I don't get this. The dish problem is IMO the home automation problem with the best existing solution. It's called a dishwasher and bit bit of kitchen organisation (like have the dishwasher below and next to the cabinets with the dishes).
Surely the robot problem looking for a solution is the part of laundry that comes after the washing machine? And maybe windows, depending on the home
Since the average American household consumes 901 KWh per month, each Bitcoin transfer represents enough energy to run a comfortable house, and everything in it, for nearly a week.
Would be 3-5 weeks for other western countries who actually insulate their houses, use modern appliances and lighting.
I had to read this number in TFS twice. Indeed, the average European household uses approx 330 kWh per month.
Being a Trump supporter does not make one a nazi, just a moron, but some Trump supporters are nazis and it seems that the radical right has latched onto Trump, so whether these are two sides of the same coin depends on how you meant it
I'm amazed about the willingness of people to believe fake news such as global warming. Scientists have yet to present credible evidence that humans are causing global warming. The propagandists continue to promote their message that humans are responsible, but without hard evidence, we shouldn't believe that humans are causing the Earth to get warmer. There may well be legitimate reasons to prepare for possible dosasters, especially in an area that experiences powerful typhoons. But that isn't a reason to invoke the myth that humans are causing global warming.
You are the only one to invoke it, there is not a single word about human causes in TFA and it's entirely irrelevant in its context.
You could have mentioned something like "I know it doesn't directly have much to do with the above, but you should consider...". And it may well have been worth considering for some reason. But as it was you jumped into an ongoing thing stating something that really was quite disconnected, and it was a misunderstanding from there. Don't blame just me
OK, I figured that your post must have something to do with the ongoing discussion, but it you only wanted to mention that a car has accelerometers, then yeah, that is correct.
Well ok, but if the ESP needs and uses those sensors then they are part of the ESP, regardless of whether other systems use them as well. Regarding the steering, I suppose you can have the angle sensor in the steering wheel, that would be simpler than in the wheels themselves. Any way you cut it, we are already way beyond 2 accelerometers under the driver seat. It's not a simple system but has a very limited range of application, as I already wrote. Yet it is still worlds away from knowing what anything means, and much more so for the phone accel sensors that were the starting point of this little discussion. As always in these discussions I am wondering what the self-perception of these people might be like, who believe that their sensory system isn't way more complex than 2 cameras and 2 mics on a swivel stick plus 2 accel sensors.
I can't imagine that the part about 2 accelerometers under the seat is true because an ESC/P needs to know at least the grip available on each of the wheels (hence wheel speed sensors), the angle of the front wheels compared to travel direction of car (wheel angle sensors), and driver input (wheering wheel turn speed sensor). The Wikipedia page lists even more. If you know how 2 accel sensors under the seat are enough for the system to know how much to brake or accelerate each of the 4 wheels, I would like to know.
I was saved once by the ESP of my Mini Cooper S in an unexpectedly tight and damp highway off ramp
*loss of grip (and BTW an ESP more complex than 2 accelerometers and has a very narrow range of application, though it is very good at doing what it is doing)
Yeah, your app can calculate acceleration from the sensor values and the ESP can detect slip (and indeed is better than the average human driver in correcting lots of grip), but you know very well that your brain makes so many more connections and deductions from the same data.
Multiple redundancy systems are not there for the tires or the brakes or the seat belts.
Why multiple redundancy be necessary for a self-driving system that can simply "bing bing bing" and demand the human "driver" take over?
Why multiple redundancy be necessary for a system that can simply pull to the side of the road, as a human would if they were to have an emergency?
This guy sounds like he comes from the defense industry. Multiple redundancy is nice in an attack helicopter that is 45 minutes behind enemy lines, but not necessary to take me 3 miles to work.
Actually, cars have redundant dual-circuit brakes and tires have various failsafe modes. Seat belts are obviously a different class of system. If you have to ask why "bing-bing-bing" is not enough I suggest to ride on the passenger seat and read a book for hours, and try to simulate taking over when the driver randomly makes a bing sound.
According to TFS there are 43 million Americans "depending" on food stamps, I can only hope for you guys that they aren't all so poor that they can't afford a smartphone that you can pick up used any time for a few bucks.

Is it true or an urban myth that ovens in the US grew to keep up with the turkeys?
For tabs: Hamburger > Customize > Density > Compact
Claiming "I have a friend....trust me on this" instills so much trust, doesn't it?
AFAICT he did not ask for trust and did not say "I have a friend....trust me on this"

Facebook has other uses for nude pics, it's not just about the danger of a leak.
They should allow the potential victim to upload the hash, and not the image.
We can't even get a judge to understand what a hash is, you expect the average Facebook mouth-breather to know what the fuck you're talking about?
They obviously wouldn't have to deal with the technical details and therefore wouldn't have to know
And actually I should have said class struggle, but I was not thinking when first replying
I meant inevitable as a part of socioeconomic reality

Class warfare is inevitable, he is not "using" it
Right, George Soros, the marxist revolutionary. You have got to be kidding me
This is also irrelevant as the only thing that matters here are the locally increased flooding events, regardless of the reasons

What level am I, GM?
On a different level of technology than what can be built into cars.

GM is risk averse - Musk is not. If you don't take risks you don't advance.
When buying a car, prefer risk-averse.
It can detect them but has no concept of what they might mean. But you knew that (I hope)
