But automated cars are controlled by computers that make decisions in fractions of a second! They should absolutely be able to avoid debris falling on the road. If they don't have the sensors for it, then that's a problem.
Yes it's a lot of fun driving in a car that speeds up and stops, speeds up and stops, speeds up and stops, speeds up and stops, for every pedestrian crossing the road. I recently spoke to someone who tried such a vehicle and couldn't even drink coffee while in the passenger seat because of this reason.
You have only seen data from self driving that either A) has a human to correct for it, or B) drives only where driving is simple and straightforward. We don't know if self driving will ever be adequate for all conditions. And self driving has made progress on those dead or injured only as long as it hasn't injured or killed anyone else that wouldn't have died otherwise.
At its heart, Watson for Oncology uses the cloud-based supercomputer to digest massive amounts of data — from doctor’s notes to medical studies to clinical guidelines. But its treatment recommendations are not based on its own insights from these data. Instead, they are based exclusively on training by human overseers, who laboriously feed Watson information about how patients with specific characteristics should be treated.
To be fair, this is close to how automated driving is being handled as well. A much more complex problem than diagnosing cancer.
I think the problem isn't so much a robot taking a carpentry job. Rather, robots are going to chase hobby carpenters out of their higher paying and more steady office jobs thus causing them to fall back on carpentry, thus giving you ten times more competition and putting the wage through the floor.
Funny how American companies not being able to find enough affordable workers is a 'global problem', yet people not being able to find clean drinking water, enough food to eat, and/or safety from violence and corrupt governments is a 'them' problem.
Well I always use Google because none of the other search engines are very good. But this article makes me wonder if there would be other search engines that are good (for me to use) if Google wasn't abusing its dominant force in the market. It's not like a grocery store where you just need to carry groceries at the lowest price in order to compete, or sometimes not even the lowest price in the case of Whole Foods. In technology, these companies are able to situate themselves so that they can actually stifle competition from arising. That's the worrisome part.
If this particular patent includes a wiimote, couldn't it pretty much apply to any application of an accelerometer in any smartphone made henceforth? What made the wiimote different than a phone with regards to this patent?
Enough already. Comments pointing out any of these things should automatically be marked down as off-topic unless the article is about spelling or grammatical errors. Freaking annoying, just understand the context and move on.
Are they going to want to spend time with family? Buy bigger houses? Be able to afford recreation? Live better as they advance in their career? Then, yes.
Exactly. Employers can pretend that it isn't their job to make employees happy to work there, but that's a double-edged sword, isn't it? Many of the comments here kind of say, 'but the union want to get in for their own sake'. Well then win the employees over. Tesla is supposed to be a very creative and intelligent man, surely he can figure this out.
All Tesla has to do is demonstrate to their workers that they already are getting working conditions that meet or exceed that of other unionized shops. Once they do so in an honest and forthright fashion, the union problem goes away because why would anyone want it?
So what you're saying is that people who don't know OSI aren't up to *your* standards, but that many people manage to work without knowing OSI. Which pretty much is an example of not being able to find someone who can do the job due to high standards. If you are reasonably good at hiring, you will intuitively detect the people who are able to know what you need them to know within a short time of hiring. Don't discount them because they don't know it in the job interview, trust them to be able and willing to learn what you need them to instead.
Or perhaps the leaders of the company are actually sharp and do what they are supposed to be there to do and think of a way to create profit again. Honestly, I suspect part of the problem is that too many 'business leaders' have the knowledge to read a spreadsheet but no actual creative drive that it actually takes to grow a company.
That's totally ridiculous. The job of the magic hand is not supposed to be to allow companies to get people for the lowest price. The magic hand is supposed to create a balance between availability of workers and price. Since corporations are experiencing supply issues, they raise salaries to create balance again. With this said, I suspect you were trolling and already knew this.
I think he means that you should sit down and read 10,000 books and maybe one of those will be on a topic that might land you a job. Doesn't seem very efficient to me, but that's what I get out of it.
I'm left wondering in what kind of job you actually need to know the OSI layer. If you got someone who didn't know the OSI layer from back to front, might they actually be able to succeed at the job by googling it?
Ok but then they should admit that they can no longer participate in a fair market with their business plan rather than whine about not being able to find people.
Coorporations want to do that, but they just want to be 'the right wage' to be what they deem to be the 'industry standard' rather than the wage determined by the market.

People keep saying Google isn't a monopoly, but if it can use tactics to make the market unattainable for everyone else. is that not what it is?
There is such a think as a standardized test.. for any grade. Even the grade you are in.

Yes, because elderly people are all carrying around their iPhone 7s in the personal care homes.

I've heard "more addictive than heroin/nicotine/crack" but I've never heard "more addictive than weed".
Oh man, I want to eat hamburgers and pizza all the time. I go some weeks without it but then I want it again. Am I addicted?
And, you know, people who actually want to spend time with their kids instead of commuting, and live in a place that's not a concrete jungle.
Coorporations want to do that, but they just want to be 'the right wage' to be what they deem to be the 'industry standard' rather than the wage determined by the market.
