I don't know much about GM's Supercruise, but I'm still in the camp that Tesla's Autopilot is dangerous and irresponsible. More specifically, I'm against anything less than L4 autonomous self driving cars.

You want "kind of works" with a self driving system?

I think the idea is that "force" sounds like Uber is doing it without a prior arbitration agreement. "Enforce" sounds like Uber is doing it after an agreement with drivers. The latter is what is actually happening. It&#x

The software to see if it's in a valid state is trivial. But like the other commenter said, it's probably just calibrated to a "start" position.

I don't know about OP's environment, but the larger the codebase, the less feasible running every test locally as you go becomes. You run relevant tests locally as you go, but depending on the change it might take a long while to

It's not about distance for me, really. It's about availability and convenience of fuel. Gas stations are EVERYWHERE and it takes 3 minutes to fuel. Electric fueling stations require route planning, and takes 30+ minutes to fuel.

What about just cleaning? i.e. wiping down with non-antibacterial soap. I know viruses are not bacteria, so I'm a bit off topic, but still interested.

Didn't Facebook just get yelled at by everyone for having too much information available via the API? I don't think it's fair to be upset that they started to lock down their APIs after that issue.

If someone has physical access, isn't it considered compromised anyway?

That ingredient list is missing the "secret ingredient" that your parent post is talking about, so nah.

99.9999999999999999% of radio waves we get from the rest of the universe is absolute garbage. There would be some kind of pattern with purposeful radio communications. Recognizing purposeful radio communication is a much easier task than in

While I'm also excited about fake meat, the impossible burger isn't close. Impossible tastes as if you took low quality meat, pureed it, took all the fat out, made it into a patty, and then froze it. Sure, you could trick me into

Unless you have some kind of special insight, why would you not just go with the flows of the overall market and invest in index funds? Seems like a good default when all options are technically unknown.

Or they fuck up, prick themselves with epinephrine, and die (or at least not have a very good time).

We're already not free to walk around without papers for certain activities. Entering a bar, buying restricted substances (including some medication!), driving a car, leaving and entering the country, etc. None of that means we're

So I still think we should have Voter-ID, but I don't think we're ready for it yet. My arguments for: First, don't people have to register to vote in most places? I don't see how bundling your Voter-ID acquisition with r

I agree with the infeasibility of switching out batteries, but saying it isn't necessary? 30 minutes is a /long/ time. It takes like 2 minutes to go from 0-100 with gas.

Why? There's going to be 6.2 million of them. Who's going to want to buy them? And more importantly, who's going to go through the trouble of keeping them and selling them for any kind of minor profit?

> This is so weird, why would anyone redeem them? I'm confused, you would keep it? It's just a buy-one-get-one-free campaign.

For the SF locals, it's usually democrats vs democrats, so party affiliation doesn't really matter. Because of this, inucumbents are much more easily voted out of office on the supervisor level (which is where this is coming from)

I think the idea is that it's still a local business that handles it. And it's locals who are hired to prepare the food, just like a local restaurant.

Curiosity has had wheel problems going back to at least 2014, so I wonder if the slower speed is partly due to that.

Who are the people that actually care about all this? I've yet to find anyone who cares that someone leaves early or stays late or stays just for the meal or whatever. The only thing people seems to care about is, very reasonably, outp

I have problems in a lot of languages copy-pasting code (why are the line numbers being copied!?), but yes this is another problem for this specific language.

The indentation should be almost the same as any other language. Unless you have an aversion to consistent code-style. Python whitespace was only annoying for me years ago when it still had trouble handling tabs and spaces in the same file,

I'm pretty happy with mine. Ports were annoying until tech caught up (yubikey was awful until the usb-c version came out, for example). My esc key has been caps-lock for the past like 6 years, so that isn't an issue. (HIGHLY recom

It should be understood by the employees. I joined a Big-whatever company because of the stability. If I was going to join a small startup, I'd be aware of the instability. That doesn't mean it isn't bad to lay people off in

Yeah and for last mile lines it makes complete sense, no problems there. It just seems crazy that a utility pole holds a massively important link between two cities. But I guess that's just how it is.
