  1. Re: The first of many incremental tests . . . on Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Arizona Woman in First Fatal Crash Involving Pedestrian (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    In this case the vehicle is the 'driver', not the renter. To the renter the vehicle is the same as an elevator, and people riding in an elevator are not responsible for any malfunctions of the machinery.

  2. Re:Best thing about self driving cars is memory on Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Arizona Woman in First Fatal Crash Involving Pedestrian (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I would be very disappointed if the car didn't have a dash cam, front, back, and sides. Should be mandatory during testing.

    The owner is responsible for maintenance. To totally free yourself from liability you would have to rent the vehicle.

  4. Speed bumps are the solution. I would add tire spikes on one way streets.

  5. No, but is a threat to the authority that depends on reputation and faith based institutions This is why they attempt to cripple the technology because it reveals too much. Eventually you will have to attack mathematics itself, so hard facts become questionable.

  6. Re:A lot of words for a simple concept on Say Goodbye To the Information Age: It's All About Reputation Now (aeon.co) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The article is an appeal to authority of the worst kind. Let's hope it gets the reputation it deserves.

  7. The power company's contract is with the city, not the individual consumers

  8. The "allotment" is the amount at the set price. Above that you pay a higher rate. There is nothing uncommon about the practice. Free market at work.

  9. Re:As a businessman... on Largest US Radio Company iHeartMedia Files For Bankruptcy (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    This isn't about radio. This is a company whose business was buying and selling IOUs. Like any derivatives market it will eventually catch up, but not to worry, all the bosses still got paid, took their money and ran.

  10. Don't expect him to lose votes over this.

  11. Re:Dishonesty in government, and incompetence on New Bill In Congress Would Bypass the Fourth Amendment, Hand Your Data To Police (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    It would be if people voted for them

  12. There are new programmers at Slashdot on New Bill In Congress Would Bypass the Fourth Amendment, Hand Your Data To Police (medium.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    They handed our comments to another dimension.

    Wonder if I'll ever see this one...

  13. That's a good idea on Google Will Prioritize Stories for Paying News Subscribers (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    And they should put up non pay-walled links for the rest of us, right?

  14. Re:Except its not a car on Larry Page's Flying Taxis, Now Exiting Stealth Mode (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    If it really is as quiet as that video makes it sound...

    Okay, I give up, where did you find a video unadulterated with that horrible background music? Or is that the sound it makes?

  15. Re:And yet again... on FBI Again Calls For Magical Solution To Break Into Encrypted Phones (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Because they don't work in the FBI

    Nobody is interested in "knowing better". They simply say what they are told to say, or they get fired.

  16. More importantly, how can I disable this? I don't want my vehicle connect to any company, entity, or any other vehicle.

    Sorry, just like with the video games, there is no offline single player mode any more.

  17. Gee, I remember when kids just used to steal stop signs

  18. They also use the atomic clock. It is true that the synchronous motor is way more accurate than those cheap crystals in our computers and watches. The phones use the network.

  19. Re:Another Casualty of This Weather - 1 SpaceX Roc on 2M Americans Lost Power After 'Bomb Cyclone' (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The reason for this seems smple - 14 foot seas. Even a 100 meter long platform isn't going to stay still enough in that.

    That's because they're doing it wrong. If they want stability, they have to go semi-submersible.

    Maybe those tunnel boring machines can be useful after all

    I guess the 1st Amendment will never have the same appeal as the 2nd

    proven by single anecdote

    Well, my iPhone did swell up and busted the case, but I can't praise the old ImageWriter LQ enough! It could even print PostSript.
