I'd love to see that result, purely for the hilarity of watching the people I share a house with, who voted for Brexit, explode at the idea of the UK government not policing an external border.
The only reason they voted for Brexit was because they think it means they can get rid of all the migrants, they tell me this quite regularly.
One of them moved here from Bahrain, though apparently this means their family were ex-pats, not migrants. The other is from a long line of Christian overseas missionaries.
If they thought for a second that Brexit would mean leaving the border with Northern Ireland wide open, they would be screaming blue murder.
like Republic of Ireland joining the United Kingdom.
Or Arthur rising and reinstating Camelot in England's hour of need.
Or Nessie being discovered, then rampaging south to destroy London in a Gozilla inspired attack, wiping out the entirety of the Square Mile.
Or the entire human population suddenly realising that the borders were only in their heads all along and finally living together in peace and harmony.
Depends on how the field moves relative to the iron. If it expands then contracts, which seems highly likely, the overall effect on magnetizing the iron could be surprisingly low, as far as I am aware. Though I could be wrong on this.
edit - ahh, reading through you mean during the experiment, rather than it being left magnetized afterward.
During the test it should focus field lines within it. The overall strength of the field will remain the same, but field lines will be concentrated on the cage, meaning it does not propagate as far.
Though there should be people on here that will be able to explain this better than I can. And correct me if I am talking rubbish. I am solidly an amateur on this, and there are definitely some professionals floating about.
Hey, numbers and letters are hard. FCC, FAA, 100 reports per month, 100 complaints per day. Same thing, surely. Besides drones are bad, so exaggerating and misrepresenting is morally justified, as it will save the lives of billions that would otherwise have died from the flying evil.
>“Each month, the FAA receives more than 100 reports of drone sightings by pilots, citizens, and law enforcement,”
Drones interfering with manned aircraft or emergency services is already illegal.
And these things are transmitting radio in both directions, putting money into tracking and prosecuting people interfering with flights is completely achievable, without any change in law.
I suspect that this is more about protecting the interests of the commercial businesses by introducing licensing as a barrier to entry.
>The bill is supported by the Commercial Drone Alliance, a Washington-based advocacy group representing Alphabet’s Wing as well as other drone businesses.
I think there will be two things. One is economics, fetching asteroids could be very big business, and the other is political, space will be viewed as freedom of a sort, given the kind of restrictions that may be in place on Earth by then, with the climate transforming alongside having a lot more people than we do today, even if growth slows down, which is far from certain. We could easily be in the age of what Bruce Sterling refers to as the Khaki Greens, aka, militarised enforcement of ecological protection.
If you don't think that they were actually putting forward a tale to be believed in the first place, but were signalling that they don't have to bother, then it just doesn't even apply.
>Neither is a logical argument, both are abductive heuristics
Occam's razor is a logical position to take in an absence of further information, although sometimes wrong, especially in biology. Hanlon setting up malice and stupidity as an exclusive or gate, is not. Nor was it ever meant to be taken as such.
>Which is why nobody is willing to bet on making such stupid and dangerous mistakes on purpose as exposing your agents, exposing your leader's lies and making your country suffer retribution for assassination on foreign soil. And for what? To laugh the whole world in the face? That's insane.
Putin has been exposing his own lies for years on TV, usually with a smile. This is the guy who goes on his third ever scuba dive on the news and brings back museum quality amphorae. Lying barefacedly, with the audience knowing it is all lies, is a large part of his public persona. It is meant to both be funny and set an example that he doesn't need to bother with little things such as truth.
>The PM put on a diving suit and dived deep into the Taman Bay where, to everyone’s utter surprise, he managed to find two ancient amphorae dating back to the 6th century AD.
>Putin also told journalists that the Taman dive was his third-ever attempt at scuba diving.
It is economic to move massive stuff about in open space, which is what you need for an economy to attract people. The gravity well is a huge cost. You can make a profit by sending down the gravity well but going back up tends to be a huge expense.
The pizza delivery driver probably wants their job more than a stack of pizza and often provides their own vehicle. And robbing armored bank trucks involves attacking people, there isn't the same moral guideline when it comes to robots. Flying pizza robots will be considered 'fair game' by a lot of people.
That does not work very well in politics, or indeed many other areas of life.
People are very good at acting dumb to avoid blame.
Hanlon's razor is a method of being polite, rather than a robust logical position.
Malicious compliance, being one example of this behaviour, even has it's own popular group on reddit.
Edit - for anything that consists of an established bureaucracy, you would actually do better to invert Hanlon's razor in most cases.
Edit2 - also, the entire premise is logically inconsistent, as it places idiocy and maliciousness as being mutually exclusive options, which they clearly are not.
In the first place, Robert J. Hanlon submitted the aphorism for the joke book collection "Murphy's Law Book Two: More Reasons Why Things Go Wrong". And, according to wikipedia, probably stole it from a Heinlein short story, so I suspect you might be taking it a little more seriously than Hanlon did.
Part of the reason they are slow-walking Trump's pronouncements on trans people in the military, is that after getting rid of 'don't ask don't tell', the military will have wanted to know about people's sexual preferences, especially in key roles, so as to guard against cases of blackmail.
I guarantee that they will have key people who have told them all their kinks, that they are really trying hard not to get rid of.
