If you work in 'the industry', surely it would not be a big deal to carry around an adapter a long with the other standard tools of your trade? I imagine it'll be about as inconvenient as carrying around ear buds.

This is clickbait and (low quality) speculation. Should we allow this type of story to appear on the front page?

The number of times I've strapped anything to the roof of my vehicle (in 13 years of driving) is exactly zero. This particular vehicle might just not be suitable for your needs. Maybe eventually auto cars without roof sensors will co

In fairness, it seems very unlikely that he only applied to jobs 1) in his city, 2) at companies that "have a position open for what [he does]". He likely also applied to jobs that he wasn't super pumped up about, in case the

Yep, you're absolutely right that both sides have grievances. But nobody is arguing we live in a society of optional laws Reading some of the comments here... I'm not quite sure that's true (thus my comment). I'm t

Unless you think the ADA is a bad thing, it should not be optional.

I agree that bad laws should be struck down. So if you're saying the ADA is a bad law - like low speed limits and banning gay marriage... sure. I think it would be hard to argue that the ADA is a bad law, however. If it's not a

How is society improved by making a law optional?

The worst part is it doesn't even matter if it's an 'essential tool for living' or not. People who say stuff like your father have obviously never been the crippling, soul destroying, kind of poor. When your life is fil

I think 'spending [money] there' is maybe not quite enough. Taxes pay for infrastructure maintenance, law enforcement, fire, public safety concerns, etc. If you're not being paid by a local entity and do not put the money i

OK, you clearly did not read the article because you are incorrect. That statement you quote is referring to the still image in the article, below the video, which is of an entirely different star and system of planets (Fomahault b). The vi

Because it wasn't the expected outcome. Or, at least, there was a chance that things could be saved. The high risk is even more reason to offer huge compensation. We can only see in retrospect that it was doomed to failure.

"However, it still is nowhere near the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan & Nazi Germany." The only question I have is: So? Why do you feel the need to compare what the US did to other atrocities? You can always find some

Heh. The missile defense systems are super controversial even now exactly because we have been unable to effectively demonstrate that they work[1]. This stuff sounds like it already works in the field. Nice. [1]: Tests are run and performa

The radar signature of a small projectile coming in at, say >30m/s is indeed a lot different from a running, tiny human. What about something like a soccer ball, though? It's a small-ish projectile, coming in quite slowly. Wh

The two systems are definitely not in the same league (agreed!), if that's what you're pointing out. That said, the time required to calculate an intercept point is not the hard problem, so 1-2 seconds versus 30 minutes is not rea

I suspect it's more of a pompous thing. Thinking of the funds like wines: they mature/get better with age.

Whether or not he made that statement doesn't matter. What should matter to you more is that he believes it in the first place.
