We don't need to be 100% safe, safer than human drivers is enough.
Plus, if there are indeed neural nets, they are not necessarily relied upon in life-or-death situation. In fact, they most likely aren't.
For example, the prankster tricking the car into thinking the bridge abutment is a road may fool some advanced AI until another, much simpler piece of code tied to a proximity sensor triggers an emergency maneuver. Rough ride but you are safe.
And, I wouldn't call these people pranksters. Murderers would be a more correct term, and thankfully, they are rare. The "push you on the tracks while the train is coming" prank may be an easy one but I don't see it performed very often...

Bot here.

What is this "joke" thing humans are so found of ?
And GP comment makes no sense. Why should bots leave when they are asking for maternity ? What is this "stirred up office" thing ?

Oh, bleep bloop, update incoming, it looks like a critical bug fix. See you later humans.

Greece, because they don't have the money.

While they may be easy to avoid by themselves, if, for some reason, they collide with other space junk, they may break up into a large number of smaller pieces, possibly triggering a chain reaction. Bigger debris also typically experience less drag and stay in orbit for longer.

Not sure. Cubes are not the best for radar tracking : convex shape, flat surfaces, sharp angles. These are actually the basis for stealth design.

If your project involves code, it's better if you are familiar with code. In the same way that if your project involves wood, it's better if you are familiar with woodworking.
Better architects also know the technical aspect of construction, including manual labor.

100% perfect execution can turn a bad idea into something that is still bad but sells well.
Flaky execution of a great idea can be a commercial success for your competitors after they take the idea and execute it better.

If that one asshole as you say it is an active kernel developer he has the right to include support for whatever the fuck he wants, that's the whole point of the Linux development model. As long as it is disabled at compile time, it won't affect you.

The Surface Pro was good. The real bomb was the Surface RT. Now that they got rid of it (the Surface 3 is x86) it seems that the sales are picking up again.

You may not like the choices made by Red Hat but all the technologies you cited except maybe GTK+/GNOME are widely successful in term of market adoption.

Both of these issues are related to batteries. On the Tesla model S, the battery alone is as expensive as a new mid-range car (about $20-30k) and weights more than a half ton. And this is barely enough for a general purpose car.

No need for a prison sentence. She should simply be arrested and her employer notified...

Phone with fingerprint scanners usually have a backup password.
Additionally, their tech seems to scan the underlayers of the skin and fingerprints start relatively deep, this is why they regrow the same way after being damaged. Maybe this can be used to detect the fingerprint even behind small scratches and burns.

MDMA, like many recreational drugs, may be an effective medication in some cases.
However there are often practical reasons why they are not used :
- there are non-abuseable or better alternatives
- the effects are unpredictable (the main problem with psychedelics like LSD)
- they are not that effective
- there are too many side-effects
- they are actually used but with a different name (Adderall is "speed") or in an different way (cocaine as a local anesthetic)
