  3. Re:Why cities and towns? on Waymo Built a Fake City In California To Test Self-Driving Cars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking mainly of who would want to adopt this first. People in cities and towns? Or people who have to struggle with highway traffic everyday? I also feel that tackling the hazards on a highway as far easier than those on city and town roads. There are a lot less variables on a highway than on a city street. I also don't feel that infrastructure would be a major hurdle. We already have HOV lanes on most major highways. I just feel like the focus has been too much on the wrong problem.

    And no, not an engineer. Just a humble developer.

    Why not focus on the real and more fixable issue of highway commutes? Am I way off base in thinking that it would be far easier and safer to introduce fully autonomous cars onto highways first? Infrastructure wise you could first establish autonomous only lanes then gradually make all highways autonomous once the technology has been vetted and has become ubiquitous.

    What ever happened to the populace deciding the direction of society rather than the Government or US Corporations?

    Uummmmmmmm, last time I checked the "Government" IS the populace. So nothing happened to it. It's right there doing what it's supposed to do.

    It's the simplest and easiest way to send money to someone with no surcharge which is why it is popular. Plus, you can turn off the social part of it which surprisingly most people don't do.

    Democrats allowed North Korea to develop nuclear weapons, and they are an imminent threat to use them.

    Ummm, say what now? Are you just an idiot or are you intentionally trying to rewrite history? Because it was the Bush administration who completely ignored NK in favor of fucking up the Middle East. NK left the the Non-Proliferation treaty in 2003 and had their first successful test in 2006. Every single fucking existential threat that faces our country today is the direct result of Republican geopolitical policies.

    We should just trust you on this right? No need to ask an AC for sources.

  16. Your problem was thinking that voting for president would help your cause. You vote for a president to deal with other nations, make sure we're safe, and to work with Congress to help shape the path of the country on a macro level. Want to really influence your life with your vote? Then pay attention to and get involved in your local politics. As far as I'm concerned, no one who doesn't put more effort into their government than just voting has no right to complain about the outcomes.

  17. 1) You're a fool and no one should listen to you.

    2) What about Donald Trump and those who voted for him?

    Well, they didn't really address the original posters point and they made a baseless assumption. I think that fits closest to Slashdot's Flamebait description "Comments whose sole purpose is to insult and enrage."
