It doesnt' require that. If there is a certain amount of time it takes to transition, you still start and finish that transition 15 years faster. The lives saved aren't quite as many becasue as more people use self-driving cars you end up safer on average (fewer wrecks because a lot of times it takes 2 to tango).

Even in this case, the edge case was caused by a human driver, not the automated system. So to some extent, without real world testing, we can't get self-driving cars to function during that transition period. The space of crazy possibilities just goes up when you mix self-driving and human drivers.

Yeah, when you think back to the eighties and the ubiquitous Norton Utilities, unerase and commander, it's weird that they eventually morphed into stuff like this.

I choose to believe IRLRosie is the real Alexa. Not that she is, I just like that reality better.

a few years ago, that was exactly Zuckerberg's point. Multiple reports said he did not want to be the decider of what was right or wrong, true or false. He didn't want to have to make a ruling. And then slowly but surely people kept pointing out that they had a moral obligation to stop hate speech, to stop violent speech, to stop dangerous speech, to censor things people didn't politically like. It's just all the early instances were in other countries (i.e. not the west). Everyone was sure no western leader would cross that line. And whoops, it happened and how they were forced to first create loopholes (he is newsworthy so hate speech is ok), and then finally to just apply the rules we asked them to create.

just so you know, bank bailouts were under Bush, Obama did (most) of the car manufacturer bailouts.

I used to always think that was the obvious answer about sex crimes, and then the horrors of the catholic church kind of opened my eyes that there are lots of answers that are regularly right and not the obvious one.

So what youâ(TM)re telling me is that employees might have different political interests than their senior executives?

Wow we ought to write that down or something.

You can usually see which laptops use 18650s, by the shape of the case. Pick a laptop, and search Amazon for replacement batteries.

I strip the 18650s out of laptops for other uses. It's just cheaper that way. It usually works out to about $1 for each 18650, including the occasional bad battery.

Thin squares, like the MacBook Pro have, are different. It's pretty obvious that an 18650 wouldn't fit in it.

Built in batteries are more likely to be flat square or rectangle types. You're SOL for replacing those with a pack of 18650s.

I only strip them down for their cells. I suppose if you're *real* careful, you could cut the case open, and be able to reseal it. There are temperature sensors inline, that you'll want to keep. and you'll need to solder the new ones together. They're typically spot welded. And, obviously, you'll need to keep the original control board. ... or just buy a replacement pack on Amazon or eBay. When the batteries die in the laptops I use, I don't try to remanufacture them. While I could do the parts cheap, the labor would exceed the cost of the replacement pack.

Yeah, youâ(TM)re right, the sensible first response to âoehey, sexism is kinda prevalent and also badâ is âoeI bet those females are lyingâ.

Well done. Good job.

Ya, that's exactly what it sounds like.

You'd think that someone along the way would have said "Hey, these run too hot, lets improve the cooling before these ship".

Lemme guess...you have never seen a comic book.

Damned kids. We flipped through 5 static filled stations, and were happy with it!

Isn't this the beginning of Stephen King's "The Stand"? Well, see y'all in Vegas.

I'm not in any way calling your dedication or work ethic lacking by what follows:

There are a lot of folks who have spent extended periods putting in 100 hour work weeks and up for years, and all their hours are "hard" hours. When my parents were young medical residents (1970s) for 12,000 dollars a year they ran 117 hour work weeks for their first 2 years. 36 on 12 off, 2 days in a row off every 4 weeks. It stayed above 100 for a very long while, and I can still remember weeks where my dad (a surgeon in a small town) didn't come home for 4-5 days because it was easier to catch a quick shower and a nap at the hospital for an hour or 2 and have our cleaning lady take him new clothes to wear than come home. He probably had a running average of 70-80 hours a week (if you include patient file dictation time of 2 hours every morning, weekend rounds, and weekend ER coverage). I'm sure both of them wished they could zone out for 40 hours, but it doesn't quite work that way (and yes, I'm well aware there are probably many dead or maimed patients because of how doctors like them were trained at the time).

my cousin did M&A/structured finance law at a major firm in the city for several years. I know at least 2 years he billed 3500 hours. If you know much about law in that area, you get to bill no more than 75% of your actual working hours, so he had a couple years averaging near 100 hours including on his vacations.

They aren't the only ones of course, but I think for any of this, until you have actually been given clockable hours and continuous work on a schedule that has you go for 100 hours it's hard to imagine what it does. But I can say that you do learn an incredible amount of mental stamina. You can't learn to run a marathon on only 3 mile outings a day. I think this is similar.
