If I need full focus while it drives myself (or even half the focus of when I'm driving), I better get paid as much as a pilot.

If it isn't fully autonomous, with a long and obvious ramp-up to my control (for example pulling over to the shoulder), the tech is worthless.

They'll probably act like drivers at 1:30am January 1st. I was designated driver for a New Year's Eve party once, and it was one of the most pleasant driving experiences of my life. EVERYBODY obeyed all laws, and drove cautiously.

I've been driving 17 years and have had two fender benders, one was my fault (within my first 100 hours of driving, I got a lot more cautious after that), the other was rear ended on an entrance ramp that often backs up, and the person behind me wasn't paying attention (I was at a dead stop in traffic and they hit me).

I'm not saying I'm a stellar driver, but I think I'm average, if these cars are driving a lot, the numbers seem reasonable (I drive 15-20 thousand miles a year, I've had one not my fault accident in 17 years, and one that was mine).

What we don't know is the criteria for switching to Human control, the two autonomous accidents may have been easily avoidable, and all non-easy driving may have been under human control. Lack of data makes speculation almost useless.

Didn't it come out recently that they did have WMDs.,and the reports were burried because they were made in America.?

Not that I would consideassderyconsiderid similar in any way.

Can a system hibernate without swap?

I'd like to see a desktop mode for swap, that only uses it for hibernate, and when crashing is the other option.

Without a link to see what you mean, it sounds to me like English may be your second language and you misunderstood the intent of a statement.

If the statement was along the lines of (and this is how I parse what you imply was said) "Extremists include veterans, Christians, Survivalists, etc. etc.", it would assume they are saying that it could be anybody, and don't just think, oh that guy's not an extremist, he's just a Christian.

When more people stop cancelling service, I expect rates to go up. They're going to target $100/house average I suspect.

Your rates are similar to here, if I had phone it'd be around $60, and getting cable would be another $60, though I think there's a $30 cable package now with a few channels and the ability to add premium ones. almost al la cart.

Except I think I read about hidden compartment builders being targetted legally, which would mean they have fifth amendment protection, and don't need to say anything.

I suspect Internet will become more expensive. Currently they're trying to tack on Internet to cable, extra money from existing customers. Soon it will be reverse.

My Internet is $40/month, it was supposed to go up in February, but they didn't increase it after my intro rate. Adding cable would have be at almost $100, I expect in a year that the prices will be reversed ($60 Internet, $40 cable)

We'd need some form of extreme socialism to do that (support such an old population).

And it is probably why pirated software are the main attack vector. Can't be scanned

Probably because the customers don't want keygens to flag unless there's an actual Trojan?

Modern? the stock market is far less gambling than it was in the 1600's.

I don't know, when I was house shopping int he early 2000's, it was pretty clear that lower rates caused massive price increases (95-2000 era), rents remain stable (or more tied to income), as lone as incomes remain steady, houses are somewhat protected from price drops (which is why it took other economic drag to trigger the '08 crash) by virtue of peoples' payments still matching rents, and the cost to leave gets high.

Housing prices loosely match the amount of house you can buy with rent * .8 on a 10% down mortgage (if they go below that investors rent them, if they go higher, landlords sell them and increase supply).

If the implication is that we should have metal backed currencies, I think this addresses the issue there:
