Of course, that'll get Tesla in trouble for building cars that cause congestion, but at the moment they're only avoiding that by putting their customers' lives at risk, so I'm kind of comfortable either way.
Highways and freeways have minimum speed limits for a good reason, and that reason is that if traffic is moving too slowly, it presents a hazard to traffic which is moving at legal speeds. You are obligated to exit the roadway if your vehicle should experience a failure. You are also obligated to exit the roadway if you plan to take a nap.
A car with nobody in control is even more fucking dangerous than one slowing down until control is regained.
I can cope with the car in front of me gradually braking to a complete halt. It's when it crashes into a lane divider and ricochets back into the road that I'm going to have problems.
the "Autopilot" is completely persuaded that it is on the correct course.
Until it can reliably be right about that, it should know for fucking certain that human oversight is required and safely bring the car to a halt if the human is not providing it.
Emergency stops for an innattentive driver would cause havoc on the roads
Controlled braking to reduce speed would however not, and it's a fuck of a lot better to cause minor disruption to other road users than to close the road entirely while police deal with a fatality.
Tesla autopilot will already disable for the duration of the trip if one exceeds 90 mph. No warning, that's it.
This is the key part that the people defending Tesla keep omitting. There's an inherent design defect that almost guarantees user errors, and blaming the user in those circumstances is (as you say) entirely disingenuous.
The information they keep about people was given to them voluntarily â" either by users themselves, or by their friends and acquaintances. And what they now know, they are free to share â" sell, give away, publicize, it is up to them
Not where I live it's not. They sell any data about me, they're breaking the law.
you can counter it to some extent as an individual if you want to
Barely. I can't stop every cunt I've ever emailed from sharing their inbox or contact list with Facebook. I can't stop every cunt with my phone number from sharing their contact list with Facebook. I can't stop every fuckwit that wants to install a personality test from sharing everything on their fucking phone with Facebook.
it's not just facebook: the whole series of inter-tubes out there is set up to to make an "opt out" on an individual company's basis kinda pointless
When I visit the IBM websites they track my activity, especially if I log in using a corporate or personal account. I understand this, I accept this, I feel it's a proportionate and sensible thing for them to do for multiple reasons.
I don't even fucking visit Facebook and they nonetheless build up masses of data about me. This is a very different scenario and I do not accept it.
Why is there so much content out there for "free"?
Because human beings are social creatures. There was more content being put online than you could literally fit into your life before the internet got commercialised.
Because, as you say, for most people you're not the customer, you're the product
Some of us decline to be Facebook's product. Next month we can back that with the law, and it's going to be just fucking awesome.
Religious idiots expecting specific things about Israel does not prevent critique of the state as a secular entity, whether its motives are driven through economic, ideological or theocratic influences.
When I criticise Israel I do so knowing that many of its citizens are not Jewish.
It's perfectly reasonable to dislike followers of the Jewish faith for their racism and child mutilation, but that's got fuck all to do with the multi-faith nation of Israel, which has plenty of non-religious reasons to despise and/or admire.
Crikey, you mean an individual human can't do everything on the planet all at once?
Fucking hell, if only he had the intelligence and business savvy to get himself access to people that know business, marketing and how to talk to Congress.
Yeah, the original submission fascinates me. He's worried about 4K content at 60fps but he's using a 1060? Drop resolution to 1080p, turn on all the graphics to make it much prettier and his videos will be much nicer to watch and also much quicker to upload.
MS Paint is awesome. Especially now it supports more than BMP outputs.
It means that I know that on any Windows PC I have the ability to capture, crop and save a screenshot. It's the graphical equivalent of knowing you'll have vi on a unix system.
Some total fuckwit posts anonymously that they shut down an entire corporate email system just to 'unsend' an email, then accuses other people of being incompetent?
Leaving aside the utter simplicity of fucking up a postfix configuration that leaves you wide open to a world of shit, these are not exactly the all-singing all-dancing email, calendar, collaboration tools that align beautifully to your user management and security systems.

Put in a course that goes into a mountain, and it'll happily fly you right into that mountain.
I broke a fully hydraulic Tornado simulator on an operational RAF base like this.
Not on purpose, I just didn't have much flight experience in ground attack aircraft when i was 14.
Stopping the car.

I used to let buses pull out ahead of me all the time. Common courtesy for other road users.
Then councils started implementing bus lanes all over the place. So fuck 'em, no bus gets in front of me if I can help it.

Even in Germany?
whether user errors are reasonably predictable

enabling full self-driving
But it's his fault for letting the car drive itself?
Nice one Tesla. Big grandiose claims that kill people that believe them.

The country's full, the more people I can piss off and make move out the better.
20 million would be a nice target.
No, it's not.

What the fuck makes you think 'Free Palestine' has anything to do with religion?
I'm an atheist and I greatly dislike Israel's illegal occupations.
It's not a fucking advertisement you ignorant twat, it's a fucking statement of fact.
They don't need to fucking advertise it, half the fucking people on the planet have already watched it.
Strange, you never access online services from outside your home?
The rest of us do.
Crikey, you mean an individual human can't do everything on the planet all at once?
Fucking hell, if only he had the intelligence and business savvy to get himself access to people that know business, marketing and how to talk to Congress.
Zuck is a programmer and has no strength on the business side.
Yeah, imagine Facebook's market capitalisation if he had business skills.
Just think, he could've created a massive multinational advertising behemoth with a double-digit percentage of the world's population as users.
He simply got extremely lucky doing what any competent programmer could do
No. He got programmers to do the work and utilised other skills to become stupendously wealthy as a result of their work.
There was luck involved, but most programmers just aren't big enough cunts to become Zuckerberg.
twitch only allows a 3Mbit stream
All my Twitch output has been 6Mbps full HD video.
I use OBS, it was just easier to get working than Shadowplay. I play at 1440p but stream at 1080p and my CPU barely notices the overhead.

It's how I talk.
I also use other common words and terms such as 'email client'.

About as good too ;)

Thanks, I needed the laugh.
