  1. Re: We need more guns on Las Vegas Shooting Leaves at Least 50 Dead, More Than 200 Wounded (wsj.com) · · Score: -1

    Back in the day it was required for every man to practice with the longbow every Sunday. Contemporary Switzerland shows that this still works. Who can't be trusted with guns and ammunition is godless communist democracies.

  2. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained on US Consumer Groups Warn 'Robot Car Bill' Threatens Safety (consumerreports.org) · · Score: -1
    I like the idea of including engineers in the oversight committee, but I also like legislation designed to expedite the rollout of and not impede new technologies designed to improve our lives. A version 1.0 of a fundamentally new transport technology is necessarily going to involve risk but that doesn't mean we should stop at the horse and buggy and even taming horses requires risk. It's the difference between wille zur macht and being a starfish.

    In the case of self-driving cars, I'm pretty sure the DMV has already identified the edge cases that need to be watched out for and any incidents after the first one can presumably be resolved very quickly.

    Innovation in tech transport is necessarily going to involve a certain amount of risk to life and limb. Even today there's car and plane accidents but we accept that as the price we pay for convenience. FTL is probably going to kill a lot of people before it becomes worth the risk. Although in this case, the tech will probably end up saving a lot more people than it ends up killing, possibly even in its current state. The only thing to really watch out for is a sense of complacency where the human doesn't take over when required. To prevent that, what we really need is a point-to-point parking solution where you just input your destination, go to sleep, and wake up at your destination like that mystical Welsh artifact. In order to facilitate this, what we really need is the ability for a car to maneuver in a parking lot. It might require some extra hardware around the parking area, but I think it should be possible even today. Witness Oculus Rift. If people are willing to spring for a garage door opener, why not a feature that allows the car to park itself and power down with optional alarm?

    From there we should expand to the ability to navigate a parking lot in a general case. When my dad first taught me to drive, he didn't take me on the freeway. He took me to a parking lot.

    What's really needed is for people to become comfortable with self-driving cars on a consumer level so we're not innundated with endless speculations that defeat the purpose of the undertaking in the first place. For example, right now Dubai is offering an air taxi service and Lilium built a scale protoype in a cofounder's living room in a week. Meanwhile. Moller's been building these things since the 60s but last I checked, wouldn't untether his Skycar because of insurance.

    STFU. You know NOTHING about IP law or business or anything and write a lot of words expressing just what an infantile and pathetic lack of understanding all you dumb turds actually possess. You want to give away your software, fine, but MY SOFTWARE IS MINE AND IF YOU MAKE SOMETHING SIMILAR, YOU ARE LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO PAY ME LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR THE GENIUS THAT I HAVE AND YOUR MONKEY ASS WILL NEVER HAVE.

    All you faggots telling people the reason no one buys your app is because it sucks, you all deserve to die from anal haemorrhaging. The reason no one buys my app is that the company is run by a filthy, worthless, God-damned bastard sand nigger who's just as much of a lying corporate cheat who belongs in jail.

    either overpriced, uninteresting. or hard to find in the app store

    Nice set of rationalizations. Hard to find in the app store isn't something a dev can do shit about is it? Really, the only reason any app is hard to find is if Apple has shitty programmers who can't even get their back-end infrastructure right.

    Apple is allowing spammers to stuff the channel with complete shit that makes Flash web games look advanced and then putting it on the front page, which has choked all the life out of the ecosystem. As the cancer spreads, power users will abandon the iPhone for greener pastures and then the mass market will follow UNLESS Apple gets its act together.

    I love how a good patent might not make you any money but a good article might. Actually it's more like a patent will make you money if it's good enough to steal and the best article isn't worth the electrons on the screen even with universal adoption.

    Thankfully, America allows 1st to invent so the lone inventor can profit. The danger of going public before patenting, as I've found out the hard way with 6uitar God, is that infringers from the third world will be at your doorstep before any customers will.

    Because they don't provide a commercial environment for software developers to flourish in, no one is going to learn to develop for their platforms anymore and then after that no one is going to buy them. This will happen about the same times Jobs dies due to remission of pancreatic cancer. It'll all happen within the next 10 years or so. Why? Because Krishna is offended by Apple's faggotry.
