Not quite sure why you're so smug. You can't give a graduated license to a self driving car so it doesn't even make sense. Plus I know of no self driving care that can even pass a standard driving test yet, like a 16 year old can.
I was being a little smug, but actually what I was going for was withering sarcasm.... missed it by that much...
Seriously though, if the solution for a human is a graduated license, I am not sure why the same wouldn't work for a computer. Nevermind the pedantic "you can't give a license to a computer"... that is obviously not the point. Nor is passing any kind of test.
The point of a graduated license system is to restrict when, where and how a person that is still learning can drive.
Aaaaaaand, I am sure that these principles will be employed during testing of self-driving cars anyway. I really don't think you will see (even in Michigan) self-driving cars all alone on the freeway any time soon.
Actually, I am thinking that the individual will be at fault because these devices are specifically proscribed from planes that the TSA has authority over.
I am thinking that, for example, if a grenade somehow got through TSA and went off in the cargo hold causing the plane to crash, it wouldn't be the grenade manufacturer that got the blame.
Now that I think of it... my neighbors DO have ovens in their apartment! Also probably candles and even guns! I probably won't sleep tonight or ever again...
I think he meant that these boilers did kill people in the real world and because of that, better systems were designed. But unfortunately, not before people lost their lives.
But you feel perfectly safe having the 16 yo human learning to drive on the same roads?
Driving is one of the most dangerous activities that any of us do on a daily basis. It is not anywhere near safe. People die every day from car crashes. The only reason you may have not been affected is simply statistics working in your favor. Adding some overly cautious computers to the road doesn't sound like it increases the danger factor by any appreciable amount.
I could be wrong of course but we are heading in this direction. These things need to be tested in the real world and the people of Michigan, by proxy, seem to agree.
If people knew at the onset of the automobile how dangerous they would be, they probably still would have gone ahead with it despite large outcries from the horse-riding public because it is easy to see the long term benefits of the technology.
Nope, I believe they are all programmed with the "kill all humans" directive. Also, I believe they are putting spiked cow catchers on the front of every vehicle as well as those razor blade hub caps...
The scary thing here is not the safety aspects it is the access aspects.
I think that everyone would agree that if Samsung were to send out a couple of thugs to enter your home without your consent or knowledge in order to disable the device, this would be wrong. Yet, the same thing done electronically is just fine apparently...
Access to your network stops at the firewall. Any unauthorized access beyond that point is B&E.
Yeah... the only thing is, if the light is still green but the countdown timer clearly shows you that you won't make it how likely are you to actually apply the brakes?
There is a road near where I live which has a 65mph speed limit (which means people do 70 - 85) but has several stop lights. Since that is too high a speed to slow in time on a normally timed street light, they put up these flashing amber lights which will come on 5 seconds or so before the light turns yellow. So you know very well that even though the light ahead of you is going to turn yellow in 5 seconds, it is still green right now so hitting the brakes seems like you are doing something wrong... especially if you have a bunch of people behind you.
It took a while to get used to it and I am a native to the road. If someone who didn't understand the rules or was not paying close attention was behind me, there is a very real chance they will rear-end me. I have seen 2 such accidents (bad ones too as you can imagine) on that road in just the last year.
So, now you have someone in a car which has this countdown timer feature. They know that the light ahead is going to turn yellow before they get to it so they apply the brakes. The light is still green and the person in the car behind doesn't have access to this timer and isn't paying 100% attention (they looked up for a second and saw the light was green, then look back down)... seems like a recipe for disaster.
Good thing MS had the foresight to make sure that non-signed PS scripts aren't executable by default.
Of course... sysadmins generally disable that restriction just like they turn of UAC... MS makes a security measure and people disable it and then complain that MS is so insecure.
But then Linux is insecure in a lot of the same ways... it's only as secure as the weakest link... which is generally the apps running on it.
The last movie I saw in the theater was the new Harry Potter thing... and only because I went with my sister and her kid. At least I only paid $5 (they live in the boonies so, somehow theater prices are cheaper there... I am guessing real estate costs are the factor).
Before that.... I don't remember. Though I have been to see several Fathom events in the last year (Rush and Rifftrax).
There is just nothing to get excited about unless this is all still new to you (ie you are young or have Alzheimer's). The plots are formulaic, the dialog is asinine and the actors are booked based on superficial criteria. Why would I continually fork over money for the same thing?
No movie is interesting enough that I can't wait until it is in the Redbox for $1.50....
What I am not pleased about is consolidation. LinkedIn was doing just fine.
At least with MS it will be integrated into O365 and be useful for those in that ecosystem.
Nothing different than what Salesforce would probably do, but I think that the O365 ecosystem is way more accessible and widespread than the Salesforce ecosystem.
I have a feeling that if SF got LI, it would disappear into their CRM silo, never to be seen from again.
I actually like LI and I certainly like Lynda.com and I would hate for SF to make these things less accessible.
I have heard that the AMT stuff is only physically bound to the primary interface in a system. Even if it isn't you could use an add-in NIC which will bypass AMT altogether.
Slashdot Mirror
Or replaced all of your .mp4s with Adam Sandler movies and reported you to the MPAA....
I always thought that laws were binary. Either you are breaking a law or your aren't. How can something be more illegal than something else?

For all intensive purposes, it is a troll.
I thought this was interesting: https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_...
Carbon copy here. I was like "THE HUMAN FUND!" *click* Looks like I'm not the only one!
Now, if they also put up aluminum poles instead of trees....
Carrier unlocked phones don't get updated either necessarily even if Google updates the OS
Are you sure about that?
I actually don't know either but I do know that I have an unlocked OP3 on AT&T's network and I am pretty sure that it gets OTA updates direct from OP.

This made me lol

In my area they have a solution for that, it's call graduated licensing.
Perfect, we now have the solution for getting self-driving cars on the road, thank you.

Oh, you mean like when someone mistakes the gas pedal for the brake pedal and then blames it on the car because electronics?
Nope, I believe they are all programmed with the "kill all humans" directive. Also, I believe they are putting spiked cow catchers on the front of every vehicle as well as those razor blade hub caps...
People are already dying every day in automobile accidents. But that's ok because we already allowed those vehicles....
This is capitalism at its finest. It's eating its own
I think you mean cannibalism...

On the flip side, at least you get to see animated ads and Farmville!
A bug is only an unexploited vulnerability...
