So basically you're saying you didn't understand the basic premise or the article.
I can easily navigate home and find a pizza shop normally too, but when I want a navigation system to get home I'm often somewhere where I DON'T know the best route. I might be able to drive back, but if it's a multi-leg trip or through areas without 2-way streets then it doesn't help. Nav systems for normal driving are most useful for when they can route around traffic, since they know more than I can in that situation. Which of the three routes should I take to get home? A couple clicks on the nav system and I'm on my way.
Generally the FCC has to reply to all unique letters, so the boilerplate "click here to email the FCC" forms all count as one that they have to reply to.
Well the thumbnail shows a "robot" - the type you might see in a 1960's sitcom. There's nothing specifically robotic about anything in this apart from that image.
There could be a use as a basic 3D printer, though it seems like it'd be a bit limited.
Because making programs easier to use (such as by making the most commonly used function a single large key rather than a multi-key combo) makes them more accessible to all people including people with disabilities.
Wait until you learn the space bar will scroll down the page! You could totally lose your place if you were typing and then clicked somewhere out and pressed spacebar! That's totally not what you wanted at the exact moment.
But wait, it gets worse! Have you ever tried to type a capital W and pressed ctrl instead of shift? It's dangerous and unintuitive and you can lose all your work with just a couple millimeters difference. The W key isn't for navigation, it's for typing words with Ws in them. It's like pressing the alarm key instead of the trunk button on your keys!
This outrage must be addressed immediately! I suggest we ban all keyboard shortcuts so clumsy people don't accidentally do something stupid.
That's a bit cumbersome for the most used feature. I don't see why the most used function of a program should be assigned to an awkward key combo just so some clumsy people don't have to worry about a problem that doesn't actually exist.
If you're in a text area then the browser acts like a text editor and removes a character. Firefox and Opera at least will retain the message if you click backspace outside the text area and go forward again.
Since back is the most commonly used button, it makes sense to have an easily accessible button on the keyboard.
Sounds more like it's just weak AI. It's easy to code an NPC to "if see_crash then gasp_mode = true", but canned responses and a lack of interactions can make them feel shallow
Even if you jammed the LIDAR, visual (or thermal) cameras could detect the cars moving. It's non-car objects like children or tree branches that are more difficult.
But computers can have multiple input sources and be monitoring all (potential) blind spots at once. Humans only have the forward facing eyes. Of course it remains to be seen if the software can handle the inputs to make good driving decisions, but that's not an impossible challenge.
A lot of ISPs seem to do that because they want to charge you a different price than the guy a street over without letting him know.
Verizon makes you enter information down to the apartment number before listing prices, and even then it's all the bundles.
Comcast shows subscribers a different homepage that doesn't have all the new deals just to make it a little more difficult.
Well there's a history of ignoring US laws/treaties when needed, widespread and obvious corruption, and they speak some weird language with a bunch of symbols.
"Placing control of your mission-critical infrastructure in the hands of others" is great when you're a small business and the "others" are people that maintain servers for a living and have datacenter resources. For some companies having in-house servers is useful, especially if they have the staff to maintain them. For the companies with just email and a website, maybe an FTP too, they don't need the hassle of setting up servers and keeping them updated and making sure they have reliable power/internet servic and keeping spare parts around in case something fails.
It's great to be able to "DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT" when something fails, but not so great when that something is "go out and buy a new server because of a gutter getting clogged".

Intelligence is useless if you can't search for useful information within it. Search and intelligence go hand in hand.

Just write it off at MIT hype.
The contract also required it to be commented. Unfortunately the expert only got part way though that before reaching the deadline.
Of course not! We're trusting blogs that cite reddit comments. Since the comment got "Reddit gold" it must be trustworthy.
That's probably because of the fancy javascript stuff slashdot uses. For normal forms the data is still there.
But like you said, pressing the back button also results in loss of data, so should we also remove that because people might accidentally click it?

That's a pretty standard mapping. Makes sense - BACK/BACKspace

What ever will Samsung do if they aren't allowed to sell their Galaxy S2 anymore? Their customers will have no choice but to get the latest model.

No, China - as funny as it is to point to equivalences with the US, it really doesn't compare to China
Well there's a history of ignoring US laws/treaties when needed, widespread and obvious corruption, and they speak some weird language with a bunch of symbols.
Well we can probably assume that they meant the equivalent weight on the surface of Earth, since otherwise it would be a meaningless number.
Pretty sure Google DOES do this, but it's through Google Voice which interacts with the SMS network more.

Text messages cost money on a lot of plans. Data is much cheaper.
Maybe for some, but probably 90%+ was the cost issue since the PS4 was a cheaper and more powerful alternative.
