Was so disappointed to learn that there was only 1 anime of this. Pretty damn excited to see the movie. Odds are against it being good, but I really like the two main actors shown so...
Not sure why people blame the scooter companies for terrible human beings who throw them in lakes, trash cans, etc.
Root cause = don't be a douche. They're super cheap and great over distances in between the break-even point of too long to walk, too short to drive, which in an urban area like...
Standard operating procedure. To do business in China you must "partner" with a Chinese company first.
What does the "partner" do? Not a goddamn thing, other than stealing your IP.
Is it journalism being selective? A quick google search turns up multiple hits in regards to other automakers. It isn't the journalists, it's the fining governments.
It's why MS and Google gets billions in fines in Europe, and BNP Paribas and Volkswagen gets billions in fines in the US.
Agree. Maybe Musk should spend some more hands-on time at Tesla instead of reading the news and tweeting all the time.

More like trickle-up economics. They let the lesser-well off small businesses run at a loss and go bankrupt while they book profits.
$300k is a garbage margin on 40 trucks and what, 60 employees? And that's the best case scenario that they're presenting in order to sell this, so you know that...
There was an article in the WSJ I believe talking about the same thing. Construction companies in Chicago or something, that couldn't take on any more business because they couldn't hire workers.
But then in the same article, the same company who said they needed workers so bad because they...
Nothing says "legit" like needing to advertise on social media to keep the value of your product up. You don't see euros, dollars, yuan or pesos on there. Or advertising to purchase individual stocks, for that matter.
No toilets in a bot factory, and I bet without humans in the area high powered fans or pressure washers can just flush out the whole damn place whenever they need to.
I don't get the attitude that it's "entitlement" to feel that a full time job should be able to support a person.
Isn't it more "entitlement" to think that you have a legitimate business if your employees have to accept public benefits and welfare in order for your business to be profitable?
Market share is one thing. But despite only selling 18% of smartphones, Apple makes 87% of all smartphone profits.
Samsung has a market share of 18% as well, but only makes 10% of global smartphone profits. That's a pretty incredible difference, damn...
Theres wummins in my game where I immediately respawn after dying and can heal myself 20 times from bullet wounds in 10 seconds! The insults to history, the lack of realism! :rolleyes:
Dunno. I have to imagine videos of that length have to be an extremely low percent of videos posted on Facebook. Couple the time of the movie + millions of views, seems like a pretty basic check to have in place that wouldn't generate a huge number of false positives.
But what do I know about...
Give me a break. You don't think the level of homelessness, or rents being too damn high for people we need to live here to do vital jobs (teachers, police, firefighters, etc) isn't a crisis?
Only 28% of California households could afford to purchase the median priced home. That's simply...
I'd disagree with that to some extent. You look at the economic performance of the non-coastal states and it hasn't been good; the countries being hollowed-out, essentially, due to a lack of quality jobs in the middle. Sure you can move to a cheaper area, but even with the cheaper cost of...
While I agree people should move, it's a bit more of a complex problem. Small-mid sized companies continue to go out of business, while larger conglomerates make up more and more of the job market. The old adage about small businesses being the major job creators in this country isn't true...
Not only is the California market incredibly expensive, it's incredibly competitive. Low down payments, mortgage assistance, etc, all lower the probability of you even getting an accepted offer, even if you want to throw away thousands on PMI. The Bay Area, the most expensive housing market in...
I think there is a huge difference in a random bear attack happening in the woods to a hiker vs what occurred here - man was warned by friends to not approach not just a bear, but an injured bear, to take a closeup selfie with it. I see no inherent difference to that and purposefully jumping...
Or is post about how much he charges a pump and dump scheme of his own; giving the impression that people are paying him these ludicrous sums for tweets he's made in the past, to try and lure some sucker in to pay him in the first place?
I wonder how much of that is self-selection of the drivers of such vehicles vs the vehicle type itself. Purely anecdotal, but it seems that SUV and pickup drivers often drive faster and more aggressively than even the average sports coupe, with a much longer stopping distance and higher center...
Gotcha. Yeah, don't disagree with that. But I don't think the goal is no deaths; I think the goal is significantly lowering the current human accident rate. I don't think we're there yet with automated, but I hope we can get there.
However, the "edge" cases in driving loom pretty large.
I can see it now.
"It was merely coincidence that several mail drones crashed directly into journalists critical of Putin last week, killing them, the KGB said."
Per passenger mile, mass transit is much safer. And ultimately looking at this chart, it's much safer to be a passenger in anything other than a passenger car or light truck - otherwise it's a pedestrian or another vehicle dying, not the passenger(s) in the measured vehicle. :wideyed:
Yes, because clearly random kids on the internet are logically weighing the type of punishment they will get if they get caught.
Oh wait...they don't. So maybe stop the SWAT team from knocking down a land-owning (or renting) person's door who has constitutional rights to life and liberty -...
I'm not a huge fan of the device, but I don't think it's doing nearly as much as you think. It isn't making turns for you at all, it's using the machine learning to anticipate when you will make a turn, and use that moment to help you generate more power by pressuring against your shin bone and...
The default Volvo stuff was disabled; Uber's sensors and software package wasn't, and should have detected this.
Forget edge cases; this is a basic case that if this tech can't deal with 100% of the time, it isn't roadworthy.
I would hope, but have seen nowhere, that there could be some kind...
Found it interesting on Sniper Elite 4 how HUGE the maximum numbers spiked up to, but not having close to that significant of an effect on the average (although still a good bump in that game).
Wonder what it is about those scenes and Async that causes it to just kick ass with a nearly 50%...
I think this slide is different. What is telling to me is the plunge in transactions, both in BTC and ETH. I see a downward spiral; people won't trade unless prices increase but prices aren't going to increase unless more people are buying in, which there doesn't appear to be a good reason to...
