Re: Override Idiotic Wetware Drivers Option Please
Hm. At least two people on here have accumulated enough points through speeding to have lost their licenses, I see.

Mine is of a similar state, and it wasn't that it cheaper out, but that the system must accept inputs of wheel rotations, inertial sensors and steering angle etc etc to supplement GPS. At the time of manufacture (2006) there wasn't an alternative other than to design it yourself. I'm not sure even today that there's a commercial system that accepts and balances alternative positional information.
Automatic Speed Limiters should be a new class of vehicle on the driving license, and anyone who loses their license for speeding should, once their ban is spent, ONLY be allowed to make use of that class.
Discuss this and the extension to full self-driving vehicles and implications of driving licences etc.
I think the figures are fairly impressive. It would be interesting to see how they correlate the the actual capability of the auto-drive itself. I mean, once every 5 miles on a motorway for a semi-autonomous lane-changer point-and-shoot system is good but then less impressive than, say, once every 0.5 miles by a full A-to-B sat nav style autopilot operating in a dense, urban jungle scenario with traffic lights every 50 yards, Lycra-clad couri-kazi pilots cycling zigzag between the gridlock, phombies walking across your path in full-on Oxford Street style and coping with a street scene having more visual clutter than the painted record of a fight between Jackson Pollock and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
That's chilling. Seriously bone chilling.
That's the ultimate corporate take on an integration of Human Resources and Customer Service. "The customer is the most valued item in the shop, and all negatives are turned into positives through the use of inspirational language".
Ha! I was thinking about the time it takes to hot swap a NVMe and rebuild... it brought to mind that episode where Data was brought in to rearrange the isolinear chips because he could do it faster. If they had to wait for the array to rebalance each time, the Enterprise would have been toast.
Yes, yes, it's not an absolute and explicit exemption from the Act in its entirety - the Act has derogations which allow a nation to exempt e.g. the enforcement of civil law matters, etc, and yes, this hasn't yet been tested by case law. The RVR 2002 hasn't been amended as part of the bill. Though some law about HGVs was. Weirdly.
I still have 5 Xserves going strong in my basement rack, one Intel, four G5. They are all stacked together in an NFS ring, and provide an Xgrid as well. They were absolutely incomparable at their heyday. A 1U chassis, with one or two of the most powerful CPUs around, easily serviceable modules... add to that hardware RAID, dual redundant PSU, dual homed, two expansion card slots. You simply couldn't get anything else that came close.
As for what the software is good for... well that was back in the days where Apple had an eye on education. I had three suites in a college of art & design, totalling 118 iMacs, where I could NetBoot a machine and restore it in a matter of minutes, could have roaming profiles, Remote Desktop and Support with two way chat and audio, license management and audit, policy zoning, default printer setting by machine or profile... I mean, it was an administrative dream!
I guess you have to sell a lot of hardware to make it worthwhile, hence the idiotic designation of the Mac Mini as a Server machine. The Xserve's 1U format was possible due to advances made in laptop design. It's time they started knocking the socks off other rack mount competitors using the same trick coupled with some of their mobile knowhow. Can you imagine what a server loaded with A10s could do, for example?
has now got this ear worming.
It think it is now worded slightly differently to when I first read it just after 7:30 this morning. I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect the author/editor has added a 12 in front of milestones, because it really looked to me like they added $50bn to $100bn and got $650bn. Stepping up by 50$bn is a single step. "In steps of $50bn" implies a size of increment, and "in steps of $50bn up to $650bn" indicates both the size of the increment and the number of increments. There is a time limit of 10 years, but the company could hit $650bn next week. I wonder if he would get all the individual bonuses if that were to happen? I mean, that would only actually HIT one milestone, although it would have exceeded all the others.
I think it would be better written as:
"But he can score bonuses in those 10 years if Tesla hits a series of 12 “Market Capitalization Milestones”, the first if the company increases in value by $35bn to $100bn, then in steps of $50bn up to $650bn.
McDonalds has a wall based terminal screen now, a bit like the ones at Argos... glossy catalogue... tap in the code for a supersize BigMac... tap in some more codes for the meal options... put in my bank card... receipt printed... Please collect your "food" at collection chute A.
What's happened to the server? Ah! They're now in the kitchen putting the little boxes all the same into the chutes.
Serverless.
Now, what have they done with all the straws?
