Comment DirecTV needs ATT (Score 1) 59

Just think about it good TV + Good internet (just think u-verse with out useing part of it's bandwidth for TV)

Comcast cable TV sucks there internet is fast. But I have OLD ATT DSL (in a u-verse area) I don't want to give up Directv for u-verse lower bit rates and HD streams limit. I can get comcast but there have a very weak HD line up + big mess of a channel map.

Comment Re:and some one get's hurt they point to the fine (Score 1) 45

but the drivers own insurance said he was working for Uber at the time and we are not covering this and Uber tried to use fine print to get out it as well.

Just wait a for auto drive that has parts pushed out to many different contractors and sub-contractors that when something bad happens they all point to each other when you are sitting back with you bills racking up as the courts are fighting over who will pay up.

Comment back when you need to burn eproms code was better (Score 1) 58

back when you need to burn eproms code was better on release there where still updates but the base code. Even with older dos / windows game where mostly done on release with some updates. Now days things are more buggy and software comes out with things that will be added later with updates that are easy to install.

What about better QA and no don't have the dev's do testing.

Also the QA needs to have full access to what they are testing. They need to be able stuff that end users can do as well being able to manually set up the system / data in different ways not only to make easier / faster to test out some modes but to also to setup for some unusual modes / settings.

QA needs to be able to think out of the box and it does not need to be some job that is just a side job to some ones other job.

Comment what about basic income and Health Care for all (Score 1) 477

With auto drive cars I see a who is at fault mess unless the gov makes some hard rules about that.

Now do you want to be the person hurt in accident with some kind of auto drive system with the health care bills racking up as the courts fight over who is at fault and who will pay the bills? Even you own health insurance may say why should we pay when you where hit by a Google car?

Health Care for all will make things easier in the part and lower costs by cutting out lots of middle men.

Also we will need some kind of basic income to cover people put out of work by automation.

The last thing we need is people trying to get in jail / prison just for room / board and Health Care that cover more then ER and does not come with the very big bill.
