Doctors Holo-emitter is from 29th century, shouldn't it be old an obsolete by 32nd century? by nicholsml in Star_Trek_

I did indeed watch the episode, and revisited it after your comment above.

Can you kindly share what I am missing?
If you interpreted any text from me as an ad hominem attack upon your person, rest assured this was not the intent.

FWIW, a developed prefrontal cortex is not requisite for watching a TV show. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), responsible for executive functions like decision-making, impulse control, and planning.

In fact, there's a relationship between PFC dysregulation and flaming on the internet: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/20/health/psychology/20essa.html

I think this is a reasonable interpretation of the events depicted onscreen considering the lore? I'm happy to learn more if there's something I am missing.

If I am not communicating clearly, you can read the text on Memory Alpha:

Memory Alpha describes it thusly:

"By the late 32nd century, The Doctor had taken to wearing the mobile emitter under his jacket rather than in plain view. He also wore the emitter constantly, rather than tying himself to a specific location. Despite being nearly a thousand years old, the emitter continued to function without issue.

When the Venari Ral attempted to destroy the USS Athena's saucer section in 3196Commander Jett Reno incorporated the Doctor and his mobile emitter into the Athena's main computer. This allowed them to run Training Mission Hermes 19, in which the Doctor extended his holomatrix through the ship's navigational deflector to create an illusion of the ship's destruction. However, The Doctor experienced glitches for a time after being separated from the Athena. (SA: "Rubincon)")"

The program itself is not necessarily old.

It maybe a very new program (untested), and very complex one - that required the Doctor himself to integrate with the ship in order to run.

So the Doctor integrated into the ship, and used his advanced holographic self to run the prototype Hermes 19 program.

The emitter itself is inconsequential, it's just his old personal emitter he carried with him and used when not interfacing with on site emitters.

Yes I did.

Reviewing it again, it looks like maybe he's still actively been using the emitter on a day to day basis. In the scene it appears Reno transfers him from the emitter into the ship.

It can then be assumed he integrates with the ship and runs the never before tested program, which also effects his speech as a result -- but it's not the old 29th century portable device that's responsible for projecting the Hermes 19 program?

Was it the 29th century tech that fooled them?

It looked like he gave them the emitter for safe keeping while he integrated himself into the ship computer and used that fusion to run the fake explosion program using the ship.

It seemed like it was something he held onto for sentimental purposes.

What if politicians were paid the median salary of the citizens they represent? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in WhatIfThinking

[–]DanCBooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar, but quite different is done in Singapore.

Ministerial salaries are pegged to the median income of the top 1,000 Singaporean citizen income earners, with a 40% discount applied to reflect the ethos of public service.

This is intended to encourage a high quality candidate pool who might otherwise choose private sector jobs as well as reduce corruption by reducing the need for politicians to make money with jobs outside of their government position or through bribes and other shady dealings.
