I'll be impressed when they build a product capable of infringing on its own human rights.

I realize that they have to make money, but I find the sponsor logos on their jackets rather tacky.
I guess you won't like Carlsen's new television advertisement for adult incontinence diapers: "For an impenetrable defense."
It's been more than fifteen years since Deep Blue beat Kasparov. Certainly humans don't stand a chance against modern chess software and hardware.
Nonsense. As Kurt Russell demonstrated in The Thing, it is possible for even a very bad player to absolutely destroy a seemingly unbeatable chess computer, as long as you're drunk enough to quell any tendency toward impulse control.
HELLO! GLADYS? I'M ON THE PLANE! I CAN SEE CLOUDS! ONE LOOKS LIKE A RUTABAGA! DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS ANYTHING? SO HOW WAS YOUR DAY? WAIT SOMEONE NEXT TO ME IS TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION. EXCUSE ME CAN'T YOU SEE I'M ON THE PHONE? HOW RUDE!

People are really bad at understanding statistics.
The masses will believe that electric cars are dangerously subject to spontaneous burning as a result of this press coverage, despite the extraordinarily solid safety record of the Tesla cars.
This is (to me) substantially similar to those people who frequently call violent crime a "growing problem" and probably comes from the same lazy, sensationalist reporters.
I understand statistics perfectly well. Three out of three stories I've read about car explosions have involved Teslas. That's a 100% detonation rate! Who runs this company, Al Qaeda?
how many Priuses catch fire in wrecks
As any Prius owner will be happy to inform you, Priuses don't catch fire unless the owner has purchased a sufficient number of carbon credits to compensate for the fire's environmental impact.
"One minute you're up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley." - Louis Winthorpe III
My kid's so dumb, even when I owned Bentley, they still didn't admit him.
Genghis Khan existed. Jesus not.
There is strong evidence that Jesus existed. He may not have been divine, but he was almost certainly a real person.
Imagine if Jesus had hooked Genghis up with his breakthrough water-walking technology. Khan could have taken over the entire world. 100% of the earth's population would be related to him, rather than 10% of Asia or whatever it is. You couldn't ask a girl out without then discovering she's some distant relative. Earth would become Planet Redneck.
This memory (dance competition) will be lost now, because it was not recorded.
You think you have it bad, consider all those camera-less sad sacks who existed before the 19th century, who could never record any memories at all. I mean, I assume they couldn't. I guess nobody will ever know for sure.
I suppose a lot of people deal with tragedy through humor, but I sure wouldn't want to be a surviving family member and read some of the comments posted so far.
Seriously, it amazes me how people can fail to understand the gravity of this kind of situation.
I think the singular rule that stopped hijackings of substantial significance was enacted far later than the other provisions that represent a significant step backwards for freedom.
What stopped hijackings is the fact that the 9/11 hijackers crashed their planes.
The danger is in who gets to define what constitutes reckless driving
That's another issue from what makes car insurance different from health insurance. I would agree that one problem with this scheme is that someone might be an aggressive but safe driver, whereas someone else might drive passively but still get into a lot of accidents. As for basing insurance rates on what kind of car you drive, they already do that. Some cars get into more accidents than others because of the kind of people who buy them (eg, corvette drivers are more likely go out in a fiery blaze of glory than drivers of chrysler pacificas). I'd be surprised if they don't also use your credit score, assuming that's legal.
Now extend this logic to health care. Why is it okay to preach universal health-care and group insurance where low-risk cover the bill for high-risk, but the same isn't true for auto insurance? It's a slippery slope!
Presumably the insurance industry will argue that you can decide not to drag race through a school zone whilst huffing shoe polish, but you can't decide not to get cancer, unless you can (by not smoking), in which case your insurance does go down (relative to smokers).
When was the last time you actually counted as high as 507? I'm not talking about counting to 100 five times and then another seven, but actually counting each number from 1 to 507?
Seems like it would take a while. How many numbers is that, exactly?
