So you inferred an 'implication' as to how the cars will navigate, then you decided that was all the AI the cars had on board and then posed a series of 'difficult' questions:
1. How do these type of systems know when the traffic lights change? (or even identify which lights they should respond to?)
2. How are they meant to cope when cop/worker directs that you have to take a detour around a transient event (EG car crash)?
3. How does the systems know when a temporary speed limit has been erected?
4. In VA at least, if there is a cop car on the side of a two lane the road you are required to move over when passing them. So how does the system spot that?
It will do it the same way a human driver does - there are visual queues to indicate which stoplight to use, visual/audio cues can be picked up by motion/voice recognition, visual speed limit signs will be within the field of vision for car, and I am certain the car can detect a police car on the shoulder with it's lights flashing.
Because maps, cameras & GPS are used for NAVIGATION doesn't mean the care has no AI on board..,
Haha, that's funny. You should tell that to the people locked up in Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Due process is only a right if you are a Citizen, or if you happen to be standing on United States soil. Step outside the jurisdictional boundaries of the United States and all bets are off, why do you think all the detention camps are outside of the United States?
They are properly called 'prisoners of war' and as such are not party to the protections of the government they declared war on - they are protected by the Military Code of Justice as I recall.
Also only Citizens can be elected to all three branches of Federal government, this is a right articulated in the Constitution.
I can't remember the last time I voted for a federal judge, care to remind me when that was?
Why would one federal agency pay a bounty to another federal agency for fixing software they openly share with each other.
BTW, the 'open source' the government is talking about consists entirely of code being shared among federal government agencies, not with the public.
"The main requirement is that any new custom source code developed 'by or for the Federal Government' has to be made available for sharing and re-use by all Federal agencies.
Has 'open source' been redefined to mean nothing more than custom government software being shared with other branches of the same federal government?
He wasn't arrested' he was taken in for questioning, since he refused to answer questions at school. There isn't one action that Ahmed did that morning that was intended to resolve the issue, at every opportunity he choose to act in a manner that made his situation worse.
Would it surprise you to learn that Ahmed was in a program at MacArthur High School intended to help at-risk students get a chance at going to college? He wasn't gifted, he was a borderline student that needed help to get ready for college.
[T]his could be used to both spy on you, but also show you stuff that's actually not there. A scenario where that could dangerous is if hackers mess with the monitor displaying controls for a power plant, perhaps faking an emergency.
This can't be serious.
The idea is my monitor, and millions more, are designed to take firmware updates over a video connection (VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort), and that there is enough available space in the storage of the controller to either cause my monitor to suddenly sprout a webcam, feed video images into malware on my desktop and send the images back to someone out on the Internet (The 'Spy on you' claim above.), or the software loaded into the spare space in my monitor from the video connection is sophisticated enough to implement a faux emergency condition in a power plant (The 'Faking an emergency' vlaim above.)?
Horse shit.
I eagerly await a demonstration of this miraculous feat.
Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old boy whose home-made clock got him arrested after school officials and the local police mistook it for a bomb last summer.
Right - so convinced were the teachers and school administrators and police that:
The teacher picked up the bomb and walked with it to the office,
The administrators stood around the bomb and never evacuated the building,
The police never sent the bomb squad to the school,
just like happens everytime a suspected bomb is found in a school building.
Ahmed was arrested because he refused to answer any questions about either his 'invention' or his intentions until the police took him in to custody.
BTW, it's kind of interesting to note we're what, a year out and STILL the Dept. of Justice is still 'investigating' this case... What's the hold-up? They are only investigating an event that transpired over the course of 4 or 6 hours - how long can it take?
Based on past reactions to known situations of looming environmental catastrophes, this appears highly unlikely
Seriously, 170 years! The announcement of our initial climate Armageddon was in the early 70s, when the planet was going to freeze over. Then in the 90s it morphed into Global Warming, peaking when Al Gore failed to become the Leader of the Free World, so he took up World a Leader for Global Warming, only to see it morph into the now popular Climate Change in the last ten years or so.
If society has failed to rise to the Catastrophy, I posit that science has failed to officially declare what exactly the issue is in the last 40+ years... [cooling|warming|change]
What we are talking about is some garbage that may thaw out in 170 years, that's right about the time your grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren might be born.
The current generation is the first to not be able to remember a time when Al Gore wasn't profiting off his prophesied End of Days Climate Catastrophy...
The military ultimately rejected the project, and the corps abandoned Camp Century in 1967. Engineers anticipated that the ice -- already a dozen meters thick -- would continue to accumulate in northwestern Greenland, permanently entombing what they left behind. Now, climate change has upended that assumption. New research suggests that as early as 2090, rates of ice loss at the site could exceed gains from new snowfall. And within a century after that, melting could begin to release waste stored at the camp, including sewage, diesel fuel, persistent organic pollutants like PCBs, and radiological waste from the camp's nuclear generator, which was removed during decommissioning.
So 50 years ago a military base was abandoned, and in 70 years, the ice/snow will start receding, and then a 100 years after that, waste buried in the ice will be exposed...
Wow, I hope we'll be able to organize a clean-up party in the next 170 years, before the waste starts to be exposed!
In that case, it would have been Trump vs Cruz, or Trump vs Rubio, maybe Trump vs Christie (America apparently has enough sanity that it wouldn't have been Trump vs Bush). That seems like an election he could won in this hypothetical world.
In this hypothetical world of yours, you would have the democrats laughing off the odd comments from Trump as they did to a lesser extent with Biden ("can't walk into a 7-11 without a Pakistani accent", "he's a clean, articulate, well-spoken guy") or President Clinton ("why, just a few years ago this guy (Obama) would have been carrying out golf clubs") - then yes, Trump could win... Trumps two biggest problems are his mouth and the press's obsession with turning every tweet/utterance into the main topic of discussion for the next 24 hours.
Cable companies are being forced to not only dedicate precious channel space to public access (so that town hall meetings and PowerPoint slide presentations can be 'aired') AND provide studio space for production of local access shows.
How much of your charter cable tv, phone, and Internet bundle goes to content providers? You'd be amazed how much you are paying for some channels, like *all* the ESPN channels, Al Jazerra America, etc.
Because the city offered Charter a monopoly on certain services in the city, the city was able to demand certain concessions from Charter - by letting Google break Charter's monopoly, the city can no longer demand those concessions... Bye-bye public access, bye-bye free internet for city offices, schools, etc.
No, you sound stupid for excusing the fact that Trump is cheering on, and inviting further, an intrusion into government-related computer systems.
The server in question is either in the FBI forensic computer lab OR in evidence storage, it is not on-line, it can not be hacked, and HRC herself has declared that the missing 30,000 'deleted' emails were all reviews and determined to not be work-related in any way.
Trump called for the release of previously obtained emails, but HRC told us the server was never hacked, so the 'missing' emails couldn't have been hacked off her server...
Or are you taking the position that HRC deleted work-related, classified emails before turning over her emails 2 years after leaving office? Isn't that an ACTUAL crime?
Stop worrying about phantom hackers cracking into off-line servers and ponder what HRC actually did as Secretary of State...
this is a major party nominee calling for another country to commit cybercrime and violate our national security for his own political gain.
Stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
The server doesn't exist.
The server never had classified material on it (Per HRC).
The server was never hacked (Per HRC)
The 30,000 'deleted' emails that Trunp is asking the Rusdians 'or whoever has them' were about wedding plans, her granddaughter, and yoga routines (Per HRC)
Hacking into a non-existent server to retrieve non-existent emails that were non-classified and non-work-related is not a matter of national security.
Trump asked the Russians, or anyone else that has them, to turn over the missing 30,000 delete emails from Hillary's private email server...
First off the server doesn't exist any more - remember, it was 'wiped' (no, not 'with a towel')
When the server existed, Hillary told us it was never hacked, so there can't be anyone that has copies of her emails.
If the 30,000 deleted emails were copied off the server before it was wiped, we know it doesn't include any 'work-related' emails, because Team Hillary took 2 years and only deleted non-work related emails, like pictures of her granddaughter and yoga routines.
Please explain how making Hillary's yoga routines and granddaughter pictures are matters of national security, and if they truly are, it makes the Republican's case that housing such sensitive material on an insecure private server was, at the minimum, a grossly irresponsible thing to do.
The issue is, has been, and always will be her decision to conduct 100% of her work while Secretary of State on an insecure private email server.
But please, stop trying to convince Americans that asking someone to share Hillary's self-described non-work related emails is an act of treason - you just sound stupid.
The researchers at the aforementioned security firm are basing their conclusion on three signals: the hacker used Russian computers to edit PDF files, he also used Russian VPN -- and other internet infrastructure from the country, and that he was unable to speak Romanian.
So because he used a server and VPN in Russia he is an agent of the Russian gov't?
Is the server owned by Russian gov't or simply located within the Russian borders?
Isn't it reasonable that the VPN used to access the server in Russia is, uhm, Russian?
I'm confused, the third reason the attacker is an agent of the Russian gov't is because he can't speak Romanian? Doesn't the same report indicate that the source of the leaked emails was likely a group of hackers, not just one - which is it? The lone hacker that claims to be Romanian but can't speak Romanian OR a small group of hackers that work collectively under the name 'Guccifer 2.9'?
Sure, both are terrible candidates, but for the record, many in the RNC publicly worked against Trump, while the DNC was busy working against Bernie to benefit Hillary.
That puts the RNC slightly ahead of the DNC in my book.
1) Are the emails genuine?
2) If they are genuine, what are you willing to do about them?
It makes no difference who got the emails or why they released them.
Remember, this is only the first dump - Wikileaks claims there are more to come... And with this dump Wikileaks was able to force DWS out as head of the DNC, something the President was reluctant to do despite his well-documented, deep, deep dislike for her.

How about foreigners here on student visas, would they qualify for 'free' tuition at state colleges and universities?

BTW, charter also carries YouTube.
ESPN networks cost $7-8/per month, per cable subscriber... http://www.whatyoupayforsports...
For which the cable cos made concessions, now the city wants to scrap the monopoly and keep concessions.

That's so cute, you have both of them sleeping together at 3 am...
Why should he? What is she going to do, "reset" relations with Russia (again)?
