Lower end self driving cars won't exist, at least not in the EU.
To meet so called "level 3" clearance you already need LIDAR.
And that has actually nothing to do with "lower end or higher end". Transforming a car into a self driving ones costs bottom line less than $5k, end user LIDAR is estimated to be EUR 200.
And as all those technology is already in many driver assisting cars (except LIDAR ATM) since years, it will be declared mandatory by law in a few years for EVERY car sold in the EU. (10 years after introduction of safety features, the EU declares them "state of the art" and mandatory to be put into EVERY car)
That will probably increase car prices in the EU but will drop the prices for the installed hardware considerably (world wide).
Self driving cars will use everything: Cameras, LIDAR, RADAR and ultra sonics. And I guess I forgot one sensor type:D it is already 5 years ago that I worked in a team that build driving assistance systems and systems for self driving cars.
Everyone who has the slightest grasp about the topci knows: artificial Neural Networks where invented some 70 years ago. So.... there goes your idotic idea of a hype.
Then again: while artificial neural networks obviously don't work like natural morons (oops) the way how they simulate their behaviour is in a mathematical sense: close enough.
If the computer, more precisely, the algorithm, has no way to reflect on its self, introspect itself, store/remember 'previous thoughts', contemplate on them: he/it can not be self aware. Because it is not aware of anything he/it is doing.
Erm, I explained bad perhaps (again?) Bonobos and Chimps are at 100% different ends of the spectrum regarding sex and social behaviour. And humans span that 100% and exceede both ends by a good margin. Nevertheless all 3 species have more than 95% of the genome identically.
I never heard that being humble is a christian value. You have any references? However most Asian cultures, regardless of minor or majour Asia consider being humble a high high character quality. That extends to many 'warrior cultures'.
Actually we are equally far away, genetically, from Chimps as from Bonobos. Which again are equally far away from each other, genetically as from us (more or less). Both have completely different social behaviour, especially regarding sex and cooperation. There is a new book, analyzing the various cultural differences in mankind especially regarding sex, marriage, family and homosexuality etc. The authors try to find explanations for the cultural differences in man kind and compare/connect them to either Bonobo or Chimps and compare. Have not read the book yet. Don't have the name at hand either. However it is pretty clear that lots of stuff is culture, and not genetics.
While 'quick decisions' have a merit in its own, it is still better if someone competent about the topic in question makes them, than a guy who has no clue. On top of that a smart guy/team will do a 'postmortem' or retrospective. Analyze in hindsight, what facts he had, what knowledge he was supposed to have and had, what reasoning would have been the best, which reasoning he followed. If his decision was correct, and if it was not, how the mentioned assessments can help him to improve.
However there are people ruling this planet, or driving big companies, who never undertake self assessments and/or try to improve but only work for their own agenda: power and money. (And even if that is your goal: self assessment would empower you to get your goals quicker)
There are no such studies, in fact we have studies that imply that this is false.
However the scientists who wrote books about it treated it like local phenomena as they e.g. only gathered data in Europe and did not look for Africa or Asia.
Hence around the time when e.g. Wikipedia got filled with articles about it, the writers "assumed" it was a localized phenomena. However book authors like Hubert Lamb (https://sites.google.com/site/medievalwarmperiod/Home) believed that the period between 1100 - 1300 AD it was mainly focused around the north Atlantic, combining warms with enough rain fall (so we have the grow rings e.g. to estimate temperature). However he never gave a plausible reason why e.g. China, Japan, Africa was not affected.
Meanwhile we know: they were effected. Because plenty of old history records about those times in China and Japan and India are discovered meanwhile. The question of those where affected at the exact same time. The man idea of Hubert Lamp are shifts in the Arctic Vortex. "The same thing" that caused the "unusually harsch (facepalm)" winter around the great lakes a few years ago.
He thinks about the vortex shifting farer south. That is a bit surprising, as "how should that work?" The main thing that is interesting for our weather/climate about the vortex is: the count of wiggles in that sinuous line which circumflexes the pole. Has it one wiggle more, then it has a localized changed weather as e.g. at the great lakes as mentioned above.
However those wiggles don't last long... perhaps 3 to 6 month, and the slowly wander. So the question if we have such an wiggle going far south over central Russia (influencing German weather, because then we get lots of cold air moved from there to Germany) arises every few years again. In my eyes it is not rally plausible that changes in the Arctic Vortex last 200 years. BUT: I'm not a climate scientist... I only have a good overview about weather phenomena.
Anyway, Hubert Lamp wrote an influencing book, but focused on Europe and "hypotized" that the MWP affected only both sides of the north Atlantik and not the Pacific (Korea, China, India, Japan) but: never even tried to seek evidence. At least he did not write about it (his seeking for evidence, I mean).
Those so called warm periods were localised. No they where not. How would that physically even possible?
We know since 20 or more years that at the same times were "warm periods" in regions like China and Japan. It is just so that Wikipedia articles get updated slowly.
It was never really disputed anyway, the tenor was: "we have no evidence", but evidence is found meanwhile. The question remains "how global" it was, because finding written evidence from south african tribes is a bit difficult... or nordic Runes, or Etruscan inscriptions...
It is the american system, where a farmer is the others farmer enemy and needs to drive the other one out of business to buy his land to get a "little bit more land" to be able to sell his crops for a little bit less but can sell more in mass. Dictated by the big food corporations, who try to pressure every farmer to sell a little bit cheaper and hence a part of them goes bankrupt the surviving go into debt and buy the land, or new investors found new farms.
Look how big a typical farm in USA is, or perhaps Australia has the same habit, no idea. And compare that how big a farm in Germany is. Or France, or Ireland, or Thailand for that matter. Those farmers have less land and a little bit more manual work and bit more workers, usually the whole year. Thailand e.g. usually has 3 harvests of rice and other crops per year.
Yes, relatively seen the food prices are higher in Germany, and France, perhaps even in Thailand (relative to income I mean).
However, the quality is different. E.g. Germany produces all the grains it needs for beer more or less on its own soil. Because this is mostly without even labeling it, "bio beer". It probably can not be labeled that way because one of the ingredients is not bio, hops for instance, I don't think that all the hops is bio in germany.
Basically all the countries I mentioned above are self sustained in agriculture, but import some stuff, e.g. not sure how much grain we import for bread, or if we even do so.
My point is: even in a highly settled country like Germany, we don't have miles long fields. Fields are separated by bushes, trees, small creeks/ditches. On the other hand we don't have such big plaines like in the US or Australia.
On top of that the US want to export their bullshit food. Like hormone poisoned meat. The EU does not allow the import. 10 - 15 years ago that lead to a tax/tariff war between the USA and the EU, until the US gave up.
Same about 20 years ago, the rice war with Japan. Rice is rather expensive in Japan. Because land is scarce and only certain hundreds of years old breeds can be cultivated. Rice farmers get stipends to keep them alive. The US wanted to force japan to remove the ban of imported rice. That ban (don't now to what extend) existed to protect the local farmers, and the rice price, and also because the arrogant Japs thought: their rice is pure, and foreign rice is tainted. The USA did everything to get the Japanese to change those laws: they refused. They simply said "our culture, and keeping our culture" is above profit. Especially if it is _your profit_.
I don't even want to talk about the south americas...
Point is: the whole american system, but especially that conglomerate of farming, fast food, health, attached with companies like John Deer, behind them banks... A "society" where only those can prosper that survive and (ab)use the predator capitalism, where your co citizens who have the same profession like you are considered "enemies" and need to be destroyed, driven out of business or in other ways gotten rid of. Well, that system makes no sense to craft(life in) a healthy society.
Makes no sense. All that makes no sense. Erosion problems, Farm bankruptcies, pollution due to much fertilizers or pesticides/insecticides nearly don't exist. OTOH: right now we also have the problem of bee hive collapses due to Neonicotinoides (gosh, how do you spell this?) but also due to a big deal by climate change. The parasites that kill the bees when they try to go through the winter are much more now as it is not cold enough to kill them in enough amounts.
In most contracts in the US that makes your software owned by the company you work for.
Even in the EU plenty of companies try to have contract clauses that claim that work done "private" out of working hours belongs to the company (as IP at least and might/will be compensated when handed over).
How legal that is in the EU, I don't know. But I guess in the US it is.
Mars is not Earth. Mars has more CO2 in total in the atmosphere than Earth has.
Life on Mars does not "need" a carbon cycle. Perhaps it will die when all the CO2 is "consumed" as in deposited somewhere. But, plate tectonics per se is not needed to have a life cycle or carbon cycle. Actually plate tectonics is sucking away CO2... but only in the sense that limestone etc. gets sucked down into the earth. It is not necessary to "replenish" the CO2 levels.
I doubt the current earth "needs" a carbon cycle. It was perhaps necessary to develop life, but it is not plausible that it is necessary to keep earth "alife".
Anyway, an interesting read. I read something similar 20 years ago.
Why? Ummm, so people can get in and out, you fool. WTF, what is wrong with you?
The people don't "exit the train into the former vaccum" walk out of the tunnel, close the tunnel again, pump out air again. That would be completely silly and technically much to complicated anyway. Why would anyone do that and why are you so dumb to think that? And insult people here with _YOUR_ stupidity?
The tunnel keeps its vacuum. Either you a) have docking tubes that connect the car with the exit, and people walk through that b) the nose of the car docks with the tunnel end, you seal off the car with a ballon/tire like seal
(Even though they may be floating on mag lev, the weight still has to go somewhere, science-boy. That's basic basic basic physics.) Yes, obviously. But as the car touches nothing it is irrelevant how fast it runs, except for energy to accelerate and breaking.
All your fluffy arguments are just bollocks, but I give up to talk to someone who does not grasp basic physics and is to lazy to read up how the hyperloop is supposed to work and instead of this always invents "fake facts" why it can not work. And on top of that because of his own lack of knowledge is insulting his discussion partners constantly... so farewell.
Well, would depend on the route. I guess if it goes a big deal over empty land, why not. I was more wondering if the pipeline can made with windows, especially if that dramatically increases the cost or not.
In fact, every Java class converts 100% to Groovy; take any Java class and change the '.java' extension to '.groovy' and it will compile without issue. That is not necessarily true. E.g. if you have attributes with "default" access and a getter or setter it will not compile.
Regarding this: people neglect to point out that Scala is NOT compatible with Java; what do you mean with that? Java code calls Scala code and vice versa without problems, but I don't use Scala intensively enough.
This is because it is not compatible with Java and requires Java rewrites in order to be compatible. What do you mean with that? Or do you only mean "not source code compatible"?
The basic flaw is in your reasoning and not the parents.
1) The tube diameter of the LHC is 5cm (external diameter 53 mm, wall thickness 1.5 mm). So it's only 5 cm across while the hyperbullshit loop is supposed to be 2 meters across. You likely mean ten meters, not two. What is your problem? The forces are independent of the diameter.
2) The LHC is a bitch to evacuate and keep evacuated, and they almost never EVER vent it to atmosphere, unlike parts of the hyperbullshit loop which will be regularly and frequently vented to raw atmosphere. Both wrong. The LHC is in a hard vacuum, as good as we can get it on earth. The Hyperloop has 1% - 10% rest pressure. The LHC obviously never gets vented, unless people work inside if it, surprisingly: the Hyperloop gets not vented either... why would it?
3)Oh, and don't forget that the Large Hadron Collider doesn't have multiple vehicles zooming around inside it at 200 MPH. The vehicles in the Hyperloop are floating on mag levs... and the speed is only limited by the rest pressure and the length of the trip.
It's just NOT going to happen, no matter how bad the hyperloop fanbois want it to happen. Did you read the summary? Or any other news? Basically everyone is at the start and ready to go, companies in Europe who will provide the know how are in talks etc.
That does not make it a "vacuum system" as the parent implies who tries to explain us with insults since 10 posts that the pipe will need to get a new vacuum for every trip, hence needs to be evacuated for every trip and will not work because of moisture... etc. p.p.
So they can't be allowed to just sit in their cars with the keys ready to go. Strange that such trains work fine in Alps (Switzerland, Italy, France, Austria)... they all have car carrying trains going through tunnels through the mountains where the people sit in the car. Albeit: the travel times are around an hour.
Why would a capsule flying through a vacuum floating on magnetic fields be noisy? Obviously it is most likely windowless. You would need to have windows in the pipes, too. No idea if that makes sense or is a weakness for the structure. However when I use a subway I'm reading most of the time, and don't care about windows.

Build in quantity for car manufactories the estimated price is EUR 200,-

I guess most humans do. (Or other animals for that matter)

As we all know you are super goood in insulting fellow /. ers but obviously completely incompetent in using google and educating your self, I give you two simple links:
https://cs.stanford.edu/people...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
However I'm not confident, that you can read such complicated stuff.
If the computer, more precisely, the algorithm, has no way to reflect on its self, introspect itself, store/remember 'previous thoughts', contemplate on them: he/it can not be self aware. Because it is not aware of anything he/it is doing.

And humans span that 100% and exceede both ends by a good margin.
Nevertheless all 3 species have more than 95% of the genome identically.
And the "top dogs" still gets more "hot stuff". Actually not. It is no difference if you have three times sex with three different women a day, or three times sex with the same woman a day. It is just in your mind. And: I'm certain I have more sex with my fiancé/GF than most (I scratched 'any') 'top dog' ... because I and my GF/fiancé have the time for it, the 'top dog' most likely has not. And we are actually doing it and not just dreaming or talking about it.
Perhaps it is opposite around, super sexy 'hot stuff' has a bigger chance to get some 'hot dog'?
Neither Christopher Columbus nor Ghengis Khan where sociopaths. About Napoleon, I'm not sure and the fourth one I don't know.
That was easy, as plenty of them are more charismatic than ... (insert random american or german politician, yes, I'm german).
