As a Canadian I don't feel. I just expose facts and logic. (sorry for that)

Obama interfering with an Israeli Election is legal in the US.

(I think.. Why would US legislate about stuff happening in another country's election?) If they did make a law against it, then yes it would be illegal.
If they did not legislate, then it would be "unethical", but not illegal. Israel might have a law against it and it would be up to them to put pressure on the American government to stop.

"A 2016 study by Dov Levin found that, among 938 global elections examined, the United States and Russia combined had involved themselves in about one out of nine (117), with the majority of those (68%) being through covert, rather than overt, actions."

Russia, because yes Russia has a big probability of being the main actor here, don't care if a Donkey, an Elephant or the Easter Bunny is POTUS. They're playing a game and using disruption fits their goal.

I think the wrongdoings is that a UK company interfered with an US election.

The issue is that Palantir technology (and probably data) was used by Cambridge Analytica. And THIS is what's scary. A UK based control of a US "Weapon of Mass Disruption".

This guy has a few phones but I have seen worse pictures.

Trump was worth even less than 3% approval rating among the Republican voters two years before he was a candidate.

Your point?

1994 was a great year for new 3d games.
The game came out the same month as Doom 2.
There were also Descent, Under a Killing Moon and Magic Carpet that were released that year.

Lots of opportunities to miss that one but if you were an Origin fan at all, you could not miss System Shock.

The answer to life, the universe and everything is the ascii value of the asterisk.

And Douglas Adams knew that.

The ASCII code for * is 42. Everything is the answer to Everything.

Paperclips... Lots and lots of paperclips.

Is it Hotdog? Is it not Hotdog?
Now there is an app for it.
The Shazam of Food.

First book in an epic medieval fantasy.
It's good. Full of fun adventures.

Yeah, the cheque from Andrej Karpathy is in the mail. I hope it doesn't bounce.

Yep, I once built an unsupervised learning algorithm for discovering vulnerabilities in a network topology. It was always over 95% accurate with most errors being false positives. When I wrote it ten years ago nobody wanted it. Now they are all over it and very little of that code has changed since. The security admins just came around.

Well, you could be right or it could turn out that your town will just depopulate as people move to big cities to access the convenience of the new technology. FWIW I live in a rural town myself. But I don't kid myself about where the world is heading.

I guess we are just going to have to wait and see, aren't we? Here why I believe you are totally incorrect with your prediction. Software companies want autonomous cars to happen, car companies want autonomous cars to happen, logistics companies REALLY want autonomous freight. It's only a matter of time. And your proverbial family of four or their relatives will be appeased with a five million dollars lawsuit settlement and the whole thing will proceed anyway because that's what the big money wants. As for the tech itself, you should pay more attention to where the research is. scene recognition is at near human levels already and in many cases at superhuman levels. A couple more years of hardware and software progress and humans will be no match for a self driving car in terms of safety and efficiency. None of the latest systems are hardcoded in any way. They are _trained_ on millions of hours of safe human driving data and they are getting better every hour of every day. How many hours of driving experience have _you_ logged in your lifetime?

Correct. And the fact that we are technologically on the cusp of cracking this means we have AI that is on the cusp of automating a shit ton of other stuff. The future I'm painting may not materialize for another two, three decades what with the red tape and the cultural shifts. But it WILL come. Probably within my lifetime and I'm not spring chicken.

The world will change whether people who enjoy driving like it or not. Just like nobody today insists on riding in an assisted elevator those people will have to adapt. Over time the pressures of technology will make human driven cars more expensive to own because of the higher insurance rates, having to add more mechanical steering components etc. Even just individual vehicle ownership may become very expensive because car sharing services will likely become extremely prevalent and efficient. Owning a vehicle outright will make very little economic sense. There will always be a market for manually operated cars but those cars are likely going to get relegated to race tracks and that market will probably be as big as the market for chariots today. And yes, chariots are still a thing and there is a chariot racing track not far from my place. And it's being used daily. But needless to say the people who go there don't ride chariots to the office in the morning.
