Hi. I work for an insurer. We cannot wait for driverless cars. Sure, there will be some difficult accidents and difficult litigation, especially initially, but that will be nothing compared to getting rid of the rear-end texting shunts, SMIDSY collisions, running red lights, and all the stupid-ass things that motorists already do that cost us money. Bring it on.

Rape statistics are not hard to find. Seriously, it is not feminism's job to rehash every single moron on the interwebs that can manage to smash out the words [citation needed].

Yes, but then when you get audited and they ask "and how did you pay for your five-bed condo in NYC?" you'd better have an answer that will stand up...

Not even wrong.

Which might be a credible argument if these rockets had any sort of aiming capability whatsoever.

Do your own fucking Googling. Seriously, feminism is not here to hold your lazy little hand.

These are short range rockets with no aiming system. Therefore you're not really adding anything.

Depends. If the rocket is only being intercepted after the propulsion stage then his criticism is perfectly sensible.

You are correct. Another is Argentina, which many older British English speakers will refer to as "the Argentine".

The point that is being missed on most sides is that the subjects of the story are not the issue, it is an unknown commenter on the blog article.

You're probably right. They're moving in this direction a bit with the introduction comments, which I have found invaluable at times. Duolingo is also effective because it gamifies learning, producing tiny chunks and repeating them over and over.

The theory is that you are being taught as a child learns - we don't go round telling toddlers, no, Johhny, that's the dative case, not the genitive case, you silly little sausage. We just correct them by example.

In the UK, you can take the plate number and make a report of careless driving to the police. Although they almost certainly won't prosecute with no evidence, they will speak to the driver and frankly for many people just having a cop knock on the door is sobering enough. In my experience it's never worth attempting to deal with it on the scene; people aren't willing to admit they're wrong, ever.

My problem with it is that most of the time range rate with respect to a moving vehicle isn't of interest, because the driver of that vehicle is controlling his position with respect to you and can manoeuvre easily. The only time it is of interest is when it crosses the boundary to "too late to act", by which point, it is in fact too late to react. I really struggle to see what I would do differently based on the information this thing would give me.

Yes, he did, but at the same time none of those actions show any sort of planning process. Essentially the information he found was just fuel for his fantasies. Of course you're right, there is going to be a grey area between enthusiastic fantasy and clear intent to act, but this case doesn't seem to have approached this zone.
