If a pistol needs an external safety, it's a failed design. The law is correct in that specific instance.
I would love to get some real testing and a true answer about what the problem is. Unfortunately, Sig seems like it just keeps getting shielded from having to show what the issues are.
It's REALLY hard to create a dead man's switch that works, but also leaves no trace. Even if you delete the script after it executes, there's probably backups or logs that show what happened.
Yeah, this is why people don't trust science. They look at the surface level of the PRESS RELEASE and then assume scientists are just making shit up.
There's a ton of work done behind the pictures and there's lots of revisions and changes as new evidence comes in. AND there is disclaimers on ever single "artist rendition"
Science is fucking hard, and the pretty pictures of the press release are just the fun parts that they use to advertise their hard work.
Then people take a brief look at the picture, call bullshit, then go smear them online.
This was a dumb episode. She was a full grown adult that everyone treated like a child. He did nothing to even hint that he was going to do anything inappropriate.
They all got bamboozled by someone taking advantage of their puritan values and they deserved it.
I think that has more to do with safety laws and emission standards than anything else. How can you properly crash test a fully modular car?
I'd love it if cars were more repairable, but modular would be a really tough design problem.
Heck, you NEED a screen in the US on any car due to backup cameras being mandatory. If you need a screen, I can see why companies would just use it for the infotainment system.
Rephrased - If you broke the laws of physics in a very specific way to force the full flow of Niagara Falls into a stream the size of a straw, the energy released would destroy the planet.
That's how airplanes were at first too. Eventually, once enough of the technology and engineering becomes finalized, everyday people can afford it.
With this technology we can use methane or hydrogen powered rockets, using only renewable resources, launch people from one side of the planet to the other in less than an hour.
Is this a good thing for the environment? It's hard to say right now, it's probably not great. Since the flights will be so short, maybe it'll be better than the current air travel.
Get two external hard drives and swap them into a fire safe occasionally.
That way if there's a need to evacuate you can just grab the fire safe and run.
