"The victim was using cruise control. Our Tesla is not a self-driving car. Stop calling it that. Reliable self-driving cars do not exist."
Why would someone think an "autopilot", a word already used to describe a device that makes a plane self-flying, would be self-driving?
I think Tesla should change the name until they are willing to stand behind it as self-driving..
I think this is the biggest problem. The general public think the autopilot on a plane is a magical box that does everything, leaving the pilots to sit back drink coffee and chat. That's not the case. Most autopilots are pretty basic, they can track a course, hold altitude, maybe handle a constant rate or constant speed climb, but not much else.
Plane autopilots can also kill you in many ways. Put in a higher climb rate than the plane can handle and it'll continue pitching the plane up more and more until it stalls it. Put in a course that goes into a mountain, and it'll happily fly you right into that mountain. Pilots are always monitoring the autopilot to make sure it's doing what they expect, which is exactly how drivers should be behaving around the Tesla autopilot.
Tesla is known to have a massive amount of data to train their system on, and has already shown that they can do fleet learning. However, other companies use the same MobileEye camera that Tesla did for the V1 hardware, so maybe others have data from that too.
I'd still put my money on Tesla though, the V2 cars are on the roads already, and training is already underway on a large scale.
Age to vote in the UK is 18. Age of consent in the UK is 16.
So surely this means voting should be considered even more of an adult activity, and therefore all political sites blocked until the user is of suitable age.
I've tried the ATI HDTV Wonder, and the pcHDTV HD3000.
Obviously the ATI is out because it doesn't have linux drivers, and even the windows drivers are a bit iffy.
The HD3000 is great though.
Delivery was fast, I got the card the day after I ordered it. Driver installation is easy, just follow the instructions and away it goes.
As for the software, I only really use the cli command getatsc, give it a channel and it just starts outputting an mpeg stream. You can then play that back or re-encode as you see fit.
Broadcast flag is ignored, and I believe they're working on QAM support for it too.
Last time I went to the UK I took my Vonage box with me, plugged it into the ADSL there and used it as normal.
You didn't say how many different people you wanted to call overseas, but if it's just 1 number you could get a Vonage box and send it to them. Then you'd just be calling a local number, so you'd only have to pay the flat rate each month.
It would be great if it was either supported by the thinair app, or had some other thiair like application for it. The ability to read/modify the calandar when out of the office is very important.

No Coriolis effect, no spin, no hurricanes.
I'm starting a campaign to stop the earth's rotation. Who's with me?
Never start an argument with a professional comedian.
The show will have a field day with this, no way does Murray come out of it looking good.

It's really sad that ATI's support for linux has been so bad in the past that their release
of a new driver is actually newsworthy.
I wonder if they've added support for their HDTV dongle - I don't see it mentioned
in the release notes.
Those numbers are for what country?
Nintendo isn't as strong in the UK as it is in the US. The PlayStation series has always been a bigger seller.
