  1. "as there are people driving through that space when the signal is working your car will have gained what their car learned from that experience"

    It doesn't follow. An 'AI' may learn how to deal with that specific situation, but then have to start all over when a slightly different situation comes up.

    "but man's nature is the tragedy of the commons"

    Yes, but it's a tragedy to have an unregulated commons. or like policies of 'laisser faire' or 'invisible hands' also facilitate tragedy.

    Right.

    I'm just guessing that's a normal part of the work for political campaigns, republican or democrat.

  11. Yeah, and most of the banned are bots, probably American owned, and trying to influence coming elections.

  12. "Right now, Boring Company is working entirely on private funding. Mostly from Musk. Obviously that will have to change before they go large scale, but I doubt this one line will cost that much."

    So basically no outside investors to speak of, no plans, no cost estimates, and the expected revenue is extremely low.

  13. "It's funny that most of the comments in this thread so far seem to be... upset about people going to sports events"

    Agreed.

    "Neat that they're going to make their first full LA tunnel an operational one"

    I wonder who will invest in this without a 'proof of concept' of the tunnel and transport system.

    Quote context from the Breitbart article:

    "A document brought to light by James Damore’s class-action lawsuit against Google and drafted by the company’s HR department instructing managers at the company on how to be “inclusive” cautioned managers against rewarding employees for traits “valued by the U.S. white/male dominant culture”, including individual achievement, and meritocracy."

  16. Agreed, Great link too.

  17. "You can even take really low quality soya, olives, or whatever, even ones, make oil, and then deodorize it."

    You can even take really low quality soya, olives, or whatever, even *rotten* ones, make oil, and then deodorize it.

  18. Yes, Type44Q was right.

    You can even take really low quality soya, olives, or whatever, even ones, make oil, and then deodorize it.

    Calyxt seems to be modifying soya beans so they have less saturated fats, which in turn will reduce the amount of trans fats produced by the deodorization process. If that's right it's mainly for the producers: they'll be able to use even lower quality soya beans and deodorize them more, all without raising the trans fat content, and if they can lower trans fats below 0.5% they can even legally claim it's 0.0%.

    "Calyxt says, oil made from this soybean boasts far more "healthy" fats, and far less of the fats that raise bad cholesterol"

    At the amounts involved the health angle looks like a marketing gimmick for the consumer.

  19. "The same amount of total trans fats, or the exact same trans fatty acids ? "

    Not sure.

    "Trans fat is considered by many doctors to be the worst type of fat you can eat. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fat — also called trans-fatty acids — both raises your LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lowers your HDL ("good") cholesterol."

    https://www.mayoclinic.org/dis...

  20. Depends on how the soy burger made, soy beans themselves don't have trans fats.

    Maybe best to avoid soya and canola oils if you want to really want to try and avoid most trans fats.

  21. "... oil does contain very low levels of trans-fat, as do all oils that have been deodorized ..."

    And to put that in context:

    Two glasses of milk have the same trans fat of a salad made with soya oil.

    One hamburger has about 3 times the trans fat of a salad made with soya oil.

  22. I agree. If you look for the causes behind most unrest in the world, economic profiteering is bound to come up.

  23. "Anyone else's brain segfault while parsing the headline?"

    Same.

    If Google really intends to censor search results like China wants them to, why don't they just ask the government what to censor rather than use the convoluted means the headline and quotes seem to be implying.
