This thread is discussing the astronomical costs you would expect from robot-assisted quarantine procedures for infectious disease. That would be a case where the max out of pocket is what is relevant to consider.

It's a good argument for a carbon tax.

Why does it need to be without human intervention? A gas station attendant on major trucking routes is a pretty easy solution until some autonomous docking standard is developed.

I feel like you're missing what 'shot on iPhone' is trying to convey. The point of the campaign is that the iPhone camera is good enough to be used in a professional shoot, not that it automatically makes high production-valu

It's not going to show up in everyone's feed if you pay either. You're just talking degrees of exposure. Getting to 100% of eyeballs vs. 80% or 10% is arbitrary.

Not sure how widely this is known, and thus how much it impacted stock prices, but the unintended acceleration panic was not a real mechanical issue, and thus Toyota was not at fault [1]. The 737 Max is/was a real problem and is/w

That's a simple but crude method of avoiding the 737 Max. You'll have more flight options if you just check any flight you plan to book on https://flightaware.com

Not if the multiplier is lower. You assume the value of the degree is the same when earned without work experience to relate to what you're learning, or that you will be able to build the same network. Not to mention you are less likel

This is one of my favorite non-fiction stories. The BBC movie starring Kenneth Brannaugh isn't bad. There were rumors of a Tom Hardy-led movie a couple years ago, but haven't seen any updates since.

I don't know what makes you so certain that general sentiment is anti-McDonald's in this case. I have only ever heard the story given as an example of the frivolous lawsuits brought by overly-litigious Americans. It makes a good e

Can you point to some of this evidence, for the uninformed? Especially on "giving kids screens helps them learn, and as we see in the real world, the exact opposite is what is happening."

It's not difficult to average 3% or more with a stack of credit cards, if you're willing to juggle them. Obviously going with an across the board 2% rate is easier. Uber Visa 4% on dining Costco Visa 4% for gas Amazon Prime Visa

I don't actually see any touchscreen controls on the SpaceX panel. There are physical buttons in the middle and what appear to be information-only displays to either side. There might be some sliders, but it's hard to tell. That s

It seems some posters here are missing an important point about engagement rings: they are a gesture of financial commitment. The expensive price tag is a feature, not a bug that can be solved by creating chemically-identical but inexpensiv

That advice has a Michael Pollan (eat food, mostly plants, not too much) or Paleo Diet vibe to it. Perhaps a better term would be closer to what we would have encountered through most of the evolutionary history of our digestive system. In
