I'm all for being overly paranoid and cautious with this technology, but I find it hard to believe in 2018, there aren't sensors which would result in better visibility than a human.
Being cost effective? I don't know, but there's so much tech now, laser, radar, sonar, camera, infra red, heat sensors etc. A combination of these, one would expect, should result in being able to see.
What on EARTH is with your policies regarding pedestrians? My girlfriend was happily walking directly in front of cars on any streets sub 20mph
Shopping centre car park, intersections, etc, no hesitation just waltzing in front of cars and the cars have to make way.
What?...... What? In Australia, unless you're at a crossing, the car has right of way. At an intersection, if the car is turning into a road, the pedestrians have right of way _only_ at that intersection.
I was endlessly seeing people walk in front of cars and while in a vehicle we were constantly stopping for people to just walk in front of us. It's pretty crazy.
Also, while I'm at it, I feel terribly sorry for the software guys having to code in the 4 way stop sign, it's a laughable piece of 1400s technology or something. There's this thing called a roundabout,..... Good god is the 4 way stop sign horrifically inefficient.
Just STOP animating bloody things unless it's skippable, seamless, extremely fast, low on resource usage and SPECIFICALLY actually helpful in some way.
(Example, tutorial, an arrow boucing towards a start button or something)
Remember Windows 95 (or was it 98?) click start, go to programs and the list of programs slide out 400 bloody miliseconds later. Great the first time, AWFUL the 9,000'th time.
STOP ANIMATING NEEDLESSLY
LABEL YOUR FUCKING ICONS WITH TEXT
USING COLOURS IS NOT A BAD THING TO DIFFERENTIATE ICONS
PUTTING BORDERS ON BUTTONS IS NOT A BAD THING
Argh
Round up 98% of UI people and grind them into pig feed.
As we see some of the far left "journalists" in the gaming scene having become so puritanical the past 3 or 4 years, that they themselves have been claiming violence in video games does or can cause violence, now they're having mental breakdowns because they are arguably in agreement with Trump, causing all kinds of problems.
If you're looking to be offended, all the damn time, this is what you get. Or maybe, just maybe, many of them were only offended because it got them more retweets, youtube videos watched and patreon bucks?
Your post is totally correct and I'm utterly shocked that you've made it to a +3, I've said the same things here a few times and it's resulted in 'flame wars' over the moderation of my posts. Ending up with +1 informative for example at best.
The SJW types here have infested, hence the endless submission of anti-trump news (I don't even like Trump! but stop fabricating things about him and more so, stop bringing irrelevant politics to slashdot!)
The worst part is the unwillingness to discuss, these people defer straight to this. (Sorry this is a memesque / harsh video from a shit-stirrer but I can't say I disagree with it at all.)
Case in point, this post of mine above, while making no horrible claims about people or being nastily written is already being moderated down.
With us or against us mentality, groupthink or nothing. Wouldn't be so bad if it was just extreme left but they're starting to impact the 'normal' left as well.
That's the catchall, once someone is using it, you have a pretty good idea of their politics.
*/Generally/* the type of people using words like "toxic" will be the kind of people to also wildly call you a nazi or racist for disagreeing with them, or homophobe or any other quite slanderous and outrageous accusation, in an attempt to nullify your discussion. Effectively throwing a dead cat on the table.
"Toxic" opinions range from all kinds of stances, but it need only be saying "all lives matter" or "equality for all, not promotion of minorities over others" etc, that alone can trigger these kinds of people into calling you toxic.
Reddit, twitter and youtube in the last 12 months have really gone on a crusade against people. The sad thing is, in people using such terminology so freely like racist or nazi, they're devaluing the use of the word and allowing real racists and nazis to slip between the cracks. If everyone is a nazi, no one is.
Many of the 'alt-right' horrible people are infact quite liberal, they simply point of the hypocrisy and madness of some of the extreme left claims. Things such as "doxxing is fine, as long as we think they're bad people" or even "violence against people is ok, as long as they're alt-right" (and so on and so forth,..)
The thing with the extreme left is they're just so easy to provoke and get a rise from, you can say something entirely in jest, clearly in jest to people with common sense and they go into an autistic screech. This over reaction, is so wild and inane people can't help but push the buttons of these people. Not because they believe half the shit they say but because the result is hilarious. It's like teasing the kid at school who loses his mind when you call him X name. (To be clear, I was bullied at school myself)
Ahh politics on the web, it's truly become an awful place in the past 2 years, horrifically so. Worst part is, for us non Americans, we didn't give a damn. Americans really are an incredibly political lot, they love discussing it, they identify with it, they follow it closely. Many other countries really couldn't give a damn, but sadly, most content does indeed originate from the states, meaning all kinds of things are now filled with political undertones, tweets, youtube videos, tv shows, movies, music. It's awful for those of us who simply don't (or didn't) care and had ignored all this most of our lives.
Read the rest of the posts here and carefully, understand them, this isn't about supporting nazis, this is about mislabelling people who disagree with practically anything to virtually any extent as Nazi. Censorship far beyond "just blocking Nazis"
Have to agree with this, from what little I know, it's always the tokamak design, why keep trying it without success?
I was reading up on ITER just last week, that thing is incredible expensive, incredible late and not going to produce power. The even bigger even more expensive one, they hope to get some power from and the one AFTER that might be commercial.
Bear in mind the article I read said that Ronald Reagan and bloody Gorbachev are the two who signed off on it, to give you an idea of how long ITER is taking,....
I want fusion so incredibly badly, incase it somehow saves us, though I doubt it. However at this point, just increase and increase the focus on renewables, please
With you entirely, there's an endless supply of articles and videos out the with clear evidence that letting in millions of unchecked immigrants from horrific counties has resulted in massive crime increase, these people are simply different culturally. Not all of them, most though.
In the old days, with tighter borders, much lower immigration, the "quality" people from these regions who were educated, with good values, would escape the riff Raff and leave to other countries. Now the riff Raff practically have open borders, so they are swarming in. You need only ask the old immigrants from these same regions who came 20 to 50 years ago and they'll speak far poorly of"their countrymen" than any local "alt right" person.
Your points are so incredibly valid. In a time where housing is so difficult to afford, jobs harder to find, wages stagnating, buying power diminishing, WHY IN EARTH, do these places need more immigrants?! Race aside, cultural issues aside, crime, skin colour, forget that, forget it all, why, economically should the locals be getting fucked?
My country is one of the highest in the world, (besides Germany which is of course INSANE) and the economic impact is utterly incredible. The locals are being priced out of ever owning a home, we are specifically inviting quite a wealthy demographic who are using the country as a retirement village and another demographic who are willing to work for a bit less. My country isn't Europe and I tell you now, the fear of a landlord kicking you out of his property for profit and gentrification is very very worrying, upsetting, anxiety inducing.
This immigration specifically helps the very wealthy, more workers for tax, more profit for big business, resulting in huge dividends, housing investments increasing in value or return on rent. Best part is the elite wealthy (generally right) are now in agreement with the left on mass immigration for entirely different reasons and the left have no idea JUST HOW MUCH it's ruining things for the young, (generally left, I was young once too) These poor, idiot kids are fighting the hard sjw issues! And in turn wondering why they have shit pay, shit jobs, no jobs and insane expensive houses.
AND they can't be told by moderates like me, I'm obviously a Nazi.... Sigh
These radical far left people are literally no longer looking to break news or report, they're looking for specific stuff in their agenda and reporting or exaggerating it.
YouTube has something obscene uploaded each day, it's utterly astronomical, the quality of GENUINE Nazi content would be not only very small but against YouTube guidelines.
However, because people would dare have opposing viewpoints about immigration (numbers, not race) or wage gap, or bring directly racist AGAINST white people, the extreme left have started claiming almost anyone is "Alt-right" or an actual Nazi.
They're diminishing the value of the term Nazi, significantly and bringing politics where it simply doesn't belong, the politicisation of the web in the past 3 years is astounding, even Slashdot is reporting this stuff weekly of not daily.
It's a war and these people are literally unable to not see the political angle in everything, effectively they're trolling and dragging everyone into it, it's quite awful.
I saw an article not more than 48 hours ago that "steam has a Nazi problem" you know the platform with over 60 million customers, has one or two bad posters and groups, some of which had over 30!!! members! Clearly harbouring Nazis,...
These people are so crazy they've driven me further right, sick of their whining, tired of the lies and exaggeration, the misrepresentation of people who don't share their ideology.
Long story short, I'm ignoring them more and more and it's genuinely hiding real trouble makers.
No really though, I've seen I think now, at least 3 articles in the past 6 months, discussing limited running of genuinely autonomous vehicles on the roads.
Note the headline: "Uber Self-Driving Trucks Are *Now* Moving",....
So for all these articles I've not seen a single photo or video of an actual self driving vehicle operating on it's own without being either PR video or testing video.
Is this/actually/ occurring or just claimed to be? I find the tech exciting and interesting. Scary for the world for certain but it is interesting and it's very very obviously not going away. So, more pics, more video, more evidence or, less talking.
They've really discounted the thing of late, plus their controllers are quite good (apparently). I wouldn't say the price is reasonable but it did drop in to a range that only partially wealthy enthusiasts could try.

Seriously, if I'm going to be disallowed access to things in society due to my personality, I'm going to have a pretty bad reaction.

I'll be able to read the signs around Melbourne and Sydney, especially on the property listings in the city!
They still don't have gigabit networking on board? The orange pi does I believe at near half the cost.
Very happy with my pi's but using networking over USB is simply not going to happen
Love it, AC calling people whiny and specifically targetting race, it's fun to white bash now, yay.
Go away.

I'm not an Apple guy, but I was pondering making my long (8 hour) drive more pleasant.
Would love to be able to speak to a device and get it to read back web pages to me, basically browse via voice. Could be quite useful.

They love focusing on the bloody messenger (apparently) and not the message.
The democrats got trump elected, not the republicans.
AND STOP BRINGING YOUR DAMN POLITICAL TROLLING TO SLASHDOT.
Stop trying to stir up trouble, we donâ(TM)t come here for politics,
Submitter, go back to reddit, shoo or twitter
Actually it doesn't even need to be extreme. Maybe just not left wing and political.

It requires nuclear fusion reactors to operate and as we all know, they're 'only' a few decades away at most.

I really recommend you get that milk player program and check out some VR porn, it's certainly an experience.
