    Reducing unneeded regulation is not the same as _no_ regulation.

    You should know that, just repeating derp and playing stupid.

    No, not just alpha. It depends on what's causing the increase in background. Some are alpha emitters, some are beta and gamma.

    Background increases due to altitude, in particular, are NOT just alpha. Alpha is the least part of that, as it's blocked by a relatively small amount of atmosphere.

    On earth, background radiation varies widely. Cancer rates do not follow. This is old repeatedly validated data.

    Capitalism is regulated by definition. The only people that say otherwise are reds posting straw men.

    Its a nation wide statistic.

    Cops steal on every interstate, they look for out of state plates just to steal any cash they find.

    The Tesla that killed the dude by driving straight into a crete highway barrier had just gotten an update. The previous version wouldn't have wrecked like that.

    That was just lane following, a much simpler problem than general autonomous driving.

    He pulled 30 years out of his ass.

    Self driving requires cars that can understand what all the actors around it are _planning_.

    That requires strong AI. Which will require a breakthrough. You can't schedule breakthroughs. It could be much longer, very unlikely it will be shorter. We don't know where to start.

    Highways are done. 25 mph residential streets may _never_ be done. Because of the variety of actors the car will need to understand.

    He's got a link to the leftist version of Alex Jones as his SIG. Your time is better spent arguing with a brick, the brick is smarter and more self-aware.

  17. The USA is full of TDS sufferers.

    The whole shitshow is very important to them. One of them is Ford's shyster. They have been frustrated and unhinged for two years now.

    I have no doubt they would lie for their cause.

  18. If you've ever had a foggy memory morning while learning to drink, you are a rapist! All it takes is an accusation.

    But don't worry, similar will happen to the next D SC nominee. Even if female.

    You gotta be more subtle than that.

    It shouldn't stop working, it should stop working correctly on an edge case. It's almost inevitable for non trivial automation anyhow.

    Unless the employer is a true shithole you have to leave yourself 'promotable'. If they just never promote anyhow, then full tilt Machiavelli 'pay extortion' is called for. Just to get a better pay basis for your next job.
