What privacy? You’re driving on a PUBLIC street. “The Man” shouldn’t be able to use technology to track us? By your logic a license plate is an invasion of privacy.

89% missed means 11% saved⦠The rest isnâ(TM)t relevant unless itâ(TM)s compared to human drivers. Everything has to start somewhere; you canâ(TM)t expect perfection right off the bat. Iâ(TM)m sure v2.0 will be (slightly) better⦠and v99.9 still wonâ(TM)t have reached perfection.

What this Slashdot report fails to mention is how much hotter and higher are the oceans getting? And is that amount actually significant? How much knowledge do we have about ocean temperatures and levels in the past? Has it ever been this hot/high before? And was that actually a bad thing? Without any of that information this is just being alarmist. Is chicken little wrong? ;-)

So a girl lies about her age and joins a website to sell sex⦠A website that claims to require everyone to be 18 or over⦠and the government goes halfway around the planet to get the guy? What about her fraud and prostitution? Why is she a victim here and not the criminal?

I couldnâ(TM)t have said this better myself. Desalinate sea water. Weâ(TM)re not using even a third of available farmland; most of the world isnâ(TM)t up to even 1940â(TM)s US farming technology (crop rotation, irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.). MIT made synthetic gasoline 20 years ago. It all just comes down to energy. Which weâ(TM)d have an abundance of if ignorant idiots werenâ(TM)t nuclear paranoid. The OP is 100% BS.

Figured 30 years with Apple was enough⦠;-)

I donâ(TM)t think for a minute that UBI would eliminate bureaucracy⦠Would you pay someone in the heart of Silicon Valley the same UBI as someone living in rural Tennessee? Probably not⦠so who would decide how much UBI would be paid where? Thatâ(TM)s right, Bureaucrats. It would basicly merge the redundant bureaucracy for all the different welfare systems into one⦠or two (medical being separate) so in that case it would be more efficient. And we know how bureaucrats are against that! ;-)

Three of my local restaurants have added the table tablets within the last two years and all the waiters Iâ(TM)ve spoken with say that theyâ(TM)re more productive: they can wait more tables in a given amount of time. And that means more tips. How can customer feedback ever be inaccurate or unfair? It is what it is. What ever happened to âoethe customer is always right?â? When my boys were teenagers I recognized âoeunfairâ to mean âoeI didnâ(TM)t get my wayâ.

These should have been replaced with Molten Salt Reactors decades ago. MSRâ(TM)s are cheaper than all the bandaids necessary to make a LWR look safe. Molten salt reactor - Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor) #1:MSRâ(TM)s donâ(TM)t use water as a coolant⦠Every (LWR) incident to date has had (water at x50â"70 atmospheres!) coolant containment failure explosion! and hydrogen (from radiated water) explosion. (Idiotic! Maybe ok for submarines⦠but land based? No⦠justâ¦Âno.) #2: A MSRâ(TM)s fuel is chemically part of a molten salt. Itâ(TM)s canâ(TM)t âoemelt downâ. #3: MSRâ(TM)s are self regulating: As they get hotter the fuel salt expands and reactions slow; as they get cooler the fuel salt contracts and reactions quicken. (This also means that they can load balance quickly; something that LWRâ(TM)s canâ(TM)t do.) #4: Passive safety: At the bottom of an MSR a salt plug is kept frozen by an external fan. If the reactor gets too hot or the fan stops (external power loss?) the plug melts and all the reactor fuel (salt) drains into a storage tank designed to inhibit further reactions. #5 MSRâ(TM)s burn almost 98% of the Uranium fuel and all transuranics (plutonium and minor actinides)Âand transmutes long-lived fission products (lanthanides) into shorter-lived fission products that generally decay to background levels in about 300 years,Âas opposed to conventional reactors that consume less than 2% of its Uranium fuel and leaves one hundred times the waste that requires over 10,000 years to decay to background levels. #6: CARBON-FREE ENERGY! Addendum: Because of #1 MSRâ(TM)s donâ(TM)t need a huge expensive (to design, construct and regulate) containment structure (that never works).

Nothing else can justify our âoeshit-holeâ president.

Back in the early 2000â(TM)s I noticed that the worse movie decades were the (19)20â(TM)s, 50â(TM)s, & 80â(TM)s (every 30 years) and wondered if the 2010â(TM)s would repeat this observation. A friend pointed out that these decades werenâ(TM)t just the worst movie decades⦠they were also Hollywoodâ(TM)s most prolific decades. So it wasnâ(TM)t that Hollywood was making more bad movies than normal⦠they were just making more movies (including bad ones).

The âoeidiot boxâ of the 20th century has been replaced by a global suppository of misinformation (called the World Wide Web). And worse than any âoedumbing downâ is the intentional ignorance of people that think that their beliefs are more importaint that any facts, logic or reasoning.

This is a BS ethnical question: If the driver (human or AI) has time to ponder ethnics then it has time to avoid both. Thereâ(TM)s a reason the speed limit in a parking lot isnâ(TM)t 65 mph.

I'll 100% agree I've known several startups that the worst thing that happened to them was they went public. The biggest loss is the VC's sell out and take all their resources to their next investment. Second to that is that the board then becomes more focused on the stock holders than the company products.

If you Google "Google" you'll bring down the internet ;-)
