What are the advantages over strategically placed cameras? Why not use what's already there, or upgrade them, and feed all of that into a system that does the heuristics they're talking about? Seems like a much more acceptable route, not to mention cheaper, than putting in robots that will need to be maintained, and most likely vandalized on a regular basis.

I would suggest the HP-11C. It's available on ebay, and is not $15 cheap, but it is an RPN programmable scientific, of less complexity than the HP-48. I am an RPN fan, so I would go the extra mile to get an RPN calculator.

You are making my point. You're so steeped in the ideology you likely can't see it's faults. Take a break and look at it from the outside, in context to the rest of the world, and you'll see things from a perspective you've probably never seen before. One such example was NOW fighting AGAINST equally shared custody, feminsm's hand in biased family court laws (eg tender years doctrine), unequal and biased domestic violence laws (eg VAWA and predominant aggressor policies), and a whole host of social problems that are the direct result of feminist blinders and baked academic studies.

You're obviously have little to no concept of the differences between feminism on paper and feminism in practice. They're worlds apart.

It's only sexist when men do it:

Yeah, but they're feminists. When are they NOT indignant about something? Here's an article where feminists equivocate the use logic in an argument as a form of domestic violence:

tl;dr - Woman gets drunk, drives, then winds up killing some people. For some reason the state charged the guy who bought her some of the drinks. /facepalm

How about we just stick to holding people accountable for their actions instead of shifting the blame to others, mmmkay?

The main obstacle to self-driving cars isn't technological, it's cultural. Even if they get a commercially viable product on the road in 2020, it'll be at least a generation of these things being on the roads before people become comfortable enough with the technology to trust their lives to it en mass. And that doesn't even speak to the costs involved. High end luxury cars get the tech first and it trickles down, eventually. Factor that in with the cultural issues and we're probably not going to see widespread adoption of self-driving cars until 2050 or beyond.

We never liked the choices available for secure email for mobile devices, because no email client with PGP encryption was available for smartphones. Instead, we had to install PGP Universal, which is a server-based version of PGP, designed for enterprise environments, which does the PGP encryption and decryption on the server, with PGP private keys stored on the server. Not a good architecture for consumers in today's climate. We strongly preferred to do PGP on the client side, but we were a long way from having a PGP client for mobile devices. And even if we had a PGP client, we would still be stuck with email metadata exposure on the servers, even with the message body encrypted. That's why we were unhappy with Silent Mail, and why we were discussing a phaseout for some weeks before these events. The Lavabit event made it clear we could not put it off any longer. --Phil Zimmermann (spelled with two Ns)

We in fact do publish the source code for Silent Phone and Silent Text. -Phil Zimmermann

One of the films has a deleted scene where he plays an old country boy in the military who they used his likeness for the robots. They even went so far as to dub over his voice so he sounded really southern.
