when the candidates use music from artists that do not agree (and without permission) with them at rallies, why there is no fine for using the music without authorization. When a mere mortal just downloads a song for personal use it can cost 250K. So if 1000 people are at a rally, shouldn't the fine be 250 million? And its not like the candidates don't know, as it comes up all the time, so ignorance is not an excuse.
Except there are numerous cases of even simple automated braking systems failing and slamming on the brakes for no reason. So when someone smashes into the car that erroneously hit the brakes full force who is at fault? Who is at fault when the inevitable hack comes in and causes the automated car(s) to do dangerous stuff? We are simply not ready for this. I submit voice recognition as the example. I remember in the 80's that it was just around the corner. Well it is 2016 (36 years later) and it is just now ALMOST as good as people. How many decades before automated driving is ALMOST as good as people?
I disagree, I have no issue with pot smoking, but in excess, it dulls the brain. Gary Johnson has smoked waaaaayyyyyy toooooooo muuuuuccccccchhhhhh weeeeeeeeed. It is all the man thinks about.
Me too, someone crashed into the box for the neighborhood. BUT, they put what was left of the box on some 2x4's and had it functional again in about 6 hours. I know everyone hates AT&T, but kudos to the line guys. It was a crappy day that day but they still got it going fast.
Let me restate that for you, guns, water, food, medicine, energy of some form(for heat/light) and then gold and alcohol. Water would be the biggest issue, food heck, costco sells one year food bucket thingies for cheap. If Musk can make it to mars, how hard could it be to bunker down for a year?
Except Mars does not have a magnetic shield like earth does. Radiation is going to be an issue if you want to live there and breed there. Moon also has this issue so neither provides the radiation shielding needed for humans.
I agree with the other poster, if you really love someone, you are willing to die for them. In fact it is selfish, as you cannot imagine life without them and you do not wish to live without them. The other case I see is true self-sacrifice. It is rare, but happens. Off the top of my head I know of two. The firefighters at chernobyl who died to stop the fire. And the individual who deactivated the reactor on the Russian sub. I know there are others, twin towers probably had some, as an example. They are rare, but they happen. Going to mars is most definitely not one of them. Only a fool would go to mars to make musk a hero.
I've used OTA all my life and no plan to change. Way back in early 2000's bought a rokuHD and a PCI card that could capture HD OTA. After I had that, it was easy to time shift anything I wanted to watch. I am going to be pissed if FCC decides to sell the HD airwaves to the wireless carriers.
because in HS now, they don't do anything. A friend teaches at a underperformer school. No homework, name your grade, text, neck, whatever you want in class. So now kindegarden teaches and high school baby sits. Crazy world.
You forgot double vision windshield, 3rd row seats folding in a crash, windows won't open or close. That was just the first article I read from wired. I would have thought slashdot readers could use google. Guess I was wrong.
Except build quality on tesla has not been that great. CU rescinded their recommendation it had so many problems even though they loved the car. Another quote I saw from a woman who owned an X was she would never tolerate the level of problems in her Escalade she had with her X. And from what I have read the X is truly a piece of crap. The S is basically middle of the road reliability.
Actually, I'm ok if hilliary bites it after the election. I think Kaine would make a pretty good prez. Pence on the other hand strikes me as the reincarnation of Dan Quayle. Quayle also from Indiana and had a constant deer in headlights look just like pence. And if you think hilliary looks unhealthy, watch some clips of that fat cow trump from the side. Mostly he wears clothes and gets photos from angles you can't see it so much. Trump reminds me of Martha Stewart in that she goes ballistic when a camera shot catches her gut.
And if she "needs to" release her records then trump needs to do the same. He is older, and a man so has a shorter life expectancy than her. He is fat as a cow, gets very little exercise, so may well be diabetic and the only thing his quack of a doctor released was a fluff statement that he was healthiest man ever to run. Don't forget trump was also so unhealthy as a young man that he got 2 or 3 medical deferments. So I would expect him to be in poor health as an adult if he was in such poor condition when he was young. I'd also think he should be thoroughly examined for STD's given his proclivity for younger woman and his close friendship with that casting couch roger ailes.
I've got a couple of PI-B's I use as access points. I've used beagle bones for project thingie's as the beagle bones have built in A/D. Not a great A/D but good enough. So far I have a pool controller, garage door controller, irrigation controller HVAC monitor and just recently added current monitoring to the A/C compressor and fan. All these inexpensive SBC's have made some really amazing projects easy to build. I also have to give credit to cheap components too. Thermistors, current probes, wifi, cheap modular P/S's, triacs even pressure sensors are all just so inexpensive and readily available. Wish I was a kid again so I could do it all over again.
I always find the most amusing outsource is when states/government outsources unemployment office jobs. Really, you could not find someone unemployed to fill the position in the unemployment office? I know Indiana played with it, along with California and even England.
I've owned two beagles now, not bright animals but I love them. They do not try to please me. The first picked up a taste for french fries. I kid you not, that dog could smell a french fry a block or two away. He would guide me a certain direction and sure enough awhile later I'd hear a munch. My second beagle is a total predator. When I first got him, at 2 in the morning I'd hear him baying at a tree. I'd try to get him to come in, but I'd go get a flashlight to check. There was always a rat peering back at me. He was never wrong. Even today at 12 years old, when I take him into fields he often will start baying and sure enough I spot a rat or rabbit around. I never underestimate a dog's nose anymore.
My car map data is about 4 years old now. There are times it thinks I am driving in fields where roads got shifted. Kind of funny. A true test of selfdrive would be during road construction. In texas both 35 and mopac in austin stress even a human driver. There are marks from partial lane repave, old lane markers, new lane markers and newer lane markers. There are times I have trouble determining which mark I should follow. I would not want to be near an auto-piloted car in these sections.
I know no one will like this, but maybe don't have the internet cross international borders. Make it country by country. Packages can be inspected and stopped and borders, why not packets.
Totally agree. I have done a couple of custom android apps to interface with some stuff around my house. I use androwish because they make it crazy easy to build a gui that looks decent with a few hundred lines of Tcl/Tk.
If their method works, but they violated the patient protocol, easy peasy. TAKE their approach, TAKE their capital (money and equipment) and tell their entire management staff they are out of biz, and further they are banned from any medical company for life. Now that would be incentive in the future for all medical companies to follow patient protocol.

Probably because it is a country's duty to first support its own citizens. Otherwise, what is a country?

And yet /. is doing exactly the same thing as the rest of society by giving this crap hole a voice. Bury him.
I built my own using a beagle bone and assorted parts (opto-triacs, P/S and xformer) for under a hundred.

I'm sure he has thought of this, the 80 people will die, quickly if they are lucky.
