The article it came from points out that the dramatic decline in deaths per 100 million miles is almost entirely due to safer vehicles. It isn't that drivers don't suck, it's that we've gotten a lot better at protecting drivers when they do get in an accident.
Automated driving is more difficult than programming a computer to perform an FFT or designing a machine to screw on bottle caps. The reason it hasn't already occurred is because the technology required hasn't been available at a reasonable cost in the past.
The US Supreme Court ruled in Hurst v Florida (Jan 2016) that juries, not judges must determine a sentence of death. It is no longer legal in any jurisdiction of the US for a judge to sentence someone to death.
The vast majority of people in the US haven't purchased a vehicle in the past 3 years.
When Uber/Lyft not only control the driving experience but also the vehicles, it's going to greatly broaden appeal. Select your vehicle like you would from Avis. SUV, economy, luxury,... This weekend you take a cruise up the coast in a self-driving convertible, actually getting to spend some time looking at the sights on the way, during the week you pick the economy for trips to work and Friday night you take your special person out to dinner in a special car. At the end of the month you need to bring your kid home from college and an SUV rolls up to their dorm with room for all their stuff.
Sort of like being wealthy with a garage full of cars and a full-time driver who not only drives but maintains the vehicles.
Just not having a stranger sitting in the front seat is going to greatly broaden appeal.
Yes, you are subject to the laws of other countries
Attacking my computer isn't free speech. You want to speak, get a cardboard sign and march around my neighborhood with it and say whatever you want. Don't pretend that breaking into my computer and stealing my email is you freely speaking.
You sound like a burglar blaming his victims for not having better locks on their doors.
It was cheaper, faster and more economical than it's iCE sibling. I have never waited to charge it, it charges quite nicely in my garage and is always ready to go in the morning. I've used public charging stations but really only because it was there, not because i needed it. Example, parking garage downtown has EV parking spots with a free charger, might as well plug in while there. There are fast charging stations available that will get it to 80% of capacity in about 15 minutes. Even though there is one where I work, I have only used it just to see if it works (it isn't free).
My car lives in the desert and the heat hasn't degraded its battery one bit in the two years, still getting the same range I was getting when I got it. It's a moot point longer term because I leased it for 3 years.
The range has met all my local driving needs. On the rare occasions (once every couple of months) that I want to go somewhere close enough that I wouldn't prefer flying but too far to take my EV given its range, I rent an ICE. The ICE I rent is usually better suited for longer trips and the cost of the rental is offset entirely by the reduction in miles on my EV (15 cents/mi times 500 mile R/T = $75 = two day ICE rental).
An EV isn't for everyone, but mine has been a blast to drive, economical and a time saver.
The US Constitution gives Congress the power to determine the number of Supreme Court justices.
Congress set the current number of 9 with the Judiciary Act of 1869. Of note, the same act says a quorum requires 6 justices so 3 more justices leaving the court and the US Supreme Court is out of business. If there is sufficient rancor in appointments extending into to the next president's term of office it is entirely possible that Congress will find itself in the unpleasant situation of either amending the definition of a quorum or approving a president's nomination or explaining to the public why it is OK to shut down the US Supreme Court.
All letters display, it figures out which half your letter is in and re-displays just that set, repeat the down select until it figures out which you were "attending"
My LED bulbs all put out nice, pleasant light.
The old ones cost $1 to buy and $20 to operate for the year they operated. The new ones (not Hue) cost $5 to buy but last 5 times as long and use only $1 of electricity per year.
The new ones screwed into standard sockets, the new ones do too. I use the same dimmer switches and regular switches, no new rules to learn.
None of mine need software but you are welcome to buy some that do.
Now head back outside and tell the kids to stay off your lawn.
Let's make a list of some of the things that people steal:
Cash
Phones
Televisions
Art
Appliances
Furniture
You suggest the solution is to not own any of those things. No thanks, I actually like owning those things.
But thanks for playing the blame the victim game. Can't wait for your solutions to the problems of rape and murder.
The US doesn't beg for rides, it pays for a ride.
Just like I pay for an Uber ride instead of building my own car and using it. Makes sense for me, makes sense for NASA.
Buying rides to the ISS allowed the US to stop financially supporting the space shuttle and divert that funding towards a next generation vehicle.
The website discusses two things, the Turris Omnia with a link to their Indiegogo page and the rest is about their Turris project which is something different. The Turris router is not the Turris Omnia.
They are indeed rather a bit slow at "eradicating the entire school population of the country". So far they are only managing to kill about 0.0001% of the students each year. If we assumed no new students were created and all current students remained students then it would take them 1 million years to kill them all.
Quite slowly indeed.
I'm much more concerned about an errant driver running my kids down as they walk to school than I am about gun numbers eradicating them.
A highly curated community of like minded individuals sounds like the opposite of diversity.
Or maybe they'll have a few tokens allowed in so they can point with pride to their open-minded brand of like mindedness.
Video cameras don't have high enough resolution to produce good quality scans of printed material.
A standard 300dpi scan of an 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper results in 8.5m pixels.
This particular device claims it has 16m pixels which would be about right to be able to cover a scanning surface area that appears to be bigger than an 8.5 x 11" sheet.
Another approach might be to detect when a page has been turned using a low resolution video sensor and using that to trigger the higher resolution camera.
I have a SnapScan, its sheet feeder won't hold an entire book and the process of scanning hundreds of pages each from many books will generate substantial wear on a SnapScan. There also tend to be misfeeds that you need to manually fix. SnapScan is great at what it does but I wouldn't want to destroy books and manually feed them through it if a cheaper, faster, non-destructive method existed.
A digital camera on a tripod PLUS...
Proper lighting
Foot pedal interface
Lots of software to take the pictures, manipulate the images and stitch them all together into an eBook
So a bit more than just a digital camera and a tripod
