The answer is simple: Outsource the processing power to an overseas call center where your virtual driver (Let's call him 'Steve') will steer the car in a simulator-like environment. A few webcams around the car will certainly use less power than that huge LIDAR pod on top of WAYMO cars.
Maybe that's what they are doing already... a mechanical turk!
What is the big deal about a computer winning Go? Go is a game with strict rules. Computers love that kind of stuff. That is the ONLY thing they are good at. It is no surprise that a computer will eventually win any game you come up with.
Prepare for mod-blivion - I've made that very point before.
Games are literally just sets of well defined rules. It's only surprising how long it took computers to get good at them.
What, exactly, are you going to do to prevent its eruption? Send it a strongly-worded letter?
The usual: tax increases, massive subsidies to companies creating innovative anti-volcano technologies and making big donations to the Democratic party, a massive increase in funding of anti-volcano research at universities, big payments to foreign nations potentially harmed by American volcanoes, increased immigration, and strong public condemnations of Republicans.
Ah yes, the standard methodology then.
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail;)
If you want to drive electric cars, you'll need electricity.
Consider every time you charge your Tesla, 32-33% of that charge comes from coal, in the US.
Can't have it both ways.
Morons.
Well if you want to be precise, how about 30.4 % from coal. https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs..., at least for 2016. Expect it to be a little lower in 2017.
I use Google Maps, primarily to detect traffic jams and such... which is a good thing, because much of the time it doesn't even actually start up before I'm halfway there. Then it's behind a few turns for awhile, telling me to make turns I already made.
This is when it's not thinking I'm on a completely different road (like a frontage road).
If it were driving my car? Holy #$%^.
(Yeah, I know, I'm an idiot for thinking that Google's navigation product would be anything like... Google's navigation product.)
That might be the problem where you live, but not where I live: Minnesota. Will self-driving cars still be reliable when the street is covered in snow, so it can't see the lines? Or when it snows so much that the snow sticks to traffic signs making them unreadable? How about stopping at a traffic light when the street is covered in black ice?
You want my trust in self driving cars? Then have several of them drive around here in the winter.
Dang straight. These people are getting WAY ahead of themselves.
they don't know that as well as they might think - that's what the "evidence based medicine" thing is partly about.
In an area that is as loaded with emotions as medicine is (combined with a "slight" tendency of doctors to have huge egos) confirmation bias and other errors of perception run amok.
Not to mention the muddy data/results/experiences you get because of the placebo effect.
No wonder that, for centuries (if not millenia) even well-meaning doctors kept on killing their patients with their treatments.
Since you completely ignored what I pointed out about the situation, I'll leave you to it.
Wow. He knew how to use Excel pivot tables AND how to write Emacs macros? Truly a genius.
Now now... play nice or no sweets for you...
You left out "how to read Oracle explain plans", BTW.
The point clearly is, the guy could do pretty much anything. Very broad areas of experience and expertise. The comment provided samples, not a resume;)
For example, everyone loves the meta studies that "show that antidepressants don't work", but psychiatrists in clinical practice know that they work, for most people with clinical depression.
But the different classes of antidepressants work (or don't) for different people, so you frequently have to try one, see if it works, and then if it does not, try another, until you find the class that does work for this patient.
And, many studies are rather poor at qualifying who actually has true, persistent clinical depression.
So the "startling" conclusion is that a population that sorta has clinical depression but many of them really don't, is helped rather measurably little by trying one antidepressant.
I don't know if something similar is going on with this cancer drug story, but it could be.
Dropped netflix a couple of years ago. Just wasn't enough to justify even the $10.
Still have Amazon Prime. Not sure if I'd keep it just for either the free shipping or the Prime videos, but together, yeah. Love the eclectic mix of stuff I find to watch there.
4) The inevitable "He said" / "she said" argument. You have proof right on-hand. Prove it to yourself first, and if you're right, prove it to the other person.
A naval base? A few tens of millions of dollars annually? Really?
How about just something similar to Maryland (#17th per capita defense spending) which received 20 Billion for 6 million people which would be about 11 Billion for 3.4 milllion puerto ricans.
How about high quality, high paying defense jobs building parts of some unwanted airplane or some unneeded tanks?
I guess you missed my snark. We had a Navy base there. The same people screaming that we aren't doing "enough" did everything they could to make us leave.
If puerto rico became a state, they would immediately benefit from millions or even billions of dollars of federal defense spending funneled there by it's two senators.
That money would then circulate thru the puerto rican economy multiple times.
This is the way free information works... most of it is crap. You can't have a system where it is possible for people to post unverified stories about life behind a dictatorial regime that is also moderated.
Exactly right. Who exactly do you want to decide which news is "fake", and then suppress it? Gee, what could go wrong with that?
Anyway, it's not like the mainstream news media never get initial reports wrong; they do, often. But they get a pass, because reasons.
(Not to mention Dan Rather still standing by that Microsoft Word document from the 70s that just so happened to prove what he wanted to be true.)
While other states have representatives to bring home pork spending, Puerto Rico does not. In addition, the median household income is $18K compared to Mississippi, where where the per capita income is $40K. How much can you really tax a household that only makes $18K? No companies will target Puerto Rico as a market. It's expensive to ship food there from the COTUS.
Just accept it. However bad Trump was as a candidate, Clinton was worse.
She had all the MSM, Hollywood, the universities, etc. etc, on her side. Even big business and a fair slice of the Republican poobahs who hated Trump were on her side. She still lost.
Nobody needed any "fake news" (except you, but it didn't work); the real news was bad enough. "First old white woman" just wasn't enough to get her there. She lost. Period.
Going ballistic, acting even more insane, none of this is helping you. This is in fact why he won.
With its creditors at its heels and its coffers depleted, Puerto Rico sought what is essentially bankruptcy relief in federal court on Wednesday, the first time in history that an American state or territory had taken the extraordinary measure.
The action sent Puerto Rico, whose approximately $123 billion in debt and pension obligations far exceeds the $18 billion bankruptcy filed by Detroit in 2013, to uncharted ground.
...
Of course the pols in charge in Puerto Rico are now casting about blame to deflect attention from their own contributory negligence.
It shouldn't be, really. Though in this case, snopes is *ABSOLUTELY CORRECT* that there is no strike by Puerto Rican truck drivers. Period. Anyone saying there is, is simply lying. There isn't a single shred of evidence anywhere that this "story" is true, and more to the point, the whole thing is absurd. There simply isn't enough fuel for the trucks, and in many cases, there are no longer roads to drive the trucks on.
We should be sending flotillas of ships and boats with supplies (water, food and medical supplies) anywhere along the coast where ships and supply boats can dock, or even using beaches where possible. The fact that there is not more help forthcoming from the mainland is a shame.
Too bad we don't have a Navy base there. Oh yeah, we did, until PR activists and movie stars took care of that.
However, there ARE ways to enforce accuracy.... Make the bridge crew enter their manual position observations and calculations and then routinely judge the accuracy of the manual log with the automatic position logs. If there are variances, they will need to be explained. If you are not accurate enough with your manual entries, you don't keep your qualification.
Ways, yes, there are ways.
I know how it used to work, anyway, for engineering. You had to know how every system worked, including (to an extent) stuff you didn't work on yourself (extensive schooling before you ever got to a ship). You had to take log readings on all sorts of equipment, however often it took to make sure you were really walking around looking at stuff (and of course to see trends, etc.); hourly, half hour, 15 min, depended on the reading. You stood watch under someone else until you had qualified yourself, got your qual cards signed off (knows this, has demonstrated that, etc.).
And yet... all systems can be gamed. Take enough real logs, and you can scribble out some fake ones if you didn't make your rounds in time. Just sign the guy's qual card; we need him so we can go three section. It came down to people, getting the right people. The right combination of smarts, aptitude, and duty.
It's pretty obvious if Stephen Paddock's name was something like Abdul Fatah, the entire right would be screaming "Terrorist!" (which is how Breitbart started their coverage). It looks like it was an old white guy with an Anglo name, though, which complicates things. If it turns out Paddock was a lefty...Terrorism!!! If Paddock was a conservative, the blame will fall on mental health issues which weren't addressed because Obamacare.
I'm betting on a different motive: the guy was a music lover.
You have it exactly the wrong way round. We heard almost instantly that he was a white male (and will surely keep hearing it, endlessly, unless he turns out to also have been a member of some protected group).
While if his name had been Abdul Fatah, and he had been screaming the usual stuff, all the main news sources would still be scratching their heads, puzzled as can be.
a 90% marginal tax rate on income over $1 million a year (note, that's _marginal_, meaning you don't pay it until you hit that threshold, before that you're paying the same as folks in the lower brackets).

Trump became president due to Russian influence in our election
No, that's not why he became president, but it's a wonderful ego-saving belief for a segment of the country.

If the UK parliament were to comment on a candidate's mental health, and the media (US or otherwise) reports on it, that's perfectly fine.
But if the UK parliament were to pay money to run political ads on US media about a candidate's mental health, then yes, that's illegal.
So foreign "influence" is fine as long as nobody pays for it?
What if Russia uses a free Google adwords coupon?

Puerto Rico's government drove the island to bankruptcy.:
