Yes, a jaywalker causes traffic to stop. Oddlly enough, at least in most of the USA, that's the law now.
Well jaywalking is technically legal here in Toronto. (http://metronews.ca/news/toronto/786225/toronto-jaywalking-rules-not-so-straightforward-says-activist/). But impeding traffic is against the law and charges are never laid in those deaths. Hell, you get a $110 fine for killing cyclist with the door prize (http://cycleto.ca/clipping/deadly-door-prize-driver-faces-110-fine-death-cyclist).
If it's illegal to cross a double-yellow
No double yellows in this city. You must be thinking country roads.
If your car, and all the other autonomous vehicles
I'm one of those people who brings up these situations as I really do want answers to the many scenarios. My favourite scenario is when i'm a jaywalking pedestrian. Do I now have the power to stop all cars by simply walking into the street?
My new scenario is garbage night in the city on two lane streets (one each way). Currently I have to go around the garbage truck into on-coming traffic when it is safe to do so. Will the self-driving car sit behind the garbage truck as it goes from house-to-house, business-to-business?
It looks like we are mainly talking about highway driving right now as opposed to city. Though i'm still interested in a highway scenarios where the vehicle is in a lane that no longer continues and becomes and off-ramp lane. There are several of these on the 400 series highways in Toronto that cause traffic backups. What is the decision for such a scenario when cars are fast moving, bumper to bumper, and nobody is letting anybody else in? Will the vehicle take the off-ramp, stop, or cut somebody off?
Once you know the decision trees for these scenarios, how will it affect your decisions as non-self-driving driver?
people bitch about Google Glass. Yet people don't whine about dash cams or cameras in cell phones?
A fundamental difference is that the CCTV is over there while google glass and surveillance man are right in your face.
The person buying Google Glass isn't being videoed, so he doesn't have an incentive to not have it
When the person being videoed becomes hostile, punches you in the face, and breaks your new google glasses, you may rethink purchasing another pair. I suspect that calling in an assault to the police would get you laughed at and told not to be an asshole next time.
The problem people are the same people who couldn't handle the switch from a bank passbook to mailed statements to online banking. A full screen start menu just breaks something in their head. Remote desktop would just kill them.
The money machine would rather have entrepreneurs fund unsuccessful ideas and purchase the good ones just as they become rising stars.
The latest dumping of costs from the money machine comes from Air Canada's new airline that will have flight attendants pay for their own training costs. http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/blogs/insight/air-canada-rouge-defends-employee-paid-disney-training-202822545.html
As I said above, what if it's outside a public park washroom and you are videotaping 10 year olds going in and out. Technically you are outside in a public place, but its not socially acceptable.
You're right, but there are certain things that cross the line like standing outside the girls washroom at the park and video taping everybody going in and out. You're in a public place taping, but its not socially acceptable. Especially if its 10 year olds going in and out.
You are correct in that we do not need to be experts in a certain field in order to comment on basic facts. Im betting he's not a fecal scientist, but is able to safely suggest to others that they shouldn't eat fecal matter.
I think he believes that, like guns, pharmaceuticals shouldn't be restricted. We should be able to buy any pharmaceutical from 7-11. Just because some people are irresponsible with them doesn't mean we should restrict access to pharmaceuticals.
I don't think most people have thought through the what would actually happen if TV went a la carte. The only stations that would survive are the ones that get the most subscriptions (money), not necessarily the same as those with the best content. It would be a major shakeup far more reaching then just content providers and broadcasters.
I took the dive and cancelled my TV subscription years ago. The one thing that I miss is live sports, particularly my hometown NHL team. Im quite certain that those sports teams in my hometown that rely on TV funding would fold with a la carte TV funding as they can't even sell out the seats.
There's a plethora of software which can't integrate at all with the Metro
Is there a piece of software which works on Window 7 but won't work on Windows 8? SAS 9.3 is currently the only one I know of and it has nothing to do with the start screen or Windows 8 apps. If the application is not a "Metro App" then it will create a shortcut do the desktop version. Whats not to get?
How did you ever manage to tell the difference between a spreadsheet and a word processor? Or do they just freak you out?
I used to follow the site illegalsigns.ca until its demise a year or two ago. They quite frequently crowdsourced FOIA requests until somebody in the City department decided they were frivolous. A decent article on what took place: http://torontoist.com/2008/04/no_stonewalling/.
Most of the information I put on my facebook account is noise. I didn't really attend 10 different universities, speak 15 different languages, or was born in that other country.
The only people that care about this are marketers. But even then, does it matter if the account is real or not? I haven't seen any good evidence that social marketing can directly relate to in-store or online purchases. Its all a scam.

When driving in the Canadian wilderness you learn one rule. If its a small animal you hit it, if its a deer or moose you swerve.
If its my decision, I swerve out of the way of the oncoming car.

The trolls fuel the fire and keep people going back. This increases pageviews and ad revenue.
Also, 1/3 of humans with Hepatitis B live in China. That creates problems for donation.

I cheered for Ben Johnson until they caught him. Bolt is now the champ in my book, unless they catch him or someone else beats his time.
Perhaps an employee or even the owner is being given a handful of cash to make sure the get the seat when one is cancelled.
Or National Geographic.
Another one just got fired yesterday!

And yet walking around naked will get you thrown in jail.

If big data makes marketing cheaper, then that savings will eventually (though not immediately) make its way to joe sixpack.
How would you explain this trickle down economics in relation to the billions in cash that Apple has? Is it just hard for cash to trickle down?

The price of software in Australia is ridiculous and they can't justify it.

Imaging thousands of workstations and not using a KMS server? Sounds like you are doing it wrong.

If those guys were "darkskin" I'd hate to see your definition of a hot white chick. I'm having visions of a day old dead goth girl.
