300 miles at 80 mph? Is there a Tesla that can do it? Certainly no other mass-produced BEV can, 200 is about max at those speeds for Hyundai Kona, Audi e-tron etc. Then, at least outside the Tesla-world, you need extreme luck to find a quick charger (which is really about 200 mph/70 kW charging for Hyundai Kona, if you aren't limited by the charger to 50 kW), have to start charging at around 10 % battery remaining (so if the charger is occupied/out-of-order/whatever, you only have 20 miles left to find the next one), and end at 70 % (charging speed drops a lot when close to full). So you'll fill up for the next 120 miles in half an hour.
But Waymo doesn't have an accident every 11k miles, it has a human intervention. I'd like to know how many of these interventions are "the car has fucked up - try to fix it NOW!" and how many "we're nearing a situation the car isn't sure it's capable of handling, please take over within 20 seconds". The latter is just fine for the first generation, and even if only on highways.
I agree that full autonomy, as in not needing to have a driver present at all, is unlikely for quite some time.
An undistorted market is one where everybody pays for all the damage/polution etc they're causing. In cars, Norway is probably the best example, and guess which manufacturer does very well there.
Any governmental intervention to reduce emissions is going to cost significant money. If it's all fines, the manufacturers that are a bit behind the schedule will go out of business, causing all sorts of problems in local economies. Those that are ahead can rest on their laurels. With trading, those that are behind can pay the others, but the others also have an incentive to stay ahead because they can sell that.
There are edge cases where this isn't true, like one-off supercomputing applications that will run for weeks, so spending hours to optimize a small part is worth it even if you'll have to revert back to the non-optimized version the next time you need it.
The current rate of throwing things away to replace with whole new things just isn't sustainable. It is currently economically viable because manufacturing is done overseas with low wages, whereas repairs must be done locally with much higher wages.
For example, if they can forecast how much they can raise grocery prices before a significant number of customers will go elsewhere, that's pure gold for them, and minor harm to you. For stuff with individual pricing (hotel rooms, plane tickets...), forecasting how much you individually are willing to pay is a bit more gold for them, and much more harm to you.
That, and if your auto hits a fat rabbit at 112 mph, you and mother are going to arrive at the hospital in another vehicle... one with lights and a siren.
And, very conveniently, if your speedo is in mph, you have the emergency call number listed right there.
Oh, people do know that those windmills need power to get up to speed to catch the wind, right? They can't get going on their own, they take electricity to get started before they produce any on their own.
Bets don't work like that on an individual scale, because the value of money is highly non-linear. Let's take a coin toss; if I lose, I lose my house, but if I win, i get THREE more houses worth the same money as mine. Although this bet is, statistically, quite heavily in my favour, I would never take it because I really really need the one house I've got, but for more of them (or the money I could sell them for) I don't care quite as much.
Never mind saving wrongly, just opening a.docx in LibreOffice makes it look totally different than if opened in Word. Also, certain documents that on opening crash the whole LibreOffice (that is, including all opened spreadsheets and presentations). Fortunately, document recovery has always worked so I haven't actually lost work in other files.
...do not involve them in the negotiating process unless you want it to blow out in time and cost, on purpose.
That's easy to say from not-a-lawyer perspective, when you haven't seen shit fail due to bad contracts. I can easily imagine people building an IT system saying "don't involve the security guys unless you want it to blow out in time and cost, on purpose".
Spanish and Italian map directly from spelling to pronunciation.
I thought French does, too? Just that in Italian it's both ways (if you know the rules, you can write any word that you can speak, and vice versa), while in French only the written-to-spoken is unambiguous?
Anyway, most Slavic languages also map directly, as do German, Albanian, and I believe also Hungarian. But the grammar in most of those is more complicated than Italian.
The stall speed (minimum speed Vni) of the 172 is listed at 48 or 53 (flaps up or down). The Vr, minimum speed for level flight, is 55.
What's that got to do with the propellers? The propellers can surely propel the plane just fine from 0 mph up; otherwise, how do you start the damn thing? Off a cliff?
Try to see it more practically. Such people are here. Once we decide you can't kill them, they are here to stay and the others will provide for them in basically one of three ways: -giving them some way of social support/welfare -putting them in prison for most of their lives -having stuff that they can steal. The first option is the cheapest in terms of overall cost to the economy, the last is by far the most expensive and also the most unpleasant.

Most popular development environments: vim 5th (25.4%), emacs 15th (4.5%). So that's settled.

Nope. At least Citroën as well.
Decent house heat pumps work down to -25 deg C, and are twice as efficient as resistive heaters at -10.
Ordinary wood sucks because it's very unpleasant to slide your tongue or lips over it.

BTW, hour seems to be descended from the word for year
For example, in Czech "hodina" means hour, while in Croatian/Serbian "godina" means year.
4.2:3, why not express it as 1.4:1 if it's not integer anyway? Or will Huawei then make a twice as big 7.2" screen, because it will be 8.4:6?

Just like ICE engines?

Can't install Java? I can do that just fine (wine-1.9.11 (Staging), which came with my version of Ubuntu).

No, they just put an IR thermometer on a space probe and send it 1000 light years away.

True, but the consequences of major changes in elementary school curriculum may well last that long. A 5-year-old Kenyan boy may be a CEO in 2069.
I was with you at the bikes, but lost you at "not valuable enough".

I guess the one Mexico is saving money to pay for should do? There's even prior art: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
