It's only specified to provide 20% of your daily nutritional requirements, at 400 kcal. And I always wonder what size the person is whom is use to measure portion counts on food packages. Surely smaller than me.
I have some customers in San Jose, and live in Berkeley. Given the horrid traffic and the lack of good trains with little hope that BART's Silicon Valley extension will be done within a decade, I get up at 5AM when it's necessary to work at these customer sites, hit the road by 5:30, and head home around 1 PM.
Obviously, that doesn't leave time for a leisurely breakfast. So, a cold bottle of Soylent 2.0 just out of the 'fridge is about my best option while driving. Warm Soylent doesn't actually seem that much worse, and I've used that during long drives when the alternative would have been fast food.
Yes, I get paid enough to compensate for all of this.
Soylent 2.0 tastes OK, but not so good that you'd eat it just for the taste. It takes care of physical needs and doesn't do anything nasty to my gastrointestinal system. I do not attempt to use it as a total food replacement.
Consuming Soylent, though, leads one to think about how food flavors and other characteristics of food are evolved or engineered to manipulate us, and how this is a dependence or addiction and perhaps the largest cause of health issues in our lives.
About 61% nationally of fatal crashes involve only one vehicle. The NHTSA says here that in about 70% of fatal single-vehicle crashes, the automobile ran off of the road. This is low-hanging fruit for computer driving to achieve a safety improvement.
98% acceptance? Probably 40 years from the first deployment of true autonomous systems. The rich and businesses go first. Just as luxury cars and long-haul trucks have always been the first to get almost any safety feature.
So, California conditions other than the mountains. Not a problem for me, and an obvious good place to start.
Regarding cost, they're prototypes. If the system adds $30,000 to the cost of the vehicle, it would be cost-effective for a lot of people here. I doubt it has to add that much.
Sure but computers have a long way to go before their weaknesses don't overshadow their strengths in a way that amounts to being safer than a human.
I am wondering. People are good at inferring data from context. A ball bouncing into the street is liable to be followed by a child. A wobbly tire might be about to blow out and cause another car to veer suddenly. That sound might indicate a train coming.
Are these inferences not trainable? For certain image classification tasks, computers are already better than people.
Obviously we have a way to go if we take the Tesla approach, and equip the vehicle only with sensors that do not interfere with the vehicle's appearance. But the Google approach, where the vehicle has a good enough radar to sense moving objects that people can't see, might be closer to being able to operate with human-equivalent safety in limited situations. It's still going to need to hand over control on some roads or if it approaches something abnormal. But I'd happily pay for one that handles the highway most of the time.
While there may be many drivers who have achieved a certain level of safety, people have certain weaknesses that computers don't. They don't have perfect attention. Their reaction time is significant. Most people can't look in even two directions at once and their multitasking capability is pitiful.
So at some point in the future we will see that computers achieve a higher safety level than any sample of human drivers, while remaining imperfect. At this point, it will probably become necessary to ban manual driving on highways, for the protection of the other people on the highway.
This isn't junk at all. If you go back to Julian Assange's previous announcement:
So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates.
So, here's Wikileaks October Surprise. Hillary and her campaign staff are ignoring the alien invasion! The Lunar Ambassador is calling for help, and Hillary is ignoring him! Just as she's ignored the Zombie Threat!
It actually looks (from this and other data, including barometric) as if the eye has just passed the cape offshore, and winds there got to 70 mph. That doesn't mean it's all over, but not quite as bad as foretold. We also don't know the extent of flooding. This is marsh right next to the ocean, so flooding could be very serious.
Since this story is complete B.S., I thought I'd take this opportunity to talk about the Linux kernel. 4.8 . It's newly released, and I downloaded it and built it using the default configuration. It seems to work pretty well right out of the box. It's nice that when the biggest story in the news is Trump, Trump, Trump, you can still get some good Open Source software, build it, and do something useful with your computer. I'm really looking forward to Trump becoming the Biggest Loser in a few more weeks and going on with our collective lives.
Although Hillary made a mistake to have her own mail server so that she didn't have to use the poor excuse for a cell phone the government had, I can't find anything else that she's accused of that's actually true. For example, 8 different Republican-run investigations failed to find that she was responsible for deaths in Bengazi.
What happened is that Republicans knew she'd be the candidate for 8 years, and did their very best to discredit her. They failed.
But this failure is nothing next to the Republican melt-down that allowed Trump to be the candidate. This time "Debate" should have been spelled "de bait", because Trump took the bait and has refused to spit it out all week, continuing to behave self-destructively every day. Not a great example of what we want in a leader.
But this will be over soon. It's pretty clear that Trump gets to be the biggest loser.
A Google login, whether you get it via gmail or "G Suite", ties into all of the Android apps and keeps search history and integrates it into other Google products, and runs synchronization of most app data so they can see a great deal of what you do on the phone. About the worst that you can do is turn on device management. It will take about two days to turn off and during that time it will do its very best to force your email users to put their devices under your control. After that you apparently even have control over booting of the device.
It's enough to make me want to support another open phone. Mozilla just gave up the ghost on that.
I was actually using Google for Work as a spam filter service, but they have thrown so much other stuff in that spreads sticky fingers all over your Android system. Back to an Open Source solution. Who runs a good crowdsourced spam filter these days?
Military meals are designed with attention to the morale factor. Even the modern MRE is designed to help the soldier feel human in unfavorable surroundings.
Apollo 10 was the first to officially test real bread. Gemini Astronauts smuggled aboard a kosher corned beef sandwich but it was stale and thus had too many crumbs which went airborne. By Apollo 10 it was discovered that nitrogen-flushed bread would stay fresh for 10 days. I'll have to try that.
but what are the chances of finding a good vintage of scotch to go with all of this breaded goodness they are going to be having up there?
Alcohol is definitely going to space. Ballantine's zero-gravity glass is made in cooperation with something called the Open Space Agency, which also has a design for an automated Dobsonian telescope. Ardbeg is going to space. And a vacuum still is an old science-fiction trope.
Out of several tens of billions of humans, only a fraction have not yet died, and of those who died, only a small percent of disputed cases indicate recovery.
On the contrary, I have never died before and rumors that I would do so are spread by fact-checkers of the liberal press and corrupt global warming scientists.
I like the part in the SpaceX video where the rocket lands, and the door opens on magnificent desolation. This is artistic license. Obviously the material for a habitat would precede the arrival of people.
But yes, a first-try planetary colony won't necessarily work. Getting there is dangerous, and once you're there being able to continue to provide the population with air, water, food, shelter, and energy is going to have significant risks of lethal failures.
We have perfectly good helicopters today, but you don't want one on your street. Just a few basic physical problems that won't be solved without antigravity.

Does vehicle maneuvering include a similar amount of ambiguity to the problem of recognizing natural language? It might not.

If you want to count research rockets, DC-X and Rotary Rocket, Bell Lunar Landing Research Simulator, and a few additional small research rockets.
For a long time, Julian Assange and Wikileaks have been promoting a massive data dump that they'd make today that would totally destroy the Clinton campaign. Instead, they had a sort of self-promotion-fest and a promise to drop some interesting data real soon now..

This Official NASA Research is studying the egg problem.
There is also a proposal to import green cheese from the Moon.

Yes. Being able to make large quantities of nutritious, flavorful bread is essential to Mars colonization.

Just as soon as the Moller Skycar is ready. It'll be real soon now, right? He's only been working on it for about 50 years.
