This was the general medicine-remote-island-delivery approach ;).

The LH2 ramjet could probably be made to launch from a <100m long catapult, I once did a few calculations and UHMWPE fibers should allow accelerating within iirc. 50m to Mach 0.7 with something like a large (half-ton, due to the energy density) steel coil spring (like in a watch, just a "little" larger) at the muzzle and that coiling up the rope pulling an iirc. 100 kg aircraft with a sled or so, due to the ramjet not delivering enough thrust at lower speeds. The side effect would be that because they gain thrust with speed (up to a point, for the LH2 constellation somewhere over Mach 3), there would be plenty of thrust to spare, and combined with the high structural strength necessary for the catapult, and the lack of vertebrae on board, turns up to about 30~50 G are feasible, all at near ground level.

While there is certainly an appeal to this, and the technology being sufficiently low-tech for a home shop (I am just going to refer to Sam Zeloof's garage wafer fab), any attempts at building something like it as a large hobby project would be futile for there being no way to test it outside of a remote desert area or the ocean, both rather inhospitable to a one-man flight crew. There are reasons supersonic aircraft are not tested over inhabitation. It would not be nice to a street it could technically fly through, unless the buildings are already blast proof.

And a hobby project of that scale you can't even play with will not be worth it.

(If you happen to know how to play with something like this despite the supersonic-over-land ban, please divulge your secret.)
I am intrigued by the copyright notice: "A single copy may be downloaded and read but not printed or distributed in any manner without express written permission."

I'm not sure what that even means for a document these days. I can't remember the last time I printed something other than an official document (e.g. passport application) so I'm safe about that. Linking to it must be fine; that's no different from telling a friend (various European publishers notwithstanding). But downloading it makes all sorts of temporary copies these days; does this mean I can't open two tabs on the same document? I have a proxy for all http{,s} connections; it and my browser have caches so have I violated this notice?

The very popular RED digital cinema cameras have always shot in compressed form using a low-latency wavelet-based codec (presumably with some ASIC or GPU acceleration on board).

What cameras shoot uncompressed 8K HDR video? That doesn’t even seem possible given current SSD bus speeds. Note that many high-quality lossless formats are actually still compressed (they subtract current frame data from the previous frame and then apply LZ4 for example).
The truth is, these companies don't care about Chinese dissidents. Real people fighting for real freedom deserve our support and respect, but Google especially has demonstrated their disdain for anyone who stands up against the Chinese government, and I don't figure Apple is any better. We need to demand our rights and demand that people around the world are brought up to our level because the alternative is us ending up at their level.

All CPUs speculate to some extent (branch prediction has been on everything for basically 30 years now). Intel CPUs got hit first because they're the first ones to speculate so deeply that you can discriminate cache behavior like this. The caches and pipelines just aren't big enough elsewhere, but the techniques are all the same.

Wait, all you've suggested is that the movement began by means of an incorrect conclusion; but you havent shown anything regarding the rest of your claim: if those participating believed in the mistaken conclusion, and were enraged by that conclusion (the game journalism ethics part of it), then it wouldn't make any sense to describe it as "100% founded on harassing women".

Your proof is not at all sufficient for your claim

I wish they had some testimonals or customer list... Unfortunately the restrictive license of many CV libs cause them to be subpar. SLAM in particular has this problem. The reason OpenCV is so successful and has so many contributions is due to the BSD license. I am a huge open-source proponent but it's the reality of commercial software.
The huge level of interest was because the huge yield, you'd have to work hard to issue debt at a higher rate. The fact they needed to offer such a yield is proof that a lot of people think they are going to fail. (Remember that the bond holders will typically be repaid before the VCs.)

I was just complaining about articles like this. If you are discussing a trend, you have to show a time series graph that demonstrates the trend you are claiming. Anything else is blather.

"managers are the ones who need to focus on people and elevating your team."

This is dangerously wrong. If you work in a team, your ability to work well with others and help others work well with you correlates strongly with both your productivity and the upwards slope of your career path. This is true in almost every profession, and even more so in complex and collaborative work such as software development. Labelling people skills as a manegerial issue is doing yourself a huge disservice.

> Tesla has always been clear that Autopilot doesn’t make the car impervious to all accidents

This makes it sound like the problem is that there are edge cases that aren’t handled. In reality, the test shows that Autopilot is only designed to handle the special case of lane keeping and following the car in front of you, but is too simplistic to actually handle the general case of driving the car. It’s a very advanced cruise control, not a self-driving system that still has kinks to work out.
It seems needlessly confusing to me to refer to the first number in a series as the 0th number. 0-based indexing is only good for offset counting, which is very much based on having a mental model based on pointer arithmetic for a number sequence.

Is the murder clearance rate worse than it was in the late 20th century? Also worse than before iOS implemented full disk encryption? Your hyperbolic original claim was that search warrants will be useless in a paperless society. Had you made a mild and reasonable claim like "the contents of a phone, if available in unencrypted form, can help to solve crimes" I wouldn't have bothered to reply.

As for the rest, I can't tell if you are just trying to demonstrate that you can think creatively, or if you actually think that iOS disk encryption is an important element of a scheme to get away with murdering someone with a pathogenic virus recreated from sequence data. (Or to get away with 3D printing guns under illegal circumstances, or deliberately inducing an epileptic fit.)

Because potential for conflict of interest isn't a strong anti-trust consideration. There is very little legal consideration for the concept of conflict of interest as it pertains to market competition: potential conflicts of interest are everywhere, almost no large mergers or acquisitions could ever be allowed under that premise. What doesn't constitute a potential conflict of interest (what interest is in question? by whose definition is it a conflict?) if you extrapolate out a bit.

Stopping something by arguing that an anti-consumer action may be taken by a company at some point in the future, is difficult. The more abstract, multi-step, loose, or distant the premise is, the less likely you're going to sway a judge.

Over consolidation of a specific market is thought of as a sort of obvious, first level concept of risk of consumer harm. The potential that you're describing would be a second or third level concept: do this, then do that, maybe this happens.

Culturally and legally, narrow market consolidation is an established concern. It's widely believed that that has a strong, proven foundation of evidence which links over concentration of market share to negative harm to consumers.

The FCC also has immense power to regulate that market. Frequently judges will leave such discretion to the appropriate Federal agencies, for better or worse. While this FCC and Congress may not do anything about it, the next one might (it's guaranteed the Democrats will pursue net neutrality when they regain a majority position and the Presidency again).

I didn't say there was no difference, just that whether you think one is better than another is not "objective" but a matter of personal preference.

Clearly Dan Brown and Don DeLillo are different. They write different sorts of books that appeal to different sorts of readers. But I struggle to see how those differences make one "objectively" better than the other.

If there are objective criteria by which one could judge whether the one is better than the other, I'd like to know what they are.
