Good luck suing the manufacturer if they have explicitly rejected responsibility. This is what I have been saying for 10 years. You will know when that the era of AV has arrived when manufacturers start accepting liability. Maybe once there

I think the point is that we are no longer in the world of Netflix in 2015, where all shows are available. Even if you watch « only » 5 shows, if they are on five different services then that means 5 subscriptions. Or you spend time plannin

Is that not precisely the point of the current discussion? Currently, the manufacturer is not liable. The liability can not be delegated by the driver.

Criminal liability aside, if I am in a wheelchair all my life, requiring expensive medical care, someone will need to pay for that. So civil liability will need to be sonewhere.

That second accident looks like it could be one on those typical cases of SDC causing accidents by behaving unexpectedly (like braking for a pedestrian where human drivers would have denied right of way) I havent read the doc and I am not a

Classe Préparatoire. When you quit kindergarden and enter ‘real school’. Age 6 I guess it is meant as hyperbole, though I read NRC, Le Monde and NYT and can confirm that le Monde is the leading newspaper of France but it is not the newspape

They live closer by? So less miles travelled, and in many cases travelled by train? Depending on how you generate electricity that works out quite differently. Went to Venice by night train 15 years ago, would definitely recommend. Converse

They dont put it on the ballot because it woulndnt work. Those fortunes are not liquid, but stuck in stocks. There is no market to buy all of Amazon, or all of Tesla. Not at the current valuation. You can take their fortune, but you cant sp

I can pretend to be someone with authority? (bank, policy, whatever) If the system becomes unavailable, then that's a huge issue? Any system that is that widely anchored in society is a valuable target.

my layman understanding, a real statistician will surely intervene. standard deviation is a measure that informs about the distribution. A high standard deviation means a "wide bell curve". A low standard deviation means that all

While this is true, allow me to give another POV. I run corporate security and internal IT for a 100 person SaaS. I "nudge" our users towards Chrome. Why? Because I can manage Chrome using the config infrastructure provided by Goo

The day they introduced non smoking (late nineties?) a friend of mine found out as the aeroport. He made a big stink, canceled his ticket and booked a new flight for Amsterdam - NYC with the only company still allowing smoking: Aeroflot. He

agreed. The problem is, often, when you can have "for free" something that is "good enough", you stop looking for better. 40 years ago, there was a market for: * newspapers * cameras * navigation tools * HiF

Well if one would get theological about it, I do believe they were given the land and then expelled by god. The Bible is quite explicit on that point. I don’t remember seeing the memo that god gave “back” the land, so logically speaking the

That would work if obesity levels increased equally across the globe. But even if obesity does increase globally, there are very wide disparities. Contrary to popular belief, there US is not the world.

There's a pattern where criminal organizations fill governance gaps rather than starting as genuine governments. The Yakuza did this opportunistically at certain historical moments. Hamas is a similar example (not a criminal organisati

my more generous interpretation of the situation is that people do not see the work / effort / complexity of operating a solution. They think that open source is free, when in reality it is cheaper (generally) but not free. You ne

In France I see (and hear) more and more use of a special type of warning device, "le cri de lynx" that reduces sonic pollution by building sites. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BljL3XO0fyg&pp=0gcJCTIBo7VqN5t...
