Let's assume that most electric cars will have at least partially autonomous systems in 8 years (say 80%) whereas only something like 10% of ICE cars will have partial autonomous systems. EVEN STILL I would wager that autonomous ICE cars will outsell autonomous electric ones...
Yep, this guy is so high on crack, I don't even know how he'll respond to the idea that some people drive 600-1000 miles in a day and don't want to swap self driving cars 4 times because they run out of range and it'll take half a day to recharge them. Can't even fathom where you are going to find these self driving electric cars in rural areas... I can barely find a radio station and that's ancient technology!
Nope, carbon based fuels aren't going to be dead for at least 50 years I'd wager... It's just too good of an energy transportation to walk away from.
I would argue that making a program to complete the test should be extra credit AS LONG as you can confirm you authored the program. Using a program to answer questions on a test isn't the problem, it's people using a program that someone else made and they don't understand.
If you can program a computer to give you the correct answer every time, you really understand the math behind it. Sure, you might get a program to give you correct answers out of sheer luck, but if you test edge cases and they work too, the programmer is an expert on the subject.
I'm not even impressed until a mythological 3 digit comes into the discussion... Then again I was stupid and anonymous in the early days of Slashdot, so I can't participate.
This is the case on engineering exams in my opinion. The available multiple choice answers are often ones you'd expect to get from simple mistakes like sign errors or unit conversions. You really need to know your shit or they will know you're shit.
Their support people didn't know this and they didn't list it in their requirements, but I'm guessing this is why I've never been able to download shows for offline viewing on my OnePlus One. Cyanogen is probably blocked from that functionality... I guess the Netflix app is pointless for me now because if I have WiFi, I'm watching on my laptop screen and I'm sure as hell not going to watch Netflix using mobile data.
Congestion is horrible in part because people in the 1960s and 1970s decided that development and highways were bad and stopped projects to make new ones to handle the increasing population. So we end up with 1950s designed highway networks with 10x the traffic. Adding 6 lanes to an originally 2 lane highway is a band-aid, not a solution.
That is incorrect. ALL concrete cracks. It's just a matter of how big the cracks are. Concrete is in no way impermeable, it just typically leaks at a rate well below that of evaporation of what it is containing. If you want impermeable, you're looking at welded metal which is what this stuff is currently stored in. Sadly welded metal is typically carbon steel which degrades over time and radioactive waste is particularly corrosive...
Safety systems and guarding go away when you eliminate the need for humans to be in the plants anymore. You just lock the door and keep meat sacks away from the real workers.
This is true to an extent, but the jig is up once a robot can be programmed to learn. CGPGrey said it best. Humans will become like horses. Employable mostly for recreational and ceremonial purposes, but replaced with machines for getting real work done. And in general, populations decreased precipitously after they were no longer as useful... Luckily this appears to be somewhat self correcting as wealthier populations tend to have less children and even an apparent negative growth rate.
Yes, because there aren't any homeless people in Paris playing horrible accordion music on the RER and shouting what I can only assume is a desperate plea for money...
Trump was by far the most utterly incompetent person and somehow he is managing the job. Gary Johnson may not have been able to articulate his positions well, but that hardly makes him incapable. He WAS the governor of a state for two terms. It's not the same as being President, but it is executive decision making experience and he did quite well. How much of your view of Johnson's capabilities was formed by the way the media portrayed him vs his actual business and government experience and record?
Stein by the way isn't even in the same category. Her experience was in being a protest organizer which is practically worthless experience, but it seemed to serve Obama well...
Really? Explain to me how a successful businessman and former governor who smokes a little recreational weed and has a wacky sense of humor is worse than a corrupt politician who destroys evidence and a reality television star that spouts continual lies and attacks on anyone who questions him?
Hillary was so bad of a candidate that she could only be competitive against an idiot like Donald Trump. Trump was so bad of a candidate that he could only be competitive against a corrupt career politician like Hillary Clinton.
The people are so bought into the cycle of voting for the lesser evil that even with historically polarizing, horrible, and unliked candidates, 3rd parties still barely got 2.5% of the vote...
Was it? You want private access, have a private road. If it's paid for with public funds and it's not gated, as long as laws are followed it's fair game.
I got asked if I wanted to transfer my service to a friend or family member... I'm not that evil and it hurts to think about how assholes might exist that would do this to somebody...
Not content to just fuck you at home, now they fuck you in your workplace as well!
I just got a letter explaining that to service me better, they are increasing the fee they charge to re-broadcast the channels I can get for free over the air.
Except I was gaming at 1600x1200 back in the late 90s... So really haven't gained many pixels compared with the 1920x1080 typical resolution of screens today.
My problem was that the multi player and single player were built differently. The single player was more strategy focused as most of the micromanaging was automated (SCVs would automatically start harvesting, and automatically repair stuff around them). Nope, in the multiplayer, it was all about the clicks... Who can click faster? APM shouldn't be the sole factor in victory in a strategy game.
They are also designed for SUVs to take at 25mph and my poor Miata has to crawl over them to not scrape. Hope you enjoy all the extra brake dust and exhaust from vehicles unnecessarily braking and accelerating through your neighborhood!
Yes, and the Eurostar runs several daily Paris to London runs and it's a pretty short trip at around 2-1/2 hours. I can't see how an electric plane in 10 years could compete with an electric train that already exists.
Rand McNally is kind of irrelevant at this point, and the National Geographic Society moved on to the Winkel tripel, but it was the world map of choice when I was growing up to show a clean, proportional, and relatively accurate picture of the world. The Winkel just looks odd to me with curved lattitude lines.
I'm not sure why you can't separate someone being guilty from someone being guilty under the law and punished for it. A child that tells a lie is guilty, but isn't going to be thrown in jail. There is a different standard for someone being guilty in a moral and objective sense and someone being legally declared guilty where the state can forcibly apply a penalty.
My question for you is why is it less concerning that the government is withholding information showing that Hillary broke no laws than it is that she broke the law and they are just sweeping it under the rug? What is the harm of showing whatever evidence is available proving Hillary was completely within the laws to do what she did? It's one of those questions that just can't be ignored. If the moon landing was faked, what incentive is there for people in on the conspiracy to not release the truth?
In Hillary's case, a lot of people's jobs and riches are all hinged on her never being prosecuted. And those people are the ones who decide if she is prosecuted or not. Sure there are people who want to see Hillary in jail, but those same people don't want a case because I'm fairly certain that both sides are doing shit like this and they don't want too much digging into how widespread the problem is. They are all in the same worm can and don't want anyone to dig.
I've never heard someone arguing so hard that a judge shouldn't hear a case because a prosecutor might have hidden evidence of innocence. Don't the citizens of a country deserve to hear in a court of law all of the evidence showing their leaders aren't corrupt?

Slight correction... The government demanded that workers get paid in THEIR scrip instead of companies printing their own...

Actually, it's more like a quarter of the landmass...
