..and by extension, most large American companies find chinese overtime culture to be a huge blessing as well. No wonder the North American worker has no leverage.
The problem is that it is supposed to be the government that is the base of morality and, well, need I say more. Once it becomes legal for companies to skirt taxes I don't blame them for doing so. The moral failing is that it became legal in the first place.
If only companies would be penalized enough to affect the stock value so that investors were forced to think about the practices of the companies they give money to in a way that they would understand.
If I could pick a language that does what I want and I could learn quickly (ie. any fool can learn it) then why wouldn't I use it? Are you saying I should spend extra months learning a horribly complex language that I only need 10% the capability of?
When you write pseudo-code do you write all the brackets? The point of python is to be like pseudo-code but actually be functional. If you're writing something where speed doesn't matter that much but you need absolute flexibility in functionality Python will get you there quick. If you're writing a driver, use C for chrissakes.
If anything knock Python because of the GIL issue. Maybe on large projects, dynamic typing is problematic if you are lazy with variable names and documentation. Don't knock it because you can't accept 'something different'. The indentation helps in a lot of cases; and it quickly starts to feel redundant doing { } everywhere. Neither is really better than the other.
Humans drive 3.22 trillion miles a year. Your 102 'bad miles' pale in comparison to the 450 thousand successfully driven miles that proceeded that event. Also, more accidents happen where it is cold and automated cars don't work and may never work.
If you take the automated car deaths so far and apply the ratio of regular cars on the road, adjusting for real world randomness/weather, self-driving cars wouldn't look so good.
So who pays for that? Hopefully the cost of repairing the roads doesn't go up because many cities are struggling as it is. The US interstate system is crumbling and would take 60 years to fix if significant funds are allocated now (hows that for a national emergency?). In my area, construction workers won't even take the reduced speed limit sign down when there is no one there.
I'm getting real tired of the argument that people are shit drivers. No one seems to have to prove it, everyone is just supposed to take it for granted. The truth is, driving is pretty safe as it is. If drivers were that bad, then human driving just wouldn't work. There would be pileups every day. Do you see 60% of the cars running into other cars? What is your basis for that statistic?

The government is in the pockets of large corporations and fail to think about what is best for all citizens. It's that simple.
The problem is that it is supposed to be the government that is the base of morality and, well, need I say more. Once it becomes legal for companies to skirt taxes I don't blame them for doing so. The moral failing is that it became legal in the first place.
If they were paying enough, they wouldn't have to "beg".

Just sounds like a pita to me.

Like a web server? Isn't HTML all "string handling"?
Assembly is like being in the Matrix.

must be nice to have the time to swap out streaming services every month
Define 'not fast enough'? What's the target? Humans drive 450K miles without an accident. Should it be more? What is the meter stick?
Yes, it's so impressive that a car with a safety driver hasn't killed anyone.
Yes that's exactly what a want. A car that refuses to work when the weather gets bad.
If you take the automated car deaths so far and apply the ratio of regular cars on the road, adjusting for real world randomness/weather, self-driving cars wouldn't look so good.
You're still impressed by landing on the moon? That's so 20th century.
I buy asus motherboards.. they used to last a long time but the last ones I bought died.
Adrenaline makes the mind work a lot faster.
It will be interesting to see them handle highways covered with blowing snow.

This is the industry that was lambasted for their 'calculating the cost of a recall' a-la FIght Club. Now just 10 years later, they are the good guys.
Maybe it could start pleading with you to attend the business as they pay more.
