teaearlgraycold Link ParentI think the real solution here is computer vision. They already have internal cameras. If they had infrared it shouldn’t be hard to detect warm liquid left behind.I think the real solution here is computer vision. They already have internal cameras.

I think we need to make major changes, and giving capitalism a definition that demonizes it makes it harder to implement those changes. This way we can talk about socialism without it being an opposition to capitalism. It’s rather an evolution. We simply move from reinvestment into enterprise by small groups of owners to reinvestment from the workers themselves.

The one leftists use is “Capitalism is a system where there is an ownership class and a working class. The workers are paid less than their labor is worth and the owners use their outsized share to maintain the system.”

teaearlgraycold Link ParentExactly. Same for programming. But going back to the first principles of computer science pedagogy and redesigning the curriculum is a lot of work. And in the process you'll need to figure out why...then design your assignments around that instead!
Exactly. Same for programming. But going back to the first principles of computer science pedagogy and redesigning the curriculum is a lot of work. And in the process you'll need to figure out why what we've been doing worked in the first place. So it could take years for a successful approach to emerge.

It seems easy to say that we're going to get at least a recession from the Trump administration's behavior. So it's better to hold cash in a savings account than invest in anything.

They already have a perfect safety record. And adding more people to the self driving team will have diminishing returns. It's easier to go wider and cover more edge cases without adding to communication overhead.
They're only in warm regions now. I suppose most of their efforts right now are on handling snow and ice.
