  1. Re: One big lawsuit waiting to happen on Former NASA Engineer Designed Glitter Bomb Trap To Avenge Amazon Delivery Theft Victims (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The spikes and railroad ties could be construed as what is called a "Man trap" in canada at least. anything that is set up to injure or cause harm to a human. and a big block of wood with railroad spikes id think would fit that.

    Maybe shouldnt be stealijg peoples packages then.

    What if the package that was stolen had peanut butter in it and the person was deathly alergic ? Think they are going to be able to sue then ? No. THEY STOLE IT !.

    You break the law, live with the consiquences.

  3. And look how much electricity costs here.

  4. What academics use pages and not words ? on Times Newer Roman is a Font Designed To Make Your Essays Look Longer (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Once i got out of highschool all of my classes had a minimum word limit, not page limit.

  5. There is also a large portion of china that produces negligible CO2 as they are small farmers with no vehicles and very little power.

  6. Ive only watched a couple of women streamers. One was foul mouthed for no reason which makes me stop watching, also just sat in a beanbag chair and sucked at the game.

    The others were extremely foul mouthed, which nothing makes me turn a streamer off faster than someone that does nothing but swear while playing a game. Occational when you make a mistake is fine everyone does it. But a constant stream of vulgarity for no reason. Nope got no time for that.

  7. It was modded down because it is wrong. Feminists have been bitching loudly over tha last year that mens razors are cheaper than womens. Not the other way around.

  8. Even jordan peterson thinks the same thing.

  9. 1) you don't teach a teenager to drive at night. in fact. up here in Canada they are not allowed to drive 1 hour before sun down and 1 hour after sun up. 2) you don't take a person learning to drive on a highway (freeway for you yanks) 3) if the person you are teaching to drive needs to be corrected that much in the area you are driving.. YOU DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD !

  10. Since the main article is about Uber it is only logical i was referring to them not about self driving cars in general. that is just idiotic.

  11. With a student with that track record. Would you be sitting there looking af your phone? Or ready to hit the brakes when they fucked up again?

  12. Is that for tesla, google, uber or all combined?

    As it has been reported from the ny times uber was struggling to meet 13 miles before human intervention was needed.

    If you were training a human that cluldnt maneuver a construction zone, drive with a transport beside them, or you had to intervene on average of once every 13 miles. Would you be sitting there looking at your phone?

    Googles cars are going hundreds of miles before needing human intervention. 13 miles is ridiculous to be on a main road and not a closed course.

    For citation the link to the ny times has been posted several times in this thread.

  13. No kidding on Uber Will Not Re-Apply For Self-Driving Car Permit In California (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With the reported problems their self driving car had im ammazed it was allowed off a test track. Barely averaging 13 miles before needing human intervention is piss poor, and not functioning properly while next to a large object (like a transport).

    Yeah. Definitely should not have been off a test track.

  14. How long would it have taken for officers to get there without the gunshots.

    A self driving car should have lidar which would have detected her long long long before she came into view of the human inside.
    Something was clearly wrong with the vehicle be is malfunction or shitty programming/hardware.

    The problem is tesla has radar on their vehicles for just this type of thing. There are lots of videos on youtube showing teslas avoiding just this type of thing. Radar doesnt care if its so dark you cant see your hand an inch from your face.

    This cars sensors should have detected this person in their lane and applied brakes. The video doesnt look like the car applied any brake at all when it hit her.

  17. Can a self driving car tell if 2 people on the side of the road are drunk and wobbling all over the place, or if its 2 friends horsing around. Or as another poster said a stray dor or a dog on a leash. A human can see these things and knkw they pose different risks to the driver.

    Humans can adjust to changing situations, they can also ready body language. Most people slow down when they see someone on the side of tge road looking like they are going to step out. An AI cant read that sort of thing. They can only react tl basic things presented to them.

    And i think they is a problem with some scientists the media talk to. They dont word things correctly, or they are so full of themselvs and their knowlege, they forget that another civilization out there maybe hubdreds of years more advanced than we are and can make thibgs that we cant even dream of yet, or have a fundamentaly different view of physics and math than we do. Look at how much we have advanced in the last 100 years. And how our ubderstanding oh physics and chemistry etc has evolved and changed in those hundred years. For me its not hard to see that an alien race that can make it here may be far far far more advanced than we are and have a far better understanding of those subjects than we do yet.

    An enterprise car rental was looking for managers in training. And required a degree (didnt matter in what) to be looked at for the job. Didnt matter if you have 10 years experiance in retail and management. Had to have a degree to even be looked at.
