Yes. He did his actions in blind rage at the spur of the moment. They did their actions with cold calculation, over years, despite numerous and various warnings against their actions.

At which point it collapsed into a state where it has been released, but fails to be able to do anything useful.

You trust it on a virtual machine, on a honey pot host, in a virtual network, that is disconnected from any other system...

I'm sorry, I don't see how a discussion of the fiat money system and debt is Offtopic? The main reason we have to work as hard as we do is we are paying back debts that can never be repaid to companies who can magically create money out of thin air. There is a whole systemic problem on top of that, but in the end most of us work for money which is needed to allow us to live pleasant lives. (And oddly enough to pay taxes to the government, who, if they didn't outsource it, could print their own money.)

The fiat money system at work.. Most people have more debt then assets because tautology.

I wasn't trying to act like an expert.. I was trying to ask a question... You know, to correct for the fact that I only briefly skimmed the article, and because migratory birds are not in any way part of my day to day job.

So if I read this right, while they are in the presence of electromagnetic fields they can't orient themselves via their internal compass, but the moment they leave that field they regain their orientation. So all they have to do is fly in any direction, and they will eventually get oriented. I'm not sure I see how big a problem this is. It would be unusual for them to experience it in nature, but it seems like something they would naturally recover from.
Are their any studies that tell us that large numbers of migratory birds are flying the wrong direction? (as opposed to saying that they might, if they are constantly in an abnormal electromagnetic field)

Those videos reminded me so much of the various places I've traveled... Those aren't the only places where the normal rules don't seem to apply.

This. Unless laws are changed, I figure it would do it as an economic question:

1. Cliff/Wall No one left who can sue.
2. Another autonomous vehicle (their owners already signed away their right to sue)
3. Trucks or Large vehicle (Less damage/likelihood of unwaivered driver getting injured, more likely to have agreements with insurance companies)
4. Single Pedestrian / Bicycle / Very Small Vehicle (see #1)
5. All other vehicles depending on # of passengers * cost of vehicle. (Lower cost vehicles are less likely to contain people with good lawyers)

But realistically they will just have the driver sign something that says they are ultimately responsible for any action the car takes. Then 0.01 seconds before an unavoidable accident it releases control to the driver, making them actually responsible. That way the legal shit-storm would be pushed back to the people at the scene. Especially because the car manufacturer/programmers would have the paperwork and teams of highly trained lawyers who do just that.

So... There didn't actually need to be a crash, but heuristics on this particular type of crash are sorely lacking.......

This is a major reason why I don't have a smaller vehicle. I wish I did, but keeping 2 vehicles insured for 1 person doesn't make sense economically.

It would be nice if they fixed the incentives to promote using the correct vehicle for the correct job.

Next on YouTube:
"The autonomous car's video, audio and 3D representations of exactly what happened as the fire crews pulled the keys from AC's cold dead hands, following an accident caused by human error. The passengers of the autonomous car all escaped unscathed."

I want to see an XKCD on this :D

I thought you were being serious the first time!.... I've seen too many cases of "Do this." And only finding out later that was meant as an easier first step to something completely different and actually unrelated in any way.

And still they end up deep in debt, working hard and barely making ends meet, while the rich child "suffering from" affluenza still gets to live a life of relative luxury... It's a beauty of a world, no?
