“The horror of life in North Korea is so complete that citizens pay bribes to government officials to have themselves exported abroad as slaves. They would rather be slaves than live in North Korea. . . . Leaders imprison their people under the banner of tyranny, fascism and oppression. . . . Citizens spy on fellow…

I’ve read Comeys book (borrowed from the library), and it’s a fairly solid read. Some interesting stuff, and Comey’s love of the concepts of honor and respect are clear. He has some nice things to say about Barack Obama (Barry is a fantastic listener, for one), and some not-so-nice things (although nothing we didn’t…

You can really see the disgust in Kim’s face. Trump’s really just the dumbest person.

Please imagine the frenzy were Obama to have saluted a North Korean general.

If you watch the video very closely though you will see the Tesla is blindly following the car in front of it. The car dose not detect the stopped cars in front of the red car until the red car moves over a little and one of the stopped cars also moves over to its left giving the Tesla radar and camera to ability to…

I watched the whole video. It does not appear that this was a low-speed crash that would have caused little injury. A 2-ton Tesla hitting a Ford Fiesta is always going to be bad, at least to the occupants of the Ford.

I’m just speaking to the single continuous in-car footage (the only part that should matter, since it shows the driver’s perspective). It’s no surprise that they would test this multiple times, to see Tesla’s hit rate, but it’s not like a highway situation where the BMW is driving at 75 mph avoiding a stopped car in…

No, this was research that insurance companies in the UK are paying for to determine how they are going to underwrite cars with Autonomous features. If those features make you more likely to crash they will charge more to insure, or if they reduce the likelihood of a crash they’ll charge less to insure. It’s not some…

So now the theory is it’s just #fakenews?

This is why I don’t understand Autopilot. If it “requires” you to be 100% attentive, hands on the wheel, foot at the ready to smash the brake - then what is the freaking point at all?

I see this as little more than a hit piece. Most drivers would have hit the target

That’s grandma level slow. The Tesla had at least 4 seconds to make a decision, which could have either included braking, or the smarter option of following the black car into the other lane. The black car even had the courtesy of braking and signalling, something you can’t take for granted from real world BMW drivers.

This is why I don’t understand Autopilot. If it “requires” you to be 100% attentive, hands on the wheel, foot at the ready to smash the brake - then what is the freaking point at all? It’s completely and utterly hopeless and useless.

Then you have the branding - “Autopilot”. Tesla supporters will tell you that real…

They’re just accurately simulating real world BMW drivers

If it was product placement then it would have been even more annoying because he didn’t make it clear in the tweet.

Bloodied versions of harmless, dead people/celebs as Halloween costumes is always tacky in my opinion. You don’t have to agree with me. I would also say it’s understandable for people to be more sensitive to a gory depiction of a celebrity who died relatively recently (especially if we’re talking 3 months recently…

I remember him doing an interview on Comedy Bang Bang, I think he was there to promote a book or something, and was talking about moving to Harlem. They asked about bookstores in Harlem and he said there weren’t any because “people there don’t read.”

You know, saying I’m petty for being irritated by his Twitter presence this week (and in general) is fair enough. But brushing off the Amy Winehouse corpse as “Dead celebrities are a thing at Halloween” is a little weird to me?

There’s also this little nugget about his doucheness.

I came in here to bitch about the Amy Winehouse thing and was so glad to see it mentioned. I have a pretty sick sense of humor sometimes (my job requires me to have a bit of gallows humor to stay sane) but mocking someone who died after years of struggle is not a good look at all. It could have just been a fictional…
