The method is new. Most (all?) current systems use the lane departure warning system and steering wheel input to determine if the driver is drowsy, but they do not put a camera on the driver themselves. The current system on my Ford doesn't seem to work very well.
Because building for my family's future is one of my primary motivators. I'm not just in it for myself. If I die I want my kids to receive the same education they would if I were still alive. The government already takes half of what I earn, and I will do everything legally possible to give them nothing more when I die.
Maybe the real issue is that your goverment isn't actually providing education for your own children. Your dependency on being able to leave capital to you descendants is merely a symptom of that actual problem.
I used education as an example, but there are many others. Helping with a down-payment for a starter home is another. Or perhaps they need some seed capital for a purpose I can't predict.
Yes, I did. You care about others, just not as much as you do about your own. Of course you're right, this is human nature. Much like fucking anything that moves, taking that juicy steak from the cripple, or killing anything that seems like it might one day pose a threat to you. Personally, I think that appeals to human nature are a bit played out, as the kids say.
You made a conscious decision to have kids knowing full well that you'd be raising them at the expense of the rest of the human race. That you'd be helping your daughter pay for college, but not helping some other little girl get a hot meal. Of course, you could've decided to do the truly selfless thing and not have kids, so that you could be a better human, so that your little girl wouldn't distract you from the rest of the world. But no, human nature stopped you from being selfless, and you were powerless to resist. Woe is you.
Your daughter is not special. She is one of billions of people suffering through this world. I'll pay for her college just as soon as I can pay for everyone's college, because I don't believe that preferential treatment is fair, by definition. Your entire argument stems from emotion (and appeals to "human nature") and lacks any substance of logic. Don't be offended by the allegations of greed. After all, it's just human nature.
Let me make sure I understand your argument:
1) Caring about and providing for your family is the same thing as rape, theft, and murder.
2) Every child is nothing but a burden to society. Or was it just mine in particular?
3) No one should go to college unless everyone can go to college. When I die everything should be taken from my family to further that goal.
Did I get that right? You're an idiot. Bye.

That's a sadly greedy way to go through life. I understand that "fuck you, I got mine" is a popular motto today, but seriously, have you no shame?
You seriously read it that way? Of course I care about others. That is my responsibility as a human being. I care about my family more than strangers. That is my responsibility as a husband and father. It's also human nature.
Tell you what, you sign up to put my kid through the college of her choice, help her with her first home purchase, generally make sure he has a better life than I do, and make sure my wife doesn't lose her home without my income, and in return I'll happily let the government take whatever they want from what I've managed to scrape up. No? Then fuck off, you sanctimonious prick.
If you make $50K a year, you are in the 25% Federal bracket,and if you are in California another 9.3%, then don't forget social security and medicare - 7.65%, and if you go thru the trouble of being self employed, you get to pay that twice, or 15.3%... OK you're right. It is ONLY 49.6% tax, for a self employed person in California. But, with what you have left you still have sales tax, gas tax, taxes on phone bills, cable bills, car tax (annual vehicle license fee), real-estate taxes... you get the idea.
I was going to respond but you did a much better job than I would have.
Quite a few billionaires (Buffet, Trump) would disagree with you.
If I am a brilliant man and create a company (and create value), I deserve to keep that. But why should my descendants, who are by virtue of their birth part of a "lucky sperm club," entitled to all that wealth?
True capitalism should require a level playing field when you start, and to really do that, when the final score is tallied, the slate should be wiped clean.
That's why such super high estate taxes exist. And typically they're not for you and me, it's for people over a certain threshold (say $1 mio + in assets)

I remember this, too, and it made an impression on me. I still use PowerPoint (or Prezi, or whatever) but spend a lot of time making sure the deck helps me deliver my message, instead of me just narrating whatever's on the screen. Typically I try to use fewer than 10 slides per hour and no more than two or three bullets per slide.
PPT can be a great tool when used correctly. Hardly anyone does, though. At least where I work.
Seriously, they put this guys life in danger. Shame on them.
If he wanted to remain anonymous perhaps he should not have used his own name? It was only a matter of time and enough interest to investigate given that starting point. And if Newsweek found him so easily, and if he's held a security clearance as reported, it's reasonable to believe the government has known who he since pretty much whenever the question first popped up. His life is in no more danger today than last week.
Newsweek : This man is Satoshi Nakamoto.
Sheriff : "What?" The police officer balks.
Sheriff : "This is the guy who created Bitcoin?
Are we really supposed to believe that a Police Officer would know such geek trivia?
Seems to be a little overly dramatic.
You intentionally cut off the quote. "I would like to ask him about Bitcoin. This man is Satoshi Nakamoto." And plenty of cops are geeks, probably around the same as any other job. I used to have a bunch of them show up the LAN parties we'd do in the early 2000's.
Dependable banks require that those running them, and those depositing money into them are not GREEDY BASTARDS
Let me re-write that for you in a simplified form:
Dependable banks require that those running them, and those depositing money into them are not Human.
+1. The only reason there aren't more greedy bastards is due to the limited opportunities to act as one. Ask any communist how that worked out for them.
How will the trailer hold up to the average idiot with a forklift? Or to the average idiot that didn't strap the load in and it shifts?
Likely better than the aluminum used today.
imagine a driver getting turn-by-turn navigation while a front-seat passenger streams music from the Internet, and each back-seat passenger watches streaming videos on separate displays.
Just because there's an internal network for the car's electronics doesn't mean there's any internet connection (and there'd better not be).
Just the possibility of playing NetWars on my car's intranet has me all in a tizzy.
Cables? What about chargers? Why can't I charge my electric car with my phone's charger? This needs to change!
Can confirm unable to charge PEV with my laptop's USB port. Epic fail on the part of the manufacturer.
You may want to review your OSI model. I don't remember QoS, but layer 1 is the physical medium. Ethernet is layer 2.
And Diffserv operates at layer 3, assuming TCP/IP. QoS definitely does not take place only or even primarily at layer 7.
