Standing in front of an elevator, standing in the elevator and then a busy escalator, for five minutes down and five minutes back, don't count as walking
Yeah, that would be a real problem if building only had elevators. Buildings are required to have stairs and in most cases they are publicly accessible. The summary specifically mentions a "leisurely 5 minute walk" so it may be as simple as walking to the restroom/coffee and back once an hour. If that doesn't take quite long enough then go to the coffee/restroom one floor down. I know when I worked at HP which wasn't a too big of building just getting from one end of the building to the other took more than 5 minutes so you could just probably just walk to the end of the building and back. In most cases people will just think you are going to another office to talk to someone.
1. If there's 1 person in the road there may be more people on the sides of the road.
I would hope that a computerized car that swerved or pulled over would make sure to at least hit less obstructions than the original obstruction.
2. A rolling car at highway speeds can smash LOTS of people on it's way down
Again, I would hope that a computerized car would be able to know how fast it can safely swerve so that it never rolls and would only swerve it it knew it could do it safely.
3. Straight line stopping distances are actually shorter.
This is a valid point if it is truly quicker to stop than it is to change lanes. I kindof doubt that is the case at highway speeds though.
The correct solution for an "unusual event" is almost always either "stop or pull over". If there is something on the highway that's not suppose to be there then you should avoid it and/or stop. A decent camera should be able to spot an accident, weather, or road construction a long ways off and find a safe spot to pull over and disengage. For sudden events like a tire blowout, the correct solution is almost always to immediately stop the vehicle and/or safely pull over.
Basically, you don't have to plan for 100% of unknown or unusual events if you have a decent failsafe that can detect that something is out of place and can immediately bring the vehicle to a safe stopping place.
Not to mention that the best option for surprise wildlife is 'drive straight'. Many will reflexively attempt to turn to avoid the animal and end up rolling.
Although I mostly agree with this in theory and also, in theory, people should never be on the interstate if you go this direction then you better make sure your "is this an animal or a person" algorithm is rock solid.
If being a speed servo is a challenging job for you, I suggest that driving is right out.
Great suggestion. How exactly would one do that? I'm the first to admit. I suck at driving. I'm pretty good on a racetrack but everyday driving I am a hazard to myself and others. I live 5 miles outside of town. There is no public transportation. A taxi might be willing to take me into town but it would cost a fortune and a taxi isn't really practical for running errands. Luckily I work from home and I'm also a much better motorcycle driver than I am a car driver so I try to use my motorcycle as often as I can but giving a suggestion of "don't drive" isn't a very valid suggestion if there are no reasonable alternatives.
It DOES have ongoing costs to people who live in the region, and they aren't small.
I think this depends a lot on the location, the size of the dam, and what was there before. In many cases you are creating a lake where nothing of significant value existed before. A community springs up around the lake and many times a state park with protected wildlife areas surrounds the lake too. In many cases the area is not only better for people but it's better for the wildlife too.
But then there are the other ecological costs: loss of fish and fisheries for many thousands of square (not to mention linear) miles of waterway.
I would have to see some stats on that. The places I know that have dams have been a boom to fish populations. There are more fish, more fisheries, alot more water for them to swim in and alot more shoreline for them to eat at. It probably does affect certain migrating fish populations but where I live the fish population of things like bass and catfish are larger and healthier because of the dams.
Multiple companies have started annoucing these "enhanced" cruise controls. I don't like them at all. Regular cruise control is sedating enough. You don't need more reasons to not pay attention to the road unless it's 100% completely autonomous. This is just an accident waiting to happen. Do they want to erode people's confidence and get autonomous cars outlawed before they even really exists? I realise this is supposably an "incremental improvement" towards automation but I don't think autonomous cars work that way. An "incremental improvement" that won't get someone killed would be a car/truck/RV that can safely drive on just interstates and/or safely pull over. This seems like a much lower bar than the city driving that google is trying to do and would be a useful "incremental improvement". You could map out which interstates it works on and only engage at speeds over 60 when the GPS says you are on a designated safe highway. This would be a useful feature that is truly hands free and allows a company to slowly start adding roads as the technology improves but the important part is that it would be a cruise control that you didn't have to babysit and more important it would be a cruise control where it was safe to take a nap not one where it's tempting to take a nap so people will do it and get killed (and kill other people in the process).
Not saying I like it but I think his outfit is fine. Why is his logo black though if his outfit is red? If his logo would have also been red he probably would have never attracted the disney police.
To fight Disney on anything mouse related is just dumb
What???? So as Disney is the biggest, baddest mouse then noone should fight them? What if disney decided they wanted to license mousetraps or pest control companies?
Trademark law generally allows entities in different areas to have similiar trademarks as long as they are non overlaping. Fighting them (although because of their size will be difficult) should be encouraged. Ignoring for a moment that Mickey Mouse should be public domain by now, allowing companies blanket use of generic things like "the mouse", "windows", "the like button", "the buy it now button", etc... is a quick way to have megacorporations eliminate what little remains of competition.
I do something similiar. I use openvpn and x11vnc. I have a cron on each client that runs a small perl script that grabs the output of several programs like top, uptime, and sensors and then saves the results in an easy to parse file that my server periodically grabs so that I have stuff like cpu temperature, cpu usage, memory usage, etc... I also grab a screenshot of x11vnc using vnccapture. I also have a way to remotely activate reverse ssh if for some reason openvpn fails. My only problem with openvpn is key management. Creating and distributing unique keys to each client is kindof a pain.
Sure, but dinosaurs aren't reptiles, so not sure what relevance that has. Now if an ostrich continued to grow throughout its life, or perhaps a chicken...
Kangaroos, fish, and crocodiles (which are commonly refered to as one of the closest living relative) never stop growing. I'm sure there are some birds that do as well but if nothing else the shear size difference between the dinosaurs and the birds means that at some point the mechanism that is in charge of growth probably changed.
It's not uncommon in many reptiles to just never stop growing. I wonder if some of these dinosaurs are just exceptionally large specimens of already know dinosaurs instead of entirely new species.
Why would the pads need to be on a server at all? A single 1 time pad written on a piece of paper would suffice. Even 100 digits would be easy enough to type in if you needed to disable a device. It might be a pain if you're unfortunate enough to have several thousand missiles stolen but still fairly doable in a matter of hours. Have 2 copies of the pad. One given to the purchaser of the device and one locked in a safe somewhere away from the conflict. If the purchaser is lucky enough to lose the gun and keep the code he can disable it himself otherwise he needs to call the manufacturer to disable it. Many devices like guns this wouldn't work for as you could disable it and it could still be usable. The software on smart missiles on the otherhand would become useless. The explosives could maybe still be salvaged but the intelligence should be able to be permanently disabled making them far less useful.
There's an even simpler solution. Let the kids use one of the many free TI emulators on whatever android/iphone they have. Here's one for $5 that runs an actual rom from an actual TI. https://play.google.com/store/... In this case you might need to tell TI that you will only continue using their calculator if they give you a license to use their rom on an emulator. Then when it's test time, you give them an official TI for the test. Regardless of how dumbed down the calculator is suppose to be if you are worried about cheating it seems like a very bad idea to allow a student to bring their own electronic device to a test. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to open the case of a ti-84 and install a 64G microsd card or the equivalent. Instead of having an exam mode and approved apps, just provide a device for the exam. If you needed to provide android/iphones then you could do that too as you only need one set assuming you schedule exams accordingly and you don't have to worry about people rooting their phones, exiting exam mode, etc... If a school can't afford to buy 30 devices for exams then it shouldn't be requiring it's students to be buying 1000+ of those same devices.
I thought the whole purpose of 4chan was that "anything goes". If they start censoring it then all the people that are there will just move somewhere else that is not restricted.
Which makes me wonder why they really would sell out. The only thing I can think of is using a bigger company to help with their DCMA issues.
I can think of 970 million reasons why they might have decided to sell out. They are at the top of their game and growing so can currently command a premium. This is an all cash option so this money goes straight to the bank. Now, even if someone does run them out of business they are still set for life. If I had to choose between being like Steve Wozniak or Bill Gates, I would chose to be like Wozniak and exit early. Yes, Bill Gates is the richest man in the world but Wozniak still has plenty of money and plenty of fun because $100 million is plenty for that. Wozniak didn't get hurt by selling out early. He's probably had alot less stressful life than Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. There is no way Bill Gates can spend all his money himself. That's why he has a huge charity. People like Rockefeller eventually realize that they have more money than they can reasonably spend and then are forced to donate it but some people like Steve Wozniak learn that earlier.
Either way MC's gonna be swimming in the dough, as like with most gargantuan financial institutions, they make much of their money by taking the money put into them (including in this case debts and interest) and investing in stocks with it.
Um, no. That's not how credit cards works at least in the US. In the US, credit cards don't have float that they can invest in the stock market. You can't invest "debt and interest" in the stock market. You can sell "debt and interest" to other people but you can't invest a negative. Insurance companies have float and some (like warren buffet) are grandfathered in and allowed to invest in the stock market. Credit card companies have "reverse float". They are giving away float to their customers so they have nothing of value that they can invest in the stock market. They give away this float to their customers with the hopes that the customer overspends and they can profit from the fees/interest.
People are expensive because money is "stored people". It's basically a store of labor. People pay money to let someone else do the labor when they can't or don't want to. Your new iphone if followed down enough steps is almost 100% labor. The raw materials cost money because of the labor required to create them. We have things like robots, machines, animals, etc.. that reduce the amount of human labor at one step but all those still require human labor to maintain them.
No, a plea bargain is a forced confession under the duress of being threatened with being tried for extra charges that the prosecutor does not believe you can legitimately be convicted of.
Yes, a plea bargain is basically:
"you might get 5 years for this and 20 years for this and we'll try to pin these other 3 random things on you too so why
don't you just accept 3 years and save us both alot of time and money" but it still comes down to either what the police think they can pin on or what they can make you believe that they can pin on you in a trial. At the end of the day it's still both sides evaluating "what are my odds of winning and what do I get" vs "what are my odds of losing and what do I lose". If there is a video tape (or a missing video tape that should be there) then you have alot more negotiation power even in the pretrial and there's a good chance that if the video tape is missing or doesn't make the cop look good that they are going to quickly try to drop the charges or settle out of court.
All said, since most prosecutions end up plea-bargains this may be moot, but for those that go to trial...?
You make it sound like plea bargains and trials are independent events. Plea bargains are based on what each party believes is the most likely outcome of a trial. An attorney could easily argue for a different plea if the tape was damaged or missing because both sides know that this will change the odds in a jury trial. A police officer that "lost" his video would be much more likely to want to strike a plea bargain as it puts him at a great disadvantage if it comes down to a trial. And as the original article states, many times the officercam might not be the only video of the crime.
I'd agree. Halfway automation is a disaster waiting to happen. You could possibly have two buttons though:
1) a "try to stop safely" button which would attempt to pull over to the side of the road and stop (similiar to a computer's shutdown command)
2) a "full stop" button which immediately powers down and comes to a complete stop. (similar to holding down the power button or pulling the plug) A third option of ejecting the passenger would be a nice option too if there was a way to do it safely. This could possibly be done automatically when a collision is unavoidable as well.
Because even if YOU happened to do that, you're in the minority. In the US, they might (sometimes reluctantly) sell directly to the consumer but it's a small fraction of their overall sales. Their actual customers (att,verizon, etcc) do market to the consumer so they do need features that consumers want but the phone service companies still have a large say on what is and is not included.
When all of the male-dominated fields are vastly higher paid than the female-dominated fields, I don't think it is the women keeping it that way.
Are you sure about this? I think alot of it is selection bias. Men tend to prioritize money more than women. Men are probably more likely to chose a job that pays better even if it hurts their family life. It's no wonder men on average make more than women because they are choosing their jobs based on pay. Women chose children, helping others, less stressful work, etc... more than men. One main reason for this (besides biology) is that women are less likely to be the bread winner. When you compare single childless never married women to single childless never married men then on average WOMEN ACTUALLY MAKE MORE THAN MEN
why men often avoid female dominated jobs such as primary school teaching, nursing, housekeeping, secretarial / office management, social working, accounting and the like.
I've actually met more male accountants than female accounts. The rest is still a matter of taste and/or pay. Men can many times find other jobs they like better that also pay better. Women like to take care of people. I know many women who chose social work, nursing, teaching, etc.. because that was their passion. Not near as many men have that as a passion and although lots of men like children alot of men don't want to spend all day with them. No gender preference is absolute but alot of it does seem to be genetic and there is enough of a tilt one way or the other to slant different professions without the need to bring conspiracy into it.
