Yeah that's not how I see this issue at all. I see it more as a terrible tool for an oppressive regime to use, but for most it's probably fine. Unless they went crazy and started mailing people tickets, like they do with red light

Doubt it. At least in the US, cctv sucks and doesn't have a whole lot of coverage.

I want to find an office that doesn't care when I come in with jeans and a cut-off. I'm a programmer, everyone knows we're not client facing in any clothes.

yes, I haven't done all of my preliminary research yet, but from what I know it uses color matching to track things ie. clothes people are wearing. It's for a robot that will follow a person. I'm going to be doing a lot more

:/ wow, I was about to sell my 2015 mbp and get a xps. If not an XPS I don't know what to get. I've tried out a few of the newwer thinkpads and I'm just not impressed. Maybe I'll check out the carbon though.

I honestly think the fault is in the naming conventions. when you call it "Auto Pilot" it doesn't seem like you have to drive at all. Someone like Cadillac calls it "Super Cruise". I think this makes it sound much m

I mean I don't disbelieve the figures that they reduce traffic accidents in vehicles that are using auto-pilot. It greatly reduces trivial human error. But it doesn't change the fact that it sucks when people die from beta testing

Yeah there can be other bugs in my car, or other people that do something stupid, but I feel like I am more in control. It is unlikely I die from my engine blowing a gasket or my ECU completely dying. It might be a slight danger to those ar

yeah I guess. That buggy code doesn't drive people into walls or give people the feeling they can read the newspaper while doing one of most dangerous things they do in their day.

You can pry the steering wheel out of my cold dead hands. Might be true that on paper these things cause less accidents and less deaths, but I want to be in control of my life. If I die in a car I don't want it to be because of a softw

I don't really understand this though. You say you're in a house so I would assume you have a yard? Why wouldn't you just build (or buy) a small shed in the back. Storage units aren't usually much bigger than a normal si

Yes, I've been using the usb-c adapter on my pixel 2 xl this week at work and more than one time already music has come blaring out of my phone speaker. I have to fiddle around with the adapter while mumbling about it. Absolutely annoy

No, no it's not. Shkreli wasn't even that bad of a dude. He was evil in the public eye because he wanted to be and honestly helped out a lot of bullshit happening in the pharmaceutical industry (that we already knew). Shkreli went
