Letting the video uploader decide the comment policy is really the only fair way to solve this problem. They can already turn off comments entirely, but they ought to have the option to moderate them, as you say.
It's reasonable to demand that Microsoft stop making products for the military, but you're right, that covers a lot of ground. It's also reasonable for Microsoft to replace those employees, because they're in business to make money, and if it's not Microsoft then it will just be someone else. If need be they'll make USABSD, or use Linux, etc etc.
Real business-grade internet access comes with a service level agreement. That's clearly not what she got. If she wanted a guaranteed level of service, she should have paid for it.
With that said, charging someone $4,300 to cancel a service that didn't work worth a shit is predatory. If she can't get relief from her local government, then it is shit.
Agreed. When we actually have AI, of course it can be an artist.
Most of what is produced by "creative" people now is derivative dreck. Granted, everything is based on something, but much of what is created is basically indistinguishable from something which already exists. That's why today's music is selling like crap. Not only are young people mostly broke and generally used to not paying for things, but much of it sounds just like something some other artist already produced decades earlier, except with less talent (and more auto-tune.)
By that, I mean we already know the average vehicle owner doesn't keep a car or truck more than about 6 years.
Your wrong about how long people keep cars.
You're wrong about what statistic that page provides, and also about how to use apostrophes. That page discusses the average age of the fleet, not how long the first owner kept the vehicle. Fleet age increases as vehicle quality increases, and also as average purchase price increases — since wages don't keep up with inflation, people tend to have to keep cars longer whether they want to or not. Both of those things are happening, so it would be surprising if vehicle age weren't increasing.
I had to take off the intake manifold to replace the knock sensor on my 2000 Honda. PITA job for a crappy little plastic sensor that screws into the block under the manifold.
Same on the Audi V8 engine, except there's one in the valley and one on the left side which is also a PITA to reach:)
No other manufacturer changes things every 2 weeks.
Sure, instead they fail at design and then the customer has to live with it for the life of the vehicle.
No other manufacturer ships unfinished product planning to OTA the features when ready,
No, they ship poorly designed product, planning to solve the problem in a later model year.
Oops, bumpers fall off or Model 3 in heavy rain, let's fix it for new cars.
Yeah, that was dumb. But they're hardly the first car company to have bumpers fall off, either. Lots of dumb out there.
Oops, turns out Model 3 freezes up in the winter - dang, we don't get that white stuff here in the valley, let's see what we can do.
Lots of automakers' vehicles have problems with doors freezing shut and the like. It happened to my lady's 2000 Astro (which is the second generation of that vehicle, mind) out here in sunny California.
All the other guys do way more testing before shipping, yes they will miss some things, but not to that degree.
Yes, absolutely to that degree, even after years and years of development, and for that matter, decades of experience.
Once Tesla moves on to new hardware, old hardware us orphaned too. For example, they started shipping new main computer in March 2018. One of my cars has the old MCU. It's been getting slower and some features like the browser haven't worked in months!
If your car is out of warranty, no automaker gives a shit about you, except maybe Porsche, and Mercedes but only just a little bit. If it's still in warranty, send it back for service over and over and over again until they care.
Not to mention that they reworked the UI to suit the Model 3 and unified the software, so the Model S has to run UI for Model 3 which doesn't account for a second screen (instrument cluster) because Model 3 doesn't have an instrument cluster.
So the instrument cluster is just an instrument cluster now, or what?
They've set themselves up for a nice lawsuit, either from attendees or Epic itself.
Class action by attendees for not delivering whatever was promised, trademark violation by Epic for damage to the value of their brand through misuse of trademark. It's not either-or, it's both. They get all the lawsuits.
At least ARM has some netbooks floating around with the architecture. IBM didn't bother to try and keep Apple on their architecture, and that has hurt the ability to court new customers.
Only the first PowerPC (601) implemented the full POWER instruction set, and Macs at the time didn't support POSIX like AIX does, so that doesn't seem as if it ever could have been very relevant.
It's super nice to have that whole system there, if you can remote into it. Sure, you can live without it, but it's also handy to have all that stuff when it comes time to do troubleshooting. I wouldn't make the system completely headless for the same reason, I'd want to deliver something with onboard video. If you find yourself at the customer site trying to do troubleshooting, it's a huge benefit.
On the other hand, there are security repercussions to having all that crap on the system, but that's the only real down side given how cheap storage is now.
I was talking about a bag blowing across the road. The behavior will be different for the bag and the goose because the goose can always run back, especially if there are goslings.
And the bag can float back, if the right vehicle goes by in the other lane. The vehicle has to be equally careful no matter what it detects in the road, not just because it doesn't know with a high degree of reliability what it is, but because it's unpredictable what will happen if it hits anything.
You do know that we have tiny hairs in our lungs that clean out particulates?
You do know that PM2.5 soot is too small for those "tiny hairs" (cilia) to remove from your lungs, right? That does leave the question of what the PM2.5 stuff is, though. Soot is a problem because it's persistent. Organics that will break down in the lung might or might not be a problem, depending on what they are.
In my experience most ovens just vent into the room anyway, and the fumes are meant to be extracted via... the range hood. On the other hand, the last place I lived in had such good ventilation from the hood that I generally didn't even have to turn it on, and mere temperature differential would cause a draw, which hasn't been the case in most places in which I've lived.
Joysticks are even worse than touch screens, because you have to keep track of what you are pointing at. But yes, modal displays are bad for the same reason. A minimally modal touch display with only a couple of modes accessible while moving is at least a compromise.
It's not about need. It's about redundancy, and about vanity, but also about convenience. Some extensions are made just so that the author can feel smart, because their name is in the extension store, when the extension could as easily be implemented as a user script. But how many more users can you reach by putting the functionality into an extension which is located in Google's repository of extensions than if you put it on your own site? And then there's all the people reinventing the wheel, of course. There's already an extension that does a thing, but they don't like how it's done. Sometimes they could contribute to an existing project, but sometimes they can't, and other times they don't want to.
You said it was blowing across the road, in which case I don't have to stop for it, just slow down a bit. Or is this bag sitting still in the road, in which case it could have hazardous contents? How about you make up your mind what you're talking about before you start? Then you might have a chance to make sense.
That is not the dumbest argument I've heard, but it's close. A responsible driver doesn't care whether it's a bag or a goose, they don't want to hit either one. A bag could easily block ventilation of a heat exchanger. Do you seriously not avoid bags blowing across the road?
Also, while many automakers are currently using what I consider to be a fairly inadequate set of sensors, sooner or later they'll all incorporate density-sensing radar. It's just a matter of cost.
All automakers tend to make frequent changes to their vehicle, because of the well-known phenomenon that buyers value newness. Yes, it matters whether something is better than the competition, but it also matters whether it is perceived as new. Most of these changes are trivial fiddling of appearance, but sometimes they make actual changes in the middle of model cycles, or even model years. Ford has historically been one of the worst offenders in this category, frequently making mid-year changes that later complicate repair.
Tesla is currently unique in that they are the only automaker making OTA updates that affect actual functionality, but every automaker is looking to do the same. I believe most of them will hold out until they deploy autonomous vehicles, however. Those vehicles have to be connected to networks to function correctly. Dealers don't want OTA because flash updates are simple jobs that they can perform quickly, but they get drivers into dealerships where they can be sold service, supplies, or other automobiles. And there are good reasons to perform service at the dealership, as well. For example, I just had the T21 emissions recall performed on a 2006 sprinter van. It went well enough, but for T1Ns produced from 03-05 there is a risk that the cluster will have to be replaced with a brand new, updated unit, or it will fail to shut off, and it will drain the battery. If you did the update via OTA, you wouldn't catch this, and the owner would just wake up to a dead battery. (Unfortunately, Mercedes didn't figure this out in a timely fashion, and then they didn't communicate it clearly to downstream dealers or to Dodge, so it happened to a lot of people anyway - with some drivers having their cluster replaced with a remanufactured unit more than once before a new cluster was installed.)
Therefore, let us not pretend that upgrade SNAFUs are the sole property of Tesla, Inc. Every automaker has upgrade woes.
Not only don't I want to go near to a hospital if I'm not already sick, since they are full of illness, but having people go there for reasons other than medical care can impede medical care. Voting should be done at fairgrounds, stadiums and the like. They are designed for traffic, and events are easily scheduled away from voting day (which should be done anyway so as not to compete with the vote.)
"the eula says waymo not at fault renter or owner can't get logs / source code."
The law says that contracts can't trump law. The user might not be able to get the source, but the user's legal representation can subpoena it. Remember Toyota, and sudden acceleration? That code wound up being reviewed by independent agents, and reports on the same published, which is how we found out that Toyota's programmers couldn't code their way out of a nutsack.
There are many situations where it's perfectly legitimate for a non-cop to direct traffic, like when there has been a collision or a vehicle has become otherwise disabled in the right-of-way, or when a delivery truck is maneuvering in the roadway for the purpose of e.g. backing into a driveway. The correct answer to this situation is to put humans in a room, and show them the camera feed when there is a question about what to do. Algorithms aren't smart enough to make these decisions reliably, yet. All fully autonomous vehicles are going to be phoning home constantly anyway, not least so that the next vehicle approaching knows what to do, or can even detour around the problem.
The driver arguably should have slowed down to account for a clearly idiotic or impaired pedestrian. If someone does something stupid and suffers no consequences, it's a pretty safe bet that they will do it again.
Getting arrested for ethics in China is like getting demonetized for comments on YouTube. Neither one actually gives a shit, it's only about optics like Facebook's supposed concern for privacy.
I agree with you as far as kids go, they're not educated enough to make intelligent decisions about what should be online, even if you give them a say. But they're going to apply this logic to all videos, and that is wrong. If they are so against the content of those comments, the correct thing to do is nuke the comments, not demonetize the video. They're going to have to censor something, so what should they pick? Answer, the thing that doesn't interfere with livelihoods. People depend on YouTube for their income, and letting trolls pedos interfere with that is abusive. YouTube has an effective monopoly position in this market, and should be regulated as such. It's well past time to break Google up for abuse of their market position.
