In Linux at least the UI is decoupled from the base OS and thus you can choose whichever you like the most
Or rather, choose the UI you hate the least. Linux GUI is an abomination, and don't pretend otherwise. It is the classic example of design by committee.
Windows is immune from the virus once it is patched, then the patch is patched. They fix the problems caused by the patch to the patch. Then finally actually fix the real original problem.
This is the same with all complex systems. That's why complex things are hard and simple things are easy.
It amazes me how many times the patch to fix the problem, doesn't fix the problem.
Can you give some examples? Patches do actually fix the original problem, but as it is usual with complex things, it can introduces new unforeseen consequences. Every complex thing suffers the same way . Software, Medicine, Politics etc It isn't that these things are easy and run by idiots, it's that they are complex and you probably don't grasp full nature of how difficult a complex system is to manage.
No-one said "eliminate", they said "solve. I'm not even sure what that means in this context, but if if means new methods for easier early diagnosis that saves lots of lives or extends quality of life then maybe we should not be so cynical.
eg AIDS could be called "solved" since you can now live a long and relatively normal life while infected.
Actually it's quite the opposite. Once identified, Windows is effectively immune to the same virus once patched. Sure you will still likely get other viruses, but that is not analogous to "solving" cancer (ie one type of virus like thing - whatever that actually means).
Have you used Win2000 lately? I was one of those staunch win2000 UI supporters too. When I got WinXP I used the classic theme because a green start button was just gay. I skipped Vista because of the UI, and Win 7 took me a long time to adjust to, and Win 8 was a shocker (full screen start menu really?).
I decided with Win10 that I would jump onboard early and just run with it, now I could never go back.
For browsers I don't care so much since 99% of what I do is in the window itself. I can understand some people preferring the old way, but it really isn't that much of a big deal to still be going on about years later...
Historically, corporations were responsible for worker well-being. Work accidents,...
By "historically" do you within the last 20 years? In the last 10000 years of humanity, this has really only been the case in the last few decades, and all it results in is dependency on your employer.
At this rate, we will be back to debt slavery, compelled work...
Or more opportunity, flexibility and freedom to change work. Depends if you're a glass half full or half empty person.
I really find it odd that you are defending corporate culture. The gig economy is simply providing services that allow you the choice to do more things. The service providers don't demand you show up at a certain time, work overtime, skip your holidays etc. This corporate system is the worst for control, profit stealing and greed.
Are you one of those people that wish MS would still stick with the Windows 2000 UI? We all find UI changes jarring, but it really is time to move on...
Metropolitan/urban areas house about 80% of america's population. So even if only metros adopt, I am sure he will be extremely happy. Whats wrong with solving problems that only affect 80% of Americans? Why do you want him to stop?
The other 20% may like car ownership, he doesnt care of course. I know I wouldnt.
And the elephant in the room which the Americans in here seem blissfully unaware, is that there are people outside of America too. And they like to move around. So for the other 97% of the planet, it's a winner.
Stop trying to solve problems that only exist in San Francisco. Thanks.
Did you ever think that maybe there are places that exist outside of SF that aren't part of America? I know you're probably American so your Geography education at an infant-like level, but for the 99% of the car using universe that isn't the US, this solves a lot of issues.
Except people today run over 5 yr olds too, and drivers get sued and even jailed all the time for negligence and it hasn't changed anything.
Crap. Legislation is modified all the time exactly due to such events, ie in order to improve safety and lower risk. It's precisely why the road death rate has been steady decline over the last hundred years. That isn't just pure chance.
Yeah, that'll be the day. No, the price won't fall dramatically, indeed it will like increase so as to expand the revenue stream for Lyft/Uber/XYZ.
In a free market all this means is the RideSharev2/RobotCarv1 will come along and eat their cake.
Also, think of all those drivers who will now be out of work, the shared ride service drivers, regular taxi drivers, bus drivers, delivery drivers, over the road truckers. How are they gonna afford the nominal $10 bucks a ride, presuming the price stays the same?
Because progress has never made jobs redundant. Maybe they could get jobs fixing all the robot cars that will soon exist?
For an SDC that drives 20 hr/day, 365 days per year, the cost per hour is about 50 cents.
A car driving 20 hours a day will last a couple of years at best. ( 2years @ 20 hours/day =14600 hours averaging say 30km/h = 438000kms, longer than the life of an average car) So you need 5 times as many $30k cars to get 10 years of driving out of it.
So $150k worth of cars works out to $2/hour before running cost (fuel, rubber etc)
You are changing the goalposts... That's bullshit no matter how you cut it... The first iPhone being just slightly better than the phones of the time? Utter garbage and disingenuous history revisionism.
Fuck off no-one cares about these tired iPhone arguments anymore. It's just a phone, get over it.
The thread is about whether Elon is a copy of Steve, or a better version altogether. I think he's much better since the stuff he is doing is much cooler.
Is anyone REALLY surprised that the FBI was wrong? Government doesn't attract top-tier talent. Never has, never will. When your hiring practices, policies, procedures, compensation and benefits are all at the bottom of the barrel, well... that's what you get. The bottom of the barrel.
Manhattan and Apollo programs seemed to do alright.
Take a bus and tell me if you enjoy that better? I ride a motorbike, no amount of automation will make my travel more enjoyable than me riding it. I'm sure some car people feel the same way.
Once the roads are filled with autonomous cars, even the miniscule percentage of people whose anxiety doesn't get blunted by the boredom of familiarity will still get more time back in their day
Based on what millions of people do on public transport already, that time won't be used productively...
Bingo. Study can be summarized as "X percent of people with no experience with new technology have strong opinions researchers inexplicably value."
Not sure what it has to do with "New technology". We already know by the millions of people who already use automated public transport what the results of not having to operate the vehicle yourself are. Most commuters sit around staring out the window, nodding off, scanning social media crap or some other non-productive activity etc.
A robot car is no different to a train or bus in this regard.

No that's Win8.1. Win10 fixed that.

Outside of cities, I can't see the economics of this working.
And?
We don't build subways in rural towns either for the same reason. They still work though.

In the autonomous cars case, Lyft and Uber CLEARLY own the vehicles!!!! They are a TAXI service and need to be regulated as such.
They aren't cars, they are sideways elevators. And last time I checked we don't apply taxi regulations to elevators.
How the hell have state and local prosecutors allowed them to get away with this??
Get way with what, it hasn't happened yet. It is only a clickbait headline, relax...

What is the market for people who want/need to know how high up a flight of stairs they are?
Is about the same as people who use wired headphones?
I'd say they were ideal solutions if not for the problem of water resistance.
Is this a problem? Samsung has waterproof phones with tactile buttons
Of course, but it doesn't mean you can throw around claims like they "are already better", when clearly they aren't
Neither of which are rockets...
