Here is the thing: just because someone says something you don't think is right, or you disagree with, THEY ARE NOT A TROLL. Please show me that the definition of a contractor is the ability to set your own rate, you troll!
This is nonsense. If your primitive human brain can understand to follow the instruction of the dude in the orange vest so can a computer be taught to do same. It's entirely a question of building a smart enough and big enough system. There is no physical activity the 8 watt bulb you call a brain can regulate that a computer can't regulate just as well given the right code, sensors and actuators. Driving is a very low IQ skill. 85 IQ people drive. A computer can be programmed to drive just as well as any of them. Anything this low IQ will be automated.
No they don't. The Acadamy, like the sibling post says, is a social club, not science. Its membership reflects the history you are aware of. They hold an additional election for women-only to speed up the change of the academy membership in order to better reflect the current male/female ratio instead of the ratio from decades ago.
How to correctly assess DNA evidence is a different matter and certainly not without its problems in law enforcement. Nevertheless, the DNA test discovers the fact that the follicle is actually there (unless it's a rare false positive), while the stuff from this story does not.
merely having a different genetic makeup suddenly means you can be less competent.
You do realise that this is exactly what has been going on for hundreds of years. That does not make an all-women election the right thing to do, but your anger seems misdirected.
But DNA testing is using actual facts that were previously unattainable. This technique makes up stuff, that's concerning even though human witnesses are unreliable.
More importantly, many lay people assume "automatic" means "without human intervention," hence it might be more suitable to use a name that proactively implies human monitoring and intervention, such as "driver assist." Why is Tesla so committed to sticking to this term if it isn't for the incorrect aura of computer automation?
Yeah. People are not supposed to monitor the automatic gearbox at all times either, but suddenly it's so obvious that they do have to monitor the autopilot?
The thing about CAT II/III autoland is that you are doing it at a fixed location along a known and restricted path and it can only be done under certain conditions, and you know the flight crew isn't using it as a chance to crack open some beers and pregame before they hit the layover hotel bar, they are paying attention in case they need to take over or initiate a go around. Just like Tesla's autopilot.
Yeah and I'm sure everybody knows this and can therefore correctly infer the meaning in Teslas
Cruise Control in German is usually called Tempomat (though it's actually a Daimler brand name). The formal name is Geschwindigkeitsregelanlage == velocity control facility. There should be no confusion about what it does.
Fully electric? No, and they deserve all the hype they get for this. I'm just talking about the updates. Often it seems that much of the hype comes from nerds developing an interest in cars for the first time and believing that anything they encounter in Teslas must be a novelty. Lke the guy I replied to apparently thought when seeing an older Tesla model being updated. When actually much of it has been done and is well known in the automotive industry and at far larger numbers.
Every successful model in Europe goes through typically two larger updates in its life span. Tesla makes updates available in smaller pieces and gets some hype out of it, but that's not revolutionary.
They don't exist here in USA. You can get sunroofs which are small rectangles near the front of the roof, but this is the entire roof made out of glass (except the support beams). I imagine it could be really annoying on a sunny day and really awesome for kids (and adults) to watch the rain and snow.
Interesting but weird. Yeah, I know it is entirely glass except the beams. I had more or less this in my Audi A2 15 years ago and it was an option for my Mini 10 years ago. Like I said, it's commonplace.
And yeah, it can be annoying in the sun and is great otherwise. Especially for Tesla I would have thought the weight would be a problem
It may be new for Tesla, but a glass roof is an option for every other car model, at least here in Europe. TFS says nothing about any new technologies compared to those, e.g., to save weight. Their solution for sun shielding would also be interesting as insufficient shielding often dampens the fun.
It's a result from the post-war period when there really was no other choice, and nowadays free Nazi speech would simply be too annoying for no gain, and no, it would not be a gain for free speech.
A more honest way would be to admit that Germany is embarrassed by its past and so it tries to whitewash history and pretend that Hitler, and everything associated with him, never existed. What better way to do that than prohibit anyone from talking about it.
Wow, you know nothing. This was true for the majority during the early part of the cold war, but Germany has become quite exemplary in dealing with a troubled past and the country is plastered with memorials and documentation centers of a high standard. Maybe you should visit instead of talking out of your ass.
Oops, sorry about my other post, I was thinking that this belonged in the other subthread:) About the auditor in the current context, i.e., "anybody interested in evaluating a particular application can hire one of those 70,000 to perform and publish an audit." - no, not anybody can, this is bullshit. If my mother needs to evaluate a solution without help I believe she is better off getting a Lastpass account rather than trying to find the individuals capable of a proper audit of an open source solution
Who is "the auditor" here? I was talking to some random slashdot poster who claimed to have audited the keepass source code without providing any credentials or link to a result. He has no business interest at all, and as was pointed out to him this does not help 99.999..% of the people choosing a password solution. The source of the Lastpass browser extension and cli client has as much of a claim to being properly audited, though granted not the mobile apps - but do we have an unbroken chain of trust for the Keepass apps?
At some point you are going to trust someone. You are right that here are more and less smart ways to do this, but there are strong arguments for Lastpass for real-world use cases, and the other poster's claims do not help. There is no perfect solution, but Lastpass is better than none at all which is what the Keepass solution amounts to for many people, and having read the Keepass source is not a solution in itself either

... when a Slashdot story confuses acceleration from 0-60 with being the "fastest" car.
Shazam can identify music that's not being played by your device, hence must be recorded by the mic.

What @moronoxyd said in the other reply. Nothing worthwhile comes from people denying the Holocaust, and not having that does not undermine anything

Germany can not sue ...
Quite irrelevant since Germany does not sue. From TFS, "the complaint comes from the Wurzburg-based attorney Chan-jo Jun"
