However, can we all agree that it is also incredible stupidity on Tesla's part to call this "Autopilot"?
As a Tesla owner, I do not agree. Tesla makes it abundantly clear what the capabilities and limitations are. Nobody that is actually using it has been misled.
Such a tunnel seems to be an even easier target for a Russian submarine or a well-equipped terrorist, than a regular bridge or a tunnel in solid soil.
You don't need a submarine, or even explosives. Just order several truckloads of bricks to be delivered simultaneously. The extra weight will cause the tunnel to sink and implode. Just make sure you set up a camera, so you can record the event and post in on Youtube to generate publicity for your group.
So, two rookie mistakes. The actor for entering an unsafe situation, and the operator not making the area safe.
At least two additional mistakes: 3. The rookie engineer who didn't include mechanical interlocks. 4. The safety supervisor for not enforcing proper procedures.
Simple encryption with a companion driver doing the decryption.
Nobody expects to install a driver to use a keyboard. So they will buy the unencrypted KB from a competitor that JUST WORKS.
It would take a fifty cent chip
Wireless keyboards are under $20 retail, about half that in bulk, and margins are thin. It is likely that the OEM isn't even making 50 cents per piece. Why should they incur that expense for near zero additional sales? Anyone that cares about security isn't using a wireless keyboard, encrypted or not.
...use a laptop; it comes with a keyboard at no extra cost.
... except for the thousands of dollars in medical expenses and lost wages when you develop carpal tunnel syndrome. I use a keyboard about 10 hours per day. There is no way I am going to do that with the crappy chiclet keyboard that came with the laptop. Also, using a built in keyboard is awkward with my 43" 4k external display.
To be honest, you don't need a time machine to know that Pokemon Go would be a hit among the masses.
Everything is obvious in hindsight. Instead of telling us which stocks were "obviously" going to go up yesterday, tell us which stocks will "obviously" go up tomorrow.
Hasn't it been shown that you can take a fingerprint left by someone (say, on their phone) and use it to fool a fingerprint scanner?
It has been shown that this works for old, cheap or crappy fingerprint readers. Modern, state-of-the-art scanners can check for a pulse, or use other techniques to detect tampering. Anyway, the whole point of multi-factor is that each individual factor doesn't have to be perfect. Two layers that are each 90% secure are as good as one layer that is 99% secure.
As a BBer, I have had a "second job" for most of my life. I have stacked hay, renovated houses, and done lots and lots of contract programming. TFA offers no actual evidence that 2nd jobs are more common today. It is all just conjecture and opinion.
Layoffs are a sign that a company is finally getting a grip on out-of-control expenses, and they usually happen long after they are obviously needed. The stock rise would only be irrational if layoffs did not result in rising profits, but they usually do. If you really believe investors are irrational, you can short the rising stock and get rich when it collapses. When that happens, please come back here and post a picture of your yacht.
in the fact that an international drug smuggler wants to appeal his conviction by arguing that Yahoo! "broke the law".
I don't know much about British law, but in the US that would not help him. Evidence in criminal trials is only thrown out if the police or prosecutors break the law, not a third party.
Perl is quite alive. Just use the last non-drug fueled version (5.x)
But you don't need to go to a conference for that. I use perl all the time for quick throw-away scripts, because I can do a lot with minimal typing. But I would never use it for a project that needed to be maintained, or for anything over 100 lines of code. I also assiduously avoid any new features, which is the focus of conferences.
Carjacking is a risky crime that requires making physical threats to actual people face to face
Then wait till after they make their delivery, and just steal the stuff from your neighbor's front porch or mailbox. What's stopping you? There are plenty of human endeavors that rely on people being basically honest, and for the most part, they work. If your mail isn't stolen, they why would drone deliveries be stolen?
The IT depts of the Commission and Parliament are not ones that inspired much confidence in their ability to provide robust security audits.
It is not just about competence, but also conflict of interest. We need robust security to protect us from governments. It is foolish to trust those same governments to verify the security they are trying to circumvent.
India's PDS entitles a citizen to a kg of rice and a liter of kerosene every month. How much trouble will people go through to cheat at that? Also, the iris scanning is monitored, so someone may notice if you hold up someone else's eyeballs instead of facing the scanner. For bigger transactions, the iris scan is just one factor: you also need to present an ID and/or enter a password or PIN.
When I created my Linkedin account, they asked me for my email address and password. I didn't fall for it, but my wife did, and Linkedin logged in on her behalf and sent email to every single one of her 2000+ contacts, including many casual acquaintances from years ago. This was a sleazy, and maybe illegal, action. They are a very unethical company. I still have a Linkedin account, but I don't trust them, and all my information on Linkedin is public knowledge anyway.
The models are false simply because they don't account for human nature.
Indeed. If people can "afford whatever they want to consume", then they are clearly assuming that most people's wants are reasonable. They are not. For instance, I want a starship, a troupe of dancing girls, and maybe my own private planet.
They're not gaining wealth as quickly as the rich.... or inflation.
Inflation is not the same for rich and poor. Poor people spend most of their money on goods. Rich people spend mostly on services. Inflation is higher on services than on goods.
The neat thing here is that everything you just whined about doesn't describe liberalism
That depends on where you live. In Europe, a "liberal" is a libertarian. In America, a "liberal" is a progressive, or what Europeans would call a social democrat. In Australia, a "liberal" is a conservative.

If they had been going zero, they would have died before they reached their destination.

Yes, there is.
No there isn't.

Wana make even more, quicker, with less investment? You should have considered options when it was on the way up.
Wow, that is a great idea! Do you have any other investment tips that require a working time machine?
A company lays off people the stocks go up.

Hillary has already thrown Wasserman-Shultz under the bus, so it looks like the emails are real. Nobody is claiming they aren't.

Facebook does the same thing.
No they don't. Facebook asks, and only sends emails if you click. Linkedin did it without any authorization.

How did they get your personal contacts?

AFAIK the poor people of Venezuela are far better off, better schools, hospitals etc thanks to Chavez
They were temporarily better off. But it wasn't because of Chavez. It was because oil was going for $150/barrel. Those days are over.
The border? The Russians on the right side? The Americans on the left side?
The American guns were pointing at the Russians. The Russian guns were pointed at the East German people.
from what point of view would it be wrong if west germany had joined east germany instead?
It would have been wrong from the point of view of the German people. The Ossies wanted to be Westies. The Westies did not want to be Ossies.
