Why are self-driving cars reading signs in the first place?
Because they need to be able to adapt to the current situation on the ground, which frequently varies from the database. And the database won't always be available.
If the car needs to travel into an area where we don't have digital information available, it should require manual control.
In which case it is no longer a self-driving car. Who's going to pay the premium on a self-driving car if they can't rely on it to drive itself wherever they want to go?
The 2000 presidential election shined a harsh spotlight on this in Florida.
Yeah, watching the Supreme Court of Florida change the law on the fly in order to allow Al Gore to lawyer his way into the White House showed just how "fuck the law, we'll do anything to win" Democrats are.
It was so bad, every single US Supreme Court justice called the actions of the Democrat-dominated Florida Supreme Court completely improper. (YES THEY FUCKING DID. READ THE DECISIONS)
The legislative power in Florida is subject to judicial review pursuant to Article V of the Florida Constitution, and nothing in Article II of the Federal Constitution frees the state legislature from the constraints in the state constitution that created it. Moreover, the Florida Legislature’s own decision to employ a unitary code for all elections indicates that it intended the Florida Supreme Court to play the same role in Presidential elections that it has historically played in resolving electoral disputes. The Florida Supreme Court’s exercise of appellate jurisdiction therefore was wholly consistent with, and indeed contemplated by, the grant of authority in Article II.
Your grasp of the history of WW2 is woefully lacking. The losses the Germans suffered in Russia absolutely dwarf their losses on the Western front, both in terms of personnel and materiel. Russia was poor, to be sure, but they had plenty of cheap human lives to throw at the effort, and leadership that had absolutely no qualms about fighting a war of attrition. The battle of Stalingrad in particular was incredibly costly for the Germans, not just in terms of losses, but in terms of operational objectives - the reason the Wehrmacht even went for Stalingrad was because it held a strategic location in the movement of petroleum, something you will note is both key for warmaking and not readily available in Europe.
The other allies would never have had the chance to build an invading force if Germany hadn't been forced to spend so much of their war effort facing east.
Too many investment dollars chasing too few good investment opportunities. It's time to shift some capital to wages, increasing aggregate demand. That would result in better returns on existing investments, and give rise to new markets for new investment opportunities.
Immigration law was not involved. This was about travel visas, not working visas, education visas, or immigration visas. I don't know that Trump is to blame, but his failure to nominate sufficient state department staff could have an impact on this sort of thing.
Decade? Try nearly 40 years. Yeah, I know the economy boomed some in that time frame, but all but a sliver of the benefit went to the very wealthiest among us, so the feeling that we can't aspire to things our parents took for granted has been building for longer than a decade.
From the article:
"The closings were concentrated among struggling, lower-rated restaurants."
News at 11:00 - Poorly Run Businesses in Notoriously Difficult Industry Can't Compete.
"Every living human can also decide to be on welfare instead of participating in the job market."
Spoken like someone who has no clue how the welfare system actually works. If you've got kids, you could probably get some form of assistance. No kids? No dice. Food Stamps at best, if your state is that generous.

You don't commission an outside investigation, then fire 20 employees and have your CEO step back from the business for something that doesn't actually exist.
Yes, the warlords are the government in Somalia. That's because nature abhors a vacuum, and the absence of a functional government creates a power vacuum that is filled by the most brutal and ruthless people. You can eliminate functional government, but be aware that the alternative isn't the absence of government. The alternative is a reversion to Might Makes Right.
When you form your society around a coercive organization (that is, around "government"), then what you'll get is coercion and thus empire.
What do you think happens to the power vacuum that results when you DON'T have a government? The ultimate law of nature is "Might Makes Right". You can abolish government, but you can't abolish that law of nature. Absent government of, for, and by the people, you end up with government of, for, and by the most brutal and ruthless among us.
As you note, we're not talking just a single individual - we're talking about a culture established and nurtured by that individual. It seems to me that a company culture led by assholes of this particular variety is so like "bro culture" and "toxic masculinity" as to be indistinguishable.
... Japanese used this brouhaha as cover for its own imperialist agenda.
Japan's imperialist agenda was in full swing even before the Anschluss, let alone the the invasion of Poland. Their invasion of China in 1937 was the real beginning of the war.
Technological revolutions lead to a lot of displaced workers whose jobs have been replaced and who don't have skills to compete in the new landscape. Typically, it is young workers, and in particular young male workers who feel the brunt of this displacement. They don't have the resources to live the lives they saw their parents living, and it makes them angry. Meanwhile, they aren't working. So you get a bunch of young, angry men in your society who demand solutions or they'll revolt (cf St Petersburg, 1917). Politicians and military leaders see this situation and use it for political gain, usually by blaming some external group to unite their own populace. End result: armed conflicts between nations over resources.
Obviously, this is not the only condition necessary to be met, but it is a condition that presaged both world wars. Personally, I would say it was more acute in relation to the second world war, due to the global depression of the early 1930s. But it was definitely a factor in WWI - you don't end up with an anarchist movement capable of murdering heads of state and their families in an economy where the people feel well served by their leaders.
Stopping in the middle of the freeway is a violation of traffic rules - except in the case of an emergency. I'd say an unresponsive driver qualifies as an emergency.

Division is only coming from the left?
It is, but you got it wrong. "I don't wanna swim", not "I don't know how to swim".

No, they didn't. From Justice Steven's dissenting opinion (Joined by Justices Ginsburg and Breyer):
The legislative power in Florida is subject to judicial review pursuant to Article V of the Florida Constitution, and nothing in Article II of the Federal Constitution frees the state legislature from the constraints in the state constitution that created it. Moreover, the Florida Legislature’s own decision to employ a unitary code for all elections indicates that it intended the Florida Supreme Court to play the same role in Presidential elections that it has historically played in resolving electoral disputes. The Florida Supreme Court’s exercise of appellate jurisdiction therefore was wholly consistent with, and indeed contemplated by, the grant of authority in Article II.
Not to mention that they also tend to get fewer dollars back than they contribute to the treasury.
Interesting that you point this out to the people trying to explain why the GP hasn't seen such stories, and not the GP himself.
3,700,000,000 Killed birds per year 85,800,000 Cats in the US = 43 birds killed per cat per year Not that hard to believe.

You think the fact that it's Greg Mankiw's blog makes it a better source?
Even if the study has flaws, it makes sense in economic theory.
Put another way, "The minimum wage increase works in practice, but it doesn't work in theory".

Well, the board of the company certainly thinks she was being truthful, as did the independent investigation that they commissioned.

I think we'll be okay. The XK7 will run AOL just fine for Rick Perry.
