I've got a cheap chromebook I take when traveling with 32gb ssd... 4gb is a huge chunk of that. But it doesn't matter as it constantly complains to me about no space available.

We already have a republic. If we can keep it.

No, I don't think I will.


The nearest costco to me is an hour and half away. I've been in costco only once, and I guess I got it, but I also was like: do i need this? This year they're opening one nearby (~10mins). I have this nagging growing feeling of fear I will be joining.

Don't fear it. Join us. There's a real reduction in your cognitive load, honestly. It's nice.

The real hooking factor is when you go and recognize items you are already buying in other stores in smaller quantities for more money. Then you start branching out further still.

When full liability is put on the manufacturer, then we can talk about "cars driving themselves".

Mercedes-Benz accepts full liability when their Drive Pilot autonomous system is active.

I appreciate the link and information, but are you sure about that? I don't see or read anything about liability...

And footnote 2 on that page says:

2 DRIVE PILOT is an SAE Level 3 (conditional automated driving) system: the automated driving function takes over certain driving tasks. However, a fallback-ready user is still required. The fallback-ready user must be ready to take control of the vehicle at all times when prompted by the vehicle. Availability and use of DRIVE PILOT on freeways depends on options, compatible wireless networks, countries, states and relevant laws. Service subject to change at any time without notice. Mercedes me connect Terms of Use apply. Please refer to the Operator's Manual for additional instructions and limitations.


Yes, I'm sure about that. Mercedes-Benz accepts legal liability for collisions when Drive Pilot is active.

Thanks for your reply. In good faith, I will give some kudos to mercedes for accepting some liability in specific situations. However, I do not grant them full liability which is what I originally stated.

AFAICT from a public search, this is the current 'drive pilot' legal terms:

https://www.mbusa.com/en/legal-notices/drive-pilot

Section 5: "...the individual using DRIVE PILOT Subscription Services becomes the fallback-ready user". That is not full liability. Full stop. I will not use drive pilot.

Additionally:

Section 6: This is a legal arbitration clause. It's a red flag to me as I believe this is a move by the legal system to contractually operate outside of the u.s. constitution. I realize this is more a personal opinion, but, regardless, this will always be a barrier, for me, to what some in industry call "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)".


The "kill -1" is hilarious. I wouldn't use ubuntu for production for quite awhile while things shake out or, probably, never (since i don't use ubuntu).

*Working towards prosperity for everyone, empowering all people, and advancing science and technology are moral obligations for me.

How so? What is your theory of morality Sam? What I hear is Google: "Don't Be Evil".


Well, at least they realize they're hypocrites.
