We are at that line where machines become autonomous in an useful way and the rest of us finally realize how incompetent humans are at flying and driving.
One day people will look back and wonder what it was like when a human actually controlled the vehicle.
Google should be proactive about this (more so if they already are) because in a sense they are starting to become the Microsoft of mobile, with crap embedded and 3rd party apps.
I guess I have a winner for my "Who can fuck up Linux the worst" contest.
Seems like a service you offer to people that don't know better, but maybe I'm missing the full implications. Side Note: I don't want offers or scores or anything on a burner, that alone seems self explanatory.
Critical infrastructure items should never be privatized, it's simple greed.
The law should be every new home made has to include X amount of solar and has to be wired into he grid, imagine the drop in profits for the snareholders.
I worked at a large corporation whose name started with an A and ends with an E. They too had a ranking system, the lowest got sent to a certain team in our general group where they were needled to death over their stats and either quit or accumulated enough "black marks" to get canned. When the team rotation came around, the lower ranking people got suicidal, dread is the word of the day, when your name appeared on that "special team" list it was like getting sent to a death camp.
That person is now tainted and must be shunned.
I saw good techs go down for not having enough "personality" (flashbacks of *37 pieces of flair* from Office Space) and it was a dismal atmosphere.
I left that sh*t hole, never got my turn on the death team. Frankly every large corporation I have worked for is the same in that they have all the makings of a cult... I mean if they wanted to go that way.
The movie and the one before are complete garbage, and if your generation gets raised on this garbage, and likes it, I can only imagine what dreck your children will watch. Until generations later they're staring at a picture of an naked butt on the screen for 2 hours and laughing.
Why is your focus on arguing an irrelevant detail?
I feel it is a governments responsibility to take care of its citizens, hardly anyone else is in the position to do so.
That you would argue the point is baffling to me, people like you always seem focused on some irrelevant aspect of a persons post. You amount to little more than noise, in effect you're a liability to the continuity of "useful" thought most others would like to pursue.
I have little faith in the Government, however it is their job to respond to emergencies in a competent and meaningful way. That they can't is shameful, so the question stands, not to be answered by posting in response to it but rather by thinking about it.
To ask ourselves, if 2 or more simultaneous disasters struck the US could FEMA/Anyone respond to both? Does the Government have enough resources to respond to both? To even one? How long will it take to rebuild if say Los Angeles is hit with an 8.0 at the same time another Katrina happens?
Just how far are we from walking the streets like zombies looking for food?
Read this, twice. "Over the last two years, the US has increased its crude production by about 2 million barrels a day. According to a recent report from the Congressional Research Service (pdf), Iran's oil exports have been cut in half since 2011 (PDF), from 2.5 million barrels per day to a bit more than 1 million today. As a result, Iran has had to halt an equal amount of production."

I'll tell you the fastest, the USB wall wart plugged into the wall outlet.
"Out of 420,000 apps, does finding malware every month really signify something? Or is 1% a high rate?"
You need a comparison, what's Apple's rate?

Using data gathered along a persons entire lifetime, they will find some algorithm and start sorting people early on.

No obscuring your face, it's the law.
If Obama thinks it's a good idea then it's pretty clear from experience that it is *not* a good idea.

Are astronauts allowed to bring USB sticks (of all things) aboard?
Before you reply consider that they now have malware infections.
Why an international army hasn't landed at Fuckedupshima to take over the plant from the obviously incompetent corporation is beyond me.
That's only 195 mph.
