What the US Can Learn From Canada's Internet Policy

One good lawsuit would give Zoosk some motivation to cut the crap.

Yeah, but every time you engage the manual mode, your insurance company will ding you 500 quatloos.

The continued collapse of the middle class will mean fewer and fewer will own cars outright... the self-driving aspect means you can tell a car to pick you up and take you to destination X, maybe with less hassle and delay than with present-day cabs, for those few occasions you really need one. Less car ownership means less revenues to the state, which means they'll REALLY have to jack up the fees to make up for it. Electric and hybrid cars have already given states fits because of less fuel taxes paid, and now they're trying to come up with per-mile-driven schemes.

why would anyone pay the fine?

If you're a student, guess what? The university can suspend your grades and privileges till you cough it up.

Like how much should I have paid for a movie when it was just released or how much should I be paying for it now, 20 years later.

Check out the $1 videos at any garage sale.

Sorry, the "red scanner" was Gort, also from Day the Earth Stood Still. At least Larson watched movies...

I agree. The writing was terrible... total hack job. There was a scene in one episode (second season?) where the two space jockeys from Galactica were showing off their math skills on a computer to a journalist on Earth. It was totally ripped off of Day the Earth Stood Still. And that robot dog and the kid --- agh!! And the cylons with the red LED scanner, just like that Knight Rider car thing (and Gort... hmmm).

Not to mention Automan and Manimal :(

In the US, it was reported that pro-Russia rebels immediately surrounded the crash area and actively interfered with the debris and prevented investigators from entering the scene. If that's true, that's says a lot about the guilty parties.

It doesn't exclude me from being a libertarian. I'm just not one. Before you rub your hands in glee at the thought of robots taking over people's occupations, please create decent (and by decent I mean not half-assed) social programs so displaced workers don't starve/lose their homes FIRST.

No, I'm far from Libertarian now, I'm a progressive crank who thinks robots will eventually be the answer to everything. When I see a headline that says "beyond a robot's reach," I think, "Oh, really?"
You could make a robot competent for the job, but it would be much more expensive than a person. That won't always be true however. That's my point.

Human window washers must be cheaper than self-cleaning glass or robots. For now.

Heavens to Betsy!

What the carmaker says or doesn't say is virtually irrelevant. The mere possession of customer data means somewhere along the line it will leak, whether intentionally, though incompetence, accident, change of corporate heart, outside malice or other reasons.
