No, it's not the same problem at all. *No* vaccine is perfect, whether it's because the pathogen mutates slightly, or because the immune system doesn't learn that the (harmless) pathogen in the vaccine was harmful. The way vaccines work isn't perfect immunity, but herd immunity. They work well enough to prevent outbreaks, which is a public health concern, and if you're one of the lucky ones for whom the vaccine worked, then you're better off too. Unfortunately, there's no way to know, beforehand, whether your individual vaccination will work without deliberately exposing you to the pathogen, which is both unethical, and an unnecessary risk.

Some pathogens mutate quickly, like the flu, so vaccines are only good for a very limited time. We know this. But they will mutate with or without a vaccinated population, so it doesn't make sense not to vaccinate just because it won't be perfect.

Antibiotic resistance is a problem, but again perfect use of antibiotics is only a mitigating factor for resistance, not a panacea, because no antibiotic is perfect either. At some point we will need to find either new antibiotics, or alternative treatments. It's actually much easier to develop new vaccines than to find new antibiotics.

All of them, once car makers catch on to SAAS.

Busses, on the other hand, are going to be much harder to remove.

Are you a ticket? Cause you got "fine," written all over you!

Actually, automakers are well aware of the importance of cupholders.

What if there's consent? I could see controlled "drone shoots" being more popular than skeet.

Oh noes, you captured my flabby belly on film!

Not if it records you through the eyes!

Along with the new commercials: Let's move to the knees, Gertrude. You haven't even touched my dirty knees.

autonomous cars are more likely to be shared and constantly in use, rather than sitting in your driveway 90% of the time.

Sorry, no. If I want to "share" a car, I'll call a taxi, or uber. The whole point of owning a car is that it's there when you need it, and since 90% of the people need 90% of the cars at the same (local) time, namely rush hour, it's not going to benefit me to share the car. Especially if I hop in to find dirty upholstery, or trash in the car, or physical damage to the interior.

That said, electronics are cheap. No matter how expensive they were to develop, once mass-produced, the total cost quickly approaches the cost to manufacture. The reason electronics like navigation and cameras are expensive in cars today is because they can charge a ridiculous amount. Charging for "premium audio," or "lane departure" is all about market segmentation -- charging people 25% more for the same car. Once features start coming standard on low-end models, then new features are added to charge more for, and the process continues.

Since "automated driving" is a pretty basic feature of a driverless car, the technology itself shouldn't cost much once it hits critical mass. At that point, expect car manufacturers to add butt-fluffer massage seats and augmented reality windows and charge thousands. And of course, the "premium audio" upsell will never go away.

If Georgia paid for the annotations, then that's certainly a good reason for the annotated code to be publicly available.

If you like dress codes, you'll love Booz, Allen, Hamilton. Freshly pressed suits, at all times. If you're lucky, you might be allowed to take your jacket off after hours.

It seems ridiculous to have an entire course dedicated to STI prevention. Is it just relabeled sex-ed, or do they have a separate course for that?

Also, what is the alleged political motivation? Preventing STIs is a pretty big public health issue. I don't hear anyone complaining that they teach about DUIs in Driver's Ed, for example.

I promise I'll vote for any semi-competent alternative candidate who is not part of the Clinton/Bush family. Hell, I might even just write in Elizabeth Warren.

If only people had easy access to some sort of device that didn't rely on the Operating System in order to capture visual data. Like some sort of tiny camera that they always kept with them. Maybe it could be built-in to some other object that they already keep on them out of habit. We're probably decades away from anything like that, but who knows what the mysterious future holds!
