoretically creating taxable events.

"Nice car" -> you just increased the value of his car.
"Your lawn needs mowing" -> decreased the value of the house.
"You look good today." -> contributed to their self worth. Equivalent to time with a therapist.

Speech must always remain free. And not a value transfer.

So when everyone in the US posts for or against a US presidential candidate every single one of the posts is a campaign contribution under this ruling. It will not matter if the post is positive or negative or if it is to one person in an email or to your family or to the world. This Judge has ruled that an online comment is considered a contribution to a campaign.

So much for free speech. It now all has value and that value has been weighed.

HTTP is a pull protocol. The client pulls data from the server. Bandwidth usage is a resource. The more that is required to download to render a page the longer it will take. And where users pay for usage, the more it will cost the user.
Page render time is a high end user criteria and end users should expect to be able to have the client pull only the content they want to improve performance.

The web site producers only have themselves to blame for creating sites loaded with massive visual and data bloat.

Using a computing device to perform optimizations for the benefit of the user is normal usage. Nobody should be surprised by the use of ad blockers.
