you realize that most of the traffic problems up to, and including jams are due to the way people handle merging, right? I'm not really a huge fan of self driving cars, but this is one area I think they'll handle far better than humans ever could.
not to mention things like looking at other drivers to see what they're going to do. Things like checking mirrors, or what kind of facial/finger expressions are they making towards you when you go to change lanes.. Or are they putting on make-up or perhaps eating?
A self driving car isn't going to be able to pick up on these subtle cues; it seems like the adoption rate for self driving cars will need to go from 0, to nearly universal in short order.
You realize that the "didn't live long past 30" thing is a bit of a myth right? Basically if someone survived childhood, or in the case of women, giving borth -- They'd likely live to their 60's and beyond.
It was childhood disease, and childbirth that skewed the average.
well dude, in that case you're right, a tesla isn't for you. But your particular situation is absolutely (and I think you can even admit this) not the norm.
I like the volt as well, but it seems a bit sluggish, whereas the tesla looks like it would still be pretty fun to drive.
It's such nonsense, this talk range anxiety and Tesla. If you can get 150 miles on a charge, that's seriously going to be enough for just about everyone. Provided it can get from home -> work -> home again, it's fine.
The real problem is cost, which they're trying to reduce, and one day might get there. My commute for example is about 20 miles per day, round trip. If i could have gotten something like a tesla/leaf (maybe not a leaf since it looks like a practical joke by an industrial designer) for less than $30k, I would have done so in a heart beat.
On the very, very rare occasion a longer trip is needed; just rent a car.
You really don't see how they're related? The non-confrontational types didn't want to argue, and the mediocre folks didn't think they were worth more. I think any other outcome would be the surprise.
I read the headline and summary and thought "Voltron: the early years", but sadly as awesome as this vision was, it wasn't enough to induce me to read the actual article:(
Honestly, with how important education is; it's probably better that it's more or less off the table. Let the educators teach, let the politicians do.. whatever it is they do.
When politics enters education, you wind up with things like "no child left behind'.
Also helpful: "Would the interviewer want to grab a beer with me some time?" Assuming you're interviewing with someone who you would work with directly that is; it's well known that HR goons are barely sentient creatures, and as such are not capable of understanding personality.
How many miles of roads would one day of war in of Iraq or Afghanistan fix? How about maintaining a blue water navy; that's gotta be a few bridges, right?
It's like the people who piss and moan about welfare/EBT cheats (don't get me wrong, they're scum) but absolutely cannot see the forest for the trees when it comes to the real sources of waste and corruption in this country.
But the real problem with this scheme lies in the future consequences of the government having a vested financial interest in tracking people's movements and driving habits. For the first time you really get into a situation of privacy == tax evasion. And if there's one thing government hates, it's people not paying taxes.
When their bottom line comes at the expense of society as a whole... In this case, fucking over a generation or two of kids with the naive, bullshit assumption that teaching techniques and implements that have been around since basically forever are outmoded and need to be replaced -- is a huge problem.
In what universe is the combination of decreased school budgets coupled with corporate interests pushing technological solutions a good thing?
it's a bandaid solution at best that doesn't resolve the underlying issue, at all.
for whatever reason, a certain segment of our population under performs in primary, secondary, and university level classes. Attempting to normalize that through quotas in admissions or hiring is well meaning (I suppose) but completely retarded in practice.

Wow, you read the backstory to Fallout as well???
Look man, if the Germans are going to dominate Europe, there's worse ways they could go about it -- right?

well, he would have died, instead of getting arrested. so it probably worked out in his favor.

they're flying a fleet of 50 planes, doing dragnet surveillance by spoofing cell phone towers. Okay.
When it comes to these people, benefit of the doubt is not something that should be extended.

Maybe if they'd had better teachers in the first place, they wouldn't be lacking understanding, now would they?

This. so much this. Buying beer in the Northwest kind of sucks at the moment due to hops.
i'd suspect that the death toll did not come from the folks making anywhere near 2k per year.

what a bigoted, able-ist post. why do you assume everyone has 2 legs, shitlord?

well duh. without a road, the cop wouldn't have travelers to prey upon -- and would thus be completely useless.
road damage from a prius vs road damage from a semi. Hmm. sounds equitable.
I'm an Oregonian.. and holy god, this is one of those proposals which needs to be killed with fire before it metastasizes.

interesting theory, could vegans use buildings made of this material? Or does their highfalutin standards only apply to multicellular creatures?
And you a comedian?
Do they need to? after 70 years of episodes, i'm sure they have every single sample of his voice they'd need to make another 70 years of episodes.
