I have a picture of a Model S charging at the supercharger in Pyhäjärvi in Finland. It was -35C at the time so they must have done something.
Sidenote: While double checking the name of the supercharger on Google maps I found that the maps entry had a picture of a Model S charging in winter so someone else was intrigued as much as I was... even more so if he felt the need to post it on Google Maps.
"Superhuman", "Infinite ability" just non-committal words, and no doubt.
Yeah, great words about the ability to learn which is exactly what I said. Now go back and read what you quoted to me. I'll highlight some for you: The more data we feed it
This one gives AV lovers hard-ons The headline? "Google's Self-Driving Cars Are Ridiculously Safe' https://bigthink.com/ideafeed/... [bigthink.com]
So are you saying it's wrong? How many accidents have Google's self-driving cars caused in it's time? The answer is 1 in over 8 million kilometers of driving. That is a ridiculously AWESOME safety record, far better than even some of the best drivers out there.
If you want more, you can google it
Nope thanks I'll keep letting you reaffirm what I said. Got any more examples of safety far better than normal, and descriptions of self driving cars as something that has no limits to how well it will learn as we continuously feed it more info?
Validation makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside:-D
No I'm not forgetting a thing. I am just acutely aware of the cost of burning rocket fuel to propel something. Whether you're shooting into space or launching horizontally what you've achieved is orders of magnitude less efficient than a jet engine, which also wouldn't be cost effective compared to turbofans.
the tickets should be more on par with luxury 1st class accommodations
So even assuming you're correct, what you're saying is that the tickets should be on par with a class of flight that airlines fail to fill and in many cases are actively eliminating from their services due to cost reasons? Like I said, the airline industry has nothing at all to worry about.
Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees freedom of speech.
It most definitely does not. It guarantees freedom of expression and opinion which is not the same thing as speech. And even if it did apply to speech, if you bother reading the actual 2 line of article 10 you'll find a laundry list of exceptions:
"2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary."
Now since you got that wrong, let us look at the rest:
Philippines: A place where "blasphemy against decency and good customs" is punishable by prison. Australia: We definitely do NOT have the right to free speech. Quite the opposite. In Australia we have a single class of protected speech: You have the right to express a political opinion, and that is it. Canada: Last I checked Canada was in America. Zimbabwe: Stop taking the piss. It is a right that is routinely broken, and the desire for actual freedom of speech in Zimbabwe has been in the news continuously for the past 6 months. South Africa: Another place where the bill of rights includes the words "this right does not extend to:" and then starts listing. Mexico: Last I checked Mexico was in America.
Actually the only one you're correct about is Japan which does have universal freedom of speech. Congratulations, you found the "almost" in my sentence.
Back in the late 80's early 90' there was an amazing word processor called Wordstar.
Back in the 90s there was this thing called the NT kernel. It had a networking stack made of jenga blocks that fell over if you looked at it funny. They choose to do a re-write of the code from top to bottom.
It was awesome. Stability improved. Functionality improved and speed increased dramatically.
Not all rewrites are bad. You can keep putting lipstick on a pig, but at some point it may be worth giving up on that silly idea and dating an actual woman.
Remember when people were strutting around expounding how safe these self driving vehicles were?
No. Not at all. Because no one ever did. What they did say was that with consistency, repeatability, not wavering, not sleeping, and the ability to continuously improve they *will be* far safer than human drivers can ever hope to be. But absolutely no one has made a universal claim like you just have, not even really silly people.
Its probably a fine idea - but its a change and that means that for a while things will be slower because my work flow will change.
Ok, you haven't seen this at all have you? Absolutely zero of your workflow will change if you don't want it to. Just like tabbed browsing doesn't mean you can't revert to the 90s and open up a different window for every website.
By the time I'm familiar with the new scheme, there will be yet another.
Yet another what? The windows UI has been a prime example of stability in user interaction for applications. Other than the colour and shading there has been practically no changes in the past 23 years. Window controls are still top right, icon control availble top left, border controls work like they always did, dialogs work the same, buttons work the same, alt tabbing works the same. The biggest change came with Windows 2000 with grouped applications, followed by a cosmetic change with vista.
If you wish to adopt this new very optional way of working it will be the biggest application interface change in 23 years by grouping various applications into tabs on an additional bar above the title bar, but there is really nothing to backup the claim that it'll change by the time you are familiar with it, unless you wait for 20 years to try it.
Yes I can disable it, but like the ribbon it will eventually become universal.
And if it is you still don't need to use it. It is an optional UI element. Just like the multiple desktops introduced in Windows 8 (10?). I have never once used it. Just like the stupid 3d flippy application changer (windows + tab I think?) I have never once used it.
Also while you're comparing this to the ribbon, remember the ribbon is an application level change, not an OS level change.
Sure. If you put 200MW of solar power and energy storage next to each bioethanol plant then it's carbon neutral.
I see Trump is subsidising coal power stations to try to prop up the coal industry, but coal fired vehicles went out with the steam age.
Trump can subsidise all he wants. In 2017 despite him giving a lifeline to the industry coal consumption in the USA dropped by 2.2%. So did oil and natural gas energy generation. All the while hydro went up slightly and other renewables went up 15%. Regardless of how much of and idiot you've elected, the world will proceed to get better despite his efforts.
Maybe in Hipster Central, SoCal... But out here in the real world 1% of the infrastructure isn't even in place.
Oh? I take it you don't live in a house with power?
Also my time isn't free. Spending an hour recharging just go to the 5 miles to home is a huge waste.
Tell me about it. All those idiots spending 10 minutes at a petrol station when instead they could own a car which charges in your home and is always at full capacity ready to go. If you value your time, you'd go electric.
By your logic- well, you are "endangering people's lives" by speeding, following too closely, jaywalking, drinking alcohol in public, running at a pool, or playing hockey, so those should be felonies?
Err there are people who get locked up for such things. So yes his logic holds. Well the first couple anyway. You're bordering on stupidity for the last few: e.g. the act of drinking in public doesn't make you a danger to anyone, running at a pool,.... like what the fuck, and playing hockey you're not a danger to anyone who hasn't specifically accepted the risks involved by joining the exercise.
We probably already have too many things mis-categorized as felonies (like simple copyright infringement, some drug possession).
Those two I agree with. The former shouldn't be any criminal matter in the slightest, and the latter shouldn't even be a misdemeanor unless you're caught selling it.
Damage from birds is orders of magnitude more likely than from a drone
What is more likely, a strike or damage? A strike is more likely, but given one is soft gooey and all hard bits are hollow and brittle actual damage from a strike is orders of magnitude more likely from a drone.
I would hope they would start off with a heavy fine but repeat violations or causing one of the above results should pull the felony charge and year penalty.
Pfft. Heavy fines are for vehicular manslaughterers, CEOs and bankers. This is a dumb person with a toy. Expect them to go after maximum sentence every single time. Hell if the guy ends up flying his drone with with hacked software he pirated online, we could probably lock the guy up for life.
If you mouse-over a tab and it starts rendering something that's not even visible, that requires system resources and can slow down the whole system.
Or the correct way of looking at it: you use idle system resource to reduce load on the system when the actual event takes place. You're right, it's not queueing. It's prediction. You don't like prediction buy yourself a 486 and run DOS. Prediction to speed up operations has been a mainstay of computer in all forms, and directly against your complaint: was also parts of project butter and other changes to UIs that improved their responsiveness.
This is still so foreign to me. I've never found a provider outside america that actually tells me where my final packets are allowed to end up. Trying this shit in Australia would likely get the company majorly slapped down by the ombudsman.
(note I haven't been in Australia for a long time. Can any Aussies confirm if the telecom companies down there are still somewhat good? NBN / Telstra excepted of course).
There's an easy solution to this. Tell your wife that if she wants to see you some more then you need to upgrade to a Nikon D850. That way you will only have space for 1,280,000 still files, it will only take you 2.5 years to shoot, and you'll only be locked in the study with Lightroom for 7.5 years.
Consider it the golden anniversary present for her,... since you'll actually have time your golden anniversary this way.:)
If you run Windows inside a VM in your house because you're constantly getting your windows corrupted by viruses, then maybe you shouldn't be let near a computer.... like... ever.
There's plenty of honour among thieves unless you're thieving for dishonourable reasons.
KMSPico's creators have never shipped malware. Neither have crackers working for reputable groups. There are however hundreds of KMSPico versions out there absolutely infested with shit.
When someone pirates the pirate things start getting nasty.
So far the mainline repositories have only logged two changes. sys-apps/openrc-0.34.11 has been removed from the repository and replaced with sys-apps/systemd-238
No one is quite sure yet who the hackers are or what their motivations are, but the main man page for OpenRC has been changed to an ASCII art picture of the top half of a hand showing a middle finger. Unfortunately it would appear that some bug in the way the ASCII art was formatted and the lines in the bottom half are shown out of order and some of them are missing completely. The user making the edit appears not to know how to code, and registered the username LP while also editing the page's wiki a second time leaving a footnote: corrupted image as designed WONTFIX.
If you're generating electricity, it's much more efficient to use that to charge electric cars, and reduce the amount of CO2 that goes into the atmosphere, rather than using inefficient methods to get it out.
Cool you've solved cars.... Now what? If you target a single group of emissions we won't ever achieve our goal of a cleaner future.

The vast majority of countries are missing their Paris agreement targets [iflscience.com].
And? America likes to think they are better than most countries, so why not hold them accountable for their opinion.
Well yes. The EU can't restrict something we don't have. There's no free speech laws here, that's an almost uniquely American thing.

"soft gooey" has dropped quite a few planes, There's actual evidence of it. Come back when you have some for your case.
Oh I know. Soft and gooey can actually damage planes quite well. Now imagine hitting reinforced plastic or better still iron cores from motors.
Like I said. Actual damage is more likely from a drone.
I wish I'd known this was publishable.
Everything is publishable. You just have to convince someone to publish it.
while working for the Navy
Or more importantly you'll need to convince people to LET you publish it.
