Tesla set themselves way back by ditching their partnership with MobileEye and trying to use a much cheaper sensor suite. Most SDCs use lidar and more expensive sensors, with the goal of reducing the cost. Tesla decided to start with cheap sensors (cameras and front facing radar) and build up the software.
Tesla's idea kinda makes sense, in that a human driver only has cameras (eyes). But humans have stereoscopic vision and a highly advanced image processing subsystem that uses the data to build a 3D model of the world, which it turns out is pretty difficult to replicate with current AI.
Meanwhile cheap, compact lidar systems are becoming available for mass production.
He thought that he could do better deals with each country individually. But those countries prefer a collective deal like TTP, because it stops one country making big demands.
In other words, they like TTP because it protects them from crappy, one sided Trump-style deals.
The most important thing is that there is a right of reply. A lot of people want speech to be free from consequences and criticism because they want to say controversial things without risk, but the only way to do that is to silence everyone else.
The screenshots all have two mails in the inbox, so it's hard to tell how well mails are separated in the list.
I hope they include a dark mode. I turn down the brightness and contrast on my monitors anyway, I don't need a bright light shining in my face all day.
Er... You realize that the Conservatives have been power since 2010, right? And that this is the result of their amendments to the Communications Act in 2013.
A better question is what proportion of private institutions should dedicate themselves to absolute freedom of speech.
Is just having sites like 4chan and Gab enough? Or is there a compelling argument that Reddit, YouTube, maybe even Facebook should also seek to be so permissive?
It's our hard right conservative government. They pay lip service to freedom of expression but if it wasn't for the European Convention on Human Rights (soon to be scrapped post-Brexit) they'd do away with it tomorrow.
Surprised to see you saying that, since you were so upset when they banned subreddits like FatPeopleHate and CoonTown.
Reddit's approach is sensible. The problem was never the language, it was never a free speech issue, it was that those subreddits were harassing people.
Slashdot admins don't censor stuff*, but moderators certainly do try to hide views they disagree with.
Reddit is in some ways a little better because it shows almost all comments by default and up votes seem to be much more common and down-votes. Neither system is perfect.
They use a torque sensor to see if force is being exerted on the wheel by the driver's hand. It's not very reliable - a light grip or momentary movement of the hand will cause it to detect the wheel being released. It's also easy to fool - wedging some fruit in the wheel or just resting your hand on it while you text or take a nap works just fine.
Because of that they have to build some delay in, to prevent the warning going off all the time. Other manufacturers, like Nissan, have the alarm kick in after a few seconds. With Tesla it can take a few minutes.
GM has a much better system that uses eye tracking to make sure the driver is looking at the road. As well as a warning sound the seat also vibrates.
The popularity of comic book adaptations helped. People were turned off by silly spandex costumes and magical powers, but then Marvel made a bunch of good movies and Netflix made a bunch of good TV shows.
Altered Carbon was a pretty good adaptation, but they really toned it down a lot for TV and in doing so Kovacs was a much less interesting character. I really liked the contrast between his more human side and when he flips the Envoy switch in the books, but that was mostly lost on TV.
Still, overall it was quite good. Hopefully we get the sequels too.
This world has more than enough shitty C based kernels like Linux and BSD. If you want to search the CVEs and see what percentage of them would never have been an issue if the same code was written in a real programming language
This is a very outdated security model, one which any really secure OS has abandoned long ago. Security by eliminating all bugs is just deluding yourself into thinking that's even possible. Relying on a "safe" language to do it for you is even more foolish.
In fact that appears to be why Google is developing this OS. It's designed to be secure, in a way that building sandboxes on top of Linux or Windows can't be. The microkernel is necessary for this.
This security model is proven to work. It's how all modern operating systems try to implement security, but it's tacked on later rather than designed in from the kernel up.
A lot of people complain about the cinema experience. Too expensive, dirty, no control over volume, no pausing for bathroom breaks etc. They often say they would prefer to watch at home.
The issue Netflix has is that it can't afford the budgets of really big movies, because the ROI when you only charge less than 10 bucks a month for all-you-can-binge-watch is not there. But not all movies are that expensive, and as shows like The Expanse and Altered Carbon demonstrate it's possible to do really high end stuff on their budgets.
Voicemail is 100% spam now. Ask your service provider to disable it. Anyone you actually want to talk to can use SMS or email. The only people who leave voice messages are spammers who don't have any other means of contacting you.
I was being sarcastic. If they were in fact clandestinely recording audio then some of their staff would definitely go to jail. It's a crime in multiple countries. Not to mention that it violates the Play and App Store rules, and there would be great pressure on Google and Apple to remove the app and remotely delete it from devices.
In fact it would probably be one of the biggest crimes ever committed, in terms of number of victims and number of individual offences. The only bigger one that comes to mind are the billions of crimes committed by the NSA and GCHQ when they illegally spied on people.

It's a test track. To be useful it would have to be deployed on over longer distances.
They need environmental standards. No more maxing out pollution to be competitive.
Really? Environmental standards were Trump's number 1 concern?
You had 2 opponents of the TPP:
3. People who didn't like the US copyright provisions, which the other 11 immediately dumped when the US pulled out.

Trump seems to have realised this.
Have you seen /pol and /r9k lately? They are as bad, if not worse.
It's not that simple, because the site costs money to run and advertisers mostly don't like sites that don't curate.
Plus, even 4chan has mods and lists of banned stuff. Some of it is pretty tame too, just banned to stop trolling, e.g. "is X white?" questions in /pol.

I guess you missed it.
That's at least two people who didn't get the joke - you and the one who modded it "troll". Slashdot used to have a sense of humour.
I really thought it would have been obvious by the contrived way it was used.

The robots where usually the best characters.

More than a few years. Even the highest estimates only place the Muslim population of France at about 15% by 2050.

Likelihood computed how ?
That would be the easiest place to hide it.
Yeah, "might" vs "evidence".
