It's a strange fight. The robots sometimes seem unaware of where their opponent is, facing the wrong direction or throwing kicks and punches in the air.
Not strange if you've ever played a fighting game against someone not into computer games. They learn quickly that by just mashing buttons randomly they can often get a win without actually learning anything about the game. Same principle.
I have to wonder if the geniuses who started these services ever consulted cab companies and drivers before the fact to have a better understanding of what they were taking on.
Of course they didn't. The name of the game is "disrupting an industry". Because on paper and in investor pitches, everything is straightforward, simple, and was practically waiting for them.
That reality is more messy, has more edge cases, doesn't always follow your process, is something you don't tell the investors and don't consider in your service until you've had the chance to cash out.
It's almost as if having humans around can sometimes have advantages.
But I'm sure this'll just be seen to add one more robot to the robot taxi. A humanoid co-pilot bot?
Okay, Stupid Evil Christian Terrorist.
Nope.
That depends on the time when you made it. Originally, it was completely separated.
Then somewhere in the 90s, they allowed people with a manual transmission license to ride both.
And right now: it is separated again. You need to take extra hours on an automatic car, to be allowed to get a dual license.
How do I know? The place I hang out has several young guys getting the driving license right now.
Might be a little bit different from country to country, not sure.
With my license: I am not allowed to drive an automatic car. However, I am forced to get the new ID card sized driving license. And with that one - as I made my license 1986 - I get automatic as a gift. Pretty idiotic.
Technically: I have no clue how to drive an automatic car. Except for watching other people drive it.
No, it's more likely that girls and women learned to mask symptoms early for survival reasons.
If you look at hunter-gatherer societies, ADHD is paramount to survival because it avoids over-harvesting. Too little ADHD produces cultures prone to driving plants and/or animals extinct. ADHD is a critical stop-gap that prevents this. Studies show ADHD gatherers will not only collect more, they will do so in ways that cause far less damage, resulting in a far better second harvest and far better sustainability.
Into more modern times, ADHD was a valuable survival trait. Too little and you became vulnerable to diseases, pests, crop blight, etc. If you wanted a stable population, right the way through to the industrial era, you needed a high level of ADHD in the population.
It is only when neurotypical bosses decided that they had to micromanage everything and decided who lived and who died on the streets that you see ADHD symptoms suddenly and massively suppressed. But masking changes nothing. The levels will still be the same, they're just hidden.
It isn't. The under-diagnosis of girls is astronomical.
You are assuming ADHD is a new thing. No, it isn't. It is a survival thing. ADHD was critical in a very large percentage of the population for the bulk of the last 350,000 years. Without it, humanity would have gone extinct. It's merely not appropriate in a world in which neurotypicals make neurodiverse solutions a "bad thing".
They might drop by a little, but honestly not by much. Boys are mildly overdiagnosed for the reasons you give (but few places still medicate), girls are however massively underdiagnosed.
I never got myself into the whole "masculinity" obsession, even back in the 70s and 80s. The result of this was a discovery that computers launched me head-first through far fewer windows and pelted me with far fewer rocks. So, yeah, I was definitely seen as disposable though my childhood and teen years by pretty much everyone. (It's one reason anyone looking back at those as "golden years" is unlikely to win me over.)
Escapism is pretty much all I had at the time, and these days remains pretty much all I have - reality has grown far worse over the years and knowledge by the neurotypicals has not come with empathy but ammunition. There is guilt and shame in playing with creative writing or inventing, and the demons have got really bad on occasion, but you're right, it's not doing anyone any harm.
Both. It's best thought of as a positive feedback loop.
Depends on the country.
In Germany the price is artificially inflated by "copyright fees" to pay to some RIAA like organizations, as every USB stick is obviously full with pirated material (and pirating is a jailable offence).
I should smuggle USB sticks from Asia and sell them on eBay in Germany
Regarding cars (no idea about bikes) it is similar in Thailand, you have to pass a test on the court of the "license school"
They have no mandatory hours for city, overland or highway or night driving etc.
I remember a facebook post where an agitated American was asking the FB crowed (yes, retarded idea).
The question was like: you try to enter a main road from a side road. The lanes of the main road are separated by two solid lines of paint. You want to turn left into the main road. What are you doing?
a) turn left into the main road (crossing the solid lines of separation)
b) turn right, go to the next U-turn and turn around
So his question was: why his answer "A" was always rejected.
So the community mocked him: why not simply take some driving lesions, read some books about driving rules instead of trying to memorize the correct answers for a multiple choice test - without grasping what the questions are about?
Nvidia is loaning money to AI companies to purchase Nvida GPUs,
That is basically what happened during the "dot com bubble crash", for example SUN lending out money to make companies like Toys Are Us great (no idea what happened to them). When the bubble busted SUN lost an incredible amount of money. So they got bought by Oracle, mostly.
And what will they do if I say, "No"?
Stupid question.
You are not even asked
No idea who modded you.
But this: "or tienaman (sp?) square" - is a stupid question.
The information about this is simply not in the model.
Anything free is worth what you pay for it.
