Anything that *almost* removes the need for you to be behind the wheel is an accident waiting to happen.
Like Asiana 214, where the pilots didn't know how to fly the plane manually.
Or like the way that, in the name of safety, we've removed trees from the sides of roads because drivers kept hitting them. Now drivers go even faster on those same roads and hit pedestrians who are no longer protected by the trees. How's that for progress?
Shouldn't they be computer scientists? Software engineering, while related, is not the same thing as computer science. Would you ask a scientist to build a bridge, or an engineer?
"The more customers move to solar, the [more the] remaining utility customers' bills will rise, creating even further 'headroom' for Tesla's off-grid approach."
That's a good example of FUD, because if solar systems ever get cheap enough for large numbers of people to go off the grid, then as the remaining customers' bills rise, it will make more and more sense for them to go off the grid as well. "So it'll just work itself out naturally," to quote one of the Bobs.
In practice, voter tests would rule out the black / gay / poor / jew / undesirable-group-du-jour.
Only when they are designed to rule out those groups instead of ruling out people who have no business voting (for example, people who don't understand how plurality voting can lead to someone getting elected with a minority of the votes).
Economic activity is increased when wealth is transferred from people who "hoard" money to people who put it right back into the economy as soon as they receive it.
I think you're narrowly defining "speeding" to mean "exceeding the posted speed limit." Using a more broad definition that includes the reasonable and prudent speed under the given conditions (visibility, weather, road condition, etc.) and following distance (i.e. tailgating or not), you will find a wealth of data that shows that speed does indeed contribute to the rate of collisions.
And of course the amount of damage in a collision is proportional to the square of the velocity.
It has been documented that these cameras cause more rear end collisions because of this fact.
That's because of people speeding. The faster you drive, the less time you have to react to the light changing or the driver in front of you stopping. In fact, the time you are given to react can even be negative if you drive too fast.
Therefore, if safety is the goal (big if), red light cameras should also be speed cameras. Without people speeding as they approach traffic lights, there will be far fewer rear end collisions and far fewer red light infractions.
Rather than pushing others down, they pull others up by creating jobs and demand.
It takes two people to create a job: one to offer the position, and one to accept it. Otherwise, the job hasn't really been "created." Proponents of trickle-down theory usually seem to ignore this fact.
Meanwhile, those who offer the positions are greedy and are always trying to pay as little as they can get away with, so I wouldn't consider them to be any more virtuous than those who accept the positions.
Gmail is very effective at filtering spam out of e-mail. Maybe Google should use the same technology to filter spam business listings out of Google Maps.
The real problem is not energy generation, but energy storage.
Very little storage is needed to prevent blackouts, as long as the price of electricity is never set below market equilibrium. Unless you can think of a good reason why you would want to set the price below market equilibrium?

In fact, who really needs a fridge at all? We got along just fine without them for thousands of years.
The latest generation tablets already have resolutions above Full HD and would therefore benefit from 4K video.
Or if you can't be bothered to write compliant HTML. Oops, Google fails.
Sites with accessibility issues such as content that can only be accessed with JavaScript enabled, should also be deprioritized.

The web browser you are using to read this is probably at least as reliable, per line of code, as a bridge, per part.

You make it sound like implementing one million cells in software is a million times more difficult than implementing just one.
Please elaborate. Why is it a bad way to approach strong AI, and what would be a better way?

And that's why flight voice recorders on aircraft should be illegal, right?
And if the equipment is in a colocation facility owned neither by you nor by Aereo, then the colocation facility is the one doing the recording?
That's just one 50x50 cm plate. They're suggesting a 50x50x50 cm cube of stacked plates.
Are states treating Tesla any different from auto manufacturers located within the state?
Please elaborate. The commerce clause doesn't seem to apply within a state, only between states.

When you dictate the how and not just the what, you are correct that often "everything looks the same and ends up less efficient than it could be."
