thanks to investment in public transportation, Seattle actually has less traffic than it did a decade ago, despite its growth in employment and housing.
According to the Seattle DOT Traffic Report (2015), Seattle added nearly 100,000 people in the decade from 2004-2014, while average daily car traffic in the city fell by some 60,000 trips over the same period. The travel demand created by population and job growth is being absorbed by the transit system
Yea... not so much. Going from Belltown to the interstate which is maybe 1 or 1.5 miles downtown,depending on how you go, can routinely take 30+ minutes. That's just to get out of downtown. The other 10 miles of my north bound commute takes about 20 minutes most days.
If we could get an AI that can kill for a parking space, I'd be fine with that.
If you go through the quiz.. many of the situations involve people crossing the street against the hand... sometimes this was the only difference between two groups and you had to choose which to mow down. This reminds me a lot of Seattle too. If people on foot knew that a driverless car isn't going to stop if they were crossing illegally they might think twice about stepping off that curb.
This paper is a real breakthrough. It's the clearest evidence yet of global warming that's directly attributable to the actions of man. This is a time of great celebrations!
Jules: Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese on Mars? Brett: No. Jules: It's still called a quarter pounder with cheese because Mars was colonized by America and you know we had to have that shit our way. Vincent: Also, a quarter pound burger is as big as your head but just don't ask where the meat comes from.
What we need is a computer that thinks about world war 3 all day, every day, 24 hours a day. Constantly fighting the battles.. trying different strategies and optimizing for the maximum enemy casualties. We might call such a computer the War Operation Plan Response machine... or WOPR for short. Yea... yea that's the ticket.
I don't like repeating myself... so see this http://wmbriggs.com/blog/?p=5949 He says it better and more thoroughly than I usually have the patience to.
Or maybe it's because the politicos who are pushing the idea of global warming tend to lie with every fiber of their being... and with every breath they take. All their proposed solutions do little more than give GovCo more money and more power at the expense of the US economy. It could be that too...
A robot controlled remotely by a human (even if only for the kill) would accomplish the same. The human is way detached, that it would be easy to control his emotions.
Haven't we seen this movie before?
If we uplink now, Skynet will be in control of your military. But you'll be in control of Skynet, right?
Slackware on CD from the back of a book... no way I was downloading that over a modem! Detour to IRIX... then redhat... mandrake.. redhat.. centos.. fedora... detour to solaris... debian... redhat. So in summary... RedHat... it's the linux distro I like the least and use the most! Of course in those early days there was also things like OS2Warp... Desqview.. and NeXT.
In related news.. no one was surprised that the master password to the top secret PRK government networks is 1-2-3-4-5. Iran couldn't be reached for comment but was seen to be changing the combinations on all the official state luggage.

Debt... the cause-of and solution-to all our problems!
Or maybe better broadband is slow to roll out because the NSA can't monitor it fast enough? It's part of the 'No Kilobits Left Behind' program...
I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 2014, it's a little hard to come by.

No more twinkies!! But... what will we compare the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area to??
... or even more onerous laws and regulations.
And taxes! Don't forget the crippling taxes!

Must carry his around in a wheel barrow. I don't know how he finds pants that fit to make a serious and public proposal like that.
