Wait, why not? The definiton of separate infrastructure seems arbitrary. GPS relies on satellites. Is that separate infrastructure? Humans use road signs and lights and... We created separate, additional infrastructure for ourselves as driv

I think there's a crucial issue with sensoring. Companies are tackling the problem mainly using sensors that are contained within the car. Even with LIDAR (and not just cameras) it is very hard to "sense" the full scene[1]. W

What's wrong with Arial? I should be more aware of typography stuff, but which font (and why) would you use instead of Arial for, say, the Headings and normal paragraph in a technical report?

Another example of lack of regulation is not a feature - it's a crippling fault. Most people rather have their savings in something that legal systems can recoup in case of blatant theft. This guy lost his life savings. Regardless of i

Your comment made me curious and I checked - it is not the physical channel that matters, it is whether the media is _transient_ or not. It seems that paying to skywrite (you know, small plane making artificial clouds) could be slander but

Thanks - I had no idea. My question is less about the particular date (an anniversary of the plaform) and more about the year, though 20008 determines more than 'classic', then, it determines 'early adopter' edit - I see

Why was the arbitrary date of Feb 13, 2008 chosen? I think a mechanism with filter-by-date might be interesting but that date of 13 years ago is arbitrarily excluding most 30-something year olds (all but the precocious 18~low 20s that creat

Term 'regional' speaks to the "scope" (the circulation? ) of the paper. It is not at all redundant with 'New York', a paper can be 'regional' anywhere, right? And 'print paper' is not meanin

The modality of work is the least important part of my comment. You can replace work with any of 'running your own business. Freelancing. Working for Uber' and the comment is the same. The person that runs a business because it n

Anecdote - to me it is. I know what life is like with the existing feature of getting thousands of stolen dollars back by relying on the banking (and/or legal) system. I won't willingly adopt a system without it.

Seriously. What does it take to call a lawyer if not _being accused of a crime_? Particularly one that affects your capacity of getting a job and therefore your livelihood and future? Call a lawyer.

Thanks - I'm not particularly stressed about sounding 100% idiomatic as long as I get the point across (and am not flat out wrong). In this case I think I got the term from an Italian friend, so it might relate to some other word in it
