Like this white supremacist who found out that he's 14% African.

The grandparent was challenging the specific claim YOU made that SDC's get rear-ended because they stop too often.

The article you linked doesn't even mention any of the collisions the SDC's have been involved in, and certainly don't support the claim you made about them.

Try again.

Ok mr coward here are the actual citations, I was quick to post and put the wrong post above. Too many hipsters with common place movie knowledge and not actual engineerinrg knowledge so here you go I hope someone actually reads this that will appreciate facts.

The number of miles that google cars have driven so far including its safety record as stated by google directly : http://venturebeat.com/2015/06...

This equates to an accident every 90.9 thousand miles though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... the wiki clams 14 accidents that puts this at 71.4 thousand - all of which are meticulously planed courses - none have left turns into traffic - none of which are in heavy traffic at all - none of which are in adverse conditions such as snow or rain which the car can't even function at all and which of course makes for more difficult human driving. So it is pointless to try and compare that to bumper to bumper rush hour driving on freeways, hundreds to thousands of accidents during large snowstorms, bad winter driving in general, rush hour in general, etc. This makes it extremely difficult to compare to actual human driving statistics.

Note the wiki even states google as saying the car will often revert to extra cautious safety conditions and cannot handle many situations which wont even be addressed till 2020.

Google admits its cars rear ended suprisingly often : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci...

Given that google has not made more than one accident detail public this is hurting their image in all likelyhood. Its a pretty safe assumption that a slow plodding car that often stops, say like you are supposed to text book style, but no one does, for pedestrians, will cause motorists to rear end you.

I have actually heard this notion on Christian radio a decade ago... that is, God will always correct imbalances magically (as per God's promise to Noah) while He achieves His purpose on earth so there is no need to worry as we told to dominate all of the earth.

Even more recently Rep John Shimkus (you guess the party affiliation) also echoed this very same sentiment and claimed that government shouldn't attempt to control green house gases because

"I do believe in the Bible as the final word of God and I do believe that God said the Earth would not be destroyed by a flood"

The earth will end only when God declares its time to be over. Man will not destroy this earth. This earth will not be destroyed by a flood.

That would be the same God who flooded out everybody except Noah's family I presume?

I remember first seeing on a container of recombinant-bovine-growth-hormone-free yogurt that stated there was no difference between it and rbgh containing yogurt.

I thought - "What? Why would the manufacturer put both of those labels on his product?" Of course, it's because the agricultural lobby paid off politicians in order to force non-rBGH manufacturers to put such labels on their product.

You know how Tom Wheeler, former top lobbyist for the cable industry is now head of the FCC? Yeah, it's safe to assume that this sort of thing occurs throughout the US regulatory apparatus. You know the IRS scandal regarding the targeting of conservative groups? Yeah, Big Ag seems to do the same thing but through the regulatory apparatus.

You know, El Chapo broke out of jail, probably with the help of Mexican authorities. It was reported that "He then hinted that the authorities had been complicit in the jailbreak by posting: 'The dog (slang for the Mexican government) dances for money, and I've bought it.'

Fortunately, we don't have law breaking like that here. First the bribery and conflicts of interest are legalized of course, THEN the "favors" occur. So - no illegality.

It's almost like free speech is more of a social justice value than a meathead one.

God help us if we have to rely on conservatives to defend free speech.

A list of such censorship is basically endless, so I will have to suffice with a not-so-brief list of some of the more egregious examples:

• A student at Purdue was found guilty of "racial harassment" for reading a book called Notre Dame Vs the Klan. (The Klan is the bad guy in the book.)
• A candidate in the European elections was arrested in Britain for quoting a passage from Winston Churchill about Islam.
• Gert Wilders, a politician in the Netherlands, was tried on five counts including "criminally insulting Muslims because of their religion."
• Both Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant were dragged in front of the Canadian Human Rights Commission for being Islamophobic.
• Conservative radio host Michael Savage was banned in Britain.
• The group Women, Action and Media convinced Twitter to allow them help report and censor harassment and hate speech. Twitter subsequently suspended the accounts of the anti-feminist Youtubers Thunderfoot and Mykeru (they were later reinstated). Both of them are liberals, by the way.
• Adam Weinstein at Gawker wants to "Arrest Climate-Change Deniers."
• Brendan Eich was forced to resign as CEO of Mozilla for opposing gay marriage. Another guy was fired because someone eaves dropped on his joke about dongles.
• A group called Color of Change was able to get Patrick Buchanan fired from MSNBC for expressing his incorrect opinions (that have been pretty consistent for the last 50 years) in his book Suicide of a Superpower.
• Allegedly, a man was banned from an Oregon college campus for "resembling a rapist."
• The "Pickup Artist" Julien Blanc was barred from entering the UK for making sexist comments.
• The mayor of Massachusetts banned the word "illegal" when referring to, umm, immigrants who came into the United States without going through the proper, legal channels. The Associated Press did

Exactly, he has no money with which to turn his demand (desires) into economic activity. A part is missing or broken from the usual cycle.

There's nothing missing at all.

There's no such thing as just "consumption". People consume goods comes by trading one thing of value for something else of value.

Consumers have money to consume things because they are producers first. They traded their time and skills for wages, or used their knowledge to reap returns on investments.

Consumers do not magically pop into existence to throw money at economic goods.

Never heard of luxury goods?

Yes, but that's not enough to drive the entire economy.

Are you kidding me? The vast majority of things that the Western world enjoys are luxury goods by definition.

You will not die from lack of a car, or laptop, or Internet access, or smartphone, or fast food or fine dining, or all the trivialities you enjoy in your day to day life.

Humanity has existed for thousands of years without those goods ever existing - that they are mass produced and available to many individuals first world nations is a giant market of luxury goods.

It takes complete ignorance of what it means to live without to look at the Western world overflowing with luxuries and claim, "can't build an economy on luxury goods".

What are you ranked in the world's income percentiles?

If it's above $34k, you're in the top 1%. It only takes $1.5k to be in the top 50%. Source

Note: screening is not especially harmful, what is harmful is panicking and receiving nasty nasty treatment that was entirely unnecessary. Also be warned that many doctors are innumerate (and other doctors are afraid you'll sue them). If you screen for cancer more often or outside the recommended age ranges, be damn sure you calculate the odds it's a false positive and that you understand both the risks of receiving unnecessary treatment and the risks of postponing treatment. If you can't do this, you should simply avoid screening more often than recommended or outside the recommended age ranges.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/hea...

Screening older women for breast cancer does more harm than good and leads to over-treatment, warn researchers.

They said regular testing of those aged 69 to 74 did not reduce the numbers getting the disease in the life-threatening advanced stages.

Even doctors find the benefits of screening hard to analyse correctly. Psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer has investigated this, using figures for a screening test for bowel cancer as an example. If the prevalence of cancer is 0.3%, the sensitivity of the test was 50% and the false positive rate was 3%, the doctors were asked, what is the probability that someone who tests positive actually has colorectal cancer?

Half the doctors gave the answer as 50%, when the result is actually less than 5%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended against PSA screening in healthy men finding that the potential risks outweigh the potential benefits.[14]

I'm not so keen on being sedated, but I'd pay extra to be stacked horizontally!

A few years ago Lufthansa had a concept where they would have triple-decker bunk beds in their planes. Read more about it here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

Long haul business class (which is currently the cheapest way to get a lie-flat bed) costs about 3x as much as economy class. But having 3 levels would probably bring this price back down to only slightly above economy class prices, and would be much better than flying DVT class. I'd also happily give up meal services and carry-on baggage (I'd just check everythign in) to be able to lie down and sleep properly.

Not sure what happened though. Maybe it's against some safety regulation, or maybe they thought it'd cannibalize their current business class offering.

Regarding the wheat flour, did you hear about the powder explosion in Taiwan that injured over 200 and killed at least 1 a couple of weeks ago?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

The video is terrifying, people running through an inferno.

It was a very "useful" (effective is probably a better word) explosive, but it was unintended (although the people putting on the show had been warned it could be explosive).

Seriously, check out the video (might need to check Youtube, I can't get it to play but that's par for the course for my browser setup). Horrifying.

Show me someone from the open source community who has helped and donated more towards charities than Bill Gates. Uh huh, that's what I thought.

Bill - is that you? Don't forget to lodge your claims for charitable donations - we filed it under "the spit shield fund".

the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (foundation) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust. Both entities are tax-exempt private foundations that are structured as a charitable.

One good thing Bill Gates has done. Though not everyone agrees.

Reality proves another idiot wrong.

I read a lot of the usual suspects: this site; although it's probably
gone downhill over the years, there are still some interesting, insightful
or informative opinions/posts.

Other sites include:

El Reg. Always good for the latest government fuck-ups with IT.
The latest: 16 billion quid wasted trying to implement a new IT system for what is essentially a renamed social security benefit.

Our dishonest dick of a PM (David Cameron) said today:

"I make no apology for taking Universal Credit [the new benefit] at a deliberate pace."

"Deliberate pace"? It's been years (and it wont be ready for many more, if at all!). What a tosspot.

Another good site is:

FreeBSD Forums. A must read for all those using (or proposing to use) FreeBSD.

The icing on the cake:

The Daily Mail; drivel masquerading as news.

It's like The Onion, only funnier.

It consists of "news" about celebrities (I use the word loosely: most of
them I've never heard of). On a typical day there will be about a dozen
stories about the dreadful Kardashians. A tweet by one of those revolting
people constitutes Daily Mail "news".

What beggars belief though, is that the DM is one of the most popular sites
in the UK! People believe and read the trash they write, as the hundreds of
braindead comments attached to each story attest.

Who was it that said "You can't underestimate people's stupidity"? The DM
is living proof of the wisdom of that quote. Remember, that half the
population has an IQ < 100; I read the DM so that I know what that
half are thinking/being told to think.

I'm not the only one to read the DM. The government takes a keen interest
in what the DM and their imbecile audience has to say and it inevitably
informs part of their unashamedly populist government policy.
Eg. EU bad, people on social security are all scroungers, isn't
the Royal Family lovely?, immigrants are scum, BBC bad etc.

In short, they're hugely influential and I take it as a public duty to
stay informed of what these dingbats are up to. If I lived in the States,
I'd watch Fox News.

I used to troll the DM: post comments which caused a certain amount of
cognitive dissonance amongst the readers. But I got bored with it; the
dullards didn't really react. Maybe my trolling technique wasn't good enough.

We shouldn't always read stuff that confirms our own views/prejudices. You
need to know what the "opposition"/"mental defectives" (or in the States:
Republicans) are up to.

Why would you assume that they're succumbing to US Pressure?

This is fucking France, which spent most of the Cold War technically out of NATO, and didn't come back until it was safe in '09. They actively supported Rwanda's genocidal government because they thought the English-speaking rebels were lying about the genocide, to the point of sending troops to try to protect the fleeing government troops. Their response to PRISM was to condemn it as 'espionage' the very fucking day their biggest paper announced they'd been doing the same damn thing to their citizens for years.

They support Assange and Snowden in public, solely because idiots like you will mistakenly assume this means they actually support Assange and Snowden. In private they will do their best to get those guys fucked over, because if those guys are fucked over they can't do interesting things like tell Le Monde about the DGSE. Which is why, despite their PR as privacy advocates, neither guy has actually asked for Asylum. It's not a surprise they were one of the countries that got Morales' plane stopped, and that of the four involved they were the only one that had clout with the other three (Portugal, Spain and Italy were all in the midst of EU-recovery programs at the time, and guess whose the most important economy in the Euro not named Germany?).

So they have a long history of fucking privacy activists over, and then letting the US take the blame.

The situation is akin to running over a cliff and falling into the abyss with a horse vs. a car or even the segway http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new.... The horse refuses to follow your command, like a human factory worker stops if it sees something in the way, but a robot or a car will do whatever you tell it to do. Of course nobody is going to go back to horses and eliminate cars, because, for one, a horse needs daily feeding and stall cleaning, vs. a car you can leave in the car for a whole month, then walk to it and go, and speeds and economics horses can't match. Robots have downsides, but overall, their economics often leave everything else in the dust, as long as you got an economy able to make the chips. A horse is more zombie apocalypse resilient than a high tech car (maybe not a built to crappy tolerances steam car made by a blacksmith) because it manufactures itself and its fuel is abundant grass or weed people so diligently attack with lawnmowers weekly. But who's gonna commute to their 8 hr office job with a horse? Right?

Well, "confirmed" is stretching it a bit. Hunt has disputed the context in which it was said, but he admits to saying those words... As satire. Several of his colleagues, including women he has worked with for decades, have come forward supporting him.

So why don't you read all about it here and discover to your surprise that the women who started this is a fraud (so often the case with PC outrage).

From the article post:

being surveilled by one of the country's closest allies

and then we have you:

before it fucks up their relationship with their oldest and closest ally who helped you wriggle out from under the iron heel of British tyranny and whose soldiers shed their blood to secure the independence of the USA as a nation at the battle of Yorktown?

LMAO.. you're so naive it's damned near enduring, except it's not. Next time try something from the last 100 years.

Okay, how about the fact that they can't make up their mind on NATO.

They've got Frenchelon! Yay! I'm sure the U.S. is a major target...

Then there's this little nugget. What was that, froggy? What was that about the US stirring up shit in Iraq 03? Well, YOU went it alone and managed to get the fucking Russkies (and by extension the USSR) riled up a bit: "Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971) railed against the invasion and threatened to rain down nuclear missiles on Western Europe if the Israeli-French-British force did not withdraw."

I always find it increasingly rich when either the French (or the Brits for that matter) get indignant.

I could go on all afternoon.. French government monitoring US business interests (as we do with them).. illegal subsidies to their aerospace firms.. supplying weapons to entities with whom might have a beef (the Brits sure did love taking a couple of those Exocent missiles in the ass, now didn't they! countermeasures were a day late and a franc short, just ask the sailors on the Sheffield)..

Look, De Gaulle himself said it: "France has no friends, only interests".. and he's correct. The one 'friend' we *might* have had (the UK) is likely reassessing their 'special relationship' status, because in almost every case sans one they get fucked at our behest. (That *one* time was when we supposedly allowed them to task our latest and greatest spy sats during the Falklands so they could gather information; it is highly unlikely that any other nation on the planet could make that request and be granted that kind of access).

The French (and the EU) are trading partners with the U.S., really, and not a lot else. The UN has no teeth, NATO, well, get back to me when they hold up their end on manpower and weaponry across the pond. We're the one putting the Raptors and a tank brigade in Poland to reassure them Vlad won't make a move.. what are the other NATO members FROM THAT FUCKING CONTINENT DOING AGAIN?

It was this kind of answer which fell apart in the face of people like Jeremy Paxman.

Do Russian soldiers often take their tanks on vacation with them? How stupid do you have to be to believe this?

You would be surprised at the vehicles people drive around in: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new... British grant you but funny none the less. I specially like where he comments: "I don't like driving along in the tank with my head sticking out but the good thing about the tank is that you can always find a parking space" .. would you try to argue with him over a parking space?

Putin will still keep insisting that the soldiers are on their vacation or have been honourably discharged shortly before.

It is seriously not news, not since the photos of a disabled T72B3 have been published. Russia actively helps separatists in the region and will continue doing so in the foreseeable future.

I'd also like to point out the Americal military "advisors" helping the Ukrainian army. This conflict has long passed the threshold of regional proxy war.

It still amazes me to see folks still operating (let alone being allowed to sell) drones without any shielding around the prop perimeters.

What, are you worried that someone might get hurt?

Then of course there is the entire physics and chemistry aspect to it such as what Alton Brown did.

And this is a great demo of a heat equation:

With blackberry and MS having a negligible portion of the smartphone market, I would be surprised if it *wasn't* android.

About 15% of smartphone users who by a Samsung (Android) handset come from iOS users. A higher percentage of iOS users are previous Android users (about 2:1 vs those switching from iOS to Android), but there are more Android users overall, so I'm not certain that there's a net loss in the Android userbase. For example: there were about 200 million iOS devices sold in 2014, and about 1 billion Android devices. If 20% of new iOS users are former Android users, that's 40 Million switching to iOS. If 5% of Android users are former iOS users, that's 50 Million switching to Android. That's a net +10M for Android.

FYI, public family law matters are held to Chatham House rules (no discussion outside the Chamber) in Star Chambers (secret courts illegal since 1640 yet Kennth Clarke has claimed that right thinking people should accept their return - sensibly, as justice must be SEEN to be done, this has not come to pass for criminal courts YET). The public are not generally given access to the hearings nor to judgements in non-anonymised (read: nonadulterated) form.

In addition to the Chatham House Rule, there is also a clause in the Children Act 1989 (section 97) that prohibits discussion of live cases in public.

What they don't clearly say is the real reason they dropped the bans is because the bans would likely not be legal if TTIP were implemented.

TTIP removes the ability of the gov't and EU to protect people and the environment in many ways. ISDS allows companies to sue governments if some new law causes them to lose profits. In effect, new laws to protect people can not be written if they impinge on some corporations TTIP given right to make profit at any expense.

TTIP is insanely bad, it is undemocratic, written by The Commission and corporations in order to help corporate profits at the expense of jobs, health, public serivces and the environment.

What is TTIP? And six reasons why the answer should scare you - Comment - Voices - The Independent

That's the irony of it all: women shame women into suppressing their own desires and conforming to predefined female roles. Men have very little (or nothing at all) to do with it. Subtle reinforcements by women for what women should be are everywhere. Where were the men to ruin everything when this all-female business consumed itself in cattiness? "The venomous women were supposedly the talented employees I had headhunted to achieve my utopian dream - a female-only company with happy, harmonious workers benefiting from an absence of men."

Does that tell you why you shouldn't allow 'gays' to 'marry'? How many thousands more victims of these monsters will be enough for paedophiles like you?

Yes, and the same goes for brothers who want to marry their sisters, or two men who want to marry the same woman, or a daughter marrying her father, right?

And gays are 'born that way', so therefore paedophiles are 'born that way' too, as well as people with a rubber fetish, etc.

And childhood experiences have no effect at all on children, of course, so a child who is sexually abused in no way suffers, it's 'all in their genes', right?

You idiot.

Homosexuals are depraved and sick freaks who eat each other's excrement, and put their tongues into each other's anuses.
Why do gays try to replicate heterosexual sex by using each other's anuses as fake vaginas, if homosexuality is 'normal'?

Gays are also FAR more likely to be paedophiles than heterosexuals, otherwise, how do you explain the fact that more around a third of the victims of paedophiles are boys? Yet gays are only ONE PERCENT of the population. Do the math.

Now is always an excellent time to warn of the conceivable dangers of high energy particle physics experiments which are already in progress. Stephen Hawking warns that Higgs Boson 'God' particle, which gives shape and size to everything that exists, could cause a 'catastrophic vacuum delay' if scientists were to put it under extreme stress. Fortunately this is not a major budget concern for CERN since if this is true, the facility need not be relocated to a safer place because there is no safer place. Another is the formation of so-called 'mini back holes'. The math says they will be very brief and very small and especially very unstable, which is apparently a good thing. Aside from the Universe ending or oops-not-so-unstable black holes falling into a hissy-sucky orbit around the center of Earth's mass, we have the pedestrian possibility that when nature's fur is rubbed the wrong way she might maintain stability by righting things with a highly localized and energetic 'correction'. Which blows things up. Another bizarre theory posed in science fiction that to everyone's dismay became entangled in String Theory is the idea that Multiverses may exist. Since the incomprehensible ones too dissimilar to ours cannot be comprehended, lazy popular speculation centers around parallel Universes populated with people just like us, but slightyy dvfferent and dumbee.

That dyson fan does have blades, they're just hidden inside the base: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix... The same would not work for power generation.

Goldfish do not have particularly short attention spans. That is a myth. They can pay attention long enough to learn behavior and remember it for months.

Why is this on Slashdot? Has Slashdot become this clickbaity? Secondly, Charlize Theron has said herself that Mad Max is "an incredibly feminist action film" and "It's a total empowerment of women,". Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wir...

I've also heard the synopsis of the film, and it sounds like Charlize Theron's character is the main character in the film and women come to the rescue in the film. It sounds like it really sidelines Mad Max in an attempt to push a political agenda, I liked the Aliens movies, but it wasn't a bait and switch like Mad Max appears to be -- we knew that Sigourney Weaver was the star.

Here's mine

Measles is a highly contagious, serious disease caused by a virus. In 1980, before widespread vaccination, measles caused an estimated 2.6 million deaths each year.

The disease remains one of the leading causes of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine. Approximately 145 700 people died from measles in 2013 – mostly children under the age of 5.

Measles is caused by a virus in the paramyxovirus family and it is normally passed through direct contact and through the air. The virus infects the mucous membranes, then spreads throughout the body. Measles is a human disease and is not known to occur in animals.

Accelerated immunization activities have had a major impact on reducing measles deaths. During 2000-2013, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 15.6 million deaths. Global measles deaths have decreased by 75% from an estimated 544 200 in 2000 to 145 700 in 2013.

We no longer have 2.6 million people a year dying. All the recent outbreaks in the US and Canada have been among people who weren't vaccinated. And then there were these idiots to serve as an example.
