More hilarious jokes have never been told in history

Let’s see the lifestyles of the CEOs for Springer, Wiley, and Elsevier for comparison.

FBI be like:

I… don’t condone such behavior but I also don’t hate this idea lol

Better send it to collections and get debt collectors revved up because y’all ain’t gonna see a cent…

You haven’t done anything bannable, but they do also still think your takes are bad and misleading.

Mf has got “but I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!” energy in here

It worked, only because these men were only being creepy sexist pieces of shit and didn’t have worse intentions. Customer support according to this article has no control over the vehicle other than restarting the auto driving routines to make the car move again.

They have customer support that provides words of platitude, an ineffective police call with a 15minute response time, and no control over the situation. She got lucky this time, but my point remains standing.

Correct, next question.

Oh we should try to fix it for sure, I’m saying entering this into the courts with <2 weeks before early voting starts in Georgia and expecting the courts to get any kind of results or action out of the governor’s office in a timely manner is an exercise in futility. This stuff should have been forced thru the first week for September at the absolute latest.

The “hitting pedestrians” is an extreme hypothetical, and not one you should particularly get hung up on. But it is one that still has to be considered. Passive security measures only go so far for the passenger.

Realistically, a car can get out of a vast majority of situations evasively without hitting hostile pedestrians, such as reversing rapidly and then turning around or driving in an opposite travel lane to bypass the blockage. Or hopping a curb and using a sidewalk if it is not occupied (or just blasting the shit out of the horn if it is occupied). These are all things that waymo’s auto mode cannot and will not do, because it doesn’t have the reasoning to understand when such measures are necessary.

If a man jumps out in front of my car in traffic and points a pistol at me after I stop. I am going around or thru him and there is no other option. Anyone else trying to stop me even without visible weapons is going to get evasive maneuvers to protect myself because I am not dealing with that bullshit. That includes weaving far outside my travel lane or going over a sidewalk. That is self defense and a split second decision that any driver may have to make. Waymo prioritizes all outside obstacle avoidance which means it doesn’t even want to leave it’s set travel lane, which makes them trivial to stop like this with no recourse.

The point I am making is that self driving has a really hard time interpreting traffic edge cases or passenger emergencies like this. A remote operator could make the decision to drive over curbs and other lanes, if free, to save the passenger, and realistically should avoid hitting pedestrians too… but in the case of an armed attacker - well, yknow. Like force for like force.

Calling police would only be an auxiliary function to report the video evidence. They cannot be depended on to respond in time to actually make a difference.

Would a remote operator interpret things accurately in 10 seconds or less, or be a job anyone would even want? How does the liability chain of command work? Who knows. But the current system makes no decision at all, and that is unacceptable. And the medical point still stands too, a remote operator could immediately reroute the vehicle to a hospital and alert the medical staff. A panic button is absolutely needed.

These cars need to have a panic button that allows a remote operator to talk to the passengers, assess the situation, alert police and override the auto driving to get them out of bad situations. Same as an emergency call button on an elevator basically. I dont understand these cars to have any feature like that so far, and I’m assuming this woman would have used it if one was available, so please correct me if I’m wrong.

These cars are likely going to turn into hijack machines if they’re programmed for “maximum safety” in situations where, realistically, breaking every traffic law, hitting a pedestrian or causing damage to the vehicle through dangerous terrain may be the only way out with a living passenger. The second it begins to percolate among criminals that these things are super easy to stop at the perfect location of your choosing like this, they are going to become a massive target.

Or they turn into a hearse if the passenger has a medical emergency and the car doesn’t redirect while the passenger is incapacitated. They might be coherent enough to press a button, but not to open their phone, navigate the app, call for help or redirect the car to a hospital…

But that of course requires labor so it will not happen until legally mandated after a minimum threshold of people die.

Ken Paxton will sweep in at the last second, invalidate the exact number of ballots that Cruz loses by or will just remove entire polling stations, and nobody will do anything about it

She will get the same 3% she does every year, and it will be the same 3% that Hillary lost by in swing states in 2016.

This is way too late though. Courts are slow and nothing will possibly be implemented before the election, and if something is doen, republican will just spin it as “reeeeee liberals are rigging it !!!1!!1!” again and still try an armed insurrection.

And Nintendo fans will respond by obediently lining up to immediately buy the Switch 2 and every single re-re-re-rereleased game for it the second it launches.

Thank you for your service o7

Yeah, she’ll stop Kamala and hand it to Trump. Nobody is “flocking” to her.

They’ve also changed display names a minimum of 6 times in that time frame. I wonder why.

Your first mistake was discussing on .ml.

Ml is a shithole. But the flexibility and true freedom of the Fediverse is you are free to not use instances with shitty tankie admins and mods. You can move your account and community subscriptions over to any other instance.
