There's a reasonable argument that there's a right number of Taxis. Too few and people don't get a proper service. Too many and there's congestion. Too many empty taxis waiting round.
No,. empty taxis makes no profit. This one of the business that can self balance, too many drivers drives drivers out of business, naturally..
For this exact case, regulation isn't necessary. You just need to make it illegal to describe a product as being a certain thing, and then it turns out it isn't that thing.
That IS illegal. But what does it help that it is illegal if no one enforces it.. But that would be regulators and big government?
Is the human eye even capable of perceiving the difference between 1080p and 4k on a desktop/laptop monitor?
Yes easily, though most of the extra resolution 3K->4K is beyond what you can see unless you have a literal home cinema with projector and a hundred square yard canvas.
The full difference is only seen on sharp details like text (like on a computer monitor), and less so on moving pictures with natural gradients, such as movies. So yeah, the difference in resolution itself is not that visible. The HDR though is a much bigger upgrade.
You don't do it "on the highway"; you do it on some moral equivalent of a rest stop, parking lot, whatever that is conveniently situated... Convenient for the AI to get to, that is.
So like a train station? The thing is that trucks outperform trains when not going between major hubs but going A-B between millions of small As and small Bs.
Exactly. New Hampshire has no sales tax, and "scalping" is totally legal there. Some people evidently think it's wrong not to tax people or screw them out of the value of their property.
That is really stupid. Sales tax is one of most effective and least regressive taxes. Also it wouldn't apply to items bought for resale anyway, it only applies on the final sale.
I've also wondered about Snowden's safety in Russia. That Putin and Trump are friendly to each other is no great secret. That Trump dislikes Snowden is no big secret. Trump is very much of the mind- if we can do it and it benefits the country- DO IT. I'm sure he doesn't sympathise with Snowden's opinion that "we shouldn't be doing it".
I wouldn't be surprised if Snowden is sent to the US by Putin OR if "Chechen rebels" kill Snowden shortly after Trump taking power in the US. Chechen rebels kill most of the people Putin wants dead.
Actually Chechen rebels have officially been crushed, it might be liberals or Ukrainian sympathisers, though journalists now also just die of natural causes such as poison in their food, or mysterous bullet wounds to the head right outside Putins office.
He's probably going to refuse to pardon Mrs. Clinton for the same reason, so he needs to at least maintain an appearance of consistency, otherwise, it will put Obama on the wrong side of history.
You mean Trump? Clinton isn't being investigated for any crimes. Trump is.
Since when was it OK to break the spirit of the law? Is this some post-Trump perspective where tax avoidance is a virtue?
I can see the problem with Google acting as a vigilante, but taking the side of those that attempt to circumvent US law seems almost anarchistic. Surely "because it's not *technically* illegal" is a childish defense.
What US law? No laws were broken. Everything was legal, it is just that Google didn't like it and considered it a breach of their terms of service.
If you only need humans for 10% of the total journey, then you only need 10% the number of human drivers.
How would you insert and extract drivers on the highways where the AI will be allowed to drive? You might be able to shave of 30% by combining AI drive and resting requirements, but 90%? I don't see it.
Because he will extract concessions. That's what you can do when you have a persistent trade deficit. The Chinese only understand force.
Which is why they are along with Putin have been the only ones cheering for Trump. They are looking forward to having a weak idiot they drag around by the nose.
I have been thinking about whether the distinction between "consumer" (eg IdeaPad) and "business" (eg ThinkPad) machines even makes sense. This is not even limited to Lenovo of course.
For Lenovo it makes sense. The consumer parts are the ones that are complete crap and loaded with cramware and spyware. The pro-lines are the good ones, and for actual professionals (only other companies pro-lines).
I have a GTX 980, so I immediately RTFA and looked for the task they referenced in the Task Scheduler. FWIW, I did not find the task referenced in the article or anything at all related to nvidia. I have the latest driver package from nvidia installed. YMMV.
It is not a task, it is a service. If you found no NVidia processes, you either don't have an NVidia GPU after all, or you looked in the wrong place. There are three beneign ones you should have and two malicious ones you can kill.
I was actually amazed that the movie followed the plot of the book as much as it did. But, traveling across the galaxy to fight bugs with assault rifles at 10 ft range was absolutely stupid. This is a book where soldiers fight in powered armor suits, parachuting from space and tossing tiny nuclear bombs around!
Because that makes so much more sense?
When depicting stupid, they might as well go with more relatable stupidity.
I'm afraid that if someone produces a sincere, straightforward film adaptation of the novel, the result will be unintentionally hilarious. At least Verhoeven's take is satirical on purpose. Verhoeven's original project "Bug Planet" probably would have been a good movie, too, even if they hadn't opted to get the Heinlein license after the similarities to Starship Troopers became apparent. My point in bringing that up is this: Verhoeven's people had a movie idea, and it wasn't just "adapt a novel". The idea "young beautiful people fall in love, fight aliens, become Nazis" was the kernel, and they built a great movie around that. I'm not sure "make Heinlein's book into a movie" is in and of itself such a great idea. I would need to know more before I thought it was good or bad. Would you like to know more? (Click here.)
I see from Comment Moderation that I've been accused of trolling for the parent comment. Anyone who is offended care to explain? I don't get it. Who have I offended?
You have offended the resident fascists, they don't like it when you call them nazis (or fascists for that matter).
... because Heinlein just lacked the required critical faculties.
That's right. Heinlein was a simple idiot who stumbled upon storylines that he didn't understand, and wrote novels of things he had no ability to comprehend.
Yes, actually understanding how things work, gets in the way of creative writing. Any pot-smoking writer can tell you that, but a non-pot smoking one might not realise that it is his own stupidity and ignorance that give him creative freedom.
No what they are saying is that UK actually understand how contract law works, and slavery is still illegal. You can not sell yourself into slavery no matter what you sign.
It's easier to fine one company for operating an illegal taxi system than it is, going against individual drivers.
It's easier to fine one company doing organized crime for organizing crime. Hope they apply the full weight of the law. Would be funny to see those assholes rot in jail for decades.

What exactly would HRC get a pardon for?
The murders or the pedophile sex ring. Don't you read your Facebook news?

All of the "vexing" problem boils down the same thing:
Programmers who never learned computer science, and think doing their job is HARD.

With news like this, suddenly the Irish will be interested in their own Brexit.
No.. That would make them even more dirt poor than they already are from not collecting their taxes.

Yeah, sounds like the new movie is going to be serious about being fascist instead of taking the piss out of it.
Trump fans are gullible and stupid. Bernie supporters not so much.
Sad and pathetic
Note: Trolling for Bernie supporters also worked for them, just not as well as trolling for Trump supporters.
He refused the deal went before a tribunal and got a harsher sentence.
Actually he got a milder sentence for a law-abiding citizen. A suspended sentence is just a warning, unless you do it again.
No doubt lots of Trump votes will magically become Clinton votes.
Funny, the reality of the situation is votes for Clinton are already being flipped to Trump.
Not to mention Trump supporters committing voter fraud.
"Thief thinks every man steals"
Also beware of anti-corruption politicians. They are the most likely to be or become corrupt.
