While it is possible that current designs are using 2-4kw, I'm not buying it is a long term problem. Optimize the software.
It's possible it's not even mostly software. LIDAR powerful enough to cut through an intense hailstorm or overpower noise/reflections from other self-driving cars from its perspective could easily break 2KW.
Breaking society with endless divisive stories isn't enough, now they want to make science harder for scientists? Wikipedia already has a simple mode, science isn't for the retarded and Wikipedia is the world's leading encyclopedia, of course it goes into detail with equations. God damned liberals.
Way too dangerous. The thought of a 3000+ pound hunk of steel hurtling mere feet away from people on sidewalks while a robot is at the controls is insanity!!
Not in itself, but when you consider the fact those robots will be programmed by liberals in a state governed by liberal extremists and have indemnity from the harm caused it gets quite scary.
As Trump's election has clearly shown them, simply removing conservatives from their jobs and destroying their livelihoods isn't enough to bend the world to their whims. Members of major Silicon Valley corporations and professors in Commifornia universities are supporting Antifa, who's agenda is basically to terrorize the population and use violence against people they disagree with while screeching "shut up" at dissenting opinions, killer robotic cars are their next step.
Per the norm for Commifornia: the population are guinea pigs for corporate oppression tactics, so the drivers will be at fault. Can't have driverless car companies getting sued for every car accident involving a driverless car, but there will certainly be a circus of how each individual case wasn't actually the fault of the car to keep adoption up. The end goal is to replace the ~1.3 million auto fatalities with 10% of targeted fatalities. That 1.3 million is random, it doesn't suite the state, however if you cut down the number to 130,000 per year (instead of the theoretical 0 per year driverless cars would allow) then you can both be a hero AND kill off political dissenters without taking any blame for it. Though being Commifornia-based the companies will likely be a bit greedier than that and just cut the fatalities down by whatever percentage is required for good PR while maximizing the number of conservatives they can slaughter.
Pretty sure if Russia is actively listing having bought Microsoft software on a publicly-visible portal for anything even remotely mission critical it's a for a fake network meant as a decoy to prevent the US from bothering to hack into the real ones, thereby providing a false sense of security to US intelligence agencies in case they aim to use a cyber weapon (aka, a state-made virus.)
Pretty sure Skype is reading your messages and M$ is passing that off to Cortana for targeted ads. I wouldn't put it past them entirely, but having Cortana sift through an app's data they already have more readily available sources for would be Rube Goldberg levels of stupid.
There are seemingly two inescapable realities for big-budget filmmakers in 2017: you have to use existing intellectual property and you must provide spectacle that can lure massive domestic and foreign audiences to the the theater.
Honestly, if that's their take-away they're pretty fucking dumb. Nobody wants to go to theaters, they are filled with loud obnoxious jackasses and plague-ridden children, sometimes also loud obnoxious plague-ridden children. I've been waiting for months to watch some of the movies I actually want to see like Blade Runner and the new Planet of the Apes movie because they'd have to pay me something on the order of 6 figures per movie to sit through one of them in a theater.
There's little more obnoxious than listening to some fat slob laughing or shudder clapping during the fucking movie, even the cell phone chatter isn't as bad as being sucked out of the narrative the movie is meant to let you escape to - except of course maybe inevitably getting the fucking flu because the aforementioned fat slobs live like, well fat fucking slobs, and are effectively little more than disease vectors.
if you regularly send only a particular racial group like South Asians out into space as a matter of regular colonization and settlement and do so fully expecting them to adapt and be capable of living and working in those conditions
That's what Japan is for, first we nuked them, then their reactor blew, now the North Koreans are going to misfire onto them, another 3-4 rounds and we'll be able to isolate Human-compatible radiation resistant genes to splice into everyone. The first step to space colonization is irradiating the fuck out of the Japanese.
VB was already pretty close to quantum computing - you could get different results every time you ran it pretty much following a statistical pattern like the uncertainty principle.

Why is a fluff piece about appearances on a site "for nerds?"
Done with this, feel free to get the last word in.
Moron, done with this conversation.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE. Moron.
Learn your Roman history, filth.

I'm sorry if you thought that was name calling, but stating a fact is no such thing.
Fuck off barbarian slime.
I am guessing you may be from Asia, Alaska or Hawaii. Because California is on the west coast. We need to move the population to the east coast.
Fuck off, we're full.
Ah, so you're not only a liberal extremist, but also a traitor and/or a worthless foreigner.
I take that back, you might just be retarded.
Because all things are one of two things which are polar opposites of eachother. Leftist extremists, everyone.
Right...so they are being anti-fascist, by beating and killing innocent people they disagree with. Doublethink of the left, everyone.
I bet you're the same kind of shitbag who liked the Vegas shooting.

Commifornia leads the world in making bad life choices.

Windows Universal was the shittiest thing I've ever had to develop in, Hypercard and 3D graphics in QBasic were so much more pleasant.
And yet it is surprising to a lot of people.
Those people shouldn't be here, this is 2003-era information for nerds.
