    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    I would say this depends on how automated the system is supposed to be. If the backup driver is only supposed to take over when the system tells them to or when/if the system fails then no, i don't think they're at fault. If the backup driver's job is to watch the road all the time as if they...

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    I can only assume a few things about the logic in a self driving car. Should object detection exist for objects outside the path of the vehicle? Should objects smaller than cars be detected and avoided when you're going past a certain speed? At what point do you estimate an object's relative...

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    First you'd have to provide proof that it wasn't the jaywalker's fault and the driver's fault. That doesn't seem to be the case here. Second you'd have to show this was a criminal offense. I don't think that's the case here either. The only other issue is insurance for cases like this, and...

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    Well it's because you seem to be a royal dick. I only assume that spills over on your driving skills as well. And headlights have a fairly high drop off for illuminating things that aren't directly in front of the car. She started crossing the road only seconds before the crash and wasn't in...

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    If i'm on a highway at night, the last thing i'm thinking about is trying to avoid people who are walking right in front of my car. That's not a place to cross, that was an extremely dangerous maneuver that the person did that ended up costing her life. I'm happy to assign blame to uber and...

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    A lot of cars differentiate between automatic collision avoidance with other cars and pedestrians. Thus leading up to this hilarious video:

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    II'm fairly sure that different sensors are used for different object detection at different speeds. I probably have a lot more driving experience than you. Feel free to take a look at the video, the person wasn't visible until the last 2 seconds. From :03 to :05 when the crash occurred...

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    It was a homeless woman who probably wasn't all ok in the head. I doubt she was using common sense safety awareness while crossing a highway at night walking a bike.

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    How? It's dark, you're traveling at speed limit, suddenly you see a flash in front of you. I guess swerving off the road and getting yourself killed is an option, maybe slamming on the brakes (she would have died even if it did slow down for the 10-15 feet she was visible, i don't think it...

    Video Released of Uber Self-Driving Car Accident

    Would a non-self driving car strike the person in the video under these circumstances? I'm willing to bet yes since it was in the dark, they were in a 2 lane road with no traffic going at around 40 mph. The woman doesn't seem to be crossing anywhere she should be and wasn't wearing reflective...

    Oculus GO Will Use Foveated Rendering to Save GPU Power

    So basically you get more of a goggle effect and less immersion. Can't say i'm surprised from a mobile vr set that's powered by a cell phone cpu.

    Epic Gives Away $12M Worth Paragon Assets for Free

    EA Doesn't make most of it's money by leasing out it's game engines like Epic does with it's unity engine. I'm not saying it's not a good thing to release those assets, i'm just saying it makes total sense for them to do this.

    Epic Gives Away $12M Worth Paragon Assets for Free

    I disagree with the premise that it's more polished. Minecraft is a 3d voxel game in which you can deform the ground and build up. In fortnite, you cannoit deform the ground and basically dig. This makes it a lot easier to work and allows for better graphics. You calling it a more polished...

    Epic Gives Away $12M Worth Paragon Assets for Free

    Look. Pubg + lightversion of minecraft is still a pubg clone. Everything about survival mode screams pubg. Even how you start out in a field, then get loaded onto a plane of sorts (blimp plane thing) to parachuting down, to having to search in houses for weapons, to supply drops to the...

    Bitcoin and Money Laundering on Trial California

    It should count as income, just like if you sell something to a friend. You're supposed to pay tax on it, but lol, yeah right almost no one reports that kind of stuff on income if it's below 1000$. If you're making huge amounts of money no matter what means, the gov always wants a cut.

    GeForce Game Ready Driver 391.24 Released

    Hey I agree, but every streamer and their moms are playing this game before it was even available. 60$ is a lot to pay for a game that doesn't leave very much to the imagination because it's all been seen before.

    Bitcoin and Money Laundering on Trial California

    ??? I'm not quite sure i get the implications. I feel as if this is being conflated to hide this guys other crimes. Buying and selling virtual crap is something anyone can do. How is that even up for discussion on how the federal government views it?

    Epic Gives Away $12M Worth Paragon Assets for Free

    Lol. I guess Epic's strategy besides the unreal engine is to create clones of existing games. Paragon never stood a chance against league, but fortnite being free is actually competing against pubg.

    Ok? I have no problem with this either way. It's inevitable that this technology already exists to doctor photos and videos, the difference is that it's becoming a lot easier to create. This was probably a hugely manual process, now it's mostly automated. It's funny that it's used for pr0n...

    Tech Giants Set to Face 3% Tax on Revenue under New EU Plan

    I have no problem with this. Why should american companies be tax sheltered in ireland or wherever and not pay taxes in the US? They were playing games, sometimes they'll get burned. Thanks to the EU for (possibly) reining in the companies back where they belong.

    NY Municipalities to Charge Miners More For Electricity

    I'm not going to do this personally, i'm saying someone could make an LLC and make this all legit. Leasing equipment on contract. Just like a solar company does with equipment they put on your roof then they lease it to you. You get a discount on electricity, they get the solar credit and...

    don't put it in a standard pc box, put it in a steel box with intrusion detection and a cell card that has gps installed. The idea isn't to give them some computer and let them chuck it to the pawn shop, the idea is to run a distributed mining operation utilizing at a discount electricity...

    Another Government Employee Caught Mining Crypto With Government Equipment

    how did he convert company property into his own? He never took it home and or used it outside of work and or sold it to make himself money. He used it in a manner that created money for himself.

    NY Municipalities to Charge Miners More For Electricity

    I'd say establish an agreement with the welfare recipients, set up mining equipment in their house and you pay them for the electric and a fair rental fee, distribute the electric load for your operation and reap in the benefits. This is just stupid to target commercial operations considering...
