* Temporary speed limits posted during road works * School zones * Really bad weather where you can't even see 20 feet ahead of you
Given that speed limit signs are fairly standardized and well-defined, having the system recognize them and act appropriately shouldn't be an insurmountable problem.
As for the weather, self-driving cars will have much more flexible sensing than the Mk1 eyeball. Fog, etc. is considerably more transparent to IR and radar than it is to visible light.
And this incredibly misleading quote: "The biggest Windside wind turbine is currently WS-12. It is 6 meter high and its diameter is 2 meters. WS-12 produces annually approx. 8600 kWh at the average wind speed of 5 m/s". Note: kilowatt-hours, with no time period stated. They probably mean per year. So we may well be talking about a 1kw generator. Again, they most carefully do not say.
Read what you're quoting again. The time period is "annually".
let's say that we ended the war on drugs and at least decriminalized a large number of substances. Would granting them amnesty/pardon be unconstitutional? I don't think so
Yes, it would be if Congress was doing that, as they don't get that set of powers. The president would need to be issuing the pardons.
So if I set my torrent client to prefer to download from peers within Cox, it won't count against the cap, right? Or it is only free for their services?
The engine is different. For unknown reasons, the US Smart has a lower compression engine (10:1 rather than 11.4:1). Upshot of that is it loses about 14MPG (36 vs. 50, US gallons) to keep up the same power output.
The EU diesel gets 69MPG comparatively. The reason it isn't here is likely something about NOx emissions. Squeezing a bluetec system into that vehicle probably falls into the category of "difficult".
The Smart cars are also available, the issue is people don't want them.
They were selling just fine until they replaced it with the current hobbled piece of junk. The thing they sell here is vastly inferior (in both performance and fuel efficiency) to even the gasoline version from EU, and that's without mentioning the diesel.

I am not aware of any current 3D printer that is capable of matching the extreme tolerances (±2 micrometers) Lego manufactures to.
He's referring to Poe's Law, named after Nathan Poe, an agnostic poster on christianforums.com.
Google isn't making the car (The test vehicle is a Prius, IIRC) , just the driver.

So, Leapfrog has a tablet with a horrible stylus-driven UI, therefore tablets are trash.
The Nabi, etc. use conventional touchscreens. It's pretty much a kid-proofed nexus 7.
Now ask the question "where is the sea ice coming from?".
Answer : It's falling off the land.
Now ask why it's falling off the land and what the results of ice that was on the land now being in the sea are.
Yes. That's what the Ig Nobels are about. Research that on first glace seems ridiculous, but is actually very useful/important when you look closer.
The bloom box isn't a natural gas system. It's a methane fuel cell.
Typical natural gas has loads of impurities. You'd need to do significant refining to make it suitable for fuel cell use.

And the thing was always malfunctioning and threatening to destroy the ship or station or whatever.
And now we finally know why!
It's working for me.
The ballot counting system is very good, but the voting system could use improvement.
Though the current system is so entrenched that we'll need an incentive to throw ALL the bums out, like New Zealand in 1992.
But only while wearing a flame retardent balloon suit and crash helmet.
Don't forget the HANS device.
Considering revenue as like GDP, Google is larger than many countries. They'd be about the 160th (out of 210) largest country by GDP.
(3) Other countries (Canada, much of Europe, many others) manage to deliver superior bandwidth at much lower rates.
You must be thinking of parts of Canada that aren't serviced by Bell, Rogers, or Telus.

That's the total size of the reverse, not how much was stolen.
You appear to be vastly overestimating the incidence of penile cancer and underestimating the complications rate from infant circumcision.

I would presume he's talking about the 1st generation Insight, which weighed between 1850 and 1960lbs depending on options.
The US Smart is a hobbled pile of junk even compared to the EU gasoline version without even mentioning the diesel.

Does this phenomenal Fiesta have all the airbags and other crap that our idiotic politicians require?
Yes. The only differences between the US and EU versions of the Fiesta are the powertrain options, the tires, and some slight aerodynamic changes.
Or just use fucking diesel. You can buy a Ford Fiesta diesel TODAY that will do over 70MPG, but they won't sell it on this side of the ocean.
