But I never implied that this is for children. Once we reach a certain age, and we are/were avid readers we "skip" reading the letters. Children cannot yet do this, of course, it takes training.

actually, there is something that it is not really understood: the 5.9 years period of gravitational constant variation. [1]. Maybe the Earth is passing through such a filament? [1] http://phys.org/news/2015-04-gravita

Yes, but what stops US Gov to ask car manufacturers to automatically stop engine ( electric or ICE ) if you come too close to, let's say, White House? Or follow a certain road which may lead to some secret facility. This is doable even

This is a story in itself, should be submitted. But in the end, farming will go fully robotic. In contrast with consumer cars, which will always require a human driver.

Well, I am an optimistic person :). Summarizing, I see this problems with Hoffice: 1. Zoning problem, ie. legality of work-from-home. 2. Tax and liability of the host/guest - who is making an income or profit here? 3. Is this a busin

This is really a gray area. However, as long as there are no money involved, no tax inspector or law enforcement will have anything to say. Any tax would imply an income, or a profit. Impossible to tell where is my profit in this hoffice th

I don't think zoning applies to working from home. Is not like you open a front-door shop or some garage. Plus there is no money involved, there is nothing commercial.

This regulations deal with working from home for the home owner( or similar). Yes you can deduct some costs, because this benefit your company/work/etc. But if I am inviting you in my house, put a table at disposal, wifi, meals, e

Well, is not about the speed of the _drone_ but being able to fly in a 20knts wind, with 30, maybe more, gusts. Which means in order to keep course it needs to know the wind speed and compensate. It's been done ( for auto-boats ) but I
