"Yield to them" is not the same as 'wait for one human driver to go, then follow the standard rules.'
The problem is, humans don't follow the rules. I personally find that, at a four way stop, a certain amount of aggression is required, or other humans will quite happily go out of turn.
Result of that loop: autonomous car sits at four way stop, yielding constantly, until accident is caused by pissed-off human driver, stuck behind autonomous car, who tries to get around the apparently stalled car.
Funny, so many developers/coders here, and yet they forget ye old addage 'garbage in, garbage out', or another way, if input > output, guess what happens?
So, if the only thing that matters to get the desired output is to use the correct input, and the platform itself is irrelevant, then a Commodore 64 is sufficient for all computing needs, right?
Or, in more modern terms, there's no need for Linux, or any other OS for that matter. After all, the 'genetics' or 'metabolism' of the platform is irrelevant. As long as you give Windows good data, you'll get proper output.
No, but if you drive like an unobservant idiot, having your car beep at you while somebody else blithely merges into you at highway speeds isn't going to change anything.
He probably doesn't. But he goes to the local charity place, and tells them that he needs basic medical tools, and instead of pulling out pre-packaged ones that have been flown in, they tell him to come back tomorrow, and start printing.
Mainly so we can take a pull of our beer bottle, adjust our toques, say something like "You hosers call that a snow storm? We call that a light dusting, eh?" Then we get called off of the penalty bench back onto the ice, so we put down our poutine, pop another Timbit, and crank up the Rush.
Half the fun of Munchkin is specifically fucking with the other players. I don't know if that would translate over to the digital realm.
For example, you can feel free to cheat horrible, break all the rules, as long as nobody calls you on it. I'm not sure how you'd translate that to a digital format.
Prosecution should have the right to any evidence they find (within the bounds of appropriate law.) They should not, however, have the right to find evidence.
The op-ed is no different than trying to ban gloves, as they deny important fingerprint evidence.
Hell, go look at any online video game that tried to use a system where the client correctly reports what it's doing. They all fail almost immediately, as people hack up their clients to report incorrect data.
True, metabolism is complicated, but the simple fact is that you can't get more calories out of food than are in it.
If you eat less than you burn, that energy has to come from somewhere. Your body can adjust and burn less, sure, but exercise will keep your metabolism up.
Sure, but even then. Take your car. What does it run on? 87 octane? 89? 91? Leaded? Unleaded? 10% Ethanol? Pure Ethanol? Diesel? Kerosene? AVGAS? Vegetable oil? JP?
Watts are watts, right? Nope. Put the wrong kind of petrochem in your car, and it might run poorly, it might run better, or it might catastrophically fail. 'Proper diet' is a lot more complicated than 'eat less calories, burn more calories.' Now we're learning that microfauna may have far FAR more to do with it then your own body, for example.
So when the NSA intercepts your hardware before it's delivered?
Just look for the guy in the black suit, sunglasses, and earpiece lurking around the door of your server room with a cell phone plugged into his laptop.
Sure, but it still involves physical access to the machine. Headline should have read something like 'novel new way to get data remotely off of compromised non-networked computers'.

This is correct. 95 had several networking technologies built in; TCP/IP, Banyan Vines, Netware, interchangeably, simultaneously, and 'just working.'
It was a big deal, at the time, to be able to go start->control panel->networking and just pick and choose.
The Plus Pack was, as I recall, animated cursors and Internet Explorer.
Well snap, if wire-guided projectiles are a-ok, lets get some mini TOW-2s or something.
Well, that's the difference between winning the war and winning the peace.
The choice after the Civil War was either Reconstruction, on VERY generous terms, or risk insurgency and partisan actions for generations.

Even back on the Xbox, there were games that 'saved' by just dumping memory to a file.
No, but if you drive like an unobservant idiot, having your car beep at you while somebody else blithely merges into you at highway speeds isn't going to change anything.
With some configuration software, maybe?

No, there aren't, because that would violate the laws of thermodynamics.
At this point, everybody you ever knew would appear to you, clapping politely, and saying 'congratulations!'

The problem with that, is that it's like saying 'as long as you put gasoline in the car, the car will keep running.'
It's very reductionist, and ignores a lot of other factors, many of which are interconnected.
Google 'diesel electric submarine.'
And a Diamond Vortex Aureal A3D card.
Thusly proving, once again, that a lot of amazing science doesn't start with 'eureka!' but 'Huh, that's funny....'
Star Wars: The Old Republic. Had some real growing pains at launch, but has grown into itself quite nicely.
Have a referral link and give it a try.
You are absolutely correct in exactly one respect: that two different situations don't always call for the same reaction.
