More importantly don't they have self camera tracking all around them, recorded for robot use, later analysis, and even legal defense against inevitable mega-lawsuits?
So just put on a big sticker, "Robot car, you are on camera."
In the larger picture, this is exactly why "metadata" on phone calls should require a warrant. Who is to say some agent of Hillary...or Bernie...or Bush isn't looking up and fleshing out call networks, where everyone the Big calls is a potential or actual supporter, opening them up to some kind of harassment like an IRS investigation.
The Soviet Union needed to devote 40% of its GDP just to keeping up appearances with the US over the decades...and didn't. Compare vs 2-4% of the US.
Now during WWII they mentioned the US was about at 50%, but we were producing gangbusters, more than everyone else put together, including one major ship a week.
And the Empire had no United States to spy technological secrets from. Not only did they steal chip designs in later years, they didn't even bother removing corporate logos from the etching images.
So if the Empire was communist, or leaning so via flat out seizure, as opposed to fascist, they would have struggled. In practice, they would be more like Venezuela, that seized capitalist production and ran it into the ground. They would have a few good years living off past success, no more.
Presumably that's where the empire would get the money to pay back these hypothesized massive loans -- looting breakaway planets after forcing them to give up.
We are already dumping people on long term unemployment due to vastly weaker medical issue requirements, at a rate well in excess of new job creation, and have been for many years.
100 years, much less 200 or 300, we cannot predict the technological differences. We can less predict them than the people of 1900 (or 1800 or 1700) could today.
How stupid the prople of 1900 would have been to slam the brakes on their economies by crushing the energy industries...to present us, in 2015, with a happy planet and 1970-level tech...if we were lucky.
It's bad enough most of the world lives in areas full of freedom fail as it is, and cannot contribute much per capita to advancing tech.
No, they don't. You will probably save time vs. newly-non-existent traffic jams, except for the occasional ones caused by that asshole who refuses to let robots drive.
And a few years after that, you will want to outlaw humans driving so we can do away with stop lights and stop signs alltogether.
If killing people on the highway hacks out fixes, leading to quality AI for cars just a year or two sooner than a measured approach does, you will have net saved several million lives over a handful of people.
This is similar to arguments the FDA is a net killer -- the precautionary principle delays introduction of treatments rather than let some drugs get to market a little early, and dangerously.
Intuitively, this phenomena as described has the feel of what one thinks of given the word 'resonance'. Perhaps 'pseudo-resonance' would be a good term to apply.
Pretty much. I'm reasonably well-read, and the summary leaves me hearing "resonance was the cause but we engineers have a bunch of other words we'd prefer to use because they're technically more accurate but for anyone not in bridge-building the distinction is meaningless."
It sounds like what I understood it to be all along, like pushing someone on a swing, a little bit higher each time. I just assumed that was what they meant by resonance. Hell, even the wavike instability between two surfaces rubbing against each otber is a subset of this.
It's more than that. It's questionable the federal government can even make such a rule. Cites and so on are the legal creation of the States, not the federal government. For Congress, hell, an unelected agency doing something Congress did not envision, to assume the power of control in defining how a state may create a city's powers, is one hell of an unconstitutional arrogancy.
Your argument is just in favor of cramming people into big cities, which most who live in empty states do not want to do. It breeds trapped rat syndrome, where too many rats in a lab test cage are fighting all the time, and voting how the rats living free should use their land.
This isn't opting out of the capitalist system, quite the opposite. This is capitalist richie riches funding a project unimpeded by patents and copyrights. It is a hobby.
It is questionable whether it will work, as "attracting the best talent" basically turns them into a welfare program for AI applicants, and the few, if any, Noonian Soongs among them will be lucky to get noticed.
If, by abusing the system, you mean escaping the omni-intrusive hand of government control, spouting memes while actually asking for kickbacks, more power to 'em.

"News for Nerds. Stuff that matters."
This is the first topic in a long time that's firing on all 8 cylinders, baby!

I hope at the very least they replace the posts with a message about government censorship.
Taxes on health insurance and medical care? Wtf.
Tax the thing you are trying to make more affordable. Nice.
Tax anything...or everything else, to pay for it. Not that. Idiots.
This isn't true. When the wind blows fast enough, it will overcome the springback and the bridge will just hang sideways like a windsock.
Lal!

You want deaths per mile, or passenger-mile.

Thanks. The future is most people on a robot-provided dole, with a handful inventing better robots.

The title is grammatically correct.
