And I make the prediction that Tesla's "Autopilot" in its current form of camera-only navigation will not be able to be safer than new drivers and the elderly (below 80) within the next 20 years, maybe ever. To be it must nav

Stop the comparison to planes just because it's named autopilot in both cases. There are always 2 highly trained professionals in a cockpit and both are familiar with emergency situations because they regularly train for it. They are i

You can actually get a German driver's license within 2 weeks if you sign up for a crash course. You have to listen to 14 theory lessons (90 minutes each), pass a computer test about them, do at least 12 45 minute long practical lesson

They're also valid for 4 strokes but generally speaking 4-strokes have lower torque at high rpm and since it's hard to get much power out of 50ccm anyways, they tend to be 2-stroke.

Commuting nowadays is broken. People commuting by car are hauling around 4 or more empty seats at 30 km/h along a highway full of other people doing the same, going into the same cities often into the same office districs. We could get

Aixam is one manufacturer and based in France as I'm now finding out. The models are relatively expensive, though, because they are not produced in high numbers. https://www.aixam.com/

A typical car is standing around 90% of the day, if not more. It's a waste of space that could be used for trees, walkways, cycle lanes, etc. If we pooled our resources together and made renting cars easy and accessible, we'd have

We have even smaller vehicles currently powered by 50ccm ICE in Germany. You only need a scooter license for them and they are being driven mostly by elderly or disabled people that either cannot get or don't want to pay about 1.500€ f

It needs to be really cold. Like -15°C and some go as low as -40°C. They degrade in efficiency but are still better than a space heater. In the worst case they are exactly as efficient as a space heater.

The Xbox is doing it that way because they need the lowest input latency possible for the controllers. Blocking the antenna for network operations delays the user input. A TV doesn't have that problem and certainly won't have two

Smartphones only have one antenna as far as I know. Why should it be different for TVs?

I don't know about the newest models but up until the XH series wifi was actually faster than ethernet. The SoC only supported 100MBit/s ethernet which isn't enough for high quality UHD content.

Samsung is using bluetooth for their new remotes. Desolder the antenna and you cannot use the TV anymore.

The Swiss tried geothermal power at large scale but the initial tests caused two earthquakes of 3.5 and 3.4 respectively. They then stopped the project. Maybe somebody else has examples of well running geothermal power plants but at least t

I don't get your point? Crypto currencies are useless without a stable internet connection.

This is including industry like aluminum smelting which are basically running their own power plants to work. Aluminum is either used directly or indirectly for everything produced. It's also including households, trains, data centers,

Considering Intel's pretty poor performance improvements over the last 10 years, your 7 y/o laptop is actually pretty fast. People are still using their 2015 MacBook Pros as their main machines. Did you try loading a 50MB CSV (or

Horses literally put shit on the streets. Imagine replacing each car with a horse and think about the amount of poop. Horses are also dangerous. A friend of mine lost almost all of their teeth because their horse kicked them in the face whe

I noticed this, too. I suspect that it doesn't come down to believe but to social acceptance. It's currently en vogue to be pro diversity and contra racism which is good in and of itself but I don't think that all people are

Everything is running in firewalled environments. Literally nothing written in VB6 is publicly accessible. We are using .NET since the release of .NET Framework 2.0 and only very old code is VB6.

I have said this before but here I go again: the company I work for is still maintaining a program written in 1999 in Visual Basic 6.0 nearly unchanged on Windows in 32bit. Windows is the perfect platform for us because it makes our applica

Could be. But men rated women very closely to a normal distribution which makes it not impossible but unlikely.

People seem to be very bad with subjective averages. Just like 80% of men on OkCupid were rated by women to be below average.

There is so much legacy tech out there that is still working on the trust level from back when DNS was a hosts file you manually copied to your system once in a while. BGP and SS7 are other famous examples.
