First, the roads are not being overloaded, they are being loaded. If the roads were being overloaded (to an extent greater than the main thoroughfares are) then Waze wouldn't send you down those congested roads.
Second, we pay plenty of taxes. This isn't a financial problem. This is a problem with some people feeling they are more entitled to use some roadways than other members of the public. Fine. If it matters that much to you, move to a gated community. In those developments, the roads were built by the developers, and are the property of the community (most likely the HOA). The land was purchased and the community developed by the home builder. Great. They can dictate who can and can't use their roads. But for public streets? Anyone can use it, its their taxes that built it, its their right.
They don't have to have SNAP, they just qualified. These workers accepted their wages, and we (the public) decided who qualifies for SNAP). If I could have qualified, I would have purchased groceries that way too, why not? I promise you if you remove the SNAP programs, food will still be purchased by them, and their next iPhone payment plan won't be for the most expensive version. Priorities, priorities, priorities.
Still, those roads were funded by the public, which includes federal dollars, state dollars, county dollars, and special taxes on fuel. They weren't funded by the council or this ass-hat. He doesn't get to tell the public they can't use the roads they funded, and he doesn't get to tell Waze (or google) they can't help those who want to use them coordinate.
LA has a traffic problem, and to help distribute the load, Waze has come up with a pretty ingenious idea. Where was the councilman then? Not giving a rats ass about anyone or anything except his little district.
Always trying to legislate or litigate away people's freedom, these ass hats.
You both got it wrong. You are taxed where the transaction happens. When you shop in Illinois, you pay sales tax there. When you order online, it should be where you are, you are the one who is supposed to remit it.
No! Your the fucking asswipes that don't get it. It's got AUTOPILOT, not Chauffeur. When you go into an airplane, the pilots sit in front, don't sleep, and watch the skies, the instrumentation, and the aircraft handling, the pilots are paying attention! That is how you operate with autopilot, you don't see the pilots both taking a nap or coming back to schmooze with the flight attendants.
The statistics don't matter, no matter how accurate, fair, or comparative they are. The only people who should care about the statistic is Tesla, or the other auto manufacturers.
Whether we like it or not, if not already, these cars will become safer than people. It's just a matter of time. They will drive in tighter formations, and at higher speeds than we would ever be able to do realistically. We just have to get there, and the best way is through practice and experience. Will some people die? Yes. Will that be a tragedy? Yes! But will more people die if we do something like outlaw the technology? Yes, over the long run, unquestionably!
What an incoherent dumb ass. This isn't a free market. There is regulation setting the price. The USPS operates at a loss, and the government filled in the gap with your tax dollars. If you'd stop being such an asswipe for two seconds, you might have enough time to squeeze some rational thought about what regulations the USPS is subject to when it comes to its pricing vs. the costs it incurs to make the delivery, and realize that's what Amazon is benefitting from. There a reason they use the USPS vs UPs and Fedex, we subsidize it, massively!
What an asshat. No you dipshit. You lefties are confused. If you would just leave services like deliveries to the private sector, you wouldn't have our tax dollars that prop up the USPS subsidizing Chinese delivery. Private business would fix the price or go out of business. It's you fucking fagots that thing were deplorable and incapable of good thought that's the problem.
Wait, what? Int round(float) isn't what is in question here, it's what the function round does and the underlying code to execute it. Java isn't open source. Oracle acquired the rights as a part of the SUN acquisition. This is whether or not Google has the right to implement its own JVM. Since Oracle owns the rights to Java, I'm guessing not, but we will see.
I don't understand, 1900ft? There are buildings taller than that! Why the expense of a rocket? Why not go get on a hot air ballon? The rides are like $40....
I use an iOS device, have ever since the first iPhone, but it always surprised me how Facebook knew my suggested friends so well. Some people I haven't spoken to in years would suddenly show up, sometimes obscure work connections. They must have had android phones and figured out who I was from their metadata. I wonder how many of my calls to android devices they have and can piece together a pretty good portion of the meta data they would have garnered from me if I had switched to Android.
No, streets belong to the state (or fed, depending on the road), or private property. As a public, we have decided what the right-of-way laws are governing these public spaces. I hope you go to jail or are fined until you come to your senses. If you get run over, I hope they find this post.
Breaking a law like jay-walking is stupid and dangerous. These laws exist for our own safety, and choosing to ignore them puts us in jeopardy. Just because you got away with a crime doesn't mean you will always get away with it. Her luck ran out.
It comes from the millions of people each year who file their taxes and the IRS comes back and asks for W2s from jobs they never knew they had. The criminal is falsifying documents to collect the paycheck, and the tax liability of the person who's social was stolen has to prove it wasn't him. #nowyouknow
These vehicles are coming, like it or not. They will be safer. Even if they are not safer now, not by a long shot; technology will do what technology does. It will improve.
Unless you are advocating altering humans to make them better drones to drive, technology is the answer. Any moron can see that. Humans will never be able to compete at driving where technology can make huge strides in so many facets of driving.
Even if we have to sacrifice some level of safety now, the payoff will be massive.
No. BGP doesn't work that way. It is not a load balancing routing engine. It picks the shortest path first, and sends traffic that way. Also, different paths that he may be traversing might be significantly less congested but much smaller. Sending the traffic that way could overwhelm the other peer.
Not necessarily. The internet is comprised of a bunch of networks. If you are getting slow service to Netflix, it may be that you are traversing a saturated peer (maybe your ISP's peer, maybe their upstream provider's peer).
When you use a VPN, you are routing to a different site, which might have no saturated peers in the chain. Then from that site, you have a decent link to a Netflix node.
You are routing around using the VPN.
Also, 3mbps isn't great for streaming. When you say it's slow to Netflix but fast for sites, consider the volume of traffic. Netflix needs 5mbps for HD content, so you probably do t have a slow connection to one site, just in general.
They probably buy electricity from the city, who buys it from elsewhere. This was probably a scam to make margins on power, but crypto currency is eating away at those margins, because power utilities who they made deals with put limits and conditions, and tiers in place.
But nothing. We don't need regulation in the US against "worst case scenario" doomsday heralds. There has been no evidence of malicious AI systems, and besides, other countries won't be enacting the same regulation either. He wants a regulation, so that the bill (which I bet he has had some lawyers already draft) allocates some funding (which he will coincidentally qualify for as a vendor of "AI sanity check, etc") for sanity checking, or authorized systems. He is going to say "only the Tesla AI qualifies with regulation to operate on the road".
This is just a guy who is addicted to subsidies and government payments looking for a subsidy or government payment to ease his mind about spending money on AI.

No, the taxes do not need to be raised.

Not perfectly.
It comes from the millions of people each year who file their taxes and the IRS comes back and asks for W2s from jobs they never knew they had.

They use fake numbers. The tax burden is passed onto its owner.
These vehicles are coming, like it or not. They will be safer. Even if they are not safer now, not by a long shot; technology will do what technology does. It will improve.

Did you mean criminals? FTFY
They mean income taxes, and most of them do not, or do so under a false social security number, and almost never file. Douche.

No. Ashley Maddison found out this isn't true the hard way.
