Only due to 60 votes being the "new normal" to get any legislation to a vote.
So it was only ramming through if we agree the GOP was *again* making egregious misuse of the filibuster. Otherwise, it's just business as usual for both sides.
In other words, the system gives gives enough advance warning so you know what you're about to gently bump into after screaming to a stop in a cloud of smoke. Or crash into, if the pavement happens to be wet.
Can a human do better? That's the real question...
99% of the time it does nothing. But that 1% it's a useful tool indeed.
Ah, that may be true with seatbelts, but not true with guns. There are 3 states in which a gun can exist:
1) Doing nothing 2) Being a useful tool 3) Being a danger to people you don't want it to be a danger to.
Seatbelts don't have a habit of accidentally killing people, or being so dangerous to possess that they're more likely to kill you or a member of your family than to be used successfully as a "useful tool" (in defense).
Nope, polygraphs DO work....but only because people THINK they work.
They trick people into confessing things they wouldn't otherwise confess, because "the machine will find out" anyway and at least there may be some mercy if they voluntarily confess.
All bullshit, of course, but it does work....just not for the reasons we assume it does.
I thought SF86 only asked about the last 7 years, or since you were 18 if you're under 25?
I reported my arrest (no conviction, and it was a misdemeanor) and past drug use on my SF86 and still got a Secret clearance, never heard boo about it. Hell, I never even got pee tested.
I'm sure they could program something along those lines.
"Weird object enters roadway = engage cautious mode for next X seconds."
And even if it does kill the occasional child in that scenario, it'll save thousands more from fiery wrecks and other instances where they're passengers.
The United States has outcompeted the rest of the first world with it's ostensibly-atrocious medical system for 50+ years...it doesn't seem like that's much of a problem in that context.
You don't think the fact that most 1st-world nations, except for the US, were smoking craters with devastated infrastructure after WWII had just a *little* to do with that?
I wonder who "Pod 6" is?//$('#signUpButton').hide(); pod 6 doesn't want this hidden
It could be a Sealab 2021 reference? Captain Murphy is always complaining about "The jerks in pod 6". Maybe a pet name for some group the dev doesn't like?
Every employee had to show up to the office and be given a formal-on-paper memo telling them they were furloughed. Remember, by statute, the in-person delivery of a notice on paper was required.
All of this may have been changed in the meantime.
Nope, hasn't changed. My Dad is a Fed employee and he has to go in today for about 2 hours to "tidy up" and sign his furlough paperwork. Not sure about people who usually work from home (he doesn't).

How about death rate instead of murder rate?
Accidents, "justifiable" shootings, etc are what I'm interested in.
Go take a drill to a cannister of liquid CO2 and let me know how that works for you.
I imagine it would go better than sitting the canister of liquid CO2 on a stove burner and then just sitting back and waiting...
Do have gas heat? If so, it *is* a waste.
Rammed through?

I live in Paris... the waiters are fine. The tourists are a pain in the ass.
I bet your economy likes the $ they spend, though...
No blue carpet or gold curtain rods?

Crashplan is exactly what the OP is looking for.
Computers don't have to be on constantly (they'll back up when they both happen to be on).
All 3 of those statements are true.
Paying your credit card bill doesn't raise your debt. The debt has already been incurred, you're just authorizing the servicing of that debt.
I'm sure they could program something along those lines.
"Weird object enters roadway = engage cautious mode for next X seconds."

A human would respond the same or worse in every one of those scenarios.
Autonomous cars don't have to be perfect, they just have to be better at driving than humans (which is a *really* low bar to clear).
So long as I get whatever my employer was contributing to my health insurance added to my paycheck, that works for me.

The problem with wireless charging is that a single charge pad costs $50+. A usb cable + wall wart costs $5.
The problem isn't that it runs on the most convenient fuel around. It's that 90%+ of the energy turns into waste heat.
Not that horses are better, but the efficiency of ICEs is terrible.

I bet it misreads a light less frequently than a person blowing one accidentally/because they weren't looking.
Kintergarteners are a bit old for naps (5/6 year-olds). This article is talking about preschoolers, ages 3/4.
Agreed. Getting rid of heat in space is *hard*, due to the fact that you only lose heat through thermal radiation.
There's no convection, conduction, or evaporation in a vacuum without doing "extra work" to make them happen.
My guess is that, at least initially, a driver will be required to be in the drivers seat at all times ready to override any actions taken by the car.
I don't think so (at least in a rational world). These cars are going to be 10x better than a human driver right out of the gate.
