You'd do that with automated cars, too. Except those people aren't sharing the risk with you, right there on that road at that time with those conditions. I'm not sure that's a net win. The people with your life in their hands are sitting in cushy offices and/or poorly thought out 'open office' environments where they're driven to distraction..
We can't even fully automate trains yet. Lets start with that one first. It's a much easier problem.
The principle is simple: people behave better when they're being monitored. If the average driver consistently drove as well has he is capable of driving, then the roads would be much safer for everyone.
Do you really want your entire life run by computer? This idea could be used to 'improve' nearly everything else, too, because, in theory, it would save all kinds of money and waste. However, it would end up being a be a life not worth living.
Considering your UID, I'd expect you to have more wisdom than that shown in your post.
The genie isn't out of the bottle yet.. People just talk like it is for political reasons. Right now, we've just got a few metalworkers competing over how the lamp should be shaped.
You both should be left on an island so the rest of us can watch you fight out of morbid fascination..and to remind ourselves just how close we came to losing liberty to the likes of nazis and 'social justice' fascists.
Theft is not the same thing as breaking and entering so those are bad analogies. In this case, he fixed the issue you couldn't be bothered to fix for the sake of everyone else. It's still breaking and entering, but more like a neighbor breaking in to shut the gas off before your house destroys the neighborhood. I'd look at it as a favor...then I'd wipe the device and reflash and/or replace as necessary.
Depends what you mean by progress. A mouse allows much quicker and precise navigation. It's just not very portable so we put up with touch screens where portability and simplicity are more important (eg an atm).
I'd rather have the simple control panel brought back with its one word names and sensible collections of settings in a higher layout density. Win10 took what started to go bad in vista and made it worse. Low density oversized panels belong on tablets..
Actually, I prefer not staring into a fucking lightbulb with light grey text on lighter grey backgrounds which seem common these days. The dark mode also works with most of the win32 widgets, benefiting explorer and classic windows applications as well.
Because social justice is a pernicious virus that infects any organization with any sort of authority on anything, from highly important to completely benign (eg physics to video games). It consumes whatever resources it can find while using the organization's dying legitimacy to bouncepad to the next target.
Actually, you're half correct. The Christian right operated(s) much like the progressive left does today.
Both love big government and large institutions, which allow them to impose blasphemy laws, morality policing, witchhunts etc on as many as possible, in as many life contexts as possible. Progressives have their own form (eg hate speech/'check your privilege'/rape hysteria) and target different groups, but functionally they are the same. Both have proven themselves divisive, oppressive, illiberal power grabs within western society.
An important difference between them is in which has ascendancy at the moment. If you were to ask them, each would point at the other and claim victimhood. Instead, find out which one currently supports free speech and which one currently wants to curtail it. Those without are the ones being silenced by those who do have it. Which is defended by the mainstream culture and news outlets? Which is silenced/demonized?
Both are also enemies of rationality and science when they don't support the standing ideology. This is what makes both dangerous for the future of western society. I hope we survive this new onslaught from progressives like we did the 'Moral Majority.'
I thought the whole idea of progressivism was to build a classless society. You can't do that when you're arbitrarily drawing lines around groups of people based on arbitrary, supposedly irrelevant attributes, then deeming them oppressed or oppressor based on those attributes.

Fools believing this 'infinite safety' garbage are what will enable the next age of tyranny, this time assisted by technology.
It is still fucking stupid to give up that much control over your autonomy.
Just like Uber drivers.

slippery slope fallacy.
Socialism is theft, plain and simple. Tax is theft of the labor of others. You should not reward people just because they can fog a mirror.
To what problem?
Yeah because cabbies aren't also scumbags..
If true that lends credence to his statements about the toxicity of the garbage festering under the flag of 'intersectional social justice.'
I believe most history departments call such classes 'social studies.'

The rest of the planet has no trouble with apostrophes.. it's only apple that fucked it up.

The days of OS imposed consistency died when armies of idiots decided they knew what's best. Today, we call them UX 'designers.'

These people are the useful idiots. They will be the first to go when the purges start.
That's right. I trying to point out that hypocrisy.

As opposed to what? Linking virtue and value with race and sex? That's one of the many things SJWs have in common with brownshirt sorts.
