typical relatively inexperienced driver

Look at the rates that teenagers crash, this is an indictment.

provided you are paying attention

It was advertised as fully autonomous dude. People wouldn’t have this much of a hard-on for trashing it if it wasn’t so oversold.

bane_killgrind,

They insist it came from “another unnamed actress”.

Rumor has it they’ve kept her in a jar since birth, her only exposure to the world being through cameras hidden around the Julliard campus.

"Thin film solar is light weight at 7-10 ounces per square foot. "

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_solar_cell

Your 1 panel at less than 2 sqm weighs as much as more than 6 square meters of thin film. The 40 or 50% better relative efficiency doesn’t make up for the increased square footage. What kind of wattage would we even need?

bane_killgrind,

Hindenburg had a cruising speed of 131km/h, so solar electric would just be pegged to a lower top speed assuming we didn’t touch any other parts of the design.

I think efficiency gains in propeller tech, changes in crew and gear requirements, structural materials, and the rest of it would make it feasible.

bane_killgrind,

Well yeah, for large volumes of cargo land or ocean traversal will always be cheaper or faster.

If the infrastructure exists, anyway.

A completely solar electric train would be awesome

‘How do you get hypothermia in a prison?’ Records show hospitalizations among Virginia inmates (apnews.com)

The Virginia State Police investigator seemed puzzled about what the inmate was describing: “unbearable” conditions at a prison so cold that toilet water would freeze over and inmates were repeatedly treated for hypothermia....

bane_killgrind,

There’s some value in bringing some woodworking tools and lumber to city Hall and make yourself one as a performance piece

bane_killgrind,

… 10 billion. It says so in the summary.

bane_killgrind,

It is truly the year of the Linux desktop.

bane_killgrind,

Yeah that’s why inviting strangers into your home unsupervised is stupid.

bane_killgrind,

This is how women feel when people tell them to smile more

bane_killgrind,

There was the choice of drone operations being completed on a local level, or to push the authority to authorise them up the chain.

Obama took personal responsibility for this new tool instead of letting the military use it in whatever way.

bane_killgrind,

Yeah the status quo was some rando jarhead or spook makes that decision, so Obama changed it so his office makes the decision.

bane_killgrind,

A single point of oversight, divorced from the operation is not better than multiple, who have the incentive to use this tool, despite the constant civilian casualties, because the alternative is the risk of casualties from the boots on the ground they command directly…?

Not an improvement? Do you have any criteria for good/bad here?

bane_killgrind,

I will arbitrate this bet at a paltry 5% fee, please submit your bets via interac money transfer to banekillgrind@gmail.com

bane_killgrind,

He’s not getting shot at lol of course he’s more Impartial.

US politicians would commit career suicide if they suggested no drone use, because it would mean soldiers get shot.

If the option you want picked is neither drones or boots, how do you suggest the USA divest themselves from wars in foreign countries? If the first black president came out as a pacifist they would have to level every single grassy knoll in the country.

Putin already kills indiscriminately, that’s not really relevant.

bane_killgrind,

Drone operators aren’t getting shot at.

Yes, but they work at the same base as the guys that would be.

We’re on the same page, but I don’t think the way the US is and how the military is structured, that either the president or any local commanders would ever be persecuted for civilian deaths. We disagree on what accountability means probably.
