As to pedestrians, provided they are carrying an iPhone then it can tell the car where they are. And if they are not carrying an iPhone, not a problem.
...and if they are Androidians, just run them over?
Humans may be poor drivers, but at least they can go for 250k miles without an accident. SDCs need active human participation every 5k miles or so.
The average human driver (including unlicensed, drunk, tired and old) *averages* 250k miles without an accident.
So, using your numbers, and assuming that human intervention would require 10 minutes of attention per instance (call it five miles worth of attention), then a human using an SDC would have an accident about once every 250,000,000 miles traveled. Sounds like a good deal to me....
They couldn't copy it because it was too high tech.
They wouldn't copy it because it couldn't do the things a US submarine needed to do. Y'know, little things like cross the Pacific without running out of fuel....and then come back across the Pacific on the way home...on the same tank of gas....
Kinda ironic given how much stick he gave crooked Hillary for ignoring security on email.
Just curious. Have any of Trump's tweets actually included Top Secret information? Serious question, since I pay no attention whatsoever to anyone's tweets (except those of my mother, wife, and daughter - I'm not totally stupid)....
This is why I am against AI laws/regulation. It will not protect me, it will however do the opposite and guarantee rights to AI controllers.
Oddly enough, this statement looks almost exactly like my reasons for being against both AI laws/regulation and gun laws/regulation...
Note further that I expect that we'll have both kinds of laws regulations springing up real soon, followed, by and by, by the people now calling for such laws/regulations to whinge when said laws/regulations impact them adversely....
- An algorithm denied pregnant women medicare. "The scholar Danielle Keats Citron cites the example of Colorado, where coders placed more than 900 incorrect rules into its public benefits system in the mid-2000s, resulting in problems like pregnant women being denied Medicaid."
Do note that Medicare and Medicaid are NOT the same thing. As an example, Medicare is for people aged 65+ (mostly, though if you're in the process of dying in any of several unpleasant ways you may be eligible for Medicare even if you're under 65), so the question of pregnancy seldom comes up....
Medicaid is only age restricted in that you have to NOT be eligible for Medicare (Medicare takes precedence, in general). So Medicaid can and should cover pregnancy....
We can look at the DNA and RNA of Octupuses, we can tell we share common ancestors, if Octopuses came from another planet that would be really really obvious.
I don't think they were trying to suggest that ONLY octopi came from another planet. When I saw an article a few weeks back, they were arguing that the explosion into multicellular life may have come from space.
Since there's no way to either prove or disprove it, it's not science, whether true or false, so it hardly matters.
If you don't like their LEGAL efforts, then,being a Congresscritter, you can work to change the relevant LAWS.
Now, if they're doing illegal things, then you don't need to change the relevant laws, just enforce them. Equally. For everyone. Don't do this silly crap of "enforce the letter of the law if they're Chinese, but ignore the law if they're British/French/German (read: white guys like us).
But they also have RPGs and state of the art assault rifles.
While an RPG might be an issue, a "state of the art assault rifle" isn't really that big a deal. 5.56mm or 5.45mm (a glorified.22) isn't actually all that useful in that sort of situation. You'd generally be better off with a 12ga shotgun for close work, and a.30-06 (or 8mm Mauser,.303 Lee-Enfield, or any good hunting rifle) for distant work....
That is, while some people likely use the paranoia factor to motivate them to use/remember long and complex passwords, I suspect that most people think along the lines of, "I am just not willing to burden my brain with yet another long and complex password for blah blah blah."
Too true.
Which is why my PasswordSafe remembers all those passwords for me. With two exceptions - my computer and my PasswordSafe. So, I have to remember two (2) "long and complex" passwords while, at the same time, using as many as I'd like....
Sounds like what FB said was "We think the judge is wrong."
Which, much as the judge may dislike it, is NOT illegal.
No opinions as to whether FB is correct about the law, or not. I haven't read the law, and am not lawyer enough to know whether the law says what this group of lawyers (FB's) says is correct, or whether the other group of lawyers (plaintiffs'?) is correct, since legalese is a highly specialized version of the language, where words may or may not mean the same thing as they do to the rest of us....
For the most part, you should have prefaced "government" with "federal" in your post.
Also, did you know that there is no federal law against murder (or robbery) except on Federal property (i.e. military bases)? Murder and robbery are, in general, rightly dealt with at the State level....
The Australian Red Cross allows you to donate plasma every 2-3 weeks [donateblood.com.au]. Which falls right in line with 1100 donations in 3128 weeks.
Quite so. That's right in line with him donating pretty much every chance he had to do so. Wonderful example for all of us, frankly.
And if TFA had said that, my post wouldn't have used words like "idiots" to describe the people who wrote TFA....

No, because most of us would never even consider shooting a cop, even if we were rather more heavily armed than we (occasionally) are.
Just so. A win-win for Apple....
Unlike many European/Asian countries, our subways weren't bombed during the unpleasantness about 75 years ago.
While it may seem counter-intuitive, being bombed is one of the better ways to get your infrastructure modernised....

So, he doesn't know what "average" means? I can accept that. It's about par for the course around here...
If his "average" speed actually meant "max speed", what, exactly did his "vmax" mean? Don't tell me, let me guess - vmax actually meant 2*vmax?
Might want to check your math there, Solandri. An average speed of 0.08734c gets you to Alphacent in about 50 years...
So, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin were all "inferior people"?
Interesting notion you have there....

Would've.
Why is it that people expect to be taken as knowledgeable about anything when they can't handle sixth grade spelling reliably.
