It’s in vacuum, so there’s no reason to streamline. I’m not even sure what “today’s design concepts for modern technology” is for moon landers. And it does include a small 6-wheel rover similar to the Sojourner rover the US sent to Mars.

they’re forever tainted now, again.

The new tech doesn’t change the shape of the lander. It still needs solar panels, rockets, tanks, and insulation. It probably has the latest sensors and computers, but that wouldn’t change the basic design.

It reached a high enough temperature during impact to melt or vaporize things, even if there was no combustion. (It was moving fast.) But there would also be a bit of fuel and oxidizer remaining in the tank which could combust. It was probably hypergolic, so it would burn just by mixing the two tanks on impact, even…

This is probably related to the number of states which ban manufacturer direct sales. Of course it’s the dealerships which support such laws, and Tesla doesn’t do dealerships.

Jet engines actually have a “containment ring” designed to prevent shrapnel of a failed engine from hitting the plane and causing further damage.

They seem to have at least three officers, so a bit more than 10k.

Or leave it exclusively to those with big pockets. Yeah, that always worked out well.

Agreed, but I’m saying it’s not a place where you would normally expect any extra barrier to be needed in the first place. But something weird is happening there to bring so many cars his way. And that ADA-compliant pedestrian ramp doesn’t help slow them down.

No. There might be something better by then, but there will still be plenty of batteries of the right kind to handle repairs. Or maybe even a way to take advantage of new battery tech during the repair. Because batteries are a lot more general-purpose and interchangeable than a fuel cell.

I switched to a color laser 9 years ago, and it’s still going strong. It happens to be HP, but thankfully before they started some of their worst greediness. I use 3rd party toner and will never update the firmware. I will never buy a new inkjet, of any brand.

Worse, it’s just a standard T intersection. Either people are trying to make the right turn with too much speed, or people can’t drive straight on a straight road. Maybe the sign for the cross street needs to be much further back so people know when to slow down.

Also, in more southern areas, there’s less need to protect the car from the environment. It’s not going to melt in the rain, and neither are you. It spends all day in a parking lot at work, a bit of overnight outside air is nothing.

The number of claimants shouldn’t change much: they are not accepting new claims, and have only a small percent of the claims which are still being reviewed.

The hardware is built in, but autonomous driving is a lot more than just hardware. They will need to continuously update the software to keep autonomous driving safe, plus there needs to be an active data connection, presumably bought from a cellular provider, and servers must be maintained to provide updated map data…

Many of those subreddits held public votes about how to proceed, with overwhelming support for what the mods were doing.

Netflix has been knocked down a few, but only because companies that were already very large decided to step into that space. (Disney, HBO, etc are not a “startup” by any definition.) And also because licensing and copyright favored the companies that were producing the content Netflix relied on.

Or the Northwest Passage.

Which is why copyright should not be 75+ years.

I somehow think three or four drivers isn’t going to help much. And that little bit of cash definitely won’t help much if you have to spread it over all the drivers to raise pay, since low pay was cited as a factor in low driver retention.
