Exactly. The Democrats have their own issues, but there is a difference between a candle and a burning house and the difference does matter.

I can't imagine either.

I'm sitting in a comfy chair reading a book and browsing Lemmy while I wake up. Denali, my big husky-mix, is lying in the chair next to mine doing pretty much the same. At least the reading part. Every time I go back to my book he leans his head over the chair arm so he can see my screen. We trade big yawns and occasionally lie back to rest our eyes. It's a very good way to start the day.

Usually water, but sometimes root beer. A lot of local microbreweries make their own and most of them are wonderful.

If they have to do it a second time, they aren't very good at it.

The claim is that the remote operators do not actually drive the cars. However, they do routinely "assist" the system, not just step in when there's an emergency.

I saw an article recently, I should remember where, about how modern "tech" seems to be focused on how to insert a profit-taking element between two existing components of a system that already works just fine without it.

This would be more impressive if Waymos were fully self-driving. They aren't. They depend on remote "navigators" to make many of their most critical decisions. Those "navigators" may or may not be directly controlling the car, but things do not work without them.

When we have automated cars that do not actually rely on human being we will have something to talk about.

It's also worth noting that the human "navigators" are almost always poorly paid workers in third-world countries. The system will only scale if there are enough desperate poor people. Otherwise it quickly become too expensive.

The masks tell the whole story. People with legitimate authority do not need to wear masks. Everyone involved knew this was a criminal act and wanted to avoid being implicated.

We're seeing a lot of masks on law enforcement and government agents these days. There's a reason.

It's probably better to know, but that thoroughly sucks. I wish you the best in getting it sorted out.

I customized several begleris with 550 cord, silicone bands, and silicone tape, all in interesting color combinations. It gives me something to do when my hands get tired from fidgeting with them.

This may be the least important area in which China is displacing the US.
