The people who tend not to vote are young, they're lower income, they're skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups
Pay everybody who votes $5 on their way out of the polls. Wealthy people who already vote won't care, but those that currently don't will be delighted to get $5 for such little effort.
Also coffee and cookies for all who show up. Works for the Red Cross.
Well, by then you won't have a basement for your kids to work in: you'll be lucky to have a tent. Or enough energy to keep warm, let alone run your 3D printer.
Not to mention no pedestrians, no bicycles, no intersections, good lighting and standardized signage. That is definitely where automatic driving will get its start.
The only way I can see self driving cars really working is to have special roads to carry them.
Yes, special roads known as "freeways". Which is OK, since most of the miles that people drive everyday are on freeways. Also, most traffic jams and a lot of serious accidents happen there.
Semantics. Many people, perhaps most, would consider "restrictions" on "rapid-fire weapons" a ban.
A ban only on specific types, to be sure, but a ban nevertheless. In fact many have described it as a "confiscation".
Right. Same with the "confiscation" of bazookas, RPG's and Claymore mines. In fact, the framers of the constitution clearly intended to protect the private ownership of nuclear weapons.
Holy shit. The second law says exactly the opposite: namely that entropy in a closed system will always increase over time, so that complexity and information content will always decrease.
Or, you could just use the eyedropper tool in photoshop, which clearly indicates that the colors are light blue and medium brown. If these aren't the actual colors of the dress, then the picture is improperly exposed.
If they can, companies pass the taxes on to their customers in the form of higher prices.
Or, the tobacco companies lose those customers, who spend the money on something else like food or rent.
If they can't, that money comes out of the value of the company and the stockholders take the hit.
And that is exactly who should be taking the hit! After a while, they get the hint and pull their money out of the tobacco company and put it somewhere else.
Perhaps at the quantum mechanical level, but that has nothing to do with human behavior. Human behavior is determined at a much higher level of abstraction that includes ethics, morals and the consequences of our actions.

Yes, over and over on the same carefully designed test route. And always in daylight, and with no ice, snow or fog.
And don't forget:
Force the taxpayers to indemnify the project, because no private underwriters will.

A major reason (at least in America) is that most lorry drivers..
We don't have lorry drivers in America.
We have truck drivers.
We had them in SLC 25 years ago.
As long as those "solutions" don't involve the tax-supported government.
How that could be possible is never addressed by the randians.

Oh, so RGB={0,0,255} isn't "quantitatively blue", huh?
Horseshit. If there is no red, no green, and %100 blue, then the color is quantitatively blue.
I've always wanted a new head.
Nah, the Final Cut was crap. You need the Final Final cut.
No, all religions involve faith. And faith is the opposite of reason.
If that's so, then as soon as the seats in parliament were half filled with intelligent people, you would be required to fill the rest with idiots.
So I guess you are right.
And let's not forget that the resolution of a "Retina" display is still a joke compared to that of a printed page
So it all comes down to faith, does it?
You need to read more Feynman. You are a classic cargo-cultist.
Fuck my shiny metal ass, baby.
I've been in the presence of people smoking $100+ cuban cigars, and they smell just as disgusting as the $5 American ones.

Sounds like win-win to me.
But don't you just want to see it kick that robot abuser back?

So now the question is "Is layingMantis a human or an AI"?
