So he's a geek programmer. He probably spends some time on IRC. Maybe just start over with a new alias, on a new channel. He can make new nerd friends and nobody has to know he's rich. Once you've got a connection with people you might be able to get past the money issue by just grounding them with whatever conversation made you friends in the first place. Just laugh it off, so to speak.
When Netflix gave up it's deal with starz people thought that it was the end. Now Netflix is giving up Epix and people think it's the end again. Netflix still has a lot of content, and will possibly even sign a new content deal. They've long said they intend to rotate through content providers.
No, it has to be way better then a human driver. There is a completely different scale of liability for a self driving car then for a human. The blame will hit much harder when someone gets hurt.
It seems like before we worry about the implications of reversing aging we should see how age reversal even effects mortality. Cancers, dementia, and many other age related diseases might not even significantly change from their current rates.
$40k to outfit a truck for self driving would be really cheap. The safety requirements for a computer really handle a vehicle like that will probably require a much greater investment. Drivers need to be able to do things like hear breaks screeching, feel the thump when they lose a retread from their tire, feel a flat tire pulling them, etc. To do away with the driver sensors need to be integrated into almost every point of failure. This would suggest that a retrofit is far less likely then simply building new trucks, which I'd guess to be more in the range of $400k.
I'm guessing we'll see self driving trucks phase out human drivers gradually by replacing trucks which are due to be replaced anyway. Even if self driving trucks save you the cost of a salary it's still profitable to drive your existing trucks into the ground with human drivers.
There are many accidents that would be prevented if truck drivers did what they were supposed to. A friend of mine died when a traffic jam on the freeway backed up almost to the top of a hill. She was stopped in traffic and then a semi behind her crests the hill at 70mph with maybe 100ft to stop.
When I got my CDL I remember being told you should always have your foot on the break when you go over a hill, but I never remember doing it. There are so many situations where caution is ignored, such as stopping at every railroad crossing, because drivers weigh the risk vs the time investment and decide it's not worth it. An autonomous driving computer however would not value it's time in the same way and should always slow down when extra caution is needed. There is a huge potential to prevent accidents.
Brad Haines had a really good presentation at blackhat on another aspect of the vulnerability of the new ATC system in 2012, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
This sort of happened a few years ago with a tournament in Croatia with Borislav Ivanov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borislav_Ivanov). The cheating player had his friends analyzing the games that were broadcast live. They suspected him of cheating and disabled the broadcast, and he promptly fell apart. Interestingly, his wiki page makes it look like he may be innocent but statistical analysis is very clear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr0J8SPENjM).
Normal time control for tournament games in the US can be as much as 3 hours per side, and it's not uncommon for games to go the full 6 hours. Furthermore, there are typically two games per day. Not allowing people to get up and leave the playing area would just not be practical.
In other words, instead of getting a lesson that appeals to nerds about how system security works, he's getting a much more useful lesson about how the whole world works.
Before SPOT do you think the average TSA agent could readily identify and discriminate against very dark or very light skinned Arabic people? Well, after spending a billion dollars teaching them to do just that I'm sure they're slightly more consistent (maybe).

How vein you must be to think that people will be watching your ass when you leave.
I'd suggest always keeping a jar of Grey Poupon in your limo as well.

Don't discount a 23 hour extension on the last day.

Yeah, without eminent domain there definitely wouldn't have been an issue with cable providers.

Are you saying it shouldn't?
Or you could expand positive ones!

I imagine wheelchairs can go pretty fast on a treadmill.
More importantly, that explains all the episodes where Worf felt guilt/shame over his klingon heritage or his relation to his parents.
Now we're going to need lobbyists to represent our banking interests to the corrupt bankers.
Make him NOT a replicant?
How about no.
You mean not a replicant like he he wasn't one in the story the book was based on? Blasphemy.
