They, in fact, did not "steer a Tesla into oncoming traffic", but instead made the software "think" there was a lane line where there was none. The car did go the wrong way (or would have if they'd let it), but there was no traffic. They even said, if there had been cars there, the Tesla likely would have noticed them and not blithely crashed head on.
Replying to you and the person above, I think there are ways to listen to music that streaming just doesn't satisfy for some folks. I buy cds, burn them, and transfer it all to my phone (used to be an MP3 player). Most often, when listening, I just press shuffle over the entire collection. In fact I don't really like the shuffle algorithm on the player app I have, it doesn't "mix things up" enough. And I don't want repeats. Sometimes I run through all my songs in alphabetical order by title, and that is actually pretty random.
I listen in my car, and maybe a little at work, and this way of listening can last me months without repeating a song. If I'm at home, we listen to the radio or pick a specific album for a particular reason.
None of these methods fits well with streaming, really.
And I'm old enough to actually want to own the music on a physical medium, so it doesn't disappear from my account when the service shuts down.
I've been a programmer for a long time. Bunch of different languages, mostly Unix or Linux, some Windows. "If you're still running Trusty you can get the latest Chromium as a snap right now." Is that even English? Or what?
Several recommendations for Frank Miller books, and I gotta say, maybe skip them. The original Dark Knight wasn't too bad, and his collected Daredevil might be okay, but he started getting political and just weird (not in a good way). The last Dark Knight series was technically kind of interesting but I had to quit, it turned to shit very soon.
There are authors and artists that care about story and art. Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore is very good, and his follow on stuff was interesting too, like Rachel Rising (horror) and Echo (sci-fi, not quite as good but still good). Watchmen deserves its place on any list, and I found League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (also by Alan Moore) fun. Picking individual bits out of Marvel or DC can be good as well. The original Infinity Gauntlet (I think that's what it's called) was good (by Starlin and Perez). For fun, people mentioned Asterix, and I'd suggest Groo the Wanderer (by Aragones) as well.
Personally I like anything by Jack Kirby: original Fantastic Four, Kamandi, New Gods.
These are all things that stores are likely to have, so easy to try out. Heck, my local libraries have a bunch of collections and graphic novels on the shelves.
I've had a number of places in other countries send me emails for golf tee times, telling me my car was fixed or that they were turning me down for a loan. But this kind of triggered something. Used to get calls from teens calling some girl. She'd probably given them the wrong number as they couldn't take a hint, or maybe they just couldn't dial correctly (the days before cell phones). Most of the calls went something like "Is Mary there?" "No she isn't." "Do you know when she'll be back?" "Sorry, no." "Thanks." It was a bonus because technically I wasn't lying, Mary, whoever she was, was not there, and I had no idea when she might be back. Mostly they didn't call more than a time or two.
I think people here are not understanding exactly what this "comment" page is. It's not just a forum, like/., that anyone can post to anonymously. You have to enter name, address, phone number and email address, and the comments are made public. It's an "official" comment, for some values of "official". Of course you can likely fake most or all of the info you put in, but it's not quite as lame as being an online troll. And the process for getting there is somewhat obtuse, so having Last Week Tonight's link to get there (gofccyourself.com) is a great help.
I was going to answer, but became suspicious because I'd already answered the polls: What was you mother's maiden name? and What was your first pet? Nice try, scammer! I'm not going to fall for it this time.
Oh, and my favorite sci-fi movie was 2001 A Space Odyssey.
I paid $3000 for it, happily, because I was going to learn everything about it. It had two (two!) 5 1/4 floppy drives, maybe 64K ram, and a green phosphor monitor. Along the way I upgraded to color graphics (16 colors!), a 10 MB hard drive to replace one of the floppies, and an 8086 CPU which was 10% faster than the 8088 it came with. I added or replaced all the chips myself, borrowing a chip puller and inserter from work. CPU fan? We don't need no stinking CPU fan. Fun times.
"Could this be another new military aircraft that's getting its first tests?" Obviously, it's a UFO. No other possible explanation is possible. At last, proof of aliens! Wow! To think, we're alive at such a time.

It's not exactly time travel. They go back in time, but only to an alternate universe (according to the comic, ours). So they may not be going back so much as just over, and the other universe is 70 some years behind? Dunno. But hey, it's also a comic book, and liberties are taken sometimes for an interesting story. It is pretty good, I don't get too many comics any more but picked this one up due to Gibson's name and liked it a lot.
Hey, here are some free bullets! I wanted to get them to you as fast as I could, and was sure you'd want them so I didn't ask permission first, so I fired them from my gun at you. No need to thank me!
Here is the "Adam Ruins Everything" episode where he talks about fingerprints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?....
As I recall, there was a case where someone committed a crime in Spain, and an American who'd never been there was arrested for it, based solely on his fingerprints.
I'm guessing it's more like 90%. "Duh, you can smash a lock, doy doy doy!" Not what this was about at all. Even one of the comments on yours was something about needed a lot of practice, which with this technique you don't. Put some tension on the lock tap it on the side. I suppose that the headline was not nuanced enough. "Skip the picks, just tap the lock on the side".
I just wanted to say "Yeah-bo" or "THIS" or whatever the prevalent form of agreement is. I can do without most any site. If they can do without me, fine.
I am going to a site to download files, that's it. If I want files 1, 2 and 3, and they say you must take 4, 5 and 6 as well, at that point I decide whether it's worth it to me to do so.
It's weird to me. This is like getting a newspaper and having someone watch me read it, noting that my eyes didn't linger over the ad on page 7 long enough, so they aren't going to deliver the paper the next day. Not the best analogy, but something like that.

Tried on three different browsers, get a 404 "Oh Snap" that page doesn't exist, when trying to activate the Scam Block.

These Swedes aren't going to make me take a test before I can go to the bathroom, I can tell you that.

Caught in a landslide...
I've said it before. Fuck D-Link and fuck their routers. May they rot in hell.

Wow! Sounds great!
Like Tic-Tac-Toe. "X", "O", oh fuck, you win. Go again?
Wouldn't it be cool if it was turtles that programmed our simulation? Because, then, you know...

I read the title and thought that this was being touted as a good thing. "Let strangers send video and text to YOUR kids! Surprise and Delight!"
I wish they would increase it just a bit, say to 144, because sometimes I have things to say and they just don't seem to fit into 140 charac

Yeah, I read the story as "Expensive laptop is expensive."
Now if only we could stop all the goddamned Christians coming in as well. And actually, anyone really wanting to go to Disneyland.
