You mean like "look both ways before entering traffic"? IMHO, failure to follow that rule is 99.9% of the reason the dumshit is dead.
Oh, you mean 1) the LIDAR (might) have been turned off; 2) the "safety driver" got bored; 3) something something something
Let's be honest. Had the dead chick (avoiding calling her a victim, the driver was more the victim IMHO) bothered to look for oncoming cars she would be dumpster diving today. There might be multiple failures but IMHO 99% of them were her not looking for oncoming traffic. At night. In a poorly lit area.
How about "dumass at night in dark clothes walks into traffic and dies".
I'm sure they'll figure out why the LIDAR failed (or even if it was turned on), but IMHO the lesson to be learned here is pretty much what mom taught me 60 some years ago: Look both ways before entering the road.
Forget the Lidar, or lack of (they were testing cameras?). Forget the dude (heh, the first 12 hours thought he was a she. That's gotta hurt).
Had I been driving that car, full alert, I would have killed that chick. I'd have felt bad, even knowing it was her fault. But the fact is, this dumbass walked in front of a fast moving car, at night, when she had no illumination, and the car had headlights. Her best hope of survival was a 100% functioning self driving car, anything less and she's dead.
They will not only sell all your info to whomever, but when their API is used to it's fullest extent Zuck the Fuck will show up on national news saying "oops, my bad" while browbeating his worker bees into hiding the fact that FB's API's encourage this sort of thing.
would you buy a cheap gizmo or a more expensive gizmo supporting your own home country
I buy the best gizmo I can for the money I have.
Reminds me of domestic car companies in the 70s and 80s. First car I bought new was an 87 Ford Escort. This thing was the biggest pile of shit I've ever had the misfortune of owning. Since then I've bought imports and don't see myself ever buying another American car in my lifetime, I don't care what J.D.Powers says.
I don't understand people like this. It's dark, you aren't lit, you're crossing a road with a large, fast moving, well lit hard to miss cars. And you can't be bothered to look for oncoming traffic. Only saw the video twice on the news but it looks like she never knew the car was there.
That said, I'm glad I was correct in my knowledge of what those "safety drivers" actually do all day.
I've got the sender and subject visible to me, if they look legit of course I'm gonna open it. I don't click links unless it's something like a new website setup or lost password reset or somesuch where I'm expecting a message. I never enter logins nor passwords to links I get in email.
In other words, opening the email isn't (err, shouldn't be) the problem. It's what you do after that that's the problem.
Then again, I don't use Outlook so opening the email isn't all that hazardous to me.
Around 1990 or so I started a new job where everyone used Emacs. So I thought I'd give it a shot. I had 2 major problems:
It was easy enough to fire up the help system. I couldn't figure out how to exit the help system to get back to my work without killing emacs and restarting.
A lot of the commands didn't work the way the manual said they would. About 6 months after going back to Vi a co-worker said "oh, you never got our.emacsrc (or whatever it was called). Yeah, these folks had a huge config file that changed pretty much all the commands in some way or other, and they'd forgotten to mention it to me.
Note how they point out that emergency services personnel, security, hospitals, etc will still have internet? It's only the plebes, lets hope it's not the beginning.
People moved to streaming because radio sucks so hard. In the decade between Clearchannel destroying radio and streaming radio becoming a thing people deserted radio in droves in favor of CDs and hiring buskers to sit in the back seat to provide music. Anything but Crapchannel.
Clearchannel destroyed radio about a decade before the internet hit.
Lessee, shitty music, twice the commercials, all local DJs canned for someone thousands of miles away. Gee, why don't people listen to the radio anymore?
Hollywood does a damned good job, but how long before some company sells cotton balls that will stay comfortably in your cheeks for hours at a time, or shit, I dunno, wigs, eye glasses. Be fun to see the Chinese RaceYouToTheBottom companies try to keep up with Chinese surveillance, and watch lessons learned be sold here in the good ol U S of A.
As they come up you add them to the list. As you complete them you mark them off. If you have to add new stuff to page 2, then page 1 is still going to be the first thing you see. Older stuff tends to either become more important, or irrelevant (this is when you start a new list on a new page).
Granted, I retired 5 years ago. But I looked at a lot of time management apps in my day (that would be 10 years ago) and none of them could beat that $0.25 pad of paper I hauled around with me everywhere. Even when I put it into a $25 leather case, it was still at heart a $0.25 pad of paper.
Some other site (cough fark cough) is claiming a DDOS attack. True dat?
I feel one kind of pain for someone who buys old hardware/software and does their best. I have a whole nuther level of pain for anyone targeted by salivating short-cortexed idiots who for whatever twisted reason decide to target people doing their best (or sitting around in lounge chairs drinking Coronas, long as they aren't hurting anyone).
1. To help solve problems and keep your building/neighborhood from turning into a dysfunctional shithole.
2. To attend meetings and socialize, and feel at least somewhat important/relevant to your community.
3. To revel in the awesome power of forcing your neighbors to do follow your command, and hassling them if they don't obey.
You forgot the most important:
4. Your HOA has an awesome ability to screw you financially.
2 ways to do this: Enter into bad contracts, and/or don't do the required maintenance so your investment literally rots.
I was president of an 80 unit condo HOA for 8 years. I never had any trouble keeping up with the work being done, it was much easier than keeping up with my project schedule at work..
Tools? Project software (MS Project et al) if you really need to schedule stuff. Libreoffice Draw is a Visio clone that does everything I've asked of it.

Can you do the same for the state of California? kthxbye
So, an outfit that makes it's money fighting "piracy" releases a report that "piracy" is on the upswing. Who woulda thunk it?

Knowing my kids (at least the way they were 30 years ago), they'd be riding the robots.
Now they'd be busy trying to keep their own kids off the robots.

Half mile away, but not under takeoff or landing paths. Wonder if I'll ever get drone delivery?

My bad. My drinking problem seems to be getting out of hand, and it takes a lot of ice to keep my bloody marys cold.
Sorry.
I said I'm sorry.
Well then you sleep with me, that's one night I won't shrink the ice shelf. furfuksake, it ain't hard.
