I must confess, I do not understand what these questions have to do with the post to which you replied, but I will do my best to satisfy your curiosity.
Have you ever been in an airplane with out a pilot?
Yes, most recently on a tour of Air Force One at the Reagan library; however, I have never flown in an airplane without a pilot.
Why would you expect to get into a car without a driver?
Maybe to look for something that had been dropped between the seat and the console? I would not expect to travel in a car without a driver, and I believe that will be true for many years to come.
1 fatality in 130 million miles driven vs. 1 in 96 million
That is 1 fatality in 130 million miles of Tesla autopilot driving, compared to 1 in 96 million miles for "normal" cars driving in all sorts of weather, road conditions, and traffic conditions. Hardly a fair comparison. And even then, you're ignoring the problems inherent in a relatively small sample size.
So do you expect "Automatic Pilot" on Airplanes to mean land/take off, deal with adverse weather, etc ?
I have no expectations at all regarding the meaning of "Automatic Pilot" on airplanes, because I don't operate airplanes. Why would you expect the average person to know what an aircraft autopilot does or does not do?
The very time you need your health insurance the most, it's controlled by someone whose interests no longer align with yours.
Do you believe that the Federal government's interest is more aligned with your interests than are your employer's? I don't. And my experience here in the real world does not agree with your hypothetical.
Single payer is the sane answer for the average person.
What is an "average person"? In 2014, 49% of Americans were covered by employer-provided health insurance. I understand that mileage varies, but I have had employer-provided insurance from four different employers over a period of almost 40 years, and the cost has been reasonable and the coverage excellent. I would really rather not have to give that up.
You're a moron. Table tennis, badminton, and curling are Olympic sports. Golfers are as well conditioned as any of the athletes in those other sports.
To qualify as a sport, a game must include spectators that drink excessively, blast air horns, wave noodles and foam fingers, shout obscenities at the referees, spill beer on one another, and (optionally) riot when their team loses or get mugged in the parking lot.
No kidding? From TFS: If you're an iPhone user and have installed Pokemon GO, you may have noticed that the app grants itself full access to your Google account.
I strongly suspect that the intersection of the set of people who rely heavily on their phones for interaction with the world, and the set of people who enjoy going to the theatre, is minimal at best. To put it another way, I'm sure live theatre will be a big hit with the phone addicts, as long as they can watch it on their phones.
Why can Facebook decide to pull a video but a baker can't decide not to bake a cake?
Usually it's not the baking that's the issue, it's the delivery... But you have a good point..
If Facebook was pulling videos based upon the poster's expressed sexual preference he might have a good point. But as far as I can tell, they don't, so he doesn't.
Hey what if the violent video gets them off sexually? Now does Facebook have no right to pull the video?
Not sure what you're getting at. What does sexual stimulation have to do with it again?

Clinton didn't violate security willfully, and shared state secrets with those authorized to see them, not wantonly.
Well, let's see. According to Comey's statement, she had emails containing information that in some cases bore classified markings, and in come cases were of a nature that "a reasonable person would understand that the information was classified." These emails were stored on her personal server. The person who set up and administered the server, and who had unlimited access to the information on the server, was not cleared for classified information, nor did he have a need to know. This is commonly known as "sharing classified information with those not authorized to see them."
As for "wantonly", the dictionary definition appears to include "extremely careless."
Most criminals won't think twice before blasting this thing into oblivion. Until they are given the same rights as people, these will never be as effective as there is no incentive to not take them out before or during the crime.
Well... most criminals intent on stealing or vandalizing a car probably won't be armed. But they might learn to bring along a tarp to throw over the robot to blind it.
It's still an upgrade in-place rather than a clean install. That is, it will try to migrate all your settings, applications, and so forth. Which is ok, but it will leave around a lot of junk and you never really get back to that new computer smell.
No, it's a clean install, but it has to start with a working instance of Win7. In my case, I copied gatherosstate.exe from the install DVD to the Win7 desktop, executed it, and copied the resulting GenuineTicket.xml to a thumb drive. I then installed a new hard drive in the computer, did a clean install from the DVD (skipping the license key entry by selecting "I don't have a license key" -- at least I think that's what it said. Something like that, anyway), then copied GenuineTicket.xml to the appropriate location on the hard drive. So, when I was done I had a hard drive with the original Win7, and a new (installed) hard drive with Win10.
I performed this procedure on an old Win7 netbook, and it worked out fine. Good way to take an objective look at Win10 without endangering your Win7 installation with a possibly irreversible update process.
Self driving cars will transfer the liability from the owner of the car to the manufacturer of the car.
Sure, with exceptions for cases where the owner has tampered with the car in any way (it would be nice to think that would be impossible, but this is the real world we're talking about). And of course, the manufacturer's insurance cost will be passed on to the owner.
With respect to the question of avoiding casualties, I agree with the crowd that says the self-driving car will come to a stop as quickly as possible in a straight line. Any self-driving cars behind it will be following at a safe speed and distance, so rear-end collisions will be minimized. Non self-driving cars will likely not be following at a safe speed and distance; rear-end collisions in these cases will be the fault of those drivers.
The period where there is a mix of self-driving and operator-driven cars on the road should be interesting. The self-drivers will be safe; they will also be slow and exhibit behaviors (to limit manufacturers' exposure to liability) that cause old-school drivers will consider them hazards to navigation.
Here's an idea: why don't you give him a few examples of the alternatives to (keep repeat offender locked up) or (setting repeat offender free to offend again). If you aren't willing do that, maybe you shouldn't be commenting on this subject either.
Actually, the prescribed sentence for rape in California is 3, 6, or 8 years, depending on the circumstances; all of these are less than the maximum sentence for the crimes for which Brock was convicted. zhe was convicted on three felony counts: assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated or unconscious person, sexual penetration of an intoxicated person and sexual penetration of an unconscious person. Maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
Hard to imagine that a computer would have come up with a sentence 1/20th of the maximum prison time.
Yup, calling bullshit right there, windows 7 made damn sure you were aware of the pending windows 10 upgrade, so the fact that you are even saying that tells me 100% you clicked install now because you thought you'd get a settlement and you did.
Maybe. Or maybe it happened the way it almost happened to me. One day I was about to shut down my Win7 laptop when I noticed the little yellow flag in the "Shut down" button that means, "I'm going to apply updates that I haven't told you about before I shut down." Since I don't like to apply unknown updates, I aborted the shutdown and looked at the updates (Control Panel | Windows Update). There it was - an unsolicited upgrade to Windows 10. I unchecked the box and changed my update settings to "Let me know when updates are available." If I hadn't noticed that little yellow flag, I would have received an unwanted and potentially disastrous update.

Right. No True Tesla Owner would make that mistake. Gee, that almost sounds like a fallacy. I wonder what it's called?

I believe this is what is generally referred to as "doubling down".

Somewhere at the bottom of your desk, old memos are being pressed into coal.
The research on alternative fuel sources is being done by people in the STEM field. STEM education is the source of those people, dumbass.
Brilliant, except that the article is about Computer Science, not STEM in general.
I agree with the parent. A "Manhattan Project" effort in alternative energy would be great.
You know what's great about old people? You wait a little while and they'll be dead people.
You know what's great about young people? With a little luck, they grow up and become useful members of society.

You can't pardon someone who isn't convicted
I keep seeing this. It doesn't appear to be true.

My immediate assumption was that they were worried that a court judgment against them would open them to many similar claims
Read it again. She won the court case. MS appealed, and then dropped the appeal.
