Comment Fool Proof (Score 1) 190

The old adage if you think your application is fool proof, set a fool in front of it and they will prove you wrong.
Same thing applies here.
I have driven many times in that area at night and people are idiots when it comes to crossing the street.
Drunk, not paying attention, not using cross walks. Arizona has one of the highest pedestrian deaths in the nation because of stupid people.
So if people are getting run over by humans on a consistent basis, it makes sense that a computer would run someone over as well.
This time the fool is in front of the car.

Comment Mixed Mode (Score 2) 222

I would love to see a mixed mode of self driving cars. When you enter the Interstate the computer takes over. This would make the Interstate much quicker and safer. When you exit the Interstate you have the option of taking back control or using automated mode. Interstate driving in large cities sucks. People are freaking idiots cutting in an out, no turn signals, looky looes., etc. I would gladly trust a computer over the idiot next to me on the Interstate.

Comment Social Workers (Score 1) 1023

What upsets me the most about $15/hour for fast food workers is that is more than we pay our social workers. Jobs that require a college education and help people. Any unskilled idiot who is willing to show up can work fast food, so why should they get paid more than other people who require college education and intelligence?

Do you not understand that under the category of "extreme" is "extremely good"?

Moderation is the mixing of poison and food..

Moderation is making a dam only moderately strong.

Moderation is a 747 pilot who's only moderately sober.

Drinking Alcohol (a poison) with dinner is moderation.
Building a dam moderately strong to specifications and not ruin the surrounding area due to over engineer is considered appropriate..
Moderately sober 747 pilot, that would be a step up for the normally drunk pilot, right?
