I fear that this thought experiment would lead a lot more rapists to murder their victims because it makes good legal sense to do so.

Shit. I did. I am not a baseball guy so it went directly over my head into shallow right field. Take your base, sir.

Should never be hyphenated. Actually, it should never even be used because only one thing can be the most, so saying “Pete Rose was the most prolific hitter” is exactly as clear and accurate.

George RR Martin needs to stop screwing around with this lawsuit and get back to writing.

Or you could live in the US where Trump lost the popular vote but got to be president anyhow because a toothless yokel living in rural Wyoming has a presidential vote that is worth three times that of a resident of California or New York.

Hyphenating “single-most” is a far more serious offense than these lukewarm takes.

The best solution is putting all of the responsibility with the driver(which it is), until the car is certified to be fully autonomous (which the Tesla isn’t).

So we never make any assumptions about its capability, rather study in depth, its limitations. That, and there is the mandatory checks every 6 months to prove we get it.

Design the system to recognize that the driver is not behaving in a safe way, transition the vehicle to a safe (non-driving) state, and disable autopilot features in a non-trivial way.

And, of course, users quickly learn to click the button as fast as…

I came here to post “in before breathless hand-wringing about the coarsening of American culture” but I see I am too late.

That’s odd. All the Warriors fans I know are actually complete Richards.

(I believe ny has one).

If he doesn’t work out as a pro he has a bright future ahead of him in the Ministry of Silly Walks.

You can, however, gain valuable insight into the claim that one idea inspired another by comparing the relative ages of those ideas. Which is what is going on in the post you are replying to.

As long as you know how to differentiate them from life-ending poison mushrooms.

But what happens if you intentionally disclose classified information without authorization? Well, it’s a federal crime under the Espionage Act of 1917 and the statute Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Section 798, which covers the disclosure of classified information. Basically, it means that anyone who intentionally…
