Cool, but I'm not clear why their next study is live vs placebo vs live vs the new style vaccine.

I wasn't trying to suggest that you are biased, only that I have no clue and so it is possible you are somehow unfairly doing something.

Human vision is very, very, very good. If you think a camera installed to a car is even close to human eyesight, then you are extremely mistaken.

Why are you trying to limit cars to just vision? That is all I have as a human. However robots have radar, lidar, radio, and other options, there is no reasons they can't use them and get information eyes cannot. Every option has limits.

And bullshit on you not being able to see the lights. They're specifically designed so that's not an issue for colour blind people

Some lights are, but not all of them are. I often say I go when the light turns blue. However not all lights have that blue tint and so I often cannot tell the difference between a white light and a green light by color. (but white is not used in a stoplight and I can see red/yellow just fine) Where I live all stoplights have green on the bottom so that is always a cheat I use, but that only works if I can see the relative position - in an otherwise dark situation I only see a light in front of me and not the rest of the structure and so I cannot tell. I have driven where stoplights are not green on bottom and I can never remember if green is left/right.

Even when the try though, not all colorblind is the same. There may not be a mitigation that will work from two different people with different aspects of colorblind.

I can see red clearly and so not sure means I can go.

I've only noticed issues in a few situations. When I'm driving at night and suddenly the weirdly aimed streetlight turns yellow - until it changed I didn't even know there was a stoplight there. The second was I was making a left turn at sunset (sun behind me) and the green arrow came on but the red light remained on so I couldn't see it was time/safe to go until my wife alerted me.

Cows are big and will accidentally kick you breaking ribs, or otherwise injure you. They are mostly safe, but there is a reason farming is one of the most dangerous jobs.

Anyone who has driven (or walked) into a sunrise/sunset knows that human vision is not very good. I've also driven in blizzards, heavy rain, and fog - all times when human vision is terrible. I've also not seen green lights (I'm colorblind).

like regulators not allowing dangerous products,

I include human drivers in the list of dangerous products I don't want allowed. The question is self driving safer overall (despite possible regressions like this). I don't want regulators to pick favorites. I want them to find "the truth"

Humans are terrible drivers. The open question is are self driving cars overall safer than human driven cars. So far the only people talking either don't have data, or have reason cherry pick only parts of the data that make self driving look good. This is the one exception where someone seemingly independent has done analysis - the question is are they unbiased, or are they cherry picking data to make self driving look bad (I'm not familiar with the source so I can't answer that)

Either way more study is needed.

I still want to know what happened to all the free trade Republicans of just 2 decades ago?

Ann reason you choose authenik? There are a nmber of options and I'm not sure why to choose one over the other.

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 6 points 5 days ago

Usually not. When they do it means a big storm overwhelms the sewage system and raw sewage is released someplace. Most places get a storm this big several times a year.

For people on septic systems it isn't unheard of for shows to bypass the septic system and go directly to the drain field - only water from your toilets and kitchens needs treatment (as a parent I can inform you kids sometimes poop in the tub so this is a bad idea). I've also heard of people diverting their shower to a tank that is then reused for flushing toilets - if you live where water is scarce this might be a good idea, but for most of us it isn't worth the costs.
