Airplane auto-pilots are very primitive compared to the what's going on in self-driving cars. They require a lot of work by the pilot to operate and aren't making any difficult decisions. Obviously you want to be able to overwrite

Without reading the article I already have so many questions. Why all this speculation!? How many doctors who have learned how to cook does it need to test this hypothesis and aren't those easy to come about.

In what kind of parallel future are you? Thought we all realized an internet-enabled fridge was just an artifact of our internet-philia and past lack of imagination.

Tesla website is pretty clear who they market to. People who buy SUVs to feel safer. See HEPA filter mentioned as central feature. Also this is not a niche demographic. I would not be surprised if the majority of SUVs are commuting and shop

First time I have seen a HEPA filter as a central feature of a car. Tesla certainly understands the main reason people buy SUVs: feel safer

The function of Bitcoin goes beyond it's use. It's sending a very clear message to other forms of financial transaction to keep it simple and cheap. I think it delineates a threshold where no other financial transaction can go. I

About the experiment, how can Libet conclusively derive the decision came after the initial EEG measurement. I mean how did he know the duration it takes to report the decision. The origin of the decision to being able to reflect on it may

Not the same. Orthodontic procedures generally pay off in the long run. Straight teeth and an aligned bite are typically more functional. Straight teeth are easier to clean and preserve. In many EU countries health insurance pays for them b

The dichotomy is less pronounced than it appears. Architecture can be simulated with high accuracy without actually building the blueprints (actually 3D models). Software apps on the other side take considerable human resources to be tested

Same here, very functional but too cluttered. It feels messy even though technically it looks good. I have tried several times to get a group of people on it but failed because the UX was not met with love. This project could really take of

"That kind of stovepipe way of doing things isn't going to scale," It's amazing how many times this argument is made by proprietary systems people. In their world the web should have never happened. The only chance they

"only 27% of internet users are English-speaking." This metric has probably less meaning than it seems . How many of them are multi-lingual. What level of English-proficiency makes somebody English-speaking? What percentage of pur
