LEO with a bad reentry is fine.

"We can have Canada as a 51st state!"

"Now we're down to 49 states, you dumb ass."

Humans are terrible. The human eyes and brain are good at detecting certain things though that allow a reaction where computer vision, especially only using one method of detection, fails often. There are times when an automated system will prevent a problem before a human could even see it. So far neither is the clear winner, human driving just has a legacy that automation has to beat by a great length and not just be good enough.

On the topic of human drivers, I think most on the road drive reactively and not based on prediction and anticipation. Given the speed and possible detection methods, a well designed automated system should be excelling at this. It costs more and it more complex to design such a thing, so we're getting the bare bones of the best minimum tech can give us right now, which again is not a replacement for all cases.

If there were stats on emoticon usage, this one has to have skyrocketed straight up.

The second part really wasn't needed, NYT, but thanks. Unless it's a standard now to add that to the end of anything he says.

Hope he gets cornered in an alley by a bunch of retirees. And has a quiet discussion about the damage he's doing.

I had heard over the years that it wasn't that bad of an EV. Sounds a lot like the story of Saturn and GM. Kill a car that's actually popular because someone on the board wants to go a different direction.

"This? This is ice. This is what happens to water when it gets too cold. This? This is Kent. This is what happens to people when they get too sexually frustrated."

That would be a crime. I know, (R) beats any consequences of doing illegal things.

The one dependable thing has always been that all models end up underestimating results. "Worse/faster than expected" was never funny, but now it's so cliche that I don't even see it mentioned much anymore.

My kids are very literate. :D Maybe because it's such a drawn out word it stood out to him and he mimicked it. I don't know.
