Do kids seriously not draw pictures for their parents to put up under a fridge magnet anymore?
They might be doing while holding the crayons wrong like a toddler or someone stiring a large pot rather than someone trying to control a pen with finger muscles.
Teslas have do indeed have lane assist - to the point it van follow a curving road. They also maintain distance to cars ahead and can come to a complete stop, then move again, when the other cars do...
Teslas are quite a bit beyond having "cruise control". So you would think they would be equally impacted, but they are not I think because (a) they have a lot of cameras, and (b) the cameras seem fairly well protected. Other self driving cars on the road today have much more exposed sensors and cameras, where Teslas are pretty sealed in.
This is all part of standard advanced cruise control these days. The difference is that the driver is no supposed to take their hands of the wheel and eyes of the road, this means they in theory don't have to worry about the AI working ideal all the time as the driver is supposed to take over at any second. It is also a flawed assumption but that is a completely different issue.
If it can't handle a car wash at low velocity that lasts a few minutes, how's it going to handle hours and hours of rain with entrained road grime at highway speeds?
They can't drive in less than perfect conditions at the moment.
Do Teslas have this problem now? I remember when you use to have to put down your exterior antenna before going into a car wash. Yes, many of the current under-development cars have this problem. Once self driving cars really arrive there maybe a short period where you have to cover some special equipment in some cases for some brands -- but quite quickly the cars will evolve to not need this or car washes will evolve to accommodate. To propose this is the thing that will prevent adoption is foolish (or wishful thinking) which I think is part of the suggestion behind this posting.
No, Tesla do not have this problem because Tesla has no self-driving cars. All they have a cars with a standard off the shelf lane-assist + cruise-control.
Are you comparing people with militiary anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns supplied with a world superpower with fat untrainted americans with small arms?
I doubt the OP was thinking of lefties
You have many lefties with small arms (which is military hand held weapons such as assault riffles)?
Except for the fact that conservatives are against more government control and regulation, so this position makes sense for them, but still doesn't for the NRA.
The wast majority of Republican voters are pro net-neutrality.
As the Marine general said the other day "Do those people not understand one company of Marines can take out an entire small city?" The only thing it's guaranteeing is your ability to shoot up your neighbors.
Need to ask the Vietnamese about that.

To me, time spent in ANY terminal, no matter how bad, is better than sitting on a plane for one second more than I have to. At least in a shitty terminal, I can move my limbs. First class, coach class, I don't care. I'm always the last to board
Yeah, but many airlines close boarding before most passengers are in their seats. So if you wait until the last moment, you end up spending more time being packed like a sadine in the overheated tin tube leading to the aircraft.
Anyway the real solution is even easier: Boarding both in the back in and front. It is 4 times faster on average, due to double the bandwidth and half the blocking.
In addition to not rotating when pushing or punching things that are more massive than they are; the protagonists also seem to have an infinite amount of friction when it comes to the bottom of their feet.
It really, really takes me out of the moment.
Don't get me started on Wire-Fu.
I was more annoyed when the animations in Avengers 2 moves through Escher space. It shows not only is there a lot of CGI it is apparently so lazy it is done in 2D and without making sure it matches what it is pasted on top of.
It says he made lots and lots of disks, many more than he could have refurbished computers. Had he just provided the disks with the refurbished computers, your argument would be good. Since he intended to pass them on to others, who didn't receive computers from him, it doesn't cover everything.
That would be a good argument against him, if he indeed sold it outside of computers who knew had a license.... THEN AGAIN. Microsoft requires you to enter a license when reinstalling, if you don't have one, an install disk is kind of useless (unless it is an enterprise version, but those have other caveats).
They just need market share until they bring self driving cars to market, at which point you can cut the fares in half because you don't need to pay a human to pilot it anymore. That's the end goal. Global transit system that funnels through a single app. You don't have to "get it" because everyone else does and thats why they're willing to wager 100 billion dollars to see it happen and profit from it.
No, it is not. While self-driving cars are close, the first generations will be for special roads only and not from endpoint-to-endpoint. Their research into AI is just another part of the scam to get more investors. They will be long dead before we reach level 5 AI.
...The only thing that is increased, then, aside from tempers, are the number of beans the bean counters get to count. It is, after all, cheaper to pack sardines into a can than it is to individually wrap them.
Uh, cheaper? Are you saying this one-of-a-kind-Jobs-dream building was cost-effective?
For what they paid, they could have probably constructed a normal building with individually wrapped luxury offices for every employee.
No, just smaller than it would have been had they trusted their employees. But open floor planning mainly serves one purpose: Keeping an eye on the slaves at all times, because otherwise the lazy fucks might do take a few minutes off...
If you ever see open floor planning, you know management is utterly incompentent and probably clinically paranoid.
The OEM sticker licenses can only be used on one computer.
No.. Not in non-3rdworld countries. EULAs are not legally binding and can be ignored. The only hinderance is local copyright, but if you don't copy the restore disk and just use it to move the installation, you have to have a pretty corrupt legal system to be breaking any laws.
No. He provided backups of software the customer already legally owns a license to, and which can only be used by MS customers with valid licenses. MS just want to sell another license to people that lose their restore disk.
Because they had revenues of $6.5 billion last year and revenue growth rate is going up faster than the loss rate. Eventually they will make money. How is Amazon the most valuable company in the world, while only having a few profitable quarters?
Uber is a scam. They are losing money on every single trip and no amount of growth can fix that. The growth only serves to back the ponzi-scheme it is to investors.
Not if they run long enough at a loss to drive out all competition. Or if they replace those pesky drivers who demand to get paid with self-driving cars.
The barrier for entry for new competition is an app and a car. Once they raise prices they will lose most of their market share over night.
In-home streaming typically doesn't have multiple multi-cast channels that the user can switch between and expect to sync. Whenever you change the channel, you have to wait for a keyframe, which are less frequent in more efficient formats.
I suggested avoiding Razer (by Linux users) if Razer hardware doesn't work with Linux because said not working with Linux is completely orthogonal to the mental processes of people at Razer. Regardless of whether Razer is or isn't terrified by pretty much anything, if the hardware doesn't work it doesn't work, et vice versa. And customers generally choose goods based on whether those goods fit their needs, not based on whatever quirk the manufacturer might have.
Again what does that have to do with anything??
Seriously... What does that have TO DO with the grand parents posts. It is still useful for Linux users to know to avoid them. Whether or not they care is bloody irrelevant.
By that definition, every place in Los Angeles should receive no better than 2 stars due to traffic.
Depends on the windows though. You can have thick windows that stops most of the noise. If she rated by noise outside, yeah okay, that is nit-picky in a big city.

and we can talk. Otherwise you are still playing softball with psychopaths.

No, let a parent get on and settled faster so the kid can get their food and go to sleep.
Every airline I've ever flown already does this. Parents with kids get to board before anyone else, including first class.
Which the SLOWEST possible way to board. They should be boarding last.
To me, time spent in ANY terminal, no matter how bad, is better than sitting on a plane for one second more than I have to. At least in a shitty terminal, I can move my limbs. First class, coach class, I don't care. I'm always the last to board

Apple: Yeah we changed up the screen and we did a bunch of weird stuff without consulting you.
Developers: You're right, that is some weird stuff that you did there for no reason other than "look at me", but whatever, man.
Apple: And we want you to bend over backwards and change your app around to support the stuff that we implemented without asking or telling you.
Developer: Uh... wait, why did you do this in the first place? Is there a real compelling reason or...?
Apple: Because we had some artist say that he thinks it looks better this way. We might change our minds. But we might not.
Developer: Ugh. So I have to do a bunch of work for no real reason? What's your deal anyway?
Apple: No there's definitely a reason: because we have altered the deal. Now get to work, beeyotch.
Developer: (this deal is getting worse all the time...)
Pray that I don't alter the deal any further.
All those developers will have to buy one to test, that will in itself tripple the sales..
