Really? So you've been into your local dealership and demanded to know when the self driving cars will be for sale have you? I don't think so.
" including millions of elderly, blind, and handicapped people."
No government is going to allow a blind person to be in charge of a vehicle whether its self driving or not. For them there are already these amazing things called taxis.
Step outside the technological backwater known as the USA (sorry, but you are now) and you'll find self driving trains have been around for decades in europe and the far east.
"There is much higher demand for self-driving cars."
Really? I've never heard or read anyone say they wanted a self driving car except for rare occasions on long trips. Self driving cars are not being demanded , they're being foisted on an indifferent public by companies slavering at the possible money to be made and insurance companies hoping they'll lead to fewer crashes and hence less payout.
Just because something is technically possible doesn't always make it desirable. In the case of self driving cars its usually techno kids who can't actually drive yet who think they're a great idea.
Yeah, maybe the GUI and glue logic. The actual heavy lifting codec side will almost certainly be done by libraries written in C/C++ with possibly some assembler.
Hate to burst your bubble webdevs, but javascript is a loooong way from being able to decode video streams in realtime on its own.
... deserves to lose their data as a lesson not top use amateur hour software.
Field data longer than 8kb? Ooh, can't index that and it won't get returned in a query using that index.
Shard gets corrupted? Oh bad luck, thats some of your data gone - unless you've used also replication in which case you'll have spent 2 months trying to set it all up.
Lots of concurrent writes? Yeah, well, with monogdbs single monolithic write lock - good luck with that.
Want a DB that uses encrypted network transfers between shards and replica sets? Sorry.
Want a DB that uses a sane query language - ie not one thats a nightmare mashup between pure javascript and parameter passing using javascript to an underpowered underlying query engine? Don't use mongo.
C was designed in the 1970s specifically as a language to replace assembler for low level development and even today almost all OS kernels including linux, windows and OS/X are written in it. Buy a ticket on the clue train when you get a chance.
Seriously? The rate hardware changes these days theres a good chance the base release from 2013 won't boot on an up to date PC and if it does it might not be able to run the network hardware. In which case how exactly you do you expect someone to update it to current?
Only superficially. When you get into the guts of administering the OS's then slackware is a lot closer to other linuxes than it is *BSD. Also the BSDs suffer from a lack of support. You might find that a linux program compiles from source on *BSD but often you'll find it doesn't without hacking it around a bit. Also the linux emulation layer - whatever its called - on BSD I always found a bit flaky.
Sadly slackware also appears to be slowly winding down. Sure its still being updated on an ad hoc package by package basis, by there hasn't been a full distro release for 2.5 years now. Thats not a good sign.
Shaving 20% off seems pretty optimistic to me. Unless they've suddenly discovered some whole new realm of compression mathematics I'd be surprised if thats anything more than a peak compression in some rare edge cases.
Err, yeah. And? This is about making sure other aircraft don't collide with him amd knowing where the hell he's going and you need to know his location to do that. Clear? No? Never mind.
I dread to think what could happen to some of the information about those kids and who might use it to target youngsters if he's sold it. VTech have been criminally negligent here too so one would hope some heads role, but this little turd really deserves the book thrown at him.
Its almost certainly all those real world examples and more (box junctions, pulling out into a queue of traffic if no one wants to let you in etc) that are going to show that self driving cars are a LONG way from prime time use except on a motorways where everyone is going in the same direction and large US style roads without awkward interchanges.
Translation: "We can test our car beta software on real roads. Who cares about the risk to other road users when billions are to be made from this and Larry and Sergei will be able to buy themselves another Yacht (with a human captain naturally)?"

"Yes they are."

Yes, it is right.
From that page: "Once the video stream has been received, it is fed into the C wrapper around libogg, libtheora, and libvorbis for decoding"
I would suggest you try reading stuff first before you post links to it.

Etc , the list goes on.
" I've been banging keys through all of this period. You are wrong."
All that proves is that length of service doesn't always give rise to knowledge.
"Not entirely, but you pretend different."
Apart from a small amount of assembler - yes , entirely.
"I'm already on the clue train."
Apparently the one you're on has yet to leave the station.
It has been a while since I've used FreeBSD, I liked it, but as you say, its not a desktop OS so I stayed with linux.
2.5 year old beta software support. Good luck.

"Cutting kids off from their primary means of socialization IS HARMFUL."
Wtf are you smoking??
So if ATC see him heading for another plane when his transponder is on they won't warn the other plane? Right you are...
Idiot.
So its impossible to get up close to another airplane? You'd better tell that to the airforce.
Idiot.
"Someone takes control of a plane, deactivate the ADB-S on purpose, and then tried to take down another plane by colliding with it"
I guess people like you would have laughed about 3 airliners being hijacked and flown into buildings killing thousands prior to 2001.
Also were you away on Mars or something when MH370 disappeared taking 200 people with it.
Shaving 20% off seems pretty optimistic to me. Unless they've suddenly discovered some whole new realm of compression mathematics I'd be surprised if thats anything more than a peak compression in some rare edge cases.
Err, yeah. And? This is about making sure other aircraft don't collide with him amd knowing where the hell he's going and you need to know his location to do that. Clear? No? Never mind.
The police go for the low hanging fruit and make a big song and dance about it.
"Using those then, ATC can build a complete traffic picture and provide separation services without having to maintain expensive ground equipment."
Until some pilot decides to switch the transponder off and the plane effectively becomes invisible. But that would never happen. Oh , wait...
I dread to think what could happen to some of the information about those kids and who might use it to target youngsters if he's sold it. VTech have been criminally negligent here too so one would hope some heads role, but this little turd really deserves the book thrown at him.
... instead of ATC relying on radar. What could possibly go wrong?
