Yep there is the potential to have vastly quicker driving with autonomous cars - speed limits multiples of what they are now, intersections with no lights and cars driving straight through at high speed, adjusting their timing slightly to pass each other by inches. The windows of the car will have to be blacked out to keep people from being terrified at what their car is doing. Active cabin tilt control can help mask the G-forces of high speed turns.
Once there are no human drivers on the road running reds and exceeding speed limits, the profit motives for these rules will disappear and the rules can begin to adjust.
They could be, but right now they sure as hell aren't. Earlier this year I saw the best autonomous car trying to drive around a race track, going a lot slower than a human and sawing at the wheel like a spaz.
If you read the whole report, the most suspicious things they have on him are that he's an academic in biology like this spy they're looking for codenamed "ROBPROF," and he wrote reviews for a defunct magazine that had a similar name to a defunct communist publication.
Then in the last page they say that even though none of this really matches up, they should still consider that he could be ROBPROF and they should keep an eye on him because his "background contains information inimical to the best interests of the United States" 8-(
Too bad there's no use for jellyfish in traditional Chinese medicine. No it's always tiger dicks and rhino horns and elephant tusks and other stuff from endangered species.
Actually...hey you know I heard that eating about 10lbs of jellyfish per day will totally make your dick huge and hard and give it super-strength, 4 realz. Pass it on! Especially eastward!
Yep I'm not an American but there are two lower-ranking US politicians I know of well: Lamar Smith, the biggest anti-science moron in the pack, and Ron Wyden, the only one who consistently represents the interest of the common man.
We could test everyone on the planet to see if they're aroused by child porn, on a monthly basis, and put them on the sex offenders' list if they are. We could run random house searches for child porn and interrogate any kids in the house to make sure they aren't being sexually abused.
Yet we don't do this. Why, when more kids could be saved?
For the same reason we shouldn't be spying on everyone's communications. It's true that a few lives will be lost in a free society that would have been saved in a panopticon. You have to decide if they're worth it.
Seems like you don't underatand the meaning of tolerance in the political context either. A person who is "tolerant" towards bigotry is allowing it to perpetuate through inaction. To use an extreme but perfectly valid example, it's like saying the person who stands by and allows a hate crime to happen is more "tolerant" than the person who tries to stop it somehow. More harmful action, same problem.
Tolerance means anti-discrimination, not allowance for just anything.
Contrary positions are not bigoted just because they conflict with yours.
That's right, this contrary position is bigoted because it discriminates against people based on their sexuality.
Now how is a boycott against a man because of his speech "tyranny" while an effort to deny rights to a group by sexual orientation through legislation is not?
The political definition of tolerance is not the same as the mechanical one, synonymous with "allowance." It means being against discrimination, this is why you can't make the idea collapse on itself with this childish attempt at a logic trick.
You can be against homosexuality (generally due to religious beliefs) and not have a phobia about it.
What new word would you like to be used for people who are only effectively but not technically homophobes due to the source of their desire for oppression? I'd consider using it, even though it would be a useless distinction.
Separating art from the creator is all too often a very important skill, that too many people lack.
I can separate art from the creator just fine and will eventually enjoy the movie. I can't separate my ticket purchase from his profit though.
+1 Will watch when a DVD/BR rip hits TPB. He can be racist and homophobic with somebody else's money.

This. The guy was a multi-millionaire but couldn't be assed to make fake ID cards in-house or separate his identity as Silk Road admin from one he used on the web to promote the site, among many other things. Someone smart behind the wheel would have made it unstoppable.
Modern table saws have a safety feature where flesh being in contact with the blade can be electrically detected (leading to the blade being retracted into the table so fast that you wouldn't be hurt if you fell on it, but that's not the point).
If the same sort of detection could be used on the knife blade, it could be used to tell the robot to quickly reverse the movement of the knife and stow it.
Not to mention that once you've been in jail you're pretty much unemployable (aside from a few jobs in rap music and computer security consulting, if you have one of those talents). You're doomed to destitution from then on. That's a heavy price to pay.
It's not impressive for the price (no electric car will be, because it's like paying most of the fuel costs up-front), but still a very good time overall.

Came here to say this, it's all about the malware. Tons of malware apps use Chrome plugins.

It's better! He Rule 34'd the Godwin of the Streisand effect! (or something like that).
At first I thought your definition was wrong, but it turns out it's just a few hundred years out of date:

The only EMP weapons that can cause damage on a scale greater than "annoying" are nukes set off in the upper atmosphere.
Try using one of those, NK, and come back and tell us about all the non-glassed land you don't have.
Most they could do is build some EPFCGs and drop them on the US from balloons WW2 Japan-style, to black out a few city blocks.
Holy shit, 4100? Is that ALL the bitcoins!?!? XD

Yes, one can ask for respect for their bigotry through all manner of silly word games.
Got a source? I don't really doubt it but I want proof that he's a bald-faced liar on top of being a bigot.

They already got all the site data, I guess they didn't like the idea of using as a farm to raise easily bustable kingpins with.
He's the only worse CEO, and the only one nearly crappy enough.

It's also worth considering that the police have countermeasures against a DDoS attack on the prison system:
