It's like with cops and robbers. The thief needs to get lucky every single time, the cops only need to get lucky once. With AI it's even more unfair, not only does the AI only need to learn to drive once, after which it is always better -- but it can be incrementally improved besides, and possesses fundamentally superior perception and reaction time.
In essence, terrorism is a cost of the way we do business.
A benefit of the way we do business. It is essentially harmless (less dangerous than peanuts), but keeps the public in line and ready to give up their freedoms and tax money.
That is a classic justification mechanism for crazy morons in denial. There are tons of studies on this subject, with contradictory results (as is usual for medical studies with a political component). Sure, you can pick just the few percentage of studies that you agree with, but that doesn't mean you aren't a biased moron.
So far, we're pretty confident of the following: 1) Alcohol consumption correlates with lower mortality 1a) But people in at-risk groups drink less, including poor, extremely unhealthy, and teetotalling ex-alcoholics. 2) Alcohol improves on some health markers 2b) But makes others worse. 2c) Which probably makes alcohol's cost/benefits dependent on other things, such as whether you have heart disease.
"Even if people don't pay tuition fees, if only 40% stay for five years and pay taxes we recover the cost for the tuition and for the study places so that works out well."
And that's without counting the macroeconomics of it -- the students can be considered as tourists or an export of education, it is jobs created and foreign money coming in, besides an opportunity to influence world culture and attitudes.
I disagree. You can compare across time, and so it is perfectly fair to say that the majority of people are filthy rich (compared to our ancestors 10,000 years ago).
What will happen is that, at some point, people who have lived there their entire lives and do not share the extreme political views will have to move out.
Isn't the whole point of this project? Not only do these "liberty minded people" have to move out, they have nowhere to go and have to fix themselves a place with more acceptable politics.
Obviously, if we're created in God's image then it is only natural that we'd be both inclined to and able to "play God".
However, I think the consensus among Christians is that while we're made in God's image we should in no way act in a Godlike (or was that Godly) manner, particularly when it comes to morality or ability.
Amidst an intractable outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus, public health authorities in Brazil are highly suspicious of an unusual surge of cases of microcephaly among newborn children
I've always suspected stupidity was a communicable disease. As a precaution, I recommend that all politicians be tested for Zika virus (if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear).
Yeah, their claims were pretty exaggerated. When I saw they had a Brain Training exercise that increased penis size I knew they were on pretty shaky ground.
I thought that the entire purpose of the internet was to transmit visual aids for an exercise that increases penis size.
I really like having Windows on my car, if it doesn't come pre-installed I'll be sure to install it. My old car had 8 Windows installed, three on each side and one on the front and back.

All it would take to make it so in the US would be a change to the capital gains tax.

Bah, I say mental illness is for idiots and crazy people.

Known as “surface reflected bulk waves”, the new class of sound waves are a hybrid of bulk waves and surface waves. It is used as a nebuliser.
I wonder who'll get in trouble when the car has an accident while auto-parking?
No, today the spying is much much bigger and the war is much much smaller.
Truly an enigmatic hero.

After accounting for health status and physical activity, light to moderate alcohol drinking had no direct protective effect on mortality.
Maybe alcohol causes physical activity and better health status? If only walking home from the bar.

We should give them hell.

I wish them luck. If nothing else, this could be very entertaining. They might even accomplish something.

Actually, modern app appers only read unencumbered e-books on their favorite e-book reading app, not luddite DRM crapbooks on a crappy DRM (cr)app.
