Every Android phone I have bought had a comparable iPhone at the same price. I buy Android phones because once I do, I don't have to use anything Google if I want. When I buy Apple, I know I'm going to have to use iTunes for something eventually. Then I'll be using Apple software and seeing Apple advertising, and that makes me feel locked in.
I've had Android for a long time, and I've never felt monetized like I do with Apple. Say you want to transfer your mp3 library to your phone and use it with different media apps. With Apple I've found that you can find file transfer apps, but then they only work with certain other apps. The only other alternative is to use iTunes; and of course you see a lot of Apple advertising if you do that.
With Android I just plug the phone into a laptop or use one of many file manager apps with a (standard) transfer protocol and point any media app I want to the files.
Then move to a place like Africa, where they have that kind of mentality. I kind of like to see society move away from people starving in the streets, but if that's what you like then you should definitely move there.
I don't know dude.. Yes I missed the link, but now I have gone to it and I see a big 'register with us' with some ads but no article. Shitty site that somehow comes to a conclusion that Uber didn't even dream of when they defended themselves.
If public transit can't support itself it deserves to fail? So screw the poor people when fares get unaffordable and screw the poor people when the service goes away. Jackass.
You have to cite your reference if you're going to claim Uber drivers make $23.87 an hour. Unless you mean before insurance, wear and tear and maintenance to the vehicle that only comes after a few years.
I'm guessing you used all the same cones spaced consistently.
I could believe maybe that following a path of markers would be possible if they were set up all standing and consistently spaced. But then you knock five over, and replace another two with a cement blockade, and another two with a metal blockade, space them unevenly like a human put them there and add in some inconsistent larger markers. Finally splash them all with mud or snow and I'm wondering if the AI would still be reliable enough to drive through.
This is exactly why I'm wondering how autonomous cars will ever handle construction zones without any kind of special marker. We see 30 cones, group them into 15 per side by their spacial relationship without even realizing it,and recognize it as a lane to drive down . With AI, not so simple to get from 30 cones because AI has no inherent ability for grouping by spacial relationships. I suspect it was the same thing with this game; a human sees a series of platforms and groups it into a path but it is not so straightforward with AI.
I generally find people do predictable things. If you have your eyes open you can anticipate if someone is going to jump out into traffic, etc. I slow down to let them in and don't get upset about it, after all they're human. It doesn't really matter for the sake of this conversation that people do things that can be anticipated, because that is just part of driving. The question is, how many people do things that are so stupid they are definitely likely to cause an accident and I don't see many of those. What is really going to piss me off is an automated car getting in my way because it gets a bit confused.
Self-driving cars meticulously observe speed limits and stop signs
..which means they don't drive like humans. Unless they drive like a human they're going to piss people off. I know I hate it when the person in front of me drives the speed limit religiously.
Exactly this. Companies think it sucks that they can't track you unless you use a certain app or website. They want to track you everywhere and this fits the bill. The old line that humans suck at driving is the new "won't you think of the children". They don't care about making these as safe as possible, they only care about making them as safe as a human; which means they don't care about reducing fatalities at all.
That's ridiculous, there is no way with the current state of AI that it would be better than an average human driver today. If that's the case, then why do people have to be alert for Autopilot?
They don't have to know much about computers to realize if they give their computer to someone who isn't 'a friend' then there is a good chance they could be done tomorrow. Any how it is probably mostly kiddie porn any way so it's a good thing.
This just makes me wonder what researcher body part they threatened to cut off. I guess the fact is we still don't know how much an Uber driver makes, but it can't be much. They may be laughing as they buy a new vehicle and appear to be paying it off, but then that vehicle starts to get old and needs repairs and only a few years in do they find out what they really make. You have a car loan to be paid off and a car that needs constant repairs. It really depends where in the timeline the people being surveyed are.
1) Country doesn't do what it should and provide plentiful education and employment opportunities for citizens,
2) Person realizes this, and immediately starts a company that anyone can do (with a little 'good ol USA gumption') where they can get eager employees for $3.72 an hour,
3) Person profits.
People ARE to stupid to realize what is good for them. In the end, someone will work for anything. This does not count as a vote, nor should we allow it to validate the fact that these people are accepting ridiculously low pay because THE GOVERNMENT ISN"T DOING ITS JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE. That doesn't mean Uber gets off scott free. They are disgusting for taking advantage of the situation, not to mention the other things they have done.

Also I might add the companies that expect their employees to get to work every day should be chipping in as well, more than they do.

Why is this a bad thing? It is called capitalism.
Wow! You asked a question and answered it in the very next sentence!

Except no one is saying automation will lead to zero deaths.

Stand in front of one and wait for the occupants to pay you $10?

Your president has the mentality of a small child. Many people do, what's your point?
That's ridiculous, there is no way with the current state of AI that it would be better than an average human driver today. If that's the case, then why do people have to be alert for Autopilot?
Why don't you tell me how you REALLY feel?
Meh, as long as it makes shipping cheaper.
They don't have to know much about computers to realize if they give their computer to someone who isn't 'a friend' then there is a good chance they could be done tomorrow. Any how it is probably mostly kiddie porn any way so it's a good thing.
I don't get why people would send their PC to Geeksquad if it had stuff on it that the FBI would be interested in.
Yet we live in a world where there will always be another kid that throws a cinder block or a rock of a bridge. We don't need to be inviting mischief.

Too bad prices don't also come down to what everything is worth. Instead, your salary goes down and prices seem to be very much the same.
