I assume this is referring to how Europe requires new vehicles be sold with automatic emergency braking. If we do reach a point where self driving systems consistently outperfom humans in term or safety, I would absolutely expect a push to

Your framing here is weird and doesn't match the facts. The airplane didn't want to do anything. Its pilots were following a mandatory company safety policy.

Flight plans get updated when plans are delayed on takeoff. SFO should have had the arrival time from the updated flight plan for quite a while.

Lobbyists may engage in PR activity, but that does not make PR activity lobbying. Lobbying has a pretty clear definition which you are trying to stretch here. Let me put it this way: Airing an ad about a government rep or piece of legislati

by shkkmo 3y ago
Advertising is PR, not lobbying. Lobbying often involves implicit or explicit offers of campaign funding, PAC support/opposition, and gifts that skirt the edge of what is legally bribery.

Genetics account for roughly half of the variation of intelligence between individuals. That leaves a ton of room for other factors, such as nutrition, health, and education, to create significant disparities.

Multiple backups are significantly easier with 50gb that with 250tb. Additionally, any external drives he had were seized by the FBI so he would have needed two cloud backups.

And in this case, that amount is an order of magnitude lower that what the service cost to provide. It seems odd that after underpaying by a lot for a long time, that the user would complain that they were given 2 months of free service and
