One of the few scenarios that smart bulbs instead of smart switched make sense.

They were caught turning it off a split second before most crashes, and then stating something like "the auto pilot was not engaged". In many cases it was, less than a second before the crash, though. They has now started asking if it was engaged so many seconds before a crash (e.g. 10 seconds, but cannot find the exact time).

>In the conditions you have driving, you have to throw out any measurement of something not moving, such as that parked firetruck and mark it as invalid.
That should depend on where it is. Is it on the side of the road? Not an issue. In my lane? Real issue.
It is telling that no other self driving tech is having trouble with this. Everyone else has this figured out.

Possibly, but they have had several incredible people leading the program. It probably comes down to Musk insisting they do it with cameras only. Everyone else also has LiDAR.

How would you regulate this and still allow innovation to happen? People voluntarily put their money at risk. I believe they are taking a wait to see what happens before deciding what regulation is appropriate.

Reply to comment by nazerall in Austin’s city manager fired over widespread power outages by Sebekiz
City managers are in charge of backups. Most cities have power loops that allow them to feed area from more than one way. If a transformer is blown or a storm takes our power lines, they can feed most areas from alternate paths. Obviously a small neighborhood will go down, you cannot add redundancy everywhere, but most areas stay up. Apparently this is not common in many Texas cities like it is in most of US.

We do not have public transportation. It is the same reason the legal drinking age in the US is 21 instead of younger like most other countries. If you go somewhere, you have to drive.

On a same note, we need to give the majority of flood planes back to the rivers, at least in rural areas, and stop rebuilding buildings below sea level.

Reply to comment by adarkmethodicrash in Oregon city drops fight to keep Google water use private by ChocolateTsar
If that is true, then it would be possible to cool in other ways. A massive air cooler would work, but probably so big it would not be practical. Power plants build a lake. They then pump water from the lake, cool, then return the warm water to the lake. At least her in KS, the fish and the fishermen love it.

I generally agree, but in most of the east half of the US there is not a water shortage. Some courses pull from the lakes on the course as well.

Spending is split. Inflation is hitting lower middle class and poor people hard. They have reduced spending. But upper middle class and wealthy have increased spending.

It is common for first responders to have mental health issues. They try to save the dying. They see the maimed bodies the rest of us are spared from. And in most places they do not make great wages.

The publishers are making it near impossible to sell used textbooks, period. Most come with a one use code. If it doesn’t, they put a new edition out every few months so that used books are worthless. It is an oligopoly that the government should step in and regulate.
