Without multipliers, the miles correspond to the number of miles that you've travelled. If you got one mile for every mile and one mile let you buy one mile of travel, you'd never pay after your first flight.
I think I'll add that to my rationale for a points system.
My personal experience is, activities in the morning are more effective for weight loss. I used to walk ~4km in the evening for more than a year, but did not result in weight loss. But when switched to morning walk, I could see results in couple of months.
Probably it has something to do with glucose/sugar levels, which is lowest in the morning. Probably, the apps do not consider some such facts.
From a lifetime spent battling weight, I concur that morning exercise is best. I suspect that it primes the metabolism to run a little faster? Evening exercise never did much for me other than maintain muscle tone.
The body does some strange things as well. Trying to lose weight in late summer or fall is horridly difficult. I don't know if the body is preparing for winter or what, triggered by the shortening days, but I had to be in fighting trim for Hockey season by August, or else let the season wear it off around the beginning of the new year.
What the hell constitutes original content these days? Most movies are reboots,pleas, no more comic book superheros! And "original" content - read not a movie - is a cop show, a hospital show, a reality show with white midgets or sassy African ladies, or the always successful fallback, dumb fat guy and his smart, really hot wife.
Probably quite difficult. That said, miles probably don't mean what you think they mean.
Too bad they don't use a points system instead of stealing an actual measurement which sortakinda seems like it applies to something that can be measured, like miles which is an actual distance that the trip takes, but doesn't mean a damn thing in truth.
Yeah. The only question is "when" they hacked, not "if"
Yup. And here is how.
Law enforcement will want access in order to disable or alter the course of vehicles - OnStar does this already for the disable part. So now we have the backdoor in place.
Regular hackers will want to hack their setup a bit in order to get more speed on the highway.
Regular hackers will want to mess with traffic control systems.
Foreign actors will want to mess with or kill their enemy's leaders. Or even just randomly run a car off a cliff to mess with people's minds.
I am all in favor of assistive technologies. Anti-collision braking, anti-tailgating radar, lane centering assist. Great stuff, and helpful technology.
But if the internet has taught us nothing else, its that computers get pwned, that the internet of things is an unfolding disaster.
But then there isn't much that teaches us anything, so we're gonna do this.
Those are called light signals. The cars already have them. It is a completely separate questions that Americans think turn signals are something put for fashion and not practical use.
By the way, I just listened to the Sec of Transportation - Cars are going to be communicating with each other and the invironment and traffic signals around them.
How about going to the next exit and turning around if you can't make it? Apparently this is end of the world scenarios I see all the time when people follow gps. I just have to turn here, no matter I have to swerve across 3 lanes, or turn left from the right lane, I just have to!.
You could go to the next exit. Then again, depending where you are, the next exit might be some long way away, or an interchange with another interstate. But we digress.
This is nowhere remotely an end of the world scenario. It's a common occurrence where a change from the normal route is needed.
It is something that needs addressed because it makes for a messy situation. Whereas in my meatbag controlled vehicle, I can pretty easily negotiate from a third or fourth inside lane to the exit in a mile. I do this by looking out for other vehicles, and use turn signals, sometimes speeding up or slowing down. They also react to avoid giving me a problem or causing one for themselves. Its something we do so often we hardly think of it.
But when the human is 99 percent removed from the piloting of the fully autonomous vehicle, the meatbag's only purpose is to inform the vehicle where to go - the vehicle must perform all the other interactions with the world around it. Which means that these vehicles have to talk to each other when they are all fully autonomous.
And under your scenario, people must be prepared for huge changes in arrival time if they simply start taking semi random routes in the event of a change.
Those are called light signals. The cars already have them. It is a completely separate questions that Americans think turn signals are something put for fashion and not practical use.
I really don't think a fully autonomous car will use turn signals to alert other fully autonomous vehicles that it wants to move over lanes. Maybe in your design, probably not very many concepts will use your design though.
I will not buy one unless there is NO data broadcast off-vehicle.
Deal breaker. A fully autonomous vehicle fleet will need constant communications with other autonomous vehicles. Just moving around in city interstate traffic, getting info from other vehicles will be a must. Imagine being in the far left lane when the Significant other calls to tell you that you need to pick up one of the children who got sick at school, and the exit is a mile away and you're in traffic. You'll need a way to change the programming quickly, and the car will have to negotiate with the other cars to allow you to move over quickly.
Where we are right now, is the level of home heating/AC thermostat controls that are great if you never ever ever change your routines.
You may want to look up what she looks like before making a statement like that.
Unless you're into that kind of thing*
* I haven't looked myself but let's face it there's always someone into any kind of thing:-)
I'm envisioning a sort of scene like in an early Simpson's episode dealing with shock shock aversion therapy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Except today, they'd be using apps on a smartphone.
Anyhow, this woman is Streisanding the bejabbers out of her situation.
Making your own vacuum tubes can be fun, rewarding, and a hobby in itself.
But make no mistake, the hobby in itself part is the issue. A person won't dissolve into sound quality heaven goo by spending a weekend making their own hollow state system.
As well, they would get into the audiophile world of what exactly is quality sound. Vacuum tube sound is actually a distortion of the signal, not some hyper fidelity technology - before people get too outraged, I rather like the distortion it gives.
So if a person wants a new hobby - that's a pretty good one. You'll be learning everything that engineers learned about tubes over again, and having a lot of fun doing it. It'll cost a lot, and take some years, but you'll have some awesome bragging rights!
-1 Baseless Namecalling. There are many problems with the patent system, and IP laws in general. Corruption at the USPTO isn't one of them. If you have evidence of actual corruption -- you know, bribery, graft, extortion, embezzlement, favoritism based on political patronage -- please provide. Or are we all just going to become little Donald Trumps and say mean words instead of making reasoned arguments?
Would it be name calling to say the OP sounded like some alt+right screedism? Corruption versus a bad paradigm years ago by USPTO office people who didn't understand computing, and therefore didn't understand the unintended consequences.
Morally speaking if you invalidate a patent that a corrupt patent office approved without obvious due diligence, should you not be able to recover that cost from the corrupted patent office and then legally speaking be able to charge the approving officer of that patent with a constitutional crime ie approving a patent that did not adhere to constitutional requirements.
It wont ever be implemented as long as the previous is supported. Shoot my employer still supports IE 6 and would only still use it if MS didn't force change.
I said the same comment on previous story with Swift. People never learn once something is etched it is the word of God and is almost impossible to change
A fundamental difference between regular business people, and computery people. They don't want to rework everything, and we'll rework everything because of because.
In the connected world, everybody that produces any software at all uses it to collect every bit of data they can get their grubby mitts on.
Ask yourself why. This company isn't selling on data for advertising revenue, they are selling it purely to improve the product. If this leads to creating the perfect sex toy then keep on collecting.
Not all data collection can be lumped into the same category.
I hope they televise the trial, especially the part where she has to do a personal demonstration of how the internet dingus works.
The only way to retain one's privacy is to fight for it, as this lady is doing.
Or like - not use a vibrator that's connected to the internet.
The internet is not secure - period.
If you are going jam something up your parts that is connected to the internet, as a way of masturbating while aided by someone on the other end of the internet - well, read the previous sentence.

Tough crowd tonight!
I thought "calories" were a measure of tastiness.
Hence my mother's diet advice: If it tastes good, spit it out.
Must resist...........come on Ol! - resist!!!....... ARRRRGH!!!!!!

I think I'll add that to my rationale for a points system.
Actually, it basically is consumed calories - expenses calories. Thays
Nope. A calorie doesn't even signify food. And there's metabolism.
My personal experience is, activities in the morning are more effective for weight loss. I used to walk ~4km in the evening for more than a year, but did not result in weight loss. But when switched to morning walk, I could see results in couple of months.

Microsoft will 'solve' cancer within 10 years by 'reprogramming' diseased cells
I think I've seen this movie before.
It doesn't end well.
Everyone will die when Microsoft does an update, and bitches up our heart and brain drivers.
BSOD as apocalypse?
It certainly fits!
Is this the new buzz phrase for companies? Everything is always 5-10 years away, just you see!
Not yet. "5-10 years away" will be the buzzwords 5-10 years away.
