Right, I wasn't expecting it to read road signs. I guess I was assuming there'd be things along the way it should react to. I used to see subaru aeb testing done with a traffic cone. But, with no details, I should be assuming anything about the presence of objects prior to hitting the people. The Mark Rover video showed the autopilot will continue anyway once the "object" is no longer in sight of the system

It could have been a single intersection. The article has no useful info. Somehow, the car entered a space where people were standing/laying still stargazing, so, presumably, not the middle of the road. I have definitely seen some more rural areas use both a stop sign and a flashing red light overhead. Sometimes an all-way stop, sometimes one road has a flashing yellow to take the right of way. A leg of a tee would almost definitely get the red/stop while the crossroad could get either, if any sense was used in traffic planning. Leaving the tee via the nonexistent leg could certainly risk a car entering a people space.

Regardless, they are still 3+ separate items that should not have been missed, as you stated. A stop sign, a flashing red light, and leaving the road should all be condemnable as each is a normal circumstance. I'd agree, the speed limit likely did not allow 70mph, either

Or is auto-braking always enabled? Lots of non-self-driving/non-lane-keeping cars still have separate auto braking. I would assume, I would hope, auto braking is functional without autopilot needing to be engaged...

Terms used loosely. I don't have faith in the visual-only tesla system. But if you're an average driver, I could certainly see having high expectations for auto braking. I'm not talking about absolving the driver, I'm talking about bettering driver understanding through appropriate terminology for products but, I know, I'm an idiot for dreaming of such.

So have you been to one of these places? Especially in a globally renowned city such as LA or NYC? Whatever hoops you're jumping through to walk in with something sound about the same difficulty as what comes with a drone plan.

Ah, I see where our misunderstandings are. Exterior blinds are pretty rare in the US, despite being flush with exterior shutter adornments. So in the US, any talk of blinds is going to be about interior things, which was my assumption. I have heard functioning exterior blinds/shutters are more common in parts of Europe. Meanwhile, the US does also use "curtain" and "blinds" to mean separate things: blinds are the adjustable slats (or accordion cellular styles) while curtains are the more decorative textiles usually pushed to the sides. So it still sounds like we were talking about the same thing, using curtains to cover the gaps in the blinds, while talking about entirely different blinds.

How do you operate the exterior blinds? Are there controls going through the wall or do you reach out the window?

Also of note, American homes tend to have pretty bad wall insulation. Wood frames, plywood+siding outside, sheet rock inside, and probably slouching thin insulation. A wall can exchange as much heat as a curtainless window

The combination of security theater (metal detectors) and captive sales (no outside thermoses) makes it somewhat difficult to sneak something substantial into a closed event. As for not needing to escape, well if suicide is already on the table, then a drone operator doesn't need to survive either.

A sports stadium is different in the sense that customers are screened for weapons before entering and escape routes are very limited. It's a confined and defined space. Having a trash can bomb is scary, but it's gonna be hard to stop people from going outside their homes. On the other hand, being in a specific place where drones were able to circumvent security measures? That scares people from events themselves.

They didn't ask what the comic was, they asked "but why not both?". It can be both unethical and a lesson

Interior blinds create a convection current around them. They catch the sunlight that makes it through the window, get hotter, cause the air between the blinds and glass to rise, and pull in cooler room air from underneath.

Most modern windows have infrared-reflecting coatings, but it works both ways. If it reflects 90% of the infrared away, 10% gets in. Say you have polished aluminum blinds for 95% reflection, it's reflecting 9.5% of the original light back to the window. But then the window reflects 90% back again, or 8.5%. Then the blinds reflect again... All the while, it's finding any gap and heating the materials and air. So yes, blinds help, but it's best if you can keep the heat outside entirely.

I watch outside air temp closely and do open windows once ambient swings past what I want inside. Problem is, outside hasn't dropped below 75f/24c in about 5 weeks here. Most of the inhabited world has this issue in the summer unless it's a desert. Hell, that range is about what I saw in India during winter.

A. I could definitely have this kind of thought when showering after an argument

Your grammatical arrangement makes it a question. The period is a grammatical error. Spoken tone doesn't change it. We knew the intent, but if you're going to be pedantic, I'm going to be pedantic right back at you

That's what actually brought me to the comments. The fuck? OK, so now NYC pop is about 10mil, non-NYC NY is about 10 mil, and non-NYC NYC metro is about 10 mil. How do you get even 30 mil to represent 30% of 350mil? Confuse it with the Iranian population of 92mil? And 30% is the average of the responses!
