My point is that if a pilot is determined to murder suicide a whole plane because he's suicidal there is little you can do realistically.

It doesn't take 'most' passengers to overpower some people. All it takes is one hero to move and others will pile on, just one person to break the bystander effect. This is scientifically proven with crowd modelling.

To me this sounds like a risk for service cart/flight attendant/exiting pilot being overcome and entry gained to the cockpit. Even better a hijacker knows exactly when the opportunity arises as the service cart will be moved into

Are you saying humans cannot visually inspect the actual image that the flag is set against? If not, then how on earth do you prosecute someone if you can't demonstrate they had the actual image, and not just the derivation used to fla

by monkeynotes 5y ago
I think before a criminal investigation, or any investigation at all is pursued, a human verifying the images would dismiss the false positive. I would think surreptitiously placing actual child porn on a rival's phone/computer wo

My household has had zero cases per capita. Population count and relative isolation make a huge difference. You can't directly compare NZ with places like Germany or the US.

I wonder how the work-from-home revolution will play into this. If we don't need to commute there will be a huge change in our vehicle needs and transportation energy needs.

Agree, connected smart charging is the way to go. But the fact is if a car needs to be charged by the morning you are going to see spikes in the evening. I am rather ignorant about how often people with plug ins actually change, maybe you d

Cars can carry much more than a bike, I can't do my grocery shopping with an e-bike. Cars insulate you from the environment, heat, cold, rain etc. Bikes can leave you sweaty, freezing, or wet. Rail is a complex solution. The UK has lot

I think there will be more spikes, assuming people go back to commuting. As soon as folk get home they will plug in their car and draw large amounts of power. This article is fairly informative: https://www.pewtrusts.org/en&

Infrastructure is something that can be accomodated. Providers have a ~20 year window to ramp up production and infrastructure. I think the providers are well aware of the direction electric cars are headed and are able to plan for expansio

Actually Toyota's manufacturing process was changed after Fukushima and was one of the only companies that plans for situations like this: https://www.autoblog.com/2021/03/09/toyota-how-it-avoided-se...

All of that region is a horror show in terms of exploitation. My opinion is contributing to their economies is effectively endorsing their policies. If you have an issue with the ethics of these countries and their exploitation of vulnerabl

Apple is a trillion dollar business and will find novel ways of either burying the feature or whitewashing it as something we all need. I imagine if they do e2e encryption of your photos they can spin this as being a necessary feature &quot

Yeah, I am pretty certain if I asked my friends what they thought of Apple's new photo scanning privacy concern they'd be like "What? Not heard about that" and that would be about it, move on continue loving their iPhone

Radio waves are simply electromagnetic radiation, this is ubiquitous throughout the universe. Nothing special about the earth being formed in a particular brain-like way and the radio radiation emanating from earth itself is as random as th

by monkeynotes 5y ago
By your reasoning we could describe the entirety of everything as a brain. It's just brains all the way. Can any meaning be extracted from that, at all? Seems to me semantics and language are really just illusions of meaning.

by monkeynotes 5y ago
But what is the output of this earth brain? Outwardly it appears, to us at least, that there is zero affect to observe and so we'd have to assume this brain is locked in or at least completely indecipherable to us.

We've had HD cameras and excellent optical glass for a long time, and yet blips on poor quality video are abound. Anything high def is (in my experience) always CGI.

It's not good for home owners at all. As property prices go up my property taxes also go up, but my salary does not. It's not like I can sell up and make a pile of cash, I'd have nowhere to live or have to buy again in the sa

Depending on your state of mind this could go either way. I think you'd need to have totally accepted death and not fear it in order to expire at peace, with or without LSD. But yeah, I imagine it would have been quite a profound final
