I seem to remember a few years back that some major auto-maker said they would have self-driving cars on the streets by 2018. Now a bunch of them are making predictions for 2020, and Ford plans on removing the steering wheel by 2024.
The regulatory framework is there.......Arizona made regulations allowing them to do this. Clearly they didn't think deeply about the problem, they just trusted tech companies.
The sheeple have finally figured out FB's business model,
The news has all been, "Facebook has made a horrible mistake," not "this is normal for Facebook." So you know, gosh darn it, they better not do it again back to browsing memes.
the best way to explain the earliest stories mankind told -- mainly the mythological archetypes -- is with the suggestion that a foreign star entered into our solar system in human-historical times.
In terms of along the country run better, that might be a good idea, but don't expect it to make any difference from a monetary perspective. The US government is basically a giant retirement program (including Medicaid) with a portion of military on the side (most of which is salaries and pension). Everything else the government does is a rounding error compared to those two things.
The timeline is thus: She looks up as she is going under the bridge, looks down again, then a few seconds later she looks up basically as the car is hitting the woman.
Yeah, the driver was totally negligent in any case, looking at her phone more than at the street. It's true a human can't pay perfect attention all the time, but any human can put their phone down.
What about the free speech rights of Facebook or Twitter or Reddit? As much as I despise at least one of those corporations, I have to concede that those corporations also have the right to free speech, namely the right to control what appears on their platform.
They have the right to censor (on their own platform), and we have the right to say it's a bad idea and we oppose it.
Worth mentioning that in the 80s there was a big "buy made in America" push. You could buy things with "Made in America" labels. It died though because people would rather buy cheaper than made in America. It wasn't effective at selling things.
It's likely their advertisers (their real customers) didn't want to have their products shown next to gun videos. Advertisers are weirdly picky that way
Oh look, someone wants to argue. Given that Lightning Networks already has security bugs, given that bitcoin security is very hard to begin with...........What do you think are the chances of them succeeding with security?
but if you look at how real money actually works, you can see its true. In the good times, theres lots of inflation,. both in the price of things, but also in peoples wages. When that trend reverses, we have a depression on our hands(assuming that trend lasts a few quarters, I believe).
This is not true, look at the data.
In the first place, recessions happen even during periods of inflation. In fact, almost every recession has had quite a bit of inflation. So inflation can happen during good times and bad.
Point 2: periods of deflation can also occur during economic growth. Examine the 1870s in the US for a period where this happened. Deflation can also happen during recessions.

Summary: the main thing a currency needs is stability. You can deal with high inflation, or deflation, as long as you know it will be consistent. If I know that there will be 30% inflation over the next 20 years, I can deal with that by borrowing at a 32% interest rate. People merely add the rate into the price of the loan. If the value isn't stable, then that will cause problems.
But Lightning network fixes that by providing Bitcoin the capability to support extremely high volumes of almost instant and nearly-feeless transactions.
There may be someone who figures out how to make Bitcoin derivatives that enable high volume, low-fee transactions, but it won't be Lighting Networks. They will be in the trashbin of VC funding before the end of next year. Their focus on marketing, combined with their lack of focus on actually getting the thing to work has doomed them: if they ever gain any popularity at all, they will be hacked and lose it all, like many other bitcoin startups before them. Lightning Networks is making all the same security mistakes.

Gotta get your daily injection of outrage. "I don't know why I'm mad as hell, but I'm sure not going to take it anymore!"

No, but I'm not wrong legally speaking. Everything I said was fully in accord with the law.
Thx

What myths are you talking about here?
Don't lie to me, I know this is the star of Jesus birth.

There is a link to the paper in the summary.

Here is the data on brain cancer. Here is their data on heart cancer. I see no correlation in this data (but someone with a better statistics skill than me might be able to explain it to me). What I see is that if you divide your data into enough groups, one of the groups is likely to show a correlation (this is the relevant explanation)
However, what we still do not know is - when did she start moving?
If you look at the video closely, you can see the pedestrian's feet, allowing you to have better insight onto that question.
Look at the video again. As soon as the driver looked up, she saw the pedestrian. Took a while to realize what she was seeing, though.

The camera should have seen her, and so should the backup driver if he/she hadn't been looking at her/his phone at the time.
The street was well lit, the camera should have seen her.
Maybe in the USA. In many other countries we are told to "drive to conditions".
This is not only something we are taught in the USA, in many parts of the country it is actually the law.
That's true, other advertisers are in fact able to exclude gun adverts

It should be added that if your headlights only give you a half second ahead, directly in your lane, then you need new headlights.
