I'd skip this, because it would tell the AI that this "bicycle looking thing" is not a bicycle. If they wanted a cycle lane, they'd ask for that. Then again, if they wanted a zebra crossing they wouldn't ask for a

I assumed it was an enclosed bridge between two buildings, a skybridge or skywalk, but apparently they are black and white striped crossings that I know as "zebra crossings".

Its not even the anglosphere, because I'm from English England and had no clue what an American crosswalk was until recently. This is something that affects non-americans, not just non-angles.

Given Google tracks everything about me, there's no reason why they can't find-and-replace "crosswalk" with "zebra crossing" to match my locale. Its not a conspiracy, its just laziness on Google's part

Same here. They are usually marked with a yellow "H" sign about a foot tall, and the numbers on it tell the fire brigade where to find the hydrant if its not immediately below the sign.

I hate these things. I failed a few because I was skipping ones that asked me to identify "crosswalks", only to discover about a month later that I was misunderstanding it to mean a skywalk bridge between two buildings. What act

People who are blind don't necessarily lack vision - that's why the bobbled paving slabs at the edge of crossings and train platforms are bright yellow. [1] Admittedly the LED wouldn't do anything a tactile or audible click

I don't disagree, but there was no mention of rescuing the children from the line of fire. Maybe that's obvious from context in the states, but it sounds like the guy went "wild pigs are attacking my kids, I need to shoot th

Your original comment discusses the time it takes to go from having no gun to being in a position to fire your gun at wildlife that has bypassed your garden fence. You make no mention of the time it takes to actually retrieve the children

It also sounds like, going by your interpretation of the chain of events, that they shot at the pigs while the kids were still in the garden that was swarmed by said pigs. All the while seeming to ignore the fact they have a rather large ho

Same with Google Goggles, which was replaced by Google Lens. It wasn't just a simple rebranding as the two existed at the same time momentarily, but no functionality was really lost.

RIP Google+, though. Yes, it was obviously spyware dressed as a social network (then again, aren't they all?) But allowing users to make custom "circles" of friends and share things with some circles and not others is somet

The only real issue I have with ditching chrome apps in favour of PWAs it all the lost work in making web apps look and feel native. Now we have to live with a half-browser wrapper that may or may not have the forward and back buttons as f

While I on the whole agree, there are some cases where its unavoidable. You could be coming home late from work, and you can't power nap in the car park there as the lock the gates, so you need to drive to a location where its safe to

DRIVER_VAPING would be dangerous for Tesla because it has a chance to obscure their camera's view of the driver, meaning they can't accurately blame known autopilot faults on driver inattention.

>The level of safety before factoring in hubris was much better than "good enough". I think the point of the argument is "ship the system that doesn't cause hubris if it is much better than 'good enough'&quo

by dafoex 6y ago
I agree, but I interpret the argument as such: Tesla, by using language like "your hands are only there for regulatory reasons" makes no effort to dispel the myth to the driver that the car autopilot can exceed all human drivers

I'm not colourblind enough to be "legally" colourblind (that is to say I don't have an accurate diagnosis) but I still feel your pain. I particularly hate status indicators that are orange/green, rather than red&#x

I believe most countries allow making archival copies - either digital or physical, and sometimes both - of a whole publication of any sort. The fair use aspect of archival is the preservation of the contained information under the assumpt

Perhaps this it the wrong analogy, but home cooking hasn't killed the restaurant industry. Maybe, given that ebooks are just files that don't have to be printed and bound, libraries should buy direct from the author, rather than

I like this just because its cool, but I agree with your point that just the raw parts with basically invisible electrons flowing through probably doesn't help teach. A light up diagram where you can see the signals and their values m

Does that not also prove the point? The US view of racism being white against black eclipses all other forms of racism, including white A against white B, or even black against white. That's not to say white against black is only a US

On top of that, what is the proper way to acknowledge contribution? "CC-BY-SA Africa and Finland"?

And you can't argue with salad because its healthy, and we are too fat, and we aught to be trying to live longer lives even though there's no incentive for most of us to prolong our misery.

Good thing this article came along so we can point at actual race related problems British people face, but not people from the states.

Also the so-called "killer app" for USB-C - the HDMI output - just doesn't work on all devices, and there's barely any way of knowing beforehand.

And for manufacturers to accurately label what their devices can do, so there's no surprises when you read one thing only to find out its false and you can't get HDMI out of your phone
