Apple really should allow open source OSes after a few years, when the device is no longer sexy. Release the drivers as open source, release some signing keys that would allow boot image signing, etc (but obviously keep it somehow separate so tinkerers can't sign hacked iOS images using those keys), and allow the community free reign.

Obviously they are afraid someone will make an OS that, when run in a 2012 iPad, can beat the 2017 iPad...
I'm not defending the Sentinel in any way, but maybe the author could've avoided downloading other people's passport information. An alternative way to confirm the vulnerability would have been to only access their own data from private mode or through VPN. That way they could prove that the vulnerability exists without getting implicated in an unauthorized access charge.
Should have, but didn't. At least not for manned spaceflight. We learned how to keep humans alive in space way back with the Gemini project. A long-duration orbital sojourn could have been had for the cost of the ISS. At the end of the day, I struggle to think of a single big thing we can do post-ISS that we couldn't without.
On the one hand this is super exciting, I even cried. On the other hand, it makes me feel miserable: am I wasting my life? What have I done? Meanwhile Elon is sending reusable rockets to the space.
That roadster was not cheap. This is no scrappage scheme going on here. The first roadster cost many tens of millions of pounds, maybe hundreds. Subsequent units were cheaper as they just used the tooling from the first ones, including this one. Compared to a satellite this roadster cost a fair bit in R+D, just not for picking up hitchhikers in space though...

While I'm a C++ fan, I'd readily concede it's much closer kin to (verbose) German than (laconic) English.

Come on. Make those trolleybusses (which share most advantages of rail if they get dedicated driving space) and infrastructure problem almost disappears if they have proper batteries to drive like buses through less dense areas.

The problem is not last mile. It idea that last 30 miles are not viable to run extended routes through as it gets too slow to follow the winding paths as plain buses.

The solution is actually pedestrian traffic and biking optimization for last few miles access, not tossing more cars at the problem. Not building areas in cities with crummy access to public transport. Making it less necessary to carry heavy loads personally relying on improved delivery systems instead. (Which should also create some jobs.)
And there's still more!

Okay, I think we have space to engage but first let's disengage on one thing - 'want.' I showed you quotes from Chinese citizens who want their own rating system, if we're talking about the morality of what's proposed in this article then 'want' has nothing to do with it. Certain individuals in the US want this, certain individuals in China want Social Credit, yet you see one as a human rights abuse and one as not so 'want' or 'desire' for such a system is not going to be a determining factor in which is good and which is bad.

Consider a freelance camera man, or freelance carpenter. At the JohnDoeCameraMan.com webpage, he has:

+ customer testimonials

+ customer references

+ endorsements

+ portfolio of previous work from past customers (film credits, film stills, etc)

Exactly! Because you're not going to use the freelance carpenter that doesn't have at least a few of those things right? In fact, basically (or completely) no one will. So the freelance carpenter is compelled by the market to offer at least a few of those things on his website. I wouldn't call that voluntary because his livelihood depends on having a few testimonials or endorsements. To him it's exactly the same whether individuals in the market refuse to buy his service because he has no testimonials or whether the government tells him he can't sell his service because he has no testimonials. Both situations are equally voluntary (which is to say not at all.)

Now if you had a much more objective measure out there, a lifetime score where you can never hide any blemish, which is systematic across time you'd be much more likely to use that right? After all testimonials, good experiences, bad experiences, it's all in there. The basic problem here is that the market is going to prefer a lifetime unscrubbable rating history. It's straight up more information. So carpenters and camera men will be coerced into this system - the same one that you believe violates human rights.

>I'm not convinced that an optional portable rating system creates a defacto forced system. None of the previous social signals of past work history has created a defacto forced itemization of customer references & testimonials.

Yes, you don't have to itemize it any specific way, but you still have to have them and that's the point.

>Who is "we"? Are you speaking for the freelancers who _want_ their portable ratings?

Do you think the Chinese should stand against Social Credit? What about the ones who want it?

>Do you believe a carpenter should delete "customer testimonials and references" from his website because if he leaves it there, it makes it unfair for the other carpenters who don't have customer testimonials?

No because testimonials aren't held across all time, in the current system I can start over.

My problem with both rating systems is twofold. (1) the idea that it erases a right to be forgotten and (2) that people will be coerced into the system.

I absolutely hate Facebook, but I think Snap is really getting 'social media' right. There's no political nonsense or advertising being shoved down my throat, just endless cat videos and memes from my friends the way it should be. When my friends post something, it's guaranteed I will see it. There are options for group chat and 'forum' style communication, but the core experience is intimate and private. They're doing all the right things IMO (for now).

Some pivot irrigators are also robots.

A combine is already well beyond the ability of an individual grain farmer to replicate. The best they can do is buy commoditized combines. And those are only commoditized now because of the vast area devoted to cereal crops. The robots required for more specialized crops will be more expensive at first, until some patents expire, and even then the number of potential competitors will be limited by area under cultivation.

You cannot start a new cereal-crop farm without a hefty investment in capital. You just can't. At best, you would be renting other people's robots, and that might be costly enough to prevent you from ever buying your own.

An onion farmer may yet be able to build a better onion robot. If they do not, someone could invent one, and either eat up existing farmers' margins with rental fees, or simply start a new farm and undercut those existing farmers from lower labor costs. But that startup would need to have the robots.

A trunk-shaker harvester robot might be cheaper than human pickers, but they can damage trees and may cause damage to the harvested fruit. A robot equipped with a camera and a vacuum-assisted hand might outperform it for apples, but be useless for olives. The olive farmer might need a robot with flailing rods. It is still possible for an individual farmer to innovate their own robots specialized to a particular niche crop.

We're already seeing farmers in India committing suicide because they can't keep pace with the gene-edited seeds and robotic combines from industrialized farms. It seems inevitable to me that companies like Monsanto and John Deere will be able to squeeze individual farmers on a technology-yield treadmill such that if they ever miss a step, they fall off. And once they fall off, they can never find a way to get back on. Because they are not the people building the robots. They get left behind just as fast as everyone else not building newer technology.

I've gotten a lot of utility out of adding voice controls and some simple automation to my apartment. Things like turning out the lights from bed with a voice command have been quite nice.

Basically none of these have good websites. When I'm looking for a CSS framework or like, UI tricks like scriptaculous then I think it's a good signal, but past that I really think there's no link here. Really "has a good website" means "someone who knows how to build good websites built one for this project".

Perhaps. I hadn't considered that. I guess there's just a part of me that envisions a bright future for humanity that includes a more mature culture that isn't as concerned with material possessions. Kinda like a Star Trek world. Ah well. I'm sure it's extremely unlikely and the SpaceX engineers took this into account, but I hope the Tesla doesn't do something we don't expect, like ram into Mars and contaminate it with Earth-borne bacteria. :/
They have a bigass vacuum test chamber, you can bet they did their homework and every container that might end up pressurized had a hole in it to allow the leveling of the pressure. No point taking chances with something like this, it only has to look good, it doesn't have to drive.

People...
Tell them that it's just a currency, but unlike a normal currency where the government has control, nobody has control.

Then there's a big sheet of paper where the transactions with their amounts are written and shared with everybody, that way everybody knows how much each of them has. So when they receive money, they know that whoever sent them has money.

Then just raise up the simple problem of you copying that last transaction and transferring money to somebody else before everybody knows that you did the first. You can just say that there is a system that waits until that other transaction is processed and be done with it. It makes no sense to actually explain in more depth even to a savvy user...

even if you do explain, it will be like when they try to explain poverty in the third world to Americans... they can even see the picture, but they won't understand because they've never lived it.

In the end, all you do is to think that you managed to explain something but the other party didn't really understand you

That or simply timing issues. The center core should be faster than F9 is when it's coming in for landing, so if the compensation for that wasn't worked out quite right (possibly due to extra weight in addition to the velocity difference) that'd pretty quickly get it coming in too hot.

After all, it's only a few second difference between 'nominal' and 'way too hot' with the suicide-burn style landings.

When I was growing up, my parents would give me their 5 year old hand-me-down computers, which were already 4-5 years old or so. the iPhone 4 is 8 years old, so that would already be DOA for my teenage self.
I believe they are required as part of FAA regulations to ensure that no manned craft are within 15 miles of the landing zone? Something like that, at least, which would complicate a tether-based approach.

In 2014 the US was spending ~ 6.5% of household expenditure on food, on the lower end compared to the listed European nations (Germany, France, Italy, and Greece in particular).

There are many other links with a similar premise.

My own travels have taken me to Spain, Denmark, France, Germany, England, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, and Canada - other than Vietnam I've always found prices to be comparable or greater than in the US. Obviously the cost is influenced by what you are buying, what is in season, and where you are a shopping. YMMV though!

You don't need - and you don't even should - launch all pieces at once. You can launch them into the same orbit so they meet at some point. It's easier to make the parts meet in Martian orbit because the distances allow for finer corrections over longer periods of time. It doesn't matter if some pieces arrive months or years before others as long as they are all there when it's time to assemble the station.

A Falcon Heavy can take about twice as much cargo as a shuttle could to the ISS. This means the launch costs of upgrading/refurbishing the ISS, or even replacing it, just got much lower, and the whole process requires half as many launches (and the modules can, now, be bigger than the shuttle payload bay).

I assume the BFR should be able to take, with a non-reusable second stage, almost a whole space station, ready for assembly. Or to carry large modules, such as a centrifuge, so that astronauts don't need to be continually exposed to microgravity during their entire stay in orbit.

And with the full BFR, it can return ISS modules to the ground for study or refurbishment which, I assume, is valuable as it allows the study of structures and materials exposed to space for decades, as well as reflight of existing and already validated components.
