    The lords do throw out bad laws from time to time and they get nothing but stick for being undemocratic. I have yet to hear anyone come up with a better idea though.

    Except in the UK were doctors earn a very good wage, sure they don't get paid a million a year each but that's to be expected.

    Sure I prefer Bernie but it doesn't look like the Democrats are going to let him be leader.

    Trump: whilst it would be quiet entertaining to watch this idiot try and run the most powerful country on the planet, I am an environmentalist and he would do he best to wreck the environment according to what he's said so far.

  4. You're assuming that the physical laws of our universe would be the same as in the universe in which our simulation exists. The external universe could have more dimensions or completely different laws of nature (to even say physics implies a physical universe which it might not be.).

    Except he's an idiot global warming denier so what he says and does won't be harmless. I don't like Clinton but at least she's got big ideas about dealing with global warming.

    Not if it doesn't feel like it, why you got to be such a conformist.

    But that's not intelligence other than on the database designers part, that's just DB queries / fuzzy logic. Apples and oranges.

    Tut, my post was in no way a troll, everything I said is true and honest, the troll mod should be abandoned because people abuse it more often than they use it correctly it seems to me.

    If someone deleted my tunes, should I not be annoyed? DRM is horrible, I never put up with DRM on my music or video. People that use itunes say it is bloated badly designed software so why shouldn't I say that it sounds awful?

    A little checkbox on your next renewal saying "This car will be piloted by a human" will double or triple your premiums.

    Another person who doesn't understand how insurance premiums work. If your risk doesn't go up then the insurance premium won't go up. If your risk goes down because there are less accidents because there are less humans driving cars then your insurance premium could actually go down too.

    Every place that has a traffic jam, will have a bigger longer lasting traffic jam with self driving cars. I don't think there's any wiggle room left for city planners or 'car-trains' to reduce congestion. Bottle-necks are bottle-necks. And we already have gigantic car-trains, they move very slowly and are called traffic jams.

    It'd p*** me off if Apple deleted my tunes many of which are indeed favoured mixes, but of course I have backups which don't need any DRM licensing rubbish. /I don't use itunes, it sounds awful.

    Indeed, I read the title as, Apple admits it is totally incompetent at software programming. This'll probably get modded down by apple fanboys.

    " manned by professional drivers"
    Lol, no, it'll be ex-cab drivers and ex-delivery drivers who lost their jobs to self-driving vehicles. Cab drivers are bad enough when they're in the driving seat, god only knows how dangerous it'd be having one drive the car remotely.

    The less deliveries you have in an area, the less financially viable it is for the deliverer to deliver to that area. I don't like Amazon, I've even boycotted them, but I can see why they might be delivering to areas that order more.

    It's simple, if the car stinks, you don't get in it, I expect there will be a way to report such things. Smell sensors also a possibility, I'm not an expect on shit detection.
