Human-driven cars are very tempting targets for malicious interference too. Somebody spray-painted my car's windshield once, which made it unsafe for me to drive. The traditional teenage tactics are to slash a car's tires or break the windows, both of which happened to my parents' cars in the past.
The difference is a self-driving car will detect the damage and refuse to move until repaired, while a human might choose to drive unsafely.
Needing an intervention doesn't mean there would otherwise be an accident without intervention -- only that there's risk and so to be on the safe side intervention is requested. Humans get into risky situations on the road much more often than they have actual accidents too. We do not have numbers to compare apples to apples here.
If the BFS exists by then, it can replace the SLS for bringing the lander and fuel to the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway. This lander should be more economical than making a BFS land on the moon, since there's less unnecessary mass and they're both reusable.
There is actually a possibility of life in a planet X (or even in Pluto), if it has an internal ocean heated by radioactive decay. So it might be a bit of a paradise after all, on the inside, for all we know.
Those "speed traps" you don't understand are frequently for the sake of pedestrians, bicyclists and residents and businesses within earshot. They have rights too.
I've been driving for 18 years, and my only ticket was properly issued by a human. Are law abiding citizens actually getting these automated fines with any frequency? It would be nice to see evidence that there's an actual serious problem before discussing what to do about it.
The unemployment rate is not 60%. Nobody is disputing that there are people who have insufficient income to build any savings, we're pointing out that the percentage of Americans who are genuinely that poor is about 13% (the poverty rate -- that's what it's designed to measure, and while it's inaccurate for some coastal cities it's largely correctish).
Middle class is a step up, property owning, savings in the bank with a decent retirement to look forward to, lots of disposable income.
That's the British definition of middle class. The American definition of middle class is anybody with a roof over their head and less than 3 airplanes in their garage/hanger. And yet we also constantly say the middle class is struggling to make ends meet, and demand that our politicians fight for the middle class.
There is no working class in America -- it's poor, middle, rich with 90% considering themselves to be in the middle. Okay I exaggerated slightly, research shows just 70% claim middle classhood.
As for the world middle class, if you define middle class as being actually in the middle then it has always been true that half the people are above average.
60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck because (for the most part) they're trained to be utterly irresponsible consumers with lavish lifestyles.
It seems very difficult to me to come up with procedures that both make sense for handling a psycho who is already shooting people (if the call is true) and also make sense for a swatting call.
We could compare the frequency of the events. If false reports are much more frequent than a TV-plot psycho, police should respond more cautiously even though it will occasionally prevent them from being TV-plot heros who save everybody from the psycho.
A trained barista peddling targeted propaganda about a company to a student likely to be seeking employment in the industry soon could have a lot of value.
Google and Bing get paid for it. Making it easy for other search engines to use them just means more money for them, like when Microsoft convinced Yahoo to become a Bing skin.
- Finally, the thing that beeps at me because I don't use my seatbelt can still be fooled by wrapping the seatbelt around the back of the seat and keeping it fastened like that forever. Thank god cars still aren't smart enough to see past that trick.
So you drive illegally, risking the lives of everyone on the road with you. Don't think your feedback on safety features is very valuable to anyone, then.
It's a false dichotomy. Relying entirely on public transit is never as good as also owning a car. But car owners may sometimes choose to use public transit in certain circumstances -- for instance, traveling to the downtown area of a large city without having to worry about traffic or paying for parking.
He gave up an extra $850M after the many billions vested because what's the point of being a billionaire if you have to get up every morning to go to a job that you hate?
The Japanese space agency's budget, or at least the last known report listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... since budgets aren't public info, is far less than that of NASA, Roscosmos and the ESA. This mission is a remarkably ambitious example of doing more with less.
I'm a liberal socialist, but this is about the only thing the FCC has done lately that I like. Tax corporate profits more -- don't let local governments add stupid inefficiencies as a backdoor tax. Think about how much vastly more efficient it is to have reason-based fees for every telecommunications company everywhere in the country, compared to leaving the corporations to hire a bunch of lobbyists and contribute campaign donations to thousands of mayors and boards of supervisors so they can negotiate a separate favorable deal in each town.
The whole point of the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment was that quantum physics can apply to large scale things like cats and people, indirectly, if you design a mechanism to make it so. It's not about the whole cat decaying. The experiment is that if a geiger counter detects a single atom decaying it triggers the release of a poison to kill the cat. Thus the quantum state of the single atom determines the life or death of the cat.
Actually, the holding company was the only valuable part of yahoo -- the share of alibaba stock. They sold the useless stuff like yahoo-owned websites.
If you choose to install malware, you'll get malware. To get infected by this you have to go to one of three fly by night repositories of illegal plugins and choose to install a plugin that turns out to be doing a different kind of illegal activity than you expect (crypto mining instead of media piracy). It should not be a shock that dealers in illegal goods aren't always trustworthy -- it's like being shocked when your drug dealer steals from you.
It's not an issue for California. But in the northeast where states are small, what happens if you live in New Jersey and commute to New York every morning and then visit family in Rhode Island on the weekend (passing through Pennsylvania and Connecticut on your way)?
Yep. And if an anxiety disorder makes you get bad grades on all your presentations because all you can do is whisper and shake -- as it did for me -- then so be it. Dyslexia will make you flunk spelling tests, dyscalculia will hurt your math grades, and of course people should have sympathy with that just as they should have sympathy with anxious presenters -- but the grades are supposed to appraise your demonstrated skills at something, not what unfair hurdles you have to overcome.

If you're bankrupted for life with all wages garnished, you may wish you'd got the death penalty.
That'll just encourage women and especially MTF transgenders to use it improperly.
