Reconfirming my belief that slate is trash. First half of the article is “unfair! self driving cars need a marker on bikes because Volvo said so” second part is “Waymo is amazing and fixed it all” both equally devoid of actual content or in depth analysis.

a ton of media takes on self driving cars are basically public relations clickbait meant to resonate with american ideals of technological progress as being an unequivocal Good Thing watch people resist this idea in the thread dedicated to mocking technological progress

Doggles posted:You sure about that? Is that the lawsuit about if drivers should get 80% of the sales tax or not in new york? That seemed like probably not. Like that isn't normally how that stuff would work, if something was 1 dollar and then had 20% tax and someone wanted to split it 50/50 you couldn't give each person 60 cents and then create 20 more cents to pay the tax, you gotta calculate the percent then the tax.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Is that the lawsuit about if drivers should get 80% of the sales tax or not in new york? That seemed like probably not. Why didn’t you read the article to see it was something else before blathering on for two paragraphs? quote:For example, on February 2, 2017, Plaintiff drove an UberX passenger from 3408 Cherry Lane in Raleigh, North Carolina, to 101 Macaw Street in Raleigh, North Carolina. The passenger was charged $15.38. This is the Fare. The Booking Fee in Raleigh at the time was $1.80. So Dulberg should have made 80% of ($15.38 - $1.80) = $10.86. Uber is paying drivers off the estimated fare not the actual fare.

That quote doesn't specify where the discrepancy comes from at all, if it comes from "yeah that is the price with sales tax" then it is working the way literally everyone on earth would think it would work

Or still just too busy rushing to defend uber quote:"The theory is that the court should look closely at the terms of the agreement that Uber sends to the drivers, and see what it says about compensation; then make sure that Uber keeps to its side of the agreement," Miriam Cherry, a labor law professor at St. Louis University, emailed Ars. "The drivers here seem to be alleging that there are two ways to calculate fares (estimated and actual), and that they are being paid on the lower number."

Absurd Alhazred posted:In non-Musk chat: He just lost his NLRB complaint; the lawsuit still appears to be pending. From the article it also appears that the person who they (Damore, et al) highlighted as harassing him and going unpunished... was actually punished. I can't imagine this will bode well for the lawsuit at large; especially since I cannot imagine Google would be quick to settle such a case rather than defending itself.

 imagine that face producing this quote:In addition to the Left’s affinity for those it sees as weak, humans are generally biased towards protecting females. As mentioned before, this likely evolved because males are biologically disposable and because women are generally more cooperative and areeable than men. We have extensive government and Google programs, fields of study, and legal and social norms to protect women, but when a man complains about a gender issue issue [sic] affecting men, he’s labelled as a misogynist and whiner[10]. Nearly every difference between men and women is interpreted as a form of women’s oppression. As with many things in life, gender differences are often a case of “grass being greener on the other side”; unfortunately, taxpayer and Google money is spent to water only one side of the lawn. lol just lol

duz posted:They'd have to find a new speaker to hide the latch behind. There's a very good reason engineers are traditionally kept far away from the public and final designs. Take the BMW i8, for example. It's engineered out the wazoo, but at no point were things like "must be used by humans" or "will be driven on the road" taken into account. Certainly "what if something goes wrong" was never even considered for a moment. For instance, the i8 has a pressurised fuel tank and no manual release for the filler cap. You must wait for the pressure to equalise on its own. This may take up to 5 minutes. Up to 15 with extreme weather. If you need to pop the hood, you will require two people, each working from opposite sides of the car. They must each pull on their respective release cords at the same time to release the hood. When opening the hood, both people must lift at the same time and by the same amount or the carbon fibre making up the hood will crack. After opening the hood you will find that there is no way to hold it open. BMW technicians recommend jamming screwdrivers into the struts. Really. The manual emergency exit controls for the doors, to be used in case of power failure, accident or And all of these things (and many more!) are not oversights which only came out after the car was released. They were, each and every one, by design. Engineers sat down and deliberately choose to take away control from the driver in a thousand little ways which probably look great on paper, but none take into account that, in the real world, things break. Here's a great youtube video of what I'm talking about. For several years you couldn't find it anywhere online because BMW was putting so much effort into getting it taken down. I heartily recommend watching just the first 30 seconds to see the emergency door release I was talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxe_b2GRwok
