What you describe is exactly why MTV and SCIFI and History channels turned into complete and utter crap. Pandering to the lowest common denominator ruins everything good. I don't give a fuck if 50 people died hundreds of miles away. I don't care. GROW SOME BALLS you pansy fairy fucks. People die every fucking day. You might die tomorrow. I might die tomorrow. Death is a part of life that you need to accept as an adult.
So don't click on it and go add to the comments on the actual tech articles. It's not fucking difficult.
I can sympathise with TfL's stated aims - knowing how many people go from place A to place B via route C at certain times of day is useful and can be socially beneficial if it helps train scheduling.
So what? It's not like prisoners normally make "average wages". The state has decided to incarcerate these people for whatever reason, the state can pay to monitor their phone calls.
Yeah but prisons are about making money, not spending it. You think the prisons actually give a shit when they are for profit enterprises? Your tax money at work, going to these companies to lock as many people up as they can, they don't want them getting reformed, they want repeat business.
I hope the eagles knock each and every one of these machines out of the sky. I hope it ends up costing these companies millions, and there's not a fucking thing they're going to be able to do about it. Drone operators/owners are some of the most selfish, self-entitled assholes around, and every time one of them loses one of their drones, I cheer. Good riddance.
I feel the same way about eagles, fucking cocky little shits.
...a little alarm clock with a camera that will probably be pointing directly at your bed.
I'm not sure why it would "probably" be pointed at my bed. Am I positioning it that way?
Well, I'd imagine you want to see the time from your bed, and I'd also imagine this camera isn't on a swivel. As for the rest of it, why the fuck indeed. Why does an alarm clock need a camera and why would any one want this?
Hmmm. you think having multiple directions of travel at different heights, that all will need traversing is a simpler system than having the all in the same direction road ways we have?
Yes it is.
Air traffic already works that way.
Yes. and they have at least 2-3 miles of separation per vehicle which travel in narrow paths in a few set directions. They also separate by height on the same directions. Contrast to the flying cars which could be going literally any direction. I assume your height things are 100m-200m for 0-5degress 200-300m for 5-10 degrees etc, leading on to
1) the amount of directions a thing can come from
It cant. It can onyl come from one direction. Seems you did not grasp my explanation about "flight paths".
And how do you propose these vehicles navigate between different height levels? What if someone wants to change destination and turn around, surely they'll need a new height level which could be anything depending on your system. Even if you limit it to N,E,S,W over a city thats 4 layers of traffic coming up and down over any potential destination.
2) the post crash scenario.
Yeah, the flying car will likely land (with a parachute) on a road with ordinary cars:D
It might be counter intuitive, but an autonomous flying vehicle is much simpler than an autonomous ground vehicle.
You simply design an invisible grid of flight pathes, with apropriated flight hights, depending on direction. E.g. west to east in flit hight 300 - 500 feet, north to south 600 - 900 feet.
You likely only will have fixed landing sites, so you need an angle for approching flights and another for departing flights, and you easily have an intersection free greed of light paths.
Hmmm. you think having multiple directions of travel at different heights, that all will need traversing is a simpler system than having the all in the same direction road ways we have? Ok, there's a lot more space so it will be less congested but I wouldn't agree a flying car is simpler than a road one for two key reasons. 1) the amount of directions a thing can come from and 2) the post crash scenario.
My city has more and better healthcare facilities than all of Germany or France.
Yeah? And how much does that cost you? Fuck knows where you are but American welfare is a joke. I notice you don't mention education because that's even worse. Sure, you can get a good education there and you can get great healthcare, but only if you pay up through the nose for it. Come back to me when you have a system that doesn't resent and treat like shit the 90% of people who commit the ultimate crime of not being rich enough to live in your fucking utopian wonderland.
As someone who lives in the UK where they are already doing this I can tell you it totally works. There are most definitely not loads of proxies to get around the 'blocks'. VPN totally isn't a thing either. Yes this is worth doing and will solve the issue once and for all, job done...:|
My question is what are people sending from thats putting unicode in? Most people manage punctuation just fine here. You even drew an arsehole with it (*). Or is this just people trying to be clever and doing it themselves? I don't know though because it seems he got autocorrected were to we're.
You can tell which are the trolls because they never admit to the possibility of Russian interference.
Here's my problem. Who gives a shit? Of course they tried to influence it. Just like America and everywhere else tries to influence the election of other countries to get the best situation for them. It's nothing new apart from Trump whining and crying about it now it's started to work against him. Mother fucker needs to grow up and, well I would say get on with the job but has he actually started? As far as I can tell it's all golf and tweets.
As mentioned above: if it works like the AP1 cars (and like the AP2s are expected to), that "slow" and "fast" aren't actual wiper speeds, they're how fast the wipers go relative to the amount of rain sensed.
If that's the case, surely calling it fast and slow is fucking stupid? Better to call it high and low or something.

Wut?
Do you know the difference between a guarantee and a tagline?
I can sympathise with TfL's stated aims - knowing how many people go from place A to place B via route C at certain times of day is useful and can be socially beneficial if it helps train scheduling.
Surely they can, you know, look at the trains.
So what? It's not like prisoners normally make "average wages". The state has decided to incarcerate these people for whatever reason, the state can pay to monitor their phone calls.

I'm thinking more spikes.
What's so great about an eagle? Do you feel the same protectionism towards pigeons? A few razor sharp fins might solve the problem. Adapt or die.
I hope the eagles knock each and every one of these machines out of the sky. I hope it ends up costing these companies millions, and there's not a fucking thing they're going to be able to do about it. Drone operators/owners are some of the most selfish, self-entitled assholes around, and every time one of them loses one of their drones, I cheer. Good riddance.

Nature has decided. No, you can't fucking pepper spray an eagle. Give it up.
Nah but you could probably rig up a sweet net launcher.

Nothing can possibly go wrong with this

for our great education, welfare, and healthcare systems
Bwahhahahaha, oh man, good one. You almost had me there playing it all straight face then dropping in a zinger like that.
They won't even do that. just go to google, type pirate bay proxy and go to the first one that comes up.
As someone who lives in the UK where they are already doing this I can tell you it totally works. There are most definitely not loads of proxies to get around the 'blocks'. VPN totally isn't a thing either. Yes this is worth doing and will solve the issue once and for all, job done... :|

If this is an attempt to reverse the decline in Mankind's attention span, then it's too late.
TL:DR
Who's better at it is beside the point.
And that's the end of that.
Their all black and spanish what? Or did you mean they're?

Again, but from someplace credible.
What, like the mouth of trump?
Good luck getting out of thing after you roll it.
From the summary:
"The stalk also does double duty turning on the headlights, and there are no rain sensors for the wipers"
So it sounds like the wipers have on and off. And no rain sensors. I'm not sure this leaves us in a good place.
Of course it has rain sensors, they're in your head, called eyeballs.
As mentioned above: if it works like the AP1 cars (and like the AP2s are expected to), that "slow" and "fast" aren't actual wiper speeds, they're how fast the wipers go relative to the amount of rain sensed.
