Betting it will be while rage-tweeting on the toilet.
I'll feel bad for the Secret Service agents on duty...

The reason for the rules seems like common sense to me. There is a certain distance needed to stop or change lanes when driving at highway distance. If the truck breaks down just over a hill, cars won't see it early enough unless the warning signals are put further back where they can be seen coming up the hill.

I seriously doubt that these rules were just shit someone made up. The NHTSA has so many studies regarding road regulations and guidance. They might be outdated for modern technology, and might be worse than newer alternatives - I don't doubt that hasn't been studied yet - but I would absolutely wager that there were studies done to justify the original numbers.

Furthermore, when congress delegated regulatory power to these agencies they included laws dictating how the rules needed to be determined, specifically so you can't have a bunch of political hacks changing them on a whim. Changes to the regulation need to be justified, and there needs to be comment period to gather any information and concerns that the agency itself might have overlooked, respond to the comments and incorporate any changes as appropriate. I don't want regulators to be able say "this is just some crap" and change rules every four years because they shoot from the hip. That means that changes take 1-3 years depending on how complicated and motivated the agency is, but it is worthwhile to end up with better regulations and avoid being constantly jerked around.

If the rule is unreasonable and contributes nothing to safety then it's blocking. For example, if the existing rule said you can't be bald .. you'd have to agree that it's unreasonably blocking bald drivers.

How good are humans at those "organic" responses? 4000 fatal large truck accidents annually by human truck drivers in the US are not enough for you? You know, like this just yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

That's a good idea, why couldn't they think of it? I was immediately thinking deploying wheeled remote control cones but drones are a cheaper and better idea. There are many solutions to this, you have to wonder about why Aurora didn't offer them up

False (obviously by 1994 the vast majority favored web over gopher .. but there were a few people who preferred gopher's simplicity). In fact there are still people today who still say Gopher is better: https://qr.ae/pC2X31 AND https://arstechnica.com/tech-p...

I had no idea "Slashdot Reader" was a bona-fide pundit credential up there with Nobel laureate. I should definitely put it in my resume.

He's waiting to decide after the Soviets prove that it's even possible.

"I don't support people getting unemployed because their work is stolen, mashed up and resold."

How can someone get unemployed because I look up something in AI? That's just dumb. Let's say I ask AI "how does an airfoil work?" I am getting to skip aerodynamics 101 and now some professor (not even the inventor of airfoils) is out of work? Maybe we shouldn't have people collecting a tax for sitting between knowledge?

I'm sure they will in no way resent that and remember it forever.

After all, forced bedtime always goes smoothly with kids.

Got any proof he isn't already? Remember, Trump and Kim Jong-un are pen-pals who "get along very well".

Someone else used to think that: Donald Trump calls Bitcoin 'a scam against the dollar', but now... Trump pardons convicted Binance founder 'CZ' Zhao who plead guilty, btw, while retaining his stake in Binance, the company that supports Trump family's World Liberty Finance crypto venture, through which they make $$$.

According to TFS, the cops on the scene had a copy of the photo, so this should already be the case.

Hopefully, they had already surmised this was a false alarm, but guessing they had to cover their asses and check it out and follow through as though it was a real situation, since it was flagged by the system. Not defending this, but can see why it happened. Had the video simply been originally viewed by a person, who would have realized it was a finger, it would have ended there. On the downside, people seem hesitant to dismiss/ignore obviously errant AI assessments.

Back in 1994, I knew old people that refused to use a fad known as "World Wide Web" .. Gopher was much better. There was also FTP, Usenet, and IRC. Who needs the web? These same people used Word Perfect 5.1 and would never switch to "WYSIWYG" word processors.

Then they complained that they got replaced by "inexperienced" young workers.

Ok, can you name a mechanism or structural feature ..aside from the rocket engine and turbopumps.. that you need proprietary knowledge to duplicate? For example, you could try to claim it's not possible for the Chinese to design a propellant tanks .. but we know they can, because they've had more complex tanks and plumbing required for liquid hydrogen in their Long March 5 and 7A series of rockets. Sure, there may be a one or two thousand kilograms of weight savings with some clever strut design, thinner walls, or superalloys some places in the tanks but basically there isn't much unknown there. And by the way their rocket diameter is wider than the Falcon 9 so it's clearly not a duplication of blueprints. The main (basically only) secret sauce of any rocket is the engine. If we look at what's limiting the Zhuque's performance, it's the performance of their engine.
