HUDs only make sense if you're truly a supervisor of the vehicle, not the control system.

In aircraft/drones, HUDs are OK cause the aircraft really flies itself, the pilot is there for emergency situations and what I call trimming (small adjustments).

In a car, you control everything--still want to end up in that ditch--pretty easy....sure go ahread....

Once we get real supervisory based cars, yes, HUDs make no sense other than wiz bang. And much like 8" touchscreens & phone integration in cars are whiz bang--are distractions currently.

That, and most Americans are too fucking lazy to sort, or have any kind of care in avoiding contamination (or even learning what that means).

As another post mentions (although a bit rudely), there is no reason why I need to sort my trash myself. Mixed waste recovery facilities can achieve almost 80% landfill diversion rates. One such service in South Pasadena costs under $40 per month, which is the same as standard garbage service in nearby LA.

There is no reason why I should waste my time sorting trash. I don't waste my time vacuuming my own home or landscaping my own house either. I pay professionals to do it who will do it much better and in less time. And for lower cost since I charge my employer a much higher rate.

The only reasons areas like Pasadena and Bevery Hills started mixed waste recovery was because no one was sorting on their own. The only way to force municipalities to start doing sorting the right way is to stop sorting yourself. Just like voting it is unlikely any one person can make a difference, but if everyone felt that way no change would ever happen.

If a Uber driver decides not to work at any point in time or decides not to take a particular fare I don't think they are at any risk of their relationship with Uber being terminated for those actions.

This dispute is happening in the context of a bunch of shenanigans happening in California, Uber's only on facet of it.

A few months ago there was a big strike between truckers and the trucking companies at the port in Long Beach. the companies insist that the truck drivers are independent contractors because they are paid by the load, not by the hour, and the truckers are "independent operators" because they own the trucks on paper. The problem is the truckers are only allowed to use trucks they lease from the trucking companies, the trucking companies add on various "fees" from the lease bill, they have to make deliveries when they're told (while still not having official hours or a schedule). Critically, the drivers cannot avail themselves of workers comp, overtime or any of the other things an employee would be entitled to. They're employees but the employers have used paper technicalities to reclassify the relationship, strictly for the purposes of evading labor law.

The kinds of disputes are inevitable in a piecework economy, and they were the norm prior to the progressive era in the US. 80 hour weeks with no overtime, paid by the unit, no workplace safety regulations, random fees and wage dockings, and if you complain, maybe we don't need your services anymore.

Better for you than butter or lard. It's also pretty amazing the long lives so many people have lead consuming this poison.

The same thing happened to me in Hawaii in 1966 but the Navy helicopter pilot had pictures that showed several dozen sharks in a band just a hundred meters or so farther out than the swimmers at a tourist beach.

Shark attacks are very rare, the species known to attack humans are few, and it's mostly surf-boarders or swimmers in wet suits that get the attention of the shark. If the criteria for closing the beach for swimming don't include the shark species as well as size then IMHO almost all closures will be false alarms - but who will know?

And when it fails, we can blame Intel for going out of business.

The point is, Intel plays by different rules and their Altera purchase represents a smaller percentage of their total worth. But the most important reason you shouldn't copy Intel is if there is an x86+FPGA market, you will never be able to beat Intel at it. If Intel wants your niche, they will take it from you. If Intel has already moved there before you even started, now you don't even have the ability to establish a new market, losing the only minute advantage there is.

I recommend trying to come up with a new idea that Intel isn't actively pursuing. Get some customers and lots of patents, then when Intel wants to take it from you, they at least have to do some costly patent settlements.

The Planetary Society just wants to see space exploration and the advances in technology that make it possible.

Almost everybody wants that. The question is how to go about it. Nye wants to redirect funding within NASA from programs like the ISS to interplanetary probes and pure science, which is certainly an improvement. Tyson, on the other hand, talks a lot about the supposed impossibility of financing private space exploration, which is a bad thing.

In the end, I think both of these guys simple have stepped into shoes that are too big for them to fill and have no credible agenda for advancing the cause of space exploration. By needlessly speaking out against private space exploration, Tyson actually causes harm; he could easily take a more conciliatory tone even if he thinks public funding is important.

I used to support the Planetary Society, but I don't think it's worthwhile anymore.

Better yet, look at the Gates foundation or the like

Yes, just look at the Gates foundation. Everything about it is wonderful. How quickly they forget that Bill Gates stole that money. Microsoft was convicted of abusing its monopoly position and general anticompetitive behavior. Then Bush's dog Ashcroft, in control of the DoJ, let them off with a warning. Not even a handslap. Microsoft is part of the evil that is buying and selling this country, and Bill Gates was chief presiding evil bastard. You really think he's changed? Guess what, the Gates Foundation is making money investing in things that kill people. It's not trying to make the world a better place. It's a tax dodge.

Yes, you're very smart. Now stop reacting long enough to think.

The question isn't where the money came from. The question is whether it is being used intelligently--in an attempt to improve major problems that need reform. When you are deciding where to donate your money, it doesn't matter whether you're leveraging it with money made by a warlord or money made by a church--what matters is that you're leveraging it effectively.

The Gates foundation invests its current money until it spends it. That's normal. Could it have a more socially conscious investment policy? Sure. That's a policy choice, and there are strong reasons for and against.

Stop looking for reasons to hate.

If WE cared about CO2 emissions there's easily other energy sources that instill emissions only at the point of source generation/creation vice the continued production of those emissions. Nuclear (preferably molten salt-based), wave generation, and induction strategies are just the tipping points. But the real trouble is government-owned monopolies that claim they are public utilities. They'll never give up their power and money.

US says ‘no evidence of Russia’s direct involvement’

** Russian provided BUK-M1... then captured BUK from Ukraine army. There is also BUK driver "released" from separatists confirmed that (Where is he now??).

** No Russian involvement, so how separatist could launch the BUK. New theory:
http://touch.latimes.com/#sect...

U.S. intelligence agencies have so far been unable to determine the nationalities or identities of the crew that launched the missile. U.S. officials said it was possible the SA-11 was launched by a defector from the Ukrainian military who was trained to use similar missile systems.

Robert Parry confirmed that: https://consortiumnews.com/201...

2+3. Unverifiable. Also, fake photo, provided by SBU (Ukraine security agency), which claimed BUK no.312 launched missile downed the MH-17, is still in Ukraine service:

The last photo was **DELETED** (silently).
The first photo, is interesting too.
This is the first, and **ONLY** photo which captured the smoke-trail of missile, provided by a pro-Kiev "witness", here some analysis from Dutch blogger (he may be hired by Kremlin, but his logic is interesting):
http://7mei.nl/2015/05/18/mh17...

Here some fact:
* This is the **ONLY** photo about smoke-trail, despite several video from locals capture the moment of the planed burning.
* The photo was in BMP, no EXIF data (Bellingcats to "protect" the "witness", yes here have contact with pro-Kiev medias, blogger, too)
* His interviews contradicted themselves.
* Minor detail, the blogger of 7meil.nl wen to the room of "witness", taken a photo as "witness" described, and there is (electric) wires in photo, not like the "original" photo.

4. After the incident, locals, in some videos, cheering because they thought government airplane shot down. May be, the separatists think so, too.

5. Which satellite images!?
IF satellite images provided by Russian Government after the accident, there not claim that is fake (yet).
Meanwhile, the satellite images provided by Ukraine Government, to counter the Russian ones, was analyzed by Russians, that was faked

Greece had almost a million civil servants in 2012 and apparently even Americans know that. That is not just people working for the government, that are people with a secure job for life. The population of Greece was 11 millions in 2012. Looks like indeed 10% of greek population consists of civil servants. Labour force in Greece is about 5 millions so whooping 20% of the labour force are civil servants in Greece, not 7%.
Just FYI, Germany has the same amount of civil servants, but 8 times the population/labour force. There are more people working for the German government than that, of course, but they are just salaried employees.

I'm including the population of the county... apparently only 10 million.

If your sense of smell was strong enough to let you smell something at the bottom of a lake, and if as a beloved pet your entire life was spent mostly in the same restricted area - a particular home, yard and neighborhood, you would also jump at the chance to get as much new, fresh and undiscovered air drift past your nostrils as you could. If ever you observe a dog with its head out the window in a car, it will have the "smiling" pose known by dog owners (relaxed jaw, ears back, tongue out) but also those nostrils will be working furiously the entire time. The dog is smelling everything it can, as much as it can.

Dogs are curious creatures (which is why wolves were first drawn to human habitations). Wild dogs and wolves in packs usually roam over large territories. Modern dogs have adapted to living a human lifestyle more or less, provided they get plenty of exercise and toys and social stimulation to keep them from being bored. But when they get the chance to add new smells to their experience, they love that most of all.

Good thing AOL pissed away $100 billion dollars a few years ago, otherwise Verizon wouldn't have been able to buy them now.

Of course they were never really worth that $100 billion, but it must have been fun pretending they were.

That this would be a new idea surprises me. In 2009, the US had the Car Allowance Rebate System (aka Cash for Clunkers) program which likely helped reduce emissions even it was more of an economic program. Further back, twenty years ago Ventura County offered money to get old clunkers off the road strictly for emissions reasons. In 1995 per the article I link below, "More than 50% of the smog comes from vehicle emissions and a large percentage of that comes from older, pre-1974 clunkers." If you look at the distribution of cars, many are late model, well-maintained, and operating at or very near their peak. But as cars age and lose value, newer cars are built to higher emissions (and safety) standards, the parts get worn, routine maintenance gets done but many repairs aren't done because it isn't worth it based on the value of the vehicle. In areas without emissions testing, there is absolutely zero incentive to worry about it with an older vehicle. I realize this every time I get behind a vehicle that is smoking or burns my eyes because it is in such bad shape. This is not even about zero or low emissions, it is simply about getting extreme polluters off the road.

Bottom line: Encourage people to replace clunkers and keep their vehicle well-maintained.

As an odd aside, there are articles that show a similar distribution of costs in emergency room. A small number of patients dominate ER costs in the US because they have no insurance and chronic conditions. Google that one for yourself.

"She contended that a diagnostic CAT scan she had undergone 10 years ago left her with chronic and disabling headaches when she sought to look into either the past or the future, preventing her from continuing practice as a psychic..."

That's pretty much in keeping with "destroyed her psychic powers"; if she cannot do it anymore[1] it's gone, hence destroyed. "sought to look" doesn't mean that she succeeded in spite of the headache, it just means she attempted. She does not say if she was successful.

Contrary to popular belief, Haimes never claimed that a CAT scan had caused her to lose her psychic powers. In fact, the often alluded-to CAT scan never took place. Haimes only claimed that the headaches resulting from her allergic reaction prevented her from earning a living as a psychic.

That's a very revisionist look at it. The fact of the matter is they sent a lot of people to Wasilla because she was an unknown and they kept finding newsworthy things. By 2008, if you didn't know anything about Barack Obama I would have to assume you were in a coma. He had been covered by the national press since the 2004 DNC convention.

The other thing about Palin that encouraged more reporting was her penchant for saying things that were blatantly untrue. They weren't shades of gray that another politician might get away with. They were facts she disregarded. Case in point: During the election, she repeatedly said she was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Alaska Legislative Council which was factually untrue. The council had found she abused her power. After the election a different board found that she reached an opposing conclusion and said she did not violate ethics rules.

Far too often people in authority are willing to use these results as cover for their own biases - they have a gut feeling that someone is guilty, but since that's obviously not scientific they seek a way to mask their bias in pseudoscience.

Here's the story of how FBI 'profiling' was invented out of bogus results.

The problem with DNA matches(bad application of statistics) leading example being a black man and a white man who came up as the 'same' person.

Then there is the use of drug-dogs that don't detect drugs, they detect subconscious (and sometimes conscious) cues from their handlers.

Also, the latest bogus fad - micro-expressions as a form of lie detection. The TSA has spent a billion+ dollars on it with zero useful results.

Seems to me that the constant push to mechanize judgment is commendable but misguided.

Do the math - bottled water doesn't even move the dial compared to agriculture. Total US consumption of bottle water per year = 10 billion gallons or about 31,000 acre feet. An acre-foot is about what one household uses per year, so it's the equivalent of a small city. In contrast, California uses 38 billion gallons a DAY. Stopping bottled water will not solve the water crisis. Alfalfa would certainly have a bigger impact.
