  1. Depends on the state. Criminally negligent homicide is 3rd degree murder in some.

    It would land on the people that decided to disabled auto braking to produce a smoother demo.

  2. WTF?

    The CEO of the leading 'self driving' car company says self driving cars are impossible. On what planet is that FUD?

    Point to the self driving car? One of them? 'Self driving' does not mean 'smart cruise' or 'lane assist'.

    There are NO self driving cars.

  3. You realize Uber put out a very misleading video of the conditions at the time?

    Humans (driving prudently) would not have hit her. They would have seen her.

    $200...so a BMW fuse?

  6. I don't care who goes first. Just so the MAD between Ds and Rs is resolved and they _all_ go the end.

    But I'm not holding my breath. Trump will skate just like Clinton, Cheney, Clinton (the other one), Obama etc etc etc. It's just the nature of mutually assured destruction.

    I don't trust my fellow Americans or Germans (dual citizen).

  8. Waymo's director of 'self driving' cars recently said in an interview that 'level 5 self driving cars are impossible.'

    The money quote: 'But L5 is impossible, said Krafcik.'

    Buying your first house has always been hard.

    Don't kid yourself, when houses cost $20k, average income was $5k.

    Real estate values have always cycled up and down, buying at the peak isn't really good.

  10. There are no 'self driving' cars today.

    Musk initially made the claim about Tesla 'autopilot', it was roundly discussed on /. and shown to be clear bullshit.

    Lying is fine, _everywhere_.

    Lying badly and getting caught has a social cost, everywhere.

    Peer review is supposed to catch liars, but when nobody reads 75% of papers...

  12. Lie bot!

  13. In this case, Uber paid off the crackheads family in a few days.

    People should be up on _criminal_ charges. Any PEs involved should lose their tickets.

  14. Bullshit. Long disproven statistic.

    Cars with lane assist and auto brake have lower accident rates on divided highways than humans in all driving. Which has been turned into the lie you repeat.

  15. Divorce remains expensive, but worth it! on Fed Says Millennials Are Just Like Their Parents. Only Poorer (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    You need to present value the total cost of the wedding. It's never only $300, unless you're the woman, then it's still likely a negative number.

    Do you call back when people are eliminated from consideration? No? There's your explanation.

    They got a better offer, then _deliberately_ fucked you. No doubt it was payback for how you treated them during the interview process.

    That's a good general rule. But not universal.

    I lived off CCs for about a year to help put together my first house downpayment. But I started that year with zero debt and bought less house than I was qualified for. Paid off the CCs inside a year.

    I was rushing to catch the bottom of a real estate cycle.

    You make it sound like that's something new. Loyalty to an employer is, at best, quaint. Nobody working today is unaware of that.

    The Club med amenities are sunk costs. It's not over until many fancy schools are broke, then they can start rebuilding.

    How long have you had those BMWs? Expensive cars are never cheap, especially when old. Enjoy your $1000 brake jobs.

    You are right, it isn't what you make, it's what you keep. But old German cars (but not old enough to be collectable) aren't a good plan outside Germany.

  21. LBJ was first to raid the SS trust.

    Since then the trust has been full of IOUs. Before him there was no money in the trust as the system was cash flow negative (until the baby boom started working).

  22. Quit whining and get coding.

    FDR's spending extended the depression, it was ended by WWII.

    Clinton had one _projected_ balanced budget (if you included SS accounting tricks), but it never happened. Dotcom imploded and the Clinton recession ended the hope, no balanced actual year.

    The rest of your post is just idiotic.

    If you _need_ your next paycheck you are a 'wage slave'.

    Is projecting financial success (e.g. buying all the house you were qualified for, new cars etc) worth making yourself a wage slave? The most important thing in financial negotiations is being able to say 'no'. If you employer/clients figure out you can't, you are really fucked, that's financially 'weak'.

    I'm more or less at the same stage of life and income, but house and car(s) are paid for. No HOA, horse properties, acerage, kind of neighborhood.

    There are many people who get a raise and gleefully think they can now afford a higher car payment, morons all.
