How unreasonable of francophones for wanting to have a word for these digital communication devices in their own language.
It's not as if they pioneered digital communication:

Normally, to get that shallow a depth of field, you'll need a combination of 1) a big sensor and 2) a big lens and 3) ample ambient lighting so you can shoot with the big lens's aperture wide-open. Apple managed to make it work without any of those three things
Shooting with the "big" lens' aperture wide open requires the least amount of ambient light at any particular ISO sensitivity and shutter speed.
If it were an 'autonomous' plane without human controls, I would have no chance of landing it.
A slim chance of landing a human-controllable plane is better than none.
It's not about being 'in control'. It's about being able to control, if necessary.
Other than cutting cost, what advantage is there to removing human controls from vehicles?
So, you would rather have a 0% chance to save yourself in a malfunctioning 'autonomous' car than a 10% chance to save yourself in a human-controlled car with a 'malfunctioning' driver?
It's outrageous that anyone should have to pay to prevent having false information added to their credit record.
Financial institutions control what measures they use to authenticate who they give money to, so when those measures fail, financial institutions should take responsibility for their failures.
Instead, financial institutions cooked-up the concept of 'identity theft' to shift responsibility for their authentication failures on to their own customers.
If governments legislated consumer protection which penalized financial institutions that add false information to people's credit record (because the financial institution's measures failed to screen out an impersonator) financial institutions would clean up their act.
Instead, financial institutions reap more and more profits by avoiding spending on effective authentication measures and by getting their customers to pay for the financial institutions mistakes.
It's financial institutions that are in control of consumers' identities. It's not the criminals who impersonate the financial institution's customers and it's certainly not the innocent customer (whom the financial industry has convinced they are at fault because they didn't shred their garbage) that are in control of a consumer's financial "identity".
If the movies have taught us anything, there are only two practical applications of space-based laser weapons: Making enormous Swiss cheese, and burying nerdish boot-licks in housefuls of popcorn.
Oh... and vaporizing human targets from space!
Did Microsoft have to negotiate with itself and come to an agreement to compensate itself for infringing on it's alleged intellectual property? I could see it making a lot of money. Microsoft is a rich company. It should call up the lawyers and squeeze itself for all it's worth!

You'd have a lot better chance than you would in a vehicle with no human controls.
If a bus or tax driver 'malfunctions', a passenger can take the controls. How do you do that on an 'autonomous' motor vehicle without human controls?
I wouldn't.
