Cars already are computer controlled. Its enough to be a weapon of mass destruction if the computer is only a layer between the actual car and the driver. No car is purely mechanical anymore. The only thing that newer cars currently don't do for such a scenario to happen is remote updates, at least a vast majority of them. Right now the updates are done manually. But this will change, independently from self and assisting driving cars, which will appear on the market as well.
This thing is not a legitimate scientific facility, but a legitimacy facility. Its signal is simple: we build it there, because its part of our country. We claim the natural resources of this area.
This is why we still use JPEG and MP3 but video benefits from the latest technologies.
They also remain because of the same reason ipv4 remains: noone wants to move first. There are better codecs for still images (webp) and for audio (AAC or opus), but nobody uses them as the original formats weren't available. Heck, its hard enough for us to get rid of gifs for animated images.
Well that AV1 codec will have a much higher chance for success as more industry partners are involved, and it will get better hardware decoding support (both by the vendors, and by the codec itself being designed in a way with hardware decoding in mind). Netflix is part of AOM as well. The only bigger company of significance which is _not_ member of AOM is apple, who suprise suprise sits at the MPEG table and makes bucks with their H.265 patents.
once humans stop working, and the machines have taken over all their tasks, they are not needed anymore. All the billionaires need to do is to let robots clean up the planet from all this mess. Just let everyone with >= $1 billion alive, and you have exterminated poverty! In fact, everyone can be even richer and lead an even more luxurious live thanks to all this space becoming free!
Car insurance makes sense, because car accidents are very seldom compared to the big number of car drivers. If you are involved in an expensive car accident, you shouldn't have to sell your house and everything you own and live in poverty just because of that single accident, which may have been bad luck. Rather, those costs are distributed over the number of insurance customers.
For spacex, it makes no sense to be insured: there are maybe two or three companies in the world that offer the services spacex offers, and the accidents aren't as rare for spacex either.
I'm afraid that TOR is your only really good alternative here. I use TOR specifically for that reason. Something that can protect journalists from repressive governments should be more than enough to protect me from data hungry companies. The issue here is that it doesn't depend on client software alone. Just alone your ip address can often be used to almost uniquely identify you. How many devices share your internet connection? Do you connect your phone to the WiFi? Then you've lost.
If he's saying "energy revolution" he invites you to project "trump is making america use green technologies". But he is proposing exactly the opposite: http://www.ecowatch.com/trump-...
Cancel the Paris Climate Agreement (limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius) and stop all payments of U.S. tax dollars to U.N. global warming programs. [...] Save the coal industry and other industries threatened by Hillary Clinton’s extremist agenda.
And for the coal workers: At one of his rallies in west virginia he has said this:
Let me tell you: the miners in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, which was so great to me last week and Ohio and all over, they're going to start to work again, believe me. You're going to be proud again to be miners.
I don't know whether it qualifies as "projection" if you are just quoting his words as he says so much, but show me the quote where he said the thing about the new energy system.

Displays are my main problem. You simply can't read on a screen as easily as on real paper. As for e-paper screens: they are nice in theory, but there are almost no books available outside of piracy or DRM restricted places which add spyware to your device.
Why is netflix's server architecture so interesting? Or is science just miles behind the industry in this subject and now they are desperately trying to catch up?
On airplanes it works much better with autopilots than on the ground. The difference is: if the next thing you could crash into is minutes of even falling away, then you can actually let go off the controls and rely on the autopilot. Its much different for cars. Here the deadly stuff is much closer, and thus the time the driver has to react to an alert from the autopilot is smaller.
It's more "ready" than human beings are, in many different driving scenarios.
But not everywhere. "ready" for me means that I can lean back and not do anything other than type in the destination and get out of the car once I am there. As long as that isn't the case, and I have to "watch out" for events that maybe happen all 20 million kilometers, then its not ready in my eyes.
Maybe deploying the technology will help already, as it certainly is more safe than drunk drivers driving manually, but it needs to be more safe than people who drive responsibly and with attention until I would consider using it.
From how you describe it, you use it like an assistant, and not as autopilot. That's probably safe and good. But its still beta technology and it will take a lot of time until its ready.
Its like with the war on terrorism. Its a war so the US can march into afghanistan, but its no war so the US can run gitmo, and the treating of the terrorists doesn't have to conform the geneva convention.

VP9 and H264 have hardware decoders already. You only have to buy recent hardware :). Even H265 has, in the iphone 6.
As all graphics chip makers (Intel, AMD, nvidia) are sitting on the AV1 table, hardware support for it will be almost guaranteed.
This is why we still use JPEG and MP3 but video benefits from the latest technologies.

All this ignores, of course, the fact that if we have robots doing all the work, for all practical purposes we'll ALL be billionaires....
The resources of this planet will still remain limited. I guess this will be thing humanity will be fighting about in the future.

Problem: how do we get more data to sell and lock in our customers to buying our products?
Solution: smart devices!

He'll make sure that america stays on coal and gas, just so that the coal miners still have work and don't have to adapt to progress. Great, isn't it?
No, watermarking is no issue for me. Its an intellectual property protection mechanism that is not DRM.
Displays are my main problem. You simply can't read on a screen as easily as on real paper. As for e-paper screens: they are nice in theory, but there are almost no books available outside of piracy or DRM restricted places which add spyware to your device.
Yeah. Best there should be a systemd module that stores the code for us.
No, its two times!

It will be ready, one day, but people shouldn't mistake the feature with "fully autonomous driving" until then.
Apple has shittons of money, and this number is too lax.
