That's assuming that the leak is from a single source (single business or website). Is it conceivable that if you aggregate all leaks it would equal the 1.X billion number referenced? The location of hundreds of thousands of WordPress

That's probably pretty close to the aggregate number of credentials leaked, and these leaks are easily downloaded or bought on the internet. It wouldn't be difficult (and is commonly done) to create a large database of all leaked

Do you know about Wikipedia's version control and discussion features? Wikipedia is about 10 GB compressed, meaning that anybody can download a copy and save it forever, for free. If you include the discussions pages, images, and revis

If you are a history major then what you said might be true, but expecting every student in the US to memorize those dates and everything similar (melting points, number of protons/electrons, dates of birth of authors) is insane and ve

This link from the same site is on the front page of HN today: https://medium.com/@sachagreif/in-the-past-couple-years-star... It's a decent article and fairly interesting (though not surprising), but the layout i

Title needs to be changed. No need to risk setting back a technology as important as autonomous vehicles just to get some more upvotes. There are a huge number of these street view cars driving around constantly, them crashing is nothing ou

The car needs to be able to see well and detect pedestrians, they can already do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXeUu_Y6WOw Note that this was a few years ago, it's undoubtedly better.

I agree with everything you said, as long as the vehicle has a clear line of sight of the road ahead and there is enough room to drive off of the road if something unexpected happens. In the situation mentioned there is a blindspot where a

If the vehicle has enough time to detect someone has fallen in the road to be able to swerve and hit a wall (killing the driver), then the vehicle should also have been able to detect that someone was close to the road (or that there was a

Would a driverless truck with $5 million in cargo be programmed to drive off of a cliff or run over the child? Either way, less people will die with autonomous vehicles, let's start rolling them out ASAP.

I'd like to see a simulation of this scenario, I find it hard to believe that the only options would be kill the child or the passengers. If that was the only options, then the vehicle shouldn't have put them in that danger by tra

by dm2 12y ago
The slower speed would allow for the vehicle to crash into the wall (if that's the only option) and everybody would live. Unless the person falls from above, from a blindspot, or falls a few feet in front of the vehicle, it should be a

by dm2 12y ago
This scenario should never be possible. An autonomous vehicle should never be traveling fast enough to not be able to stop for any objects that could potentially jump out in front of it. If there is a blind spot, slow the vehicle down. If t

Looks like they're making a lot of money from those taxes, hundreds of millions per year. I've never heard of MGM Grand Detriot, interesting, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM_Grand_Detroit

There is one Indian casino in my state that is 300 miles away and none of the other 5 states that border me have a single casino. The closest other than the 1 in my state is over 600 miles away. I learned a new term today, Racino, had never

There only in a few cities in the US where you can gamble like that, it's illegal in most places. Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Indian reservations, cruise ships, and casino boats are the only places I can think of that allow gambling in t

I've noticed that too and also do not like it. I'd prefer the traditional style article and thumbnails where necessary (not just for the sake of cramming images into articles). Maybe they've done testing and this style articl

Has anyone ever made or seen a robot that's the size/shape of a pencil that has inner motors and can propel itself by rolling? That would be useful if you put a small camera in it (it would have to be stopped of course to record o

I envy having that kind of parent/mentor. It's taken me many years to learn basic things on my own, financial responsibility, social skills, the importance of education, discipline, study habits, etc. My parents came home and eith

Part of the equation is undoubtedly the financial resources kids have access to but you have to also factor in what the parents teach children. If a parent is financially irresponsible and just sits their children in front of the TV to act

They say in the link that it's similar to how CT scans are done. I've never heard of anything similar to the dual robot method being done, it seems extremely impressive, is there any similar technology available? I'm guessing

What do you mean? Learning date ranges is important, what years the wars started and ended (approximately), what period of time an author was born (1700s, 1800s, etc). Knowing a specific date and being tested on knowing that exact number is

What will also be interesting is how it will affect education. We were all told we have to memorize things because we can't carry the textbook around with us, that's simply not true anymore. Filling our brains with dates for civil

Remember CueCat? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat I see no harm in trying something similar again, it might work if done right, would need to be wireless.
