    Autonomous Systems

    Quite the opposite. They make money by betting on risk. If you still have to pay premiums on your car and autonomous driving inevitably diminishes that risk then it's all upside for them. Consumers should get a lower premium with autonomous cars as they start showing more improvements on...

    He saw gringos. In Brazil that means he can feed his family for the next six months if he acts quickly.

    Autonomous Systems

    It's not like they're gonna ban you bro. They'll just have "MEATBAG-ONLY" lanes where the speed limit is a slovenly 80mph and you have to watch people doing pilates or playing videogames at 150mph a couple lanes over.

    HAHHA the whole "BRICS" thing was fucking wishful thinking by butthurt neoliberals pining for a "post-American" multipolar world. In fact, the only worthwhile BRICS state has been the one that's been our Most-Favored Nation trading partner for four decades, and is thus co-dependent on our...

    Autonomous Systems

    Nah that's already reduced to an information-theory problem... once you can quantify every factor in an economic relationship, it becomes just another matchmaking application. That's probably why Uber is all over it. All it really comes down is whether the cost of subsidizing for someone's...

    Autonomous Systems

    You can already get a free cabride to any of the major tittie bars from anywhere in Vegas during certain hours. The principle already exists but those costs would have to be DRIVEN DOWN, they won't come down by themselves. It'll prolly be closer to getting free rides to a Best Buy during...

    Autonomous Systems

    The regulatory framework and the infrastructure is an absolutely necessary step for the adoption of autonomous drone delivery and eventually flying cars. FLYING CARS, MOTHERFUCKERS.

    Autonomous Systems

    That's all true and many jurisdictions are planning for autonomous-only lanes anyway. More importantly once the infrastructure and the regulatory framework for autonomous cars happen, it'll escalate as fast if not faster than smartphone adoption since it's utility is even more IMMEDIATE than...

    Bechtel used to have a shit ton of projects in Brazil but everything was so neck-deep in corruption and just outright thievery from locals that last I heard they'd bought out of everything except a subway project. That's BEFORE the bribery and pay-for-play rackets that rocked the country and...

    Whoa little salty there, Misty. Gingers don't have the shelf-life of blondes or brunettes, so I get your anxiety, but Winona Ryder is 44 and she's still quite smashable.

    Dude they went apeshit over Hope Solo tweeting a selfie where she's wearing mosquito netting. They'd chant "ZIKA ZIKA" when she was playing hahaha. They started booing other Americans with "ZIKA" chants at other events like beach volleyball too. LOL the whole country is butthurt for being...

    Rate Movies You've Recently Watched.

    Independence Day Resurgence: 7/10. I wasn't expecting more than a sequel to ID4 and.... I didn't get more than that. The CGI was improved but the script was not sooo it was pretty much what I paid for. The Nice Guys: 8/10. Fun movie but Shane Black's shtick is getting kinda old.

    Transport and logistics industry for now. Everyone who wants a flying car eventually. The only way the FAA will let you own a flying car, is if you're never allowed to pilot it.

    Why would they even go back there when there isn't any new content tho? Do they just log on and chill just to spite everyone? Is there new content? I haven't actually checked.

    It (2017)

    Beyond the costume his challenge is come close to Tim Curry's RANGE. Tim Curry could go from nyuk-nyuk clownshoes and drop a few decibels to a growling psychotic menace... the dude was pretty much perfect for the role. He supposedly immersed himself in videos and testimony from John Wayne...

    The Broken Empire Trilogy. Best series of all time

    The ending was kinda frustrating but most folks would have to admit the series itself was outstanding. There's a glut of good-to-decent fantasy out there and this still stands out regardless.

    Amazon Buys Curse gaming.

    Just about everything. They own mmo-champion, diablofans etc. They raised like 60 million in VC funding and used that fatten themselves up for a big buyout like this. Oddly enough, Twitch prolly wants them most for their "unionforgamers" content creator thing.

    What classic childhood movie would you like to be bastardized and remade by current hollywood.

    Armada is prolly a better fit for Last Starfighter reboot. I think they're already making a Ready Player One adaptation tho.

    The Crow (2019)

    This. If they remade it for a modern context the Crow would be some insufferably limp-wristed hipster CUCK who just sits there reliving his wife getting gang-raped all day while twangy singer-songwritery faggy folk music pollutes the soundtrack.

    What classic childhood movie would you like to be bastardized and remade by current hollywood.

    There's a hulu series coming out that's basically a riff of The Last Starfighter. But it sounds real gay despite the budget (it stars the guy who played Peeta in the Hunger Games). I still think they should reboot the script and make it about some aspie DOTA pro gamer who discovers that his...
