Yes, there are fewer incidents with self driving car. There are, though, also vastly fewer self driving cars. Does anyone have a "Accidents per 100.000 vehicles" statistics out there? Else, it's about as useful as saying that Model Ts have the best contemporary accident records.
Compared to that junk, phrenology looks like some serious science.
That's bullshit, and anyone who has spent more than a lecture in statistics knows that. Too bad the average manager is as useful for decision making as the average magic 8-ball.
Usually followed by one of my long time players muttering "Only thing that's sure when he makes us roll for perception is that there's nothing to be found..."
I prefer to test people for what they can do instead of testing them what they're supposed to be good at. Mostly 'cause my clients want a product and are not satisfied knowing what we could do with the machinery we have.
Is that useless election still not over? How long does it take to decide which muppet's cronies are going to plunder the country for the next 4 years?
You act as if it really made any difference to you. Seriously, do you really care which thief is going to rob your home? You're not the one who is going to receive the loot, so why bother?
That's another thing that happened with the moonshots. Because that "bank of knowledge" was essentially empty in the areas that were required for the flights we were finally forced to do some fundamental research, and there was suddenly also money available for it.
A lot of scientists would, given the chance, opt for basic research because they, too, know that this is where the groundbreaking leaps in progress are. You know the saying, applied research gives you results but basic research leads to revolutions. And this is also where the Nobel prizes are. But it's usually quite hard to get money for it. It usually takes decades (at least) until basic research can be monetized. But this program pretty much finally forced management to cough up the dough for basic research, and scientists jumped on it.
The outcome was that the US was well into the 80s and even early 90s the leading nation in pretty much all related technology fields. That was money well invested. And, also important, it created domestic jobs because something so critical for national security cannot be sent abroad.
We have input today that is perfect. More important, we sometimes have to do input that can break hours if not days of work if executed wrongly. Hitting the wrong key at the wrong time can at least be chalked off as human error, Saying "down" do scroll and it being interpreted as "shutdown" (along with the frustrated "NO, dammit" being interpreted as the answer to "save work (y/n)?") is more a problem of the input parser than the human in front of the screen.
Unless it is AT LEAST at par with other means of input, there is very little reason for anyone to switch.
It's less them having trouble understanding me, it's more me having trouble understanding them. If MS built a speech recognition software that can translate the output of an Indian call center, my hat is off to them!
This is always the question, and this is why I wish more people would start having cameras with them all the time so we could get more footage from all angles and all points of view.
Wait a minute. Pretty much everyone DOES have a camera with him all the time...
Well, if nothing else, the videos should make it easier to prosecute those breaking the law...
If she did participate in the riots, no questions, but I somehow doubt it. She's a reporter, and I've seen her and her crew at some hotspots in the past. She's not joining in, she's only pointing her cams on everything. That's pretty much what a reporter does. If a reporter shows pictures of people being killed in a war, does he become a murderer?
Also, I don't think this could be considered making a promo video when she's showing how protesters swarm and pummel the workers. If anything, it will produce antipathy with them from the viewers.

Is there a term for this? Newsverisment? What's that called?
Yes, only this time the day job can well be the side gig, just with different "customers" ...

I'll be dead before that matters. Now excuse me, my SUV needs to be gassed up.
Pour that Ethanol over oak shavings and wait for a while.
And where to? What country accepts intellectual refugees willingly?
Don't say Germany, that's been over for a while now.

Thou shalt not have any cults next to me!

Hush! As long as MS exists, I have total job security!
I really, really, really envy some people for their problems.
Out here in the real world, people have real problems.
*sigh* Could people at least read the effin' summary, if they don't bother with the article. It says right there, they're moving to iPhones.

Well, since I've seen people being charged with "impetuous loitering", I'm no longer wondering...
Thanks. At least one person gets it.
The whole "oh, the other party is guilty" bullshit is like blaming one or the other actor if the play is rubbish.
Yes, she's the presidential candidate with her own corporation in the back...

He didn't write a rap about it, maybe?
Green can't matter, for the pipeline is, if anything, a "green" matter, and reporting about it seems to be a big, big nono.
