Comment Better on the outside (Score 1) 172

I don't care about wasting half a cent's worth of ketchup, but what I do care about is not getting sick. If this stuff is on the outside of condiment bottles and salt shakers at restaurants, it massively reduces the number of germs that'll live on said implements. And how often do you wash your hands between putting ketchup on your plate and dipping a fry into it?

Comment I guess she got tired of blaming weed... (Score 4, Insightful) 353

She seems to blame a lot of external factors for the unruliness of today's youth. I wonder if it could really be that these kids are watching their parents' generation continue apathetically watching as the world goes down the shitter, Nah, couldn't possibly. They're the ones paying her top dollar to psychoanalyze their kids, after all.

This is an indispensable aspect of the road to automated driving, so to speak. Yes, learning human behaviour behind the wheel would be detrimental if it were applied directly to the AI's own driving algorithms, but consider that it's going to need to anticipate the actions of all the human drivers around it. Yes, I would like my self-driving car to have a very fine-tuned set of expectations for the idiocy it'll encounter.
