But somebody needs deal with the inevitable delays and malfunctioning signals at winter and look out the window to check people do not get stuck in the door, etc.
Translation: Get rid of drivers and replace them with safety patrol officers and maintenance workers who are trained to ensure safety and handle emergencies.
I'll relish in those years where I can drive like a mad man and all those self driving cars will part like the red sea.
And those self-driving cars who will at the same time catch you on video and upload the footage to your insurance company and local traffic authorities.....

These people are increasingly rare, given that more gas stations lack "full-service" pumps.
Well, chalk one up for electrics, I guess.
Tesla's working on automated full-service battery swapping stations. And apparently also on charging cords that can plug themselves in:

Robots of that sort already exist, so you can see the sort of thing he's probably referring to:
Local delivery (Fed Ex, UPS etc) will still have an operator (or perhaps two or more) that can jump out with the package while the delivery truck drives around the block
That's what the Amazon drones are for. The truck just has to cruise through the neighborhood. Meanwhile, small drone aircraft that it carries will work to carry packages out of the truck and to front doors. A human will still be needed for heavy or bulky packages, or for deliveries that have to be brought inside or where there's no convenient place for the drone to land to deposit them, but those packages and destinations can be separated from the others at the local depot, and all put on a smaller number of trucks, therefore needing a smaller number of humans. You won't need a human for every truck if you work out the routes each day based on the nature of the packages you've got and where you're taking them.
as the DNS names the certificates protect are passed in the clear during TLS negotiation.
A privacy issue.... Hopefully, in the future, we'll add negotiation using DH of a shared secret between client and server, then exchange a Hash of the DNS name encrypted with a shared secret during TLS negotiation, instead of the actual name.
That way, a third party cannot passively snoop on the TLS negotiation and work out the proper certificate name being expected by the client, without causing the SSL session to fail.
I noticed there are a lot of incidents of "people providing carriage" these days looking for any possible revenue streams they can get, legitimate or not. Mafia-Like. The big near-Monopoly residential broadband providers in the world want to change their role from common carrier to Mafioso Middlemen.
Without Title II / Network neutrality regulation by the FCC.... the time has fast been approaching in the US, where if you want to go to http://www.amazon.com/ in your web browser, you would not be able to, unless Amazon made a deal with your ISP that includes a cut of every sale.
It's similar to the idea of the electric company wanting to charge a percentage of the sales of every new device, before you are allowed to plug it into the wall (Your new iPhone charger must be hardwired by a POCO-approved installer, and the install fee is $50 plus 10% of the price of the new equipment shown on the sales reciept).
The next stage is for Google to provide an Apache plugin and some custom Javascript to detect if a client has been downloading certain pages without displaying the ads; if your IP address gets in the "Ad Blocker" blacklist, then all the content provider websites can just query the blacklist and refuse to serve content until you unblock the ads.
I can hardly imagine them wanting you to use less traffic.
They're better off if you pay for much more traffic upfront than you use, like the average subscriber does --- the overages are just to catch the small number of "heavy eaters", so reducing traffic would be a win with most subscribers using a prepaid monthly expiring allowance they won't hit anyways.
This. We all need to think about the toddlers a little bit more and throw some context in, instead of just starting our replies with This.
You're probably right. But it could be worth it to the employer in terms of employee relations.
It can be beneficial for your counsel, for things to turn out differently, in terms of employee relations ---- it will mean more $$$ for the attorney in the future from referrals and employees talking about it if things turn out in your favor, therefore, you might at least in theory be able to make a deal such as a contingency arrangement with the attorney representing yourself against the hostage taker to help ensure that doesn't happen; make sure to have done all your anticipatory homework well in advance of the action you are pursuing legal recourse against.
Just because they can afford counsel that charges a higher rate or requires more hours: it does not necessarily mean they will get as much more for their money as they paid for, especially if there is a strong case against them. If the facts are sufficiently strongly in your favor, then they will be wasting every cent, especially once you demonstrate bad faith in attempting to drag matters out --- and recover attorneys' fees from your fmr employer as well; they can hire more people or more hours of legal work, or attorneys who are in higher demand, however they will burn through a large amount of cash, and there is a point of diminishing returns. A great plumber can charge a bit more than a bad one, but a decent plumber who charges astronomical prices can't give any kind of assurance of a more effective job, just because their prices are high.
Perhaps it helps if you yourself go get some legal creds and then pursue your fmr employer as an attorney representing yourself, then they won't have much luck running up your hourly legal costs, and with your a$$ on the line, you might put more hours a day into that one case than your adversary's "high priced attorney" dividing his/her attention across 30 clients would even be willing to work on it.
Either that, or find an associate willing to help you press the charges pro-bono, and cost the former employer as many $$$ as possible.
I don't know anyone who spends time charging and carrying around (as a phone) a phone that can only call 911.
These days there are purpose-built emergency phones. You don't need to charge. You use lithium batteries which last a long period of time (shelf life), as there is no draw from the cell until you need to activate the emergency-only device.
I haven't heard of a plane that has crashed twice, usually once will do the job.
I believe in the US... once a plane crashes, it is going out of commercial service permanently, as it would need a total overhaul --- even if the body of the plane survives, they are not going to risk the potential liability of flying equipment that might not be 100%.
However... in New Zealand, there was a time when a plane crashed twice in one day; it crashed again after the supposedly minor damage from the first crash was repaired.
I do not believe this kind of scenario would play out on a commercial flight with passengers on board ---- again, too risky for the airlines to allow a crashed plane back in service after "minor" repairs. No amount of inspection will clear up the political faux pas, if a plane brought back in service after an initial crash does crash again, and passengers are injured in the 2nd crash.
How about call screening? You call in from a NSI telephone, then you are connected to an IVR. Before you are connected to a dispatcher, you have to listen to a 5 second voice prompt, and confirm that a person's is in immediate danger of death or severe injury by saying 1 or saying 'emergency', Please press 2 or say 'support' for any other problem.
If '2' is requested, the call will be redirected to a special police non-emergency number If '1' is requested, then a second screening stage will request caller to specify what kind of emergency, "At the tone, please say your name and press #", "At the tone, please say your year and month of birth and press #", next they will be connected to a live operator who will gather their information; if the recorded name and DOB were each an appropriate number of seconds.
This is why we can't have nice things.
This is totally a bogus reason why we can't. I think a better strategy would be a different screening process from emergency calls in from a NSI phone, Or tougher regulation on the distribution of NSI phones.
Perhaps new ones should have to contain a 'FCC ID CHIP', which is crypto-signed, and cannot be distributed without someone showing a drivers' license and ownership being recorded at the point of distribution.
Or require providers to initialize an "Emergency Only" service upon request for a nominal fee, which would cause the FCC ID CHIP to become registered in a national database, so all carriers have to accept the device.
There should be some system where life/death emergency call devices can be guaranteed to work for emergencies, without having to pay for full blown telephone service.
