In simulations zipper merging is an optimal solution. In reality, relying on thousands of drivers to properly follow specific directions and be completely aware of their surroundings is a flawed solution. Telling people how to do something

This is very costly to do. Listen to a political candidate's speech, then try to validate what they are saying on your own. It's incredibly time consuming. A ratings service that relies on the person being rated to pay results in

No it's not. A company being profitable is different than a company turning a profit specifically for it's initial investors. The profitability of a company post-buyout is murky. We're also talking about VCs getting in on pro

The VCs don't always believe it'll turn a profit, a lot of times they are hoping for a big buyout payday.

Discrimination still exists, even for things some think are solved(e.g. race, gender). Often change doesn't occur unless some are forced to change, even while gritting their teeth. CEOs are public figures, and if the public doesn'

The article mentions day-to-day operational concerns, and her project being cancelled doesn't detract from those critiques.

Jerri Ellsworth doesn't sound like a fan of Valve's structure based on her time there. http://www.wired.com/2013/07/wireduk-valve-jeri-ellsworth/ A lot of the time employee handbooks preach one thin

When it's appropriate is not always clear. Those drinking the Kool-Aid will probably say you should always use it. Probably the biggest sticking point for me is not knowing how your program should be structured ahead of time. You'

Doesn't ArduPilot offer those autonomous features?

That drone will not be able to carry much of a payload at all. I would be surprised if you could add a few extra ounces to it without it being bogged down. Something like: http://www.steadidrone.eu/octocopter-ei8ht/ Wo

Certainly not trivial, and certainly not for $1K. Perhaps in 10 years like the article suggests. However, you could probably take an off-the-shelf large R/C plane or helicopter and put a small explosive payload in it, then crash it int

I agree. That quote basically describes any technical attack on a service. You could write any article stating XYZ tech is insecure if you're sounding the alarm based on "future unknown vulnerabilities".

Shareholders are so far out of the loop, rarely are they consulted on important business decisions. Usually when things start going sour is when they start making noise, and by that time it's often too late. Most aren't going to q

Shareholder accountability is pretty much bogus. The only shareholders who have ever had a real say are those who owned vast quantities. The flood of blind investing through retirement funds has further diluted shareholder influence to litt

Yes fiat has become a word of derision amongst the cryptocoin community, completely ignoring the fact that cryptocoins are essentially a form of fiat currency. Many crypto fans sidestep the fact that cryptos also don't have intrinsic v

I agree his statement appeared to be making a black and white argument. Your reply seemed to be further defining the concept behind his statement. Perhaps you were redefining it and I misinterpreted it.

Not exactly. Food stamps can only be spent on food, but you can determine what food you buy. Financial Aid must have tuition(and often books) deducted before the remainder is deposited into your account. Your company may pay for your hotel

This is an issue with the concept of basic income. Likely the most equitable solution would be for government to step in and provide housing directly or limit rents in some areas. The federal basic income level would likely be based off of

No. Simply having money means nothing. This is true for all economies. It's entirely up to society accepting the currency you have to produce the goods you desire. In a basic income society, the amount received should be based off of i

MtGox was not a normal exchange. The MtGox Bitcoin was essentially a separate entity from a regular Bitcoin. The MtGox Bitcoin was offering higher than normal rates of return. This encouraged investors to pump in new capital, which was used

MtGox was usually advertising the highest exchange value for Bitcoins, and it most recently was advertising fire sale level exchange rates on Bitcoins. Once they severely restricted/shut off withdrawals, they were no longer an "ex

Halting withdrawals while still allowing deposits in an attempt to gain enough capital to payout those who were poised to withdraw sounds very ponzi-ish. The low BTC exchange rates were both indicative of the risk, but also enticing to new

An exchange that manipulates it's market to hide away losses and try to shore up it's balances starts to look a lot like a ponzi scheme after awhile.

You would be right to have concerns about future ventures by the creators of Lavabit or CryptoSeal, just like someone might have concern about a Google API service. At least Lavabit and CryptoSeal are giving legitimate and very real reasons

You seem to be okay with children being crushed to death or burning up in fires from substandard building construction. Construction that is known to be unsafe. It's accepted because it is convenient , not because it's necessary.

Much of the produce you mentioned is picked by farm workers who also endure poor labor conditions.

I disagree. Lack of transparency is to the benefit of the companies, and they prefer to keep it that way. You are not going to get an honest answer from a company on a touchy subject unless it's already in their marketing/press re
