e: ^^^^ yeah yes. if you click the button it works fine. if you scroll manually, it stops to load new things several times after you reach what you think is the top. maybe if you have a super duper internet connection it isn't as obvious but regardless it breaks the mapping people already have with "when it stops scrolling, you are at the top"

communism doesn't work because people in general are greedy and the people in charge are especially greedy and gently caress it up for everyone. this is also the reason that capitalism doesn't work, incidentally.

hobbesmaster posted:a plane with the same capabilities of an f-22 without a pilot is going to cost the same as an f-22 with a pilot, how hard is that to understand yes thanks for that brilliant insight a plane doesn't need to have the same capabilities as an f-22 because the f-22 itself is doctrinally unnecessary. you can put up a drone loaded with ten amraams and the same radar set and have 95% of the functionality. a plane that can sustain 9g is not going to significantly improve the odds of a hit with a missile that's capable of 40g

the chinese air force is mostly sitting at a 1960s-70s level of technology right now, with a few things comparable to the f-15c (ie the usa's last generation air superiority fighter) and they only have one partially functional aircraft carrier that they bought from the russians. they aren't a threat to the usa.

i think it would be cool if the chinese marines got themselves some fixed-wing jets like our marines have, just for the novelty of hearing a newscaster say "the people's liberation army navy's army's air force"

i'd like to cite an author who, i feel, makes my point very effectively:quote:You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. Men, we need to control the bullets, that’s right. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bullet… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders. (Rock, C. 1999)

i'm not really convinced that wearing a google glass gives you brain tumors (that would be fine though) but lol @ everything else, particularlyquote:the cumbersome battery packs the officers needed to wear to keep the devices running for more than a few hours. and quote:the device either misidentified innocent people as criminals or completely missed faces that had been entered into the database dozens of times.

maniacdevnull posted:yeah i agree they'll never be good at chess either what i'm more interested in is what happens when one of the critical data sources suddenly disappears -- eg. a plastic bag blows around and gets stuck on the lidar unit, rendering the vehicle blind in rush hour traffic. neither continuing forwards, stopping dead, or gently slowing down is going to solve every possible situation, and i doubt you could get a zoned out/texting/sleeping occupant woken up and controlling the car in manual mode fast enough. (note that google's current prototype, the one that looks like  , actually has no manual controls at all)the lidar also costs $70,000 iirc so these cars aren't quite mass market ready yet. also unfortunately, process airbag.exe has stopped, etc. Shifty Pony posted:out vision is also the product of millions of years of strong evolutionary pressure resulting in a pretty finely honed ability to pick out motion or "strange" shapes/patterns because any of our ancestors that were bad at that got eaten. i'd like to see an fmri or pet study done on someone driving down the highway past a speed trap. i bet that someone seeing the characteristic features of a crown vic in the distance generates exactly the same activation pattern in the exact same brain areas as an ancient hunter gatherer spotting a tiger in the grass
