    Autopilot already means self-driving. Auto + Pilot. On top of it, they call it "enhanced" auto pilot - selling it as something better than self-driving.

    If the driver's attention can be ensured, I think it's pretty indisputable that "vehicular sensors and constant attention" plus "human senses and reasoning" is going to be by far the safest option

    Human ingenuity remains to be tested with the challenge of fooling the Tesla's eye tracking technology into thinking the driver is paying attention, whereas actually the driver is daydreaming.

    Your dishonesty was , e.g. in "If someone offers me a gift, and if I accept that gift".

    Many chivalrous activities don't require any active acceptance - and not minding at times means just not throwing a hissy fit at someone holding a door open for you.

    In the above statement of yours that I quoted, I would like you to show how accept means not mind , replace" accept " with "not mind" and hilarity ensues.

    Try your statement again , replacing "accept" with "not mind". Let's have a laugh at your logic.

    Nope.

    I don't mind people being wrong on the internet. I don't accept it.

    Anyway, if "accept" and "not mind" really did mean the same thing you would not have played the dirty trick of replacing words. If , for the sake of argument i say that you did it owing to a mistake, try using the correct words "not mind" in your post, and laugh at the resulting stupidity yourself.

    OK, you are the rambling type:
    1. Can you understand the difference between expecting and minding ?
    2. How is not minding the chivalry, the fault of the women who don't mind the chivalry ?

    The planet is absolutely fine, not getting destroyed at all. Humans, and some other life forms on it, on the other hand, are going to have a harder time. Some might go extinct. Not the planet, though.

    "Can you understand the difference ?" is an interesting question from you. You object to "feminists" even when they don't mind chivalry. You say chivalry doesn't help the person doing it- fair enough, but he is doing it so he could be doing it in his understanding of his noble "duties" that you so adore.

    "Minding" chivalry is an act of violence, an interference in another man's life choices even if it does not affect you materially. Expecting chivalry is, also an attempt to dominate, and in that sense an instance of violence.

    The only non-violent way is to neither expect nor mind chivalry. Can you understand the difference ?

    Thanks, if there were news articles , my first attempt at googling would have succeeded.

  10. Re: Thunderbird or AlPine on Slashdot Asks: Which Is Your Favorite Email Client? · · Score: 1

    A mail client has the following responsibilities :

    1. Fetching mail (by keeping track of accounts, authenticating etc.)
    2. Storing mail : and making it easy to search, archive, backup, view/transport in various ways
    3. Composing and sending mail

    You have relieved Thunderbird of the responsibility no. 2 above. I have also relieved it, to a certain extent, BTW. But this does not mean that it is not bad at that responsibility.

    Storing mail in its own mbox format is a weakness. Calling it standard mbox is still wrong.

    No, calling the mail storage of Thunderbird "mbox" is a stretch. Calling it "standard mbox format" is wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    So you have evidence of every individual of entire populations being at fault for something ? Including the unborn babies ?

  17. When you use words like "can", then what are you doing?

    Indicating a possibility.

    Most entries in most dictionaries of most languages have more than one definitions. One word means many things. This much is irrefutable in the world of adult communication.

    So a word " can " mean X it could mean Y.

    If you avoid vague labels, you'd have to opt out of talking in human languages - they are made of nothing but vague labels.

  18. For most of its recorded usage, "libertarian" meant anarchist

    Even left-wing, statist ways to promote liberty have been categorized as libertarian. It is highly doubtful if they will promote liberty - but it at least confirms that "libertarian" has been used for people (trying to) promote liberty in a wide variety of ways.

  19. So, you finally realized you had not really understood the definitions as well as you claimed ?
