If you have an adblocker, and you're not visiting any of those nazi sites directly, but do derail a comment section about a totally unrelated article? I say it is, yeah.

Then again, I can be pretty petty about circlejerks.

Ah, that saved me a click. Let's make it permanent.

So, back to the original question: what makes you think that using public torrent trackers are not representative of the bigger picture?

Yes, obviously not being able to use private stats from private sources narrows the scope, but what makes you think it cannot be extrapolated? Personally, I think that private trackers or usenet would paint the same picture, and niche providers would be too small to make a dent in the stats.

I don't think it said just 1 specific torrent provider. But even then, as long as it was a decently sized generic torrent provider, what makes you think it would not be representative of the bigger picture?

j/k man, you gotta do what works for you.

BURN THE HERETIC!

Nope, they aren't as universal as EFI. I think the closest comparable attack vector for "old tech" is a bootsector virus.

By that same logic: it costs a couple of cents to burn a dvd or to transfer a few gigabytes, yet games costs $60.

All the commenter above you is saying is don't mix up the cost to develop with the cost to mass produce,

I stop reading after that since those are made up words.

How did you manage to read any words before those?

I never said better than the average driver, I said better than human drivers (preferably by a long shot).

So let's say that means... Better than 90% of all drivers. That isn't going to cost lives, it's going to save them. Not to mention improve traffic flow.

None of those fields have achieved perfection. Airplanes crash, people die in hospitals and space shuttles. If anything, computer assistance has managed to make those safer than before.

If (when) robotcars are safer than human drivers, less people will die in traffic accidents. It's not a perfect bar to settle on, but it's better then the current standard.

Again, denying improvements, because it's less than perfect is just insane.

As the other guy said. Demanding perfection is insane - we don't demand that from human drivers either. As long as it's better than humans (preferably by a long shot), I'm all in favour.
