It would be far harder to grift money from flat earthers for just a Hawaiian vacation. Plus less welding and high-g related injuries which I think he was aiming for.
What we need is a reality tv show about an intrepid group of flat earthers who set off on an epic journey to the edge of the earth. We can bask in season after season of them trying to get closer and closer, climbing the government sponsored ice cliffs that keep the public ignorant. It can have an epic plot twist where they are about to freeze to death in the Antarctic, only for global warming to save them at the last minute. If they couldn't find Bigfoot in 8 seasons, we should be good for at least 10.
The infrared depth of field sensor is awesome, it's really too bad it's only used for authentication and to aid in making hilarious face augmentations. I would like to see it used as part of a 3D scanning system. Want an item you have put into a game or virtual reality program? Just scan it in. Want to copy a 3D object, scan it up and get a cad file for your 3-D printer. You can use mosaicking similar to panorama shots to stitch it together. This tech has some really neat possibilities.
You can keep your passcode, even make it quite long with numbers letters and symbols. You are not forced to use it any more than you were forced to use the fingerprint reader.
How about instead of regulating Facebook, America gets some real data privacy laws and criminal enforcement that regulates everything including Facebook.
It's often less that the simulations are inaccurate examples of reality than the few metrics that are optimized for are not representative of reality. The deep learning alrorithms have no idea what is going on, but simply make numerous instances of small changes to its algorithms and then rates which is better using that better score(s) . It then uses the better performing algorithm and repeats the process. Though as you said, the computer is still doing exactly what you ask - it's just the how is suprising because of the limitations of the human operator to simulate what probable outcomes are.
Snowden showed us how the NSA has equipment installed on the internet backbone all over the world, you wouldn't need to install malware on each device. But I seriously doubt they would stop there, beyond the obvious hacking tools (for example the ones the NSA lost incompetently like a toddlers gloves on a bus that caused the wanna cry epidemic), there is a new push to put the malware in dedicated hardware enclaves right on the chip. If you want an example of how social media and seemingly innocuous data can be used I suggest this clip because creating a psy-ops weapon to sway an election aka Facebook/Cambridge Analytica is about a 3/10. We are about 7-10 years out on the onboard computational power using moores law and the battery energy density only needs to increase about 10 fold to make those micro swarm bots a reality.
No camera installed on a driverless car should be a shitty throwback to 1990s spy cams. Its 2018 now and the performance you are talking about is barely acceptable in 40 dollar phones.
I agree. Look at how well lit the stretch of road is at night The camera view uber showed us was either purposefully darkened (just look at a histogram of a random frame or two), or the camera had an insufficient light sensitivity. The driver, had she not been texting but paying attention, would have had 5-6 seconds to do something. That said, I agree putting a human safety driver in the seat for 200 hours doing nothing except take over on a seconds notice is safety theater.
I always thought of the possibility of existing as a soul equivelant. The possibility of each human that ever lived was a real solution to the laws of physics and a finite nonzero probability since time began (if began is even the right word). The possibility cannot be destroyed any more than you can destroy an electron from being a real possibility, and it is as eternal as the physical reality we live in. Each person has a large number of collective states that describe them, from conception, through birth, childhood, adulthood, and near the end of life. Each breath you take, each skin cell you shed, each molecule you incorporate into your body, each movement inside your body, transitions you from one state to another but they were all baked into the universe as real solutions to the laws of physics. It is the sequential progression of these states, since without them you would not even experience time or really be conscious, that defines who we are as people. What makes us special is the emergent behavior that those states create from the simple laws and plethora of particles that is reality. No religion or even untestable assumptions are needed.
to answer the question using this idea, it would be taking a base state and forking it. You wind up with two unique individuals, however it really is not much different from the state to state progression we experience each second of our lives.
Since we are talking Star Trek, this has all ready been directly answered. Riker beams up, but leaves a copy. Years later, he is rediscovered by the enterprise crew. Dr. Crusher and Jordi agree they are identical and equally "Riker" so it must be true. Eventually the duplicate wanders off to lead a life of his own. Glad I could wrap that up for everyone scientifically, once and for all.
We have good data for bad weather, rush hour sun low in the sky, distracted driver, teenage driving - one death per 86 million miles. We now have one to for autonomous cars 1 to 3 deaths (depending on how you count) per 15-20million miles. Given these vehicles deal with nothing hard, I'd guess the autonomous cars we have today are 100x more deadly. There is no real apples to apples data because humans don't drive exclusively on easy street.
Trump dosent need those dotards. He is now going to represent himself and testify in front of Mueller. I was losing faith in him, but with this it is restored.
Not if ajit Pai gets his way. Corporate freedom to censor and block at the isp level, good luck with choice to get around it too. All in the name of corporate freedoms.
Agree 100%. It's too bad because on the no FKs given end it's uber, and on the cautious, leading tech, and admitting it's not reasybside is waymo. No matter what it is the turd on the playground seems to stick to everyone's feet.

You are on to something. I took out my level and measured it directly to see if it was flat. It was clearly off 5 degrees.
I didn't know the Kinect was a phone now.

Has back doors for government access (and probably without due process)
In the slim chance case it didn't, it does now. Any government from any country now can get it no questions asked.

It's comforting your post is still up.
Worse, the scene was actually well lit to the point this should be vehicular homicide
I agree. Look at how well lit the stretch of road is at night The camera view uber showed us was either purposefully darkened (just look at a histogram of a random frame or two), or the camera had an insufficient light sensitivity.

No social media accounts will be the next round of privacy victims. You don't have one? You must be hiding something!

Felonia vonPantsuit is now my new favorite user name. Thank you!

Not if ajit Pai gets his way. Corporate freedom to censor and block at the isp level, good luck with choice to get around it too. All in the name of corporate freedoms.
And with net neutrality repealed, all isp and even DNS will soon be free to censor him and block access. All in the name of corporate freedoms.
I would think gun magazine would be better.

The rush is on to fire 10 million vehicle drivers, with all that potential money on the table who cares if it isn't safe! #uberlogic
