My colleagues sitting in the same office range in age from 22 to 63. Apart from a strangely consistent interest in photography there's almost no overlap in hobbies, family, work/life balance, etc.
Some have kids at school. Some are planning a family. Some have kids at university. Some don't have kids. Some are single. Some get to work at 7.30am and some work until 8pm. Some get to work at 10am and some go home at 3pm. One is an avid cyclist, one sings in a choir, one manages his local church, one runs his son's football team, one goes away to a European destination almost every weekend, one's doing a distance learning degree.
We all work together, collaborate, socialise within the office, go out for dinner together every few weeks, focus on improving the team, the business, the shareholder value.
Age and outside-of-work-culture just don't really come into it.
I have pulled into a military convoy in the past. I've walked up to German soldiers while their convoy was stopped and photographed them before. They pulled out an anti-tank weapon, pointed it at me and then posed for the photograph. I've been in a military convoy before.
I haven't seen anybody rammed off the road because I haven't done any of these things in Norfolk (America) and Quantico, where apparently US soldiers are taught to be brain dead fuckwits that have no fucking regard for the people around them.
I will for a child, a distressed pedestrian, or some old person or something like that though. I am not a monster, just an asshole.
Oh, so you knew the age of everybody in the car you knocked off the road? You fucking hero. I hope you got a medal.
That's nice, and thank you for sharing. I hope your in-depth understanding of your familial history gives you warm fuzzy feelings deep inside.
I think however it's clear that I know more about African and European history than you do though, given you've completely ignored the evidence I presented that you were talking complete and total nonsense.
Well that's not terribly hard, especially if you're not looking to enter the housing market.
Shit, I know people on £30k/year with that level of disposable income. You'd be amazed how cheap life can get, especially when you're sharing a lot of costs.
his article needs taken down now, It is not factual, and the patent is for available credit, not bank account balance. there is a huie difference in both availability and ethics.
A fucking shiny toy manufacturer wants to find out your available credit and use it to target ways of getting you to part with it, and you think that's substantively from using your bank balance?
Getting diagnosed was excellent for me. It hadn't occurred to me that I might have Aspergers until I went through the testing, but it suddenly explained a tremendous amount about my life.
It also means that I no longer try and act like other people. That takes a lot of pressure off me, because I can't do some of the things that others take for granted. So instead I live life my way, not the way friends and family seem to think I should. Far far happier as a result.
I've avoided contact more than once by coming to an emergency halt safely with distance to spare, looking in the mirror, realising the car behind isn't going to make it and moving forward into that spare space to give it to the guy behind.
I don't do that at junctions though, and I'm not sure how an autonomous vehicle would be able to reliably judge that a car isn't going to stop in time sufficiently accurately to then calculate the avoidance action needed, the safety of that avoidance action and the likelihood of it avoiding an accident.
Basically by the time it's clear that the accident is going to happen it's too late to accelerate away from it.
My insurance premium is £350/year. Cut it to zero and you're still going to struggle to cover the cost of the sensors, the software and the maintenance of the autonomous system.
Can't be, this was announced and has been known for at least a couple of months already.
It's why I'm waiting another six months or so before deciding whether to take the free upgrade or not. Hopefully by then it'll have gone catastrophically wrong and they'll have given users some control back, or the after-market options will exist and I'll know what I need to do to cripple the automatic update.

Yeah, jeans aren't acceptable here. I combine a proper shirt with black jeans and competence, and get away with it.
What about them? Headgear indoors is bad form.
Claim some religious exemption for your headgear and don't be surprised if I claim religious exemption for my lack of trousers.
So where a skirt, not khakis.
Take a second pair of shoes. You can change your shoes you know?
If you have 1000 tabs open then you definitely need to learn how to use a computer.
Illegal immoral and entirely unenforceable stuff. Why not sign, none of it will hold up in court anyway.

Well done. You're a prime example of why the US army keeps fucking up its ability to accomplish missions abroad.
I'm over 40 and I enjoy working with motivated intelligent self-starters that are willing to get things done.
I'd hope to find that culture at Google. What does age have to do with it?
No, AC did not misread. You've just chosen to completely fucking ignore history in favour of a racial attack on white people.
Nice try picking fucking Finland but consider how much of Europe was passed to get to the UK from Africa: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/b...
Someone intelligent enough to give Google a search term with more than one word.
However, I am not going to disobey an order to protect you from your own stupidity. I can, and will, run your ass off the road.
No, you're just going to risk killing someone instead. You stupid cunt.
Disobey the order. You took an oath to protect the American people, not fucking kill them.
38 deaths in 7 years suggest it's probably best to avoid the risk: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/maga...
My problem is that I'm very efficient. I don't burn 100W.
Anything that hooks me up to power something else without requiring my attention is worth exploring.
0.0000025% of the US population were on the winning team. I'd say that's almost no white people.
I see that you're living up to the description I gave you, by failing miserably to have any rationale or logic to your complete nonsense.
But don't go getting Cedric involved, he gets enough of my email already.
Thanks for telling people that haven't worked for credit card companies or banks what a credit line is. I already knew.
Now try telling us why it's so ethically different a financial attribute on which to base advertising than a bank balance.

Market forces are going to do fuck all.
it makes game compatibility a matter of "Does it run on my console?"
The games I want to play don't run on your console.
Well, I think forced updates is it.
