oh also re: tipping in traffic

how will that work with no charge backs

if I'm in front of you and you give me a quarter to let you pass, I can always not let you pass and, knowing you're in a rush, extort you for more tips

alternately, if you're supposed to tip after I cede the lane, what recourse do I have if you just don't pay me, or if youre double spending your coins up and down the highway

no see its all automated, when your self driving car gets pennies thrown at it it automatically cedes the lane

meaning the obvious scheme is to get a fleet of cars and have it clog up the interstate until it gets enough tips to turn a profit

well if they're perfectly driven cars with traffic logic and poo poo, nobody would be driving in the passing lane. because it's the passing lane. but also if they're all computer driven wtf they'd all be going the same speed in theory

I think the real problem with self driving cars is that either everyone will have to use them or nobody will use them, cause a computer isn't gonna be able to anticipate and improvise around the behavior of a bunch of idiot humans

I don't see the problem, all we need is for a strong central government to coerce everyone into adopting self-driving cars, and robust regulations to ensure those cars are all programmed to tip fairly and not extort each other

and then finally we can live in a libertarian paradise!

even if it worked perfectly, it incentivizes creating traffic jams. and not just by one car, a whole fleet of self-driving traffic jammers creates a rolling barricade at rush hour, letting only the highest tippers through.

don't worry, the road, being a rational actor, would discourage this behavior by requiring higher tolls for cars with scammer tags

if it colluded with the scammers, the invisible hand would provide another road

gently caress those feminist bitchez, they can act offended as much as they like. So they can go on the beach half naked, but when someone puts that on a shirt it becomes offensive. gently caress that double standard.

Done. Edit : I sent a coffee, but he doesn't have an account yet. And maybe he doesn't check his Twitter at the moment due to the heat.


[–]Renben9 1 point 2 hours ago*

It is done. Holy poo poo, nobody should ever feel bad for liking guns and hot girls.

Edit: He should have said something like that, instead of apologizing:

Oh, so you object to my shirt? Well, let me see if I care… Nope, sorry. I don’t. You want to know why? Because this is America and even though it may not seem to be lately, it still is the land of the free. You miserable “liberals” don’t get to dictate who wears what, and what is okay to like and what not. If you want to live in a place where everything must be approved beforehand by good for nothing control freaks like you, move to France and get told what to do, what to say, what to eat and how to wipe your own rear end 24/7 there. Here we like fast cars, loud guns and hot girls. Now, if you still have a problem with that, I recommend you go to the next Starbucks and have nice, hot, 7 dollar latte and blog about how oppressed you are on your 2000 dollar Macbook. Meanwhile, I’m going back to putting robots on loving comets.

Then go out, move to America and work at NASA. This is how you lose competent people, Great Britain. All you are going to be left with, is worthless, social-narrative fitting liberal douches who'd rather blog about the environmental impact of space missions on the mating behavior of the blue-bellied swamp toad. The guys who actually do stuff will be gone.

Edit 2: I know he's not American. But the whole speech doesn't really work without the 'murrica thing. If someone could adapt that to "English guy living in the Netherlands", please do so... but nobody associates that with freedom.

edit: it should go without saying that the last two paragraphs appeared after someone pointed out that the guy lives in the netherlands and works for ESA

spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a month for a few months is probably actually required to pay developers to actually do the whole stupid project, and not just get jimmy the second year comp sci major as your project lead

Actually, if you could get all the vehicles on the road to be self operating and coordinate with each other we could have much higher speeds on highways and more efficient flow during high traffic volumes. This does require a centrally managed system with set standards and monitoring though, so the opposite of what is happening with Google

yeah basically. the ideal system would be a centralized traffic controller that knows everybody's destination and plans accordingly to avoid overloading certain routes, clean up jams, etc., but that's a terrible idea for so many other reasons that it'll never happen
