The question is, is Tesla FSD's record better, worse, or about the same on average as a human driver under the same conditions? If it's worse than the average human, it needs to be taken off the road. There are some accident statistics available, but you have to practically use a decoder ring to make sure you're comparing like to like even when whoever's providing the numbers has no incentive to fudge them. And I trust Tesla about as far as I could throw a Model 3.
On the other hand, the average human driver sucks too.
It's Complicated. The short version is, acute care (hospitalization and such) is covered by the government. Chronic care is not covered. Traveling to another location for treatment that isn't available locally effectively isn't covered (Ontario has a joke of a reimbursement system that will give you back maybe 10% of what you spent if you're lucky, not sure about other provinces). Medication is covered only for some segments of the population (now starting to expand to the entire population for certain types of drugs). Dental is now covered for some segments of the population, but not all. Vision care has never been covered, except for the elderly. Prosthetics and assistive devices are mostly not covered (some of the most basic things may be, but not, for instance, powered wheelchairs). And there's some variation from province to province, because health care is a provincial responsibility.
You can be bankrupted by needing to travel for care or needing expensive meds, in other words, but you won't have to pay if you're in a car accident and get taken to the local hospital.
So your excuse is, "War crimes committed in the past in other places like Afghanistan and Korea were not called 'genocide' or properly prosecuted, so we should ignore these ones too and not call a spade a spade?" That's . . . pretty sad. Some of us would actually like the international community to learn from mistakes made in other conflicts.
Dude. Indiscriminate murder of, and depraved indifference to the survival of, civilians is a bad look no matter what word you use for it. It's pretty clear at this point that the current government of Israel would like to see all Palestinians dead, and is willing to act on that desire whenever they think they can get away with it. That's what makes it (attempted) genocide. The fact that they're currently not attacking the West Bank and not making sure they get 100% kill count in Gaza is not the point and has more to do with plausible deniability than anything.
Whether never being born is or is not better than a brief and miserable life is the kind of thing philosophers like to argue about—a question to which there is no generally accepted answer.
According to TFA, "a marine ecologist for Fisheries and Oceans Canada" said it "contains no biological material", which would rule out the most usual globster suspects (rotting whale chunks), and presumably most foodstuffs (so it isn't actually dough). Someone else tested it and discovered that it was not a congealed petroleum-based lubricant or fuel. That leaves a lot of possible suspects. My guess at this point would be a chemical product that was jettisoned by some dishonest corp as being contaminated or unfit for purpose, and broke up into chunks in the water. 🤔
Taiwan has urged its citizens to “avoid non-essential travel” to the mainland as well as Hong Kong and Macau after China unveiled guidelines in June detailing criminal punishments for what Beijing described as diehard “Taiwan independence” separatists.
I'm surprised that hasn't always been the recommendation—it isn't like Taiwan has had a good relationship with China since the establishment of the two countries' current governmental setups.
Linux users are hard for using a terminal when they could just open a document in a text editor.
The command line is always there and always has the same basic tools, assuming the system is bootable at all. You can't guarantee that a given system has a working GUI—it may be broken, inaccessable, or never installed. Having some kind of TUI editor installed is usual on non-embedded systems, but you can't guarantee which one or that it's fit for purpose (coaching a newbie through a vi session isn't something anyone wants to do). That means that the generic instructions that get passed around because they're fit for most systems (regardless of distro or purpose) use the command line tools.
So there is method to the madness, but if you're coming from a "GUI or bust!" OS it can take a while to get used to.
There's no "may" about it. The Ars Technica article indicates that the Internet Archive's front page was (briefly) altered in addition to the account data being stolen.
It's a cat. It got curious about the inner workings of a satellite and stayed there past liftoff to investigate. And now it's acting silly in front of the camera in the hope that the servant monkeys back on the ground can figure out how to send it a zero-G litterbox and a bag of Cat Chow.
Bet that by "average" they mean "mean", when the median would really be a more useful measure in this case (as it often is with anything to do with wealth).
Yeah, the takeaway from this is, "We need some public service announcements about bats," and "The healthcare protocol needs to be updated so that a shot is given if a bat is found in a room where someone was asleep or otherwise may have been bitten without being conscious of it," not "These are bad parents."
Hmmm. I wonder who is making so much money off this that the project is willing to push them into forking it . . . ?
