If you don' t know something, just make it up? Who said they didn't stop?...Do you have some cite for information that says they did not report this accident, one that you're keeping secret from the law enforcement authorities who would like to know about it?
I am not blaming you. The summary quotes the horrible Ars writeup, which itself butchers the New Yorker piece. In the New Yorker piece, it explicitly states about the incident
The Prius regained control and turned a corner on the freeway, leaving the Camry behind. Levandowski and Taylor didn’t know how badly damaged the Camry was. They didn’t go back to check on the other driver or to see if anyone else had been hurt. Neither they nor other Google executives made inquiries with the authorities. The police were not informed that a self-driving algorithm had contributed to the accident.
The quote from Ars doesn't even make it explicitly clear that the "forbidden route" was involved with the near miss which led to the Camry crashing. It should be noted, however, that the Camry driver was by all accounts at fault in that scenario. It sounds like the Camry thought he could be more aggressive and overtake the Prius, but the Prius (human or robot) has the right of way.
with the Bible, you can interpret it pretty much however you want.
No, you cannot. You especially cannot when the meaning of this passage is as plain as day. First, Jesus spoke directly to the Pharisees complaining about the lack of hand washing.
Matthew 15 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’”
It is about the heart, not physical health or hygiene. The rest of your ramblings about making it say anything you want... the New Testament has a term for that: false teaching.
is the main proponent of what Hawking was talking about. Jesus, for example, said that afflictions were caused not by diseases but by what they say
In that passage, the Pharisees were accusing Jesus' disciples of failing to ritually wash their hands before eating. This would make them unfit for temple worship according to Old Testament Law. Jesus turned it back on the Pharisees, implying they were unfit/unclean because of the evil things they said. There's no hint in chapter 15 that "defilement" refers to a physical issue, but every indication it refers to the heart. Check out the Strong's breakdown on that verse.
Thats putting it mildly. Not only does it use a fossil fuel to obtain the H2 and require energy to run the process, it also ends up getting LESS energy out of the gas itself than if the gas had just been burnt directly.
Unless H2 is obtained from electrolysis using renewables or nuclear then its the complete opposite of a carbon neutral solution and is nothing more than a "We Need to do something, this is something, lets do it" style bandwagon for politicians to jump on.
I'm not saying Hyrdogen is a good or bad approach, but the advantage is, as with batteries, that the particulate pollution occurs far from the population centers, instead of right through the middle of it.
So you are only an asshole on Slashdot then, because only an asshole would argue that Linus has been out of line. Anyone who has actually invested the necessary time to have a clue would have seen his talks and interviews. He isn't an asshole; he is in fact quite humble for a guy who literally improved the state of computing by an order of magnitude beyond the pathetic state it was in when "great guy and philanthropist" Gates was fucking everyone over. E-mail is simply a piss poor communication method when you don't know the person with whom you are communicating. I can say "You incompetent baffoon" in a way that is ascerbic, or in a way that is not. And frankly, when Linus rants he is generally justified in doing so. This is a sad set of events, and the kernel code *will* suffer down the road as a result. Go back Linus... You have been bamboozled by incompetents who know their code is sub-par and want to put on their resume that they "participated."
It's one thing to call an AC, Russian Troll, Gamergater, or pudge, various insulting names on a BBS we can all walk away from with no consequences for it or us. It's quite another to manage a big project that careers are dependent upon and tell them to go kill themselves.
How about don't call people names period? Ignore, mod, ban if needed. Shouting matches are always counter-productive.
I followed TFA and the font looks like the author simply increased the size by half a point. If you are trying to make your paper seem longer, it will probably sound like you are trying ot make your paper seem longer.
This will not help, especially if the person grading is paying attention. So what if they accuse you of changing the margins or spacing instead of identifying the actual isssue? You were most likely given a list of acceptable fonts, and Times I'm Lazy was not on that list.
- Creative was before Apple with an MP3 player, but the iPod got the better formula
There were a lot of MP3 players before the iPod, but they were either flash based (storage is limited and expensive) or bulky, like the Creative Nomad or the Archos 6000 (which I had).
Found the libtard. This kind of mindless lies is why many many of us no longer bother with Slashdot.Org. Too much liberal bias and no way to have meningful discussion because then they get angry and use insults instead of the facts and information.
You only just now found PopeRatzo? Somehow I don't think you're as familiar with this site as you imply.
More to the point, if you want Slashdot to be better, then sign in, make good comments, earn mod points, and use them judiciously (not just blindly modding along partisan lines).
And when the whole debate about voting machines came up, one word shut most people up: Equifax.
I'm confused, how are voting machines related to the Equifax breach? Do they run Struts? It can't be relate to identity theft, because it's still people that verify your identity (or don't) before you vote, not the mchine.
Electronic voting machines are a bad idea, but I don't see how waving your hands and mentioning a data breach in an unrelated industry supports the case. Isn't the technology probably more like a kiosk or industrial control equipment?
So you went from a digital watch, which is a pretty neat idea, to a mechanical watch?
Isn't that like a downgrade?
From a strict technological standpoint: yes. But having a small mechanical machine on your wrist that harvests energy from your movements to keep time is just so much more fun than something electronic. And I still consider it a better timepiece than a smart watch because the time is always visible.
So what will happen? The same thing that happens with the high paying jobs: they will contract those warehouse positions out and let the contracting companies work out the details.
My $15 Timex still works better for telling the time
A smart watch does not just tell time (although it does that well). It receives texts, makes phone calls, takes photos, and runs apps. If you are comparing it to a $15 Timex, then you are completely missing the point.
The early Apple Watch was sort of pointless since it didn't do the phone calls or texts without an iPhone within BlueTooth range. But that gaping hole has been fixed, and the latest Apple Watch is a tiny standalone smart phone.
My wife has an Apple Phone and she is very happy with it.
Yes but I do not want all of that attached to my wrist any more than I want to use Google Glass. If I want to use my phone--guess what--I pull out my phone. When I do not want to use my phone, it stays put away.
My $15 Timex still works better for telling the time and is running on the same battery it came with three years ago. To be fair, the battery is starting to run down (the Indiglo is getting super dim) and that got me to thinking, why not upgrade? So I have a Seiko 5 automatic (mechanical) watch on order.
Regardless of morality or ethics or terms of the contract, they undeniably LIMITED the bandwidth (they even call it that themselves). That is, they LIMITED the unlimited data. The contract may very well have said they could, but their marketing lies it's ass off. A reasonable person would call that plan LIMITED.
That's why professionals, when selecting a vendor plan for a mission critical service, are going to do their research and talk to an enterprise rep, and then pay for the level of service that meets their needs. Also, this has nothing to do with Net Neutrality. This kind of cap and throttle plan existed before NN, during it, and exists now.
Obviously your sentence was constructed for your predetermined outcome. The issue is that Verizon did nothing after the Fire Department selected the wrong plan for mission critical service. Yes, Verizon should have done more for the public good. But read TFA. The FD was trying to take the cheap route and knew it, and now they're deflecting blame.

Be good little Nazi soldiers and know you'll never face a tribunal for just following orders.
I miss the days when invoking Godwin's law got you modded down rather than up. What the hell happened to Slashdot?
A further, more relevant question would be whether it is moral to automate someone else's job?
All software is automating someone else's job.

0.6 volts of power? This isn't even pedantic, it's just plain wrong.
Just today I learned the Tesla Model 3 can go 100 KPH on a charge.

I have no doubt your typewriter is better at typing that whatever you are using.

All in all, unless these companies spend billions just in America, they will get nowhere.
It is only Tesla that allows you to drive around most of the nation.
If you can afford a Mercedes EV you can afford to use your other car for long car trips. Or rent a car.
That's why I said it was confused with net neutrality. I'm not sure you read the quote.
I'm pretty sure the people who are claiming this is a NN issue are not confused, they are attempting to confuse others.
Or, Texas can fund it's own space program
The senators want to receive federal money, not spend their own.
The Senators and (especially) the US Representatives trying to steer this toward Texas don't "receive" federal money, they spend it.

You either flunked reading or the alphabet.

If you're throttled across the board it is still neutral.
But if the throttling for a particular customer is removed subject to additional payments, it isn't.
From TFA:
Santa Clara Fire paid Verizon for "unlimited" data but suffered from heavy throttling until the department paid Verizon more
So... is my home ISP "limited" or "unlimited" because I don't pay for the highest speed, but have no data caps?
