Re: HS2 and the Galileo replacement

Many people did and try to raise them during the campaig, I did, and why I'm patriotic, I couldn't vote leave for the simply reason the leave campaign had no answers to these questions and even if they did have the answers they weren't in a position to implement those answers because they weren't the government.

Re: HS2 and the Galileo replacement

That not how being a club member works. If you join a club and then help build a clubhouse, you can't throw a tantrum leave and expect to be able to take the bit of the club house you built with you, it just not how it work. An no person in there right mind would think it would work like that.

Re: Fgs

Trump is already launch trade wars with everyone in the world. An he hardly a person we can rely on for anything.

Re: Fgs

Germany and France will likely fight dirty an tell Airbus, which they control not to bid on the contract, which means alternative facilities will need to be built an companies establish to build the system. Also there no guarantee others won't play silly buggers when we try and find rockets to launch the system on.

Re: Fgs

Then the UK will need to invest tens of billions in all type of manufacturing projects because that the only way government can make sure the money is invested in the UK and in the areas it wants in the UK and not shuffle off to some offshore tax haven.

Investing on such a scale goes against every instinct the Tories have.

Re: Brexit means Brexit

Most leavers have low levels of interests in these subjects as a consequence of having a very low level IQ.

The passport office, 100% competent and I have never had any problems with it.

Which is one of the theories I had one why they cancelled Labour government project, so that argument over immirgration would carry on and the tories are always stronger on those grounds than Labour.

Re: This is fraud

Except that it exactly how humans operate, except our reward is often chemical signals in the brain that makes us feel happy and a sense of euphoria when we manage to repeat the actions of our favourite Youtube star.

Re: Pointless

An I bet Deepmind often tests how it AI does when it introduce to a new game straight off without any training of that game. They will get there in time, probably by combining many of these approaches and others into a single neural design.

Re: Hmmm..

But what does absolute actually mean, that will be different to each service. An that where there will lots of courts cases over. An that why I bet the app market in the EU is going crash and burn and the app market will cease to become a place where a hobbiest can even dream of playing. In fact it seem safer just for me to make my app available only to Americans and asians, South Americans and Africa, the EU could become a desert for apps.

Given the EU courts past actions of just reinterpreting the laws to suit their agenda, I suspect you are indeed right.

Re: "personalised ad" stuff is absolute nonsense.

How are auditors suppose to audit if google don't keep IP addresses?

Re: My prediction - it won’t happen unless

They will learn as these cars takes nice picture of their number plates and even of the individual faces and send it straight to the police for them to be fined!

Already Essex police are fining people base on dash cam footage sent in by the public, I suspect they are rubbing their hands at the thought of all those automated cars sending footage of their human rivals breaking the law, their fine revenue will go up ten fold, at least until humans learn to leave autonomous cars alone.

Re: Finally somebody said the truth

ROFL,

Nope they are being tested on London roads, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfRqNAhAe6c

Not quite as bad as Indian or some other countries roads but not exactly the wide open roads of california either.

If they weren't confident they wouldn't have pledge to buy 20,000 ipace cars would they?. Already there cars only have a engineer or backup driver in the back seat as part of their pilot program, so far zero major or even minor accidents, have been reported and the press is all over even minor accidents that involve autonomous cars.

An the reason I repeated it three times is because I reply to three comments, not everyone reads the whole comment section.

Re: I'm sceptical about driverless cars

Given the death recently in the USA, I don't think that driverless is going to be here before 2024.

If it was cause by Waymo or GM vehicles you would be right because they are the leaders. Unfortunately it was done by Uber which already has a shitty record and are known for their dodgy practices. So it likely to just be written off as something done by a company cutting corners trying to catch up to their rivals.

There going to be a autonomous taxi at the end of 2018, that Waymo goal. An in several cities across America by 2020. It likely the UK will also have various driverless schemes up an running by then as well, probably in terms of small buses shifting people from town centers to out of town car parks or train stations. An countries like Singapore, Dubai and Qatar will have will all have something similar being set up. Singapore wants self driving buses because they can't hire enough bus drivers.

I bet on Qatar having self driving cars and buses driving around world cup fans for 2022 world cup. Because they want to show off what a modern country they are. They might even have a few flying autonomous taxis flying around by then as well.

Re: For God's sake, why?

they are not around the corner through, they are here now, driving on our roads, from the end of the year Waymo will have a autonomous taxi service up and running in the US without any safety drivers.

Re: Please just don't care enough

They got content people want. However you face a classic chicken and egg problem, you won't get people to buy the box unless they know the content is there and the contents won't be there unless people buy the box.

£100 quid is way to high, it can't be more than around 10 to 15 quid, it got to be a impulse purchase. You need partners big enough to be able to hand out thousands, tens of thousand for free to people so you are generating the content.

More like billions and billions of users is what the likes of facebook and google and yahoo operate at.

The number of individual who actually pay for their own email service is in the low millions.

It content that 90% of people care about through. Google will again be proven right that it approach is the correct one, trying to get publishers to think more carefully about where they place their ads, what kinds of ads they want on their site.

so you want the site content but you want it for free? How do you expect reporters to feed and house themselves, how do you expect them to pay for flights to go out an interview people and companies and to visit conferences and trade shows like CES for example?

Re: Bypass the middle man

Google, Facebook, Apple are the only ones with the scale to ever consider implementing such a system.
