It will prevent that by having 'eyes' at the rear bumper looking both left and right for objects approaching. Human drivers, at best, have a rear pointing camera on the back of the car. The backing out of a driveway scenario is one in which an automated car has a massive and clear advantage in safety. Particularly with glancing off a rear fender.
To get a large enough sample size, the vehicles need to be on the road. If you couldn't buy a VW Beetle until it had several million miles of on road testing, you likely would not have a 1973 VW Beatle with 300k on it.
No, they are not. I used to write insurance rating software. You know those companies that would offer to compare rates against different companies to get you the lowest price? In California, we were the major supplier of the software that does that. With that, we had very close contact with all of the insurance companies, as their agents would use our software to quote rates.
Contrary to 'common knowledge', auto insurance policies are not well thought out mathematical calculations. They are kludge on top of gut feeling on top of assumption on top of more layers of kludge, gut feeling and assumption. What a large number of the companies do is just clone a competitor's plan, and than change calculations based on what they assume will give them good results. I can't count the number of times I called a company to get clarification on their calculations and the response I got was "I don't know. How are you calculating it? We will just calculate it the same way you do.".
While I agree, the fact that we accept 'bad' to mean 'good', I'm thinking you are not going to convince people to stop using 'literally' to mean 'not literally'.
Oh yeah, the Raspberry Pi is powered via USB too. This means that if your TV leaves the USB ports powered when it is off, you can sticky tap the Raspberry Pi to the back of the TV, plug the USB power into a USB port on the back or side of your TV, and plug the HDMI in the back as well. In many cases, there doesn't need to be a single cable for the Raspberry Pi coming out from behind the TV.
I would recommend the Raspberry Pi over the Ouya. I have both, and they are both cool, but the killer feature of the Raspberry Pi is that it supports CEC. This means that if you have a TV that also supports the CEC standard, you don't need two remotes. Your TV remote will automatically work for controlling your Raspberry Pi with no extra hardware and no software configuration other than ticking off the check box in XBMC and on your TV to say that you want to use CEC.
Conversely, the Ouya has a Bluetooth gamepad for controlling XBMC. CEC with the remote you are already using to control your TV is a pretty find solution.
Also, I have no problem running 1080p video on the Raspberry Pi. Even SBS 3D stuff.
The piece that most people miss is that we train our children for 13+ years that ageism is the natural order of things. You can't read. You are not 5 years old yet. You can't do geometry proofs. You are only 9. You are 12? Then you definitely know your multiplication tables, and we will put you in classes that assume that you do.
To be fair, attraction to women is fairly common in women. If trans women truly are female in the brain, then I would expect somewhere in the range of 80%-90% of them to be attracted to women.
You mean like how in Excel, when you want to insert a new line in your spreadsheet, you click on the 'Insert Ribbon'? Oh, wait. The Insert tab of the ribbon doesn't have an insert line selection. That must be because people almost never need to put a new line into their spreadsheet.
No kidding. Next thing you know, people will start just buying or renting their homes instead of chopping down trees, milling them into lumber using hand tools, and building their homes themselves. Good thing you and I are not one of those lazy people who rely on those "engineering solutions".
If I was like you, I would smugly tell everyone that they should telecommute. That any parent that doesn't get to eat lunch with their child everyday is just not trying.
The thing is, there are only so many jobs that people can telecommute to. More jobs could be telecommuting than are, but that decision generally isn't the employees to make. Even if every job that could be telecommuting was, there would still be a need for a large percentage of people to work on-site. The fact that you* and I can telecommute is because not everyone else does.
* I am assuming that you too telecommute given that you can just quit jobs and change careers to get a better work/life balance.
Agreed. My brother took the 'quit the horrible job' route. He is only 4 years older than me, but after a life of living on the street, spending time in jail because committing crime was the only way to eat when you can't hold down a job, and drug use to escape the hell that he made for his life, he looks like he could be my father instead of my brother.
Like throwing garbage out the window of your car, one person doing it works just fine without problems. When everyone does it, you have a mess on your hands and it doesn't work anymore.
Your story doesn't pass the sniff test. There is no reason you could not eat the same way in the US that you do in Europe and there is no reason that you can not eat in Europe the same way that you do in the US.
Also, the claim that a bartender was confused that your wife didn't want alcohol is also ridiculous. If it was 1970, I would believe you, but the crack down on drunk driving that has been happening for the last 30 years has made 'Designated Drivers' down right common. No bartender is confused by someone declining alcohol.
While 100 pounds in a week sound exagerated, the human body is approximately 60% water. So, if right off the top, you could theoretically gain 100 lbs of weight by consuming 40 lbs of food. Now add in the fact that 60% is an approximation. Presumably there is some variance in the percentage of water that make up a human. Then add that by some accounts a very large percentage of the population is suffering from chronic dehydration. I am not making a claim, but if thyroid removal in some way triggers a persons body to store more water, this theoretical person could, instead of being below the 60% line, be over the 60% line.
I am not agreeing to the 100 pounds in a week claimed by the parent poster, but I can certainly conceive of a universe where his claim is true. Thus calling it a ridiculous exaggeration out of hand seems like a pretty weak rebuttal. Particularly since his point would still stand if he had said 50 lbs in a month.
Funny, when I did the Atkins diet, I lost ~50 lbs while at he same time INCREASING my caloric intake by about 500 calories a day. I was freaking gorging myself on huge amounts of yummy yummy face food.
While I don't personally know any kids that are victims of the common story of kids being drugged for wanting to play, I am personally aware of two of my son's friends who have been diagnosed as mentally ill and drugged because they insisted that they wanted to go home when a rival state decided to kidnap them.

Municipalities could be underfunded because they will no longer be able to write as many traffic tickets? Does that count as something going wrong?

Gates left because the company peaked and was about to start a downward spiral. Not the other way around.

Which in theory this drug would solve.

Says the guy who doesn't grow all of his own food and didn't even bother to build his own home by chopping down trees and milling the wood himself.

P.S.: With enough luck even a lousy plan can work. And some successful people will reccommend lousy plans because "It worked for me".
All of these people could be perfect examples.

It most certainly does. Look at the ingredients of Cat Chow.

I'm sorry but it clearly is excess calories. If you burn more than you eat, you will lose weight. It's basic thermodynamics.
Only for people with no anus.
