And that's why i have one?
Still... how does my high school diploma justify the bombing of a sovereign country which is dealing with a violent uprising?
Especially, since the military aid t o Libya has even worse base than what Russians did in Abchazia and south Ossetia, and they were criticised by the US... the difference is that those two were regions which were arbitrarily attached to Georgia and wanted to stay with Russians,.. here it is an insurgency.
Libya is a gross breach of international conventions and meddling with the affairs of a sovereign state.
You are right, this isn't like GWB, this is like Clinton., and his whole escapade into jugoslavija
See, If your work (no matter whether you are a builder, architect, engineer, or what) would get such obscene amount of *protection* , society's economy would hurt badly , and folks would be against in a much stronger manner
It's the very fact that the things this concerns are just entertainment - music, games, some books means that absurdity like this is easier tolerated as it doesn't impinge on anything essential
To add to what other people's say, this sounds like a family , more than technology fail.
Casting aside the obvious fact that it isn't surprising for a teen to be utterly bored by certain people (i rembember i spent a few visits i was forced to go to with my programmable calculator at hand, messing with something (also a favourite on boring lessons))
It's sortta OK... But
The real fail comes from the fact that she has this sort of relationship with her own grandparents. I may be a strange example as i have spent most time there when i was small, but i'd say that with my grandparents, aunt and uncle i have a better relationship than with my mother.
Still, i don't think any person i know treats his grandparents as boring strangers , because that's the behaviour she demonstrated there
I don't know, but does your family actually meet more often than on your father's birthdays ? Because if not, i aren't surprised at the outcome.
Very right. However, there's one correction - i believe the corrective measures it would take would have to be somewhat passive... the problem i see is changing response to the same input
A lot of what you know about driving is to do with the response of the car being predictable. I can imagine a situation where the car corrects the course of drive, such as autobraking or restricting your "gas" even though you are stepping at it full. Once it hands control back, you accelerate due to the above... it tries to counter it by braking, perhaps goes too much, and in effect you drive jerkily and the car behind rear-ends you
Especially if the back car is computer driven too... error propagation in control systems like that is something vicious
A safer way would be to sound a warning and ask for control... the switch perhaps being another foot pedal.
Unlike the drunk , who is just one erroneous biological machine out of billions, the failure of software in one robotic car means it would most likely fail in any other such car in such circumstances.
With vaccines,i fully agree - the spock mentality is spot on with those as herd immunity is one of the key reasons why we do them.
With guns i don't.
It's totally old, but guns don't kill people by themselves. If someone wants to off a family member and doesn't have a gun, he'll go for an axe or a boning knife (in fact those tend to be usual family murder tools in my country where guns between people aren't too common) - should we ban those too?
And with home invasions... i consider it wrong taking from people the ability to defend themselves and force them to be at mercy of some *expletive redacted*.
who will tend to get a gun anyways - there are far too many even illegal ones at present for a ban to be meaningful. Besides, even if they didn't - use of "cold weapons" tends to give someone like that an advantage - not everyone is physically fit enough to defeat an invader in such a way, while almost anyone can use a shotgun.
Now to the main topic.
One of the reasons why i wouldn't go in a car like this ever is similar to what overreliance of new pilots on hardware sometimes produces in airplanes - so called CFIT - controlled flight into terrain. It might be somewhat better at handling common situations, sure, but once something is off usual, a trained person will adapt to what happens, while a machine tends to mess up really badly in such circumstances.
However, the biggest, though rather emotional argument of giving your safety away from your hands while driving - something which i personally don't really like.
In other words, the problem is not so much safety, which after all people ignore quite often - go to any workshop or anywhere and see how folk work, but control, being in charge of your own safety.
As such, i'd say that the best way to begin using these is to automate things like small transport vehicles - while there still may be an outcry if one crashes, they will produce some savings for the companies using them which will add to the pressure to continue development and improve
Perhaps move onto trucks then - tired truck drivers tend to cause accidents, never mind robberies and hijacking often perpetrated on truckers sleeping at vehicle rest places. (I dislike the technology potentially putting them out of work, but it's the logical next step.
I love how this name, in the same vein as "piracy" attempts to put an illegitimate spin on a perfectly legal and sensible action.
Guess what... setting different price zones and not allowing the people to transfer the goods?
That's bloody cartel politics.. analogous to back in 1920s in my country when locally sugar was expensive and outside of the republic the cartel was engaging in price dumping, fueled by the above.
Then due to lack of transport, it was easier to block people from just going across the price difference. Now, some are trying to use the law to deal with it.
I mean.. let's extrapolate this.
Does it mean that the. let's say Walmart near your house can decide that since you belong to this segment of the town you aren't allowed to shop at the Costco across?
It's an analogous market restriction.
Furthermore , what makes it different to outsourcing? If this is banned , then it should be too!
"If both could do the job?"
Why would you prefer the other one then?
I thought the idea is put someone who can do the job into the job.
I hate to break it to you, but intellectual snobbery like you just demonstrated is responsible for diploma inflation where everyone seems to need a college degree even for jobs you could do out of high school 40 years ago.
Indeed, he points to it in his own essay saying the machine code has to do with the Old Testament.
May I remind you that until some time in the last century translations of the bible were forbidden and the book itself could only be read and interpreted by a priest? (as in, for anyone else it would be an offense)
Yeah...that definitely sounds like closed-source software to me
Unix users on their hand, like the Jews, have complete access to the scriptures - a rabbi is indeed someone who is well versed in interpreting the writ. An open source project, like a jewish ceremony just needs a handful of people declared adult to take place, though the successful ones rival their christian/closed source counterparts in size.
Also, in the older times it was easy to tell jews/linux users apart by their profession and appearance.. although things have changed, this stereotype persists and is often used by the enemies of both.
This all leads me to one question...
WHEN SHALL WE FINALLY BUILD A GOLEM?
"He was a private individual who traded on his own name to make a living"
That's sort of what i understand by "public person" in the broadest sense.
Regardless... why should *anyone* have such "protection"? As long as it is declared fiction , i.e. not slander, there should be no reason to restrict such.
Also:
His 'estate' mainly profiteers out of work that was done by him ages ago. It's hillarious as he himself mentioned dwarves having this relationship to craft items - according to them the item after the buyer's death passed back onto the craftsman...
No matter what the use, this is still invalid.
As long as you of course include the remark that it is a product of fiction, any use of real characters within art should be perfectly OK
Or you think Stalin's grandson should sue the arse off Westwood Studios for producing C&C series?
