Sounds all great unless the conditions change to the point the software cannot handle the situation. Then you would need manual override. Say your roads out and you want to take a dirt road to your destination. Will the googlecar know how best to traverse a partially washed out road? Or that the small tree is easy to drive over in your truck and will shave 2 hours off your time doing so? And what about two feet of snow? or that the road crew has dumped about all the snow in your culdesac in your driveway and you just need to drive over it? Or that you can move through that 2 feet of water to move to high ground during your flood. There are a ton of variables out there that I cannot see programmed in. You will need manual control.
Likely when the automated car goes without a human handler it will report the accident and all details to the police dept and its insurance company and share it via bluetooth to your automated car or your phone.
Actually most of the fighting in Iraq was from or caused by insurgents (mainly from Syria). The US presence was not seen by the majority of the people as a bad thing. Some country coming in and pouring billions of dollars into water, streets, hospitals and airports is not usually looked on badly. Any fighting you see now is just internal religious squabbles that were there before. As far as foreign wars go I feel we should handle things in the US and not be world police. That does not mean that what this woman did was not brave. And you being able to post such comments is due to people like her doing what they have done for generations. So you may see just hate, but I see a brave woman that risked her life for what she believes in, and that is probably more than most have done.
It honestly does not matter. Look at just the statistics for countries with technology as apposed to countries without. You put in technology and birthrates drop. People watching television, playing wow in their mom's basement, para gliding, jet sking, scuba diving, are not having sex they are doing something else. Put that against a guy in a dirt hut with with 10 hours a day looking at other girls in the village and your going to see a difference.
The amount of awesome in your post is amazing for slash dot. 1) wife 2) d-cup 3) using a 50. cal 4) body armor. 5) reaching between
You have reached a Nirvana few slashdotters will ever attain.
ps Tell her "thank you for all shes done for the country."
Your maths a bit skewed. Yes more people than ever are choosing to not have children. Also more people than ever are required to have only one child. But we actually have more people than ever. So the percentage is down while the amount is up. You have better medicine now, more people are living longer in the poorer countries and having more children. Child age groups that used to die are living. Adults age groups that used to die are living longer. Oddly enough the more technology a country gets the less children it has. Pushing technology out to poorer countries should help handle the growth problem without tangling with the pesky religious issues.
And if we don't like their service we should not provide them with feedback or discuss it with others to maybe change our/their viewpoint on the subject?
Does it not seem a bit weird to you that your on an online forum and complaining about people commenting in a forum?
It's a new concept with the inclusion of passwords. By password locking a cellphone somebody knowing your locking it is not under the believe your phone could be stolen like a pager which would not be secured. There are some fundamental differences in the technology that makes it still debatable that this is legal.
No I automatically think your comment is racist because 95% percent of anonymous coward comments are racist. Based on all the made up surveys I studied on anonymous cowards.
What is sexist is not one of the people here thought the coder might have been bragging. Not one person even thought the coder could be a woman. It was just instantly a guy being sexist.
Apple would have to know they are a US citizen to do that. Instead of the fact the girl stated directly " I'm from Iran,' which would obviously lead one to believe they are not a US citizen but from Iran. That is also discounting the possibility that the Apple employee may have overheard them talking about sending it to Iran as he was from Iranian decent and could have translated a Persian dialect.
It is possible but harder to prove. Going in and saying that "black guy was racist to that black guy" is a lot harder to prove than "that white guy was racist to that black guy."
NO, This is a case of a person stating "When we said 'Farsi, I'm from Iran,' " That is when the sale was refused. They said they were from an embargoed country. They did not say they were US citizens, but from Iran. Based on the data he had available the store clerk did the right thing. And it did what that law was intended to do at that time prevent the export of US goods to an embargoed country. Which coincidentally was exactly what the girls intention was to do with it. Apple has the right to refuse service if they feel the sale will break law. This person was not refused service because they felt she was Muslim, Iranian or because she was a girl. But because Apple felt she was going to break the law and they are legally allowed to refuse service for that. If you want to decry freedom you have to live with it both ways. Apple has a right to refuse service because they want too as long as it does not violate federal law.
If she wants to be such an attention whore that she brings back a news crew and presents evidence on national media about her intention to export items to a banned country than she should be looked at by the DHS. If she had gone up and said "oh I didn't realize that Iran was a banned to Ipads and went and ordered it online. I don't think anyone would want her investigated. But she made a spectacle on national news and of course she should get national even Federal attention.
"What was the apology for?"
Customer service always apologizes
"Is their online store exempt from the law?"
What law is there for refusing to serve someone based on the possibility they are going to break the law?
"Why didn't the employee confirm with their manager before refusing to serve a customer?"
Does it matter? He over heard them attempting to break the law.
"When did stores become export inspection points?"
When the government made it against the law to sell to someone knowingly exporting to a banned country.
"When did buying an item in a store signify you were smuggling it out of the country?"
When your over heard telling someone that you are planning on sending the Ipad to another country that that technology is a banned export too.
"If the person tries to leave the country with the device, it is up to the wonderfully efficient TSA"
Actually its up to Customs.
In the state of Georgia its is a right to refuse service to anyone as long as it does not violate federal law. In this case the person was not rejected based on race but on intent to export to controlled country. There is nothing the Apple store employee did wrong. The girl just wanted to get her 15 mins of fame for trying to violate US export law.
" Apple could get in trouble for selling her the iPad... I didn't know Apple was in the business of people ownership."
Obviously you haven't been to China recently.
An Iranian decent person was racist to a Iranian decent person that they over heard talking to another Iranian descent person about violating US export laws?
Actually I see this as preventing the casual phone check by a police officer. It becomes a locked container and they then legally have to go to more extremes to open it. In some cases a warrant.

It's DC. The price of housing forces you to have a kitchen/livingroom/closet.
Foresee? You obviously have not been anywhere near SYFY.

Not the same France. The one the helped the USA was before the revolution. The one your talking about beheaded all the ones that helped save the USA.

Doesn't change a thing about McDonald's to me. Just makes me continue to have very opinionated and exaggerated views of the French.
I believe it does when she admits to saying "we said 'Farsi, I'm from Iran,'.

They are also able to refuse service if they wish to.

I can see that. But again a number of revolvers come with removable chambers. First one that comes to mind is the Ruger Blackhawk.
