transporter

SpaceX will IPO when their Mars Colonial Transporter is making regular trips between Earth and Mars.

We hope to be able to use our Transporter feature to make it relatively easy to keep data moving around between DBs, Cloudant included.

Since it was designed as a shuttle transporter, they probably designed for 2000 landings and never cared about really defining safety margins beyond that.

I'd argue the remaining attack surface is still wide enough to drive a shuttle crawler-transporter through.

Sure, we're still waiting for warp drive and the transporter, but still we're batting over 500.

I'd expect the next generation of drugs will focus on things like improving monocarboxylate transporter throughput/efficiency.

Luckily the Mars colonial transporter will be built by the time we do real damage.

Sort of like Transporter technology in Star Trek, wherein everyone ignores the elephant in the room - all their friends died years ago, many times.

A single-photon emission tomography study6 found increased serotonin transporter availability in the thalamus, but not in the raphe nuclei, in patients with SAD relative to healthy control individuals.

Then the teleporting chief would have to shoot the original As an aside, there was a great Star Trek novel where there was a long range transporter invented that accidentally cloned people.

The interstate system requires that a minimum of 4.9 m clearance (except in urban areas when there is an alternate interstate around the area), so it certainly seems like the Minute Man transporter was designed for the highway system.

Modafinil is a poorly-understood medication, but we do know that it has a moderate affinity for the dopamine reuptake transporter, which is a mode of action that overlaps slightly with other stimulants such as Methylphenidate.

That's like saying "a transporter would allow you to instantly teleport an object from one place to another".

Also interesting that they didn't mention any of the longer acting transporter blockers like methylphenidate or other "performance enhancing" drugs that have been widely reported to improve attention (the button pressing test is actually diagnostic for the action of these drugs).

(Oddly, when the patents run out we'll see quite quickly that, rather than being a "human transporter", the segway will become the reference architecture for bipedal robots.) Amazon Fire Phone is just about greed.

You could make the same philosophical arguments against "downloading your mind into a computer" or "using a Star Trek transporter." How do you know that the consciousness on the other end is still "you?"
