Then get on it!

The effects of the pollutants that VW was hiding are quite well documented. To me it seems it would be relatively easy to say that “Atmospheric NOx causes xx cases of such and such ailments in the y region per year, VW’s vehicles as a whole were responsible for z% of these pollutants, and is therefore responsible for…

“Imagine an eight-hour flight that’s actually enjoyable, with ergonomically designed seats and an in-flight entertainment system that syncs to your personal devices. You could get through security faster with biometric scanning. Land in a foreign airport that’s more like a museum, replete with robots and holograms.…

We’ll get mainiac in there next year.

This map implies that all of his trips were London to city B, and never city B to city C, which clearly happens on numerous occasions.

I highly recommend RadioLab’s episode on this subject. If you don’t know anything about cryptolocker, this is an informative and interesting story about one person’s experience with it.

“If we could fly, we would consider it exercise and never do it.”

Just because there was “operator error” doesn’t mean it is not an unsafe machine that is missing key safety features!

In this particular case, she was removing the lid herself with the cup between her legs in order to put cream or sugar in.

Except it can, still does, and “should.” In reading about it, I don’t think the lawsuit was frivolous, her burns were awful, and more importantly McDonald’s had had hundreds of similar complaints and done nothing to reduce the risk. Nowadays they’ve increased the rigidity of their cups and increased the size of…

Even if he did, it is a hat. ;)

Then he’d just end up in P3, and have to deal with the Hammy-bration one week later.

Before whatever taxes occur, that’s like $50k a piece! Assuming it maintains some value, that’s huge. I’d sure like that bonus!

I agree that there will always be an incentive to cut corners, but with proper regulation there should be a disincentive that outweighs that temptation. Surely it won’t be perfect (cough cough vw diesel), but I still think the end result will be much better than having humans driving.

As someone else mentioned, the quality standards for autonomous cars will be much much higher than that of your phone or other personal electronic, in the same sense that the software quality standards for airplanes and car functions (such as adaptive cruise control) are much higher than that of your phone, but even…

The ping pong balls don’t crush/meld into each other because the intermolecular forces keeping each individual ping pong ball together is so very much stronger than the gravitational force between the two ping pong balls (which is not zero, as you incorrectly asserted).

Do two ping pong balls touching each other instantly crush into each other?

I completely disagree. Why would you think that’s the case? Autonomous cars will still always have to contend with things that aren’t autonomous cars, (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists, a child running into the road, a broken down/destroyed vehicle, trees fallen across the road, random debris that falls off of a truck,…

I’m pretty conceited, but not conceited enough to think that I can perfectly predict the future! I guess certain enough that I would bet a few paychecks on it.

Why is PST/EST wrong? Because we’re currently on daylight savings time?
