The irony is that it used to be an ocean before climate change covered everything in glaciers.

The fun part about those numbers is that Mars and Earth have roughly the same amount of CO2 in their atmospheres.

In 10 years, you won't be able to make that joke.

Few enough people can be bothered to leave reviews for free, charging for them is going to drive that number even lower. So people paying for fake reviews need to buy fewer to get results.

The salesman exploits quantum physics by keeping what their company does in superposition until you collapse the waveform by revealing what you're willing to pay for. Instantly a developer at that company gets a bad feeling about something, but doesn't know what, until their manager walks over with a note from sales. They then retroactively do a bunch of work to have a deliverable by the next quarter.

The Silver Stallion -- by James Branch Cabell

"The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. So I elect for neither label."

>What would be a great idea? We really liked the news about "drones planting 1 billion trees" or "drones doing surveillance of sharks in the bays".

Combine the two. "Drones planting 1 billion sharks in the bays"

A little background on why this was necessary is that the law already existed for decades to stop GM/Ford/Chrysler from doing the same thing, which was a very real threat to their industry. The bill simply changes a word to keep Tesla from using the loophole of not having a franchise to begin with.

From the article, it sounds like Tesla simply decided to become a used car dealer in Michigan as another workaround. It's not a settlement because nothing else has changed. The law didn't apply to selling used cars.

GITS is largely post-cyberpunk, but dips into cyberpunk for ideas. Mostly for it's antagonists. The cyberpunk driver of the post-cyberpunk tank being an interesting take on things, at least.

Clarification for those who don't know. Cyberpunk spun off of a bunch of genres that call themselves $name-punk but ironically ignore the -punk aspect and just replace $name for the name of the technology they replaced magic with in what's otherwise a fantasy story. (Including literally magic as technology.) Because cyberpunk was taken, the cyber version of $name-punk ended up being called post-cyberpunk instead of cyber-steampunk for whatever reason.

I doubt you'll see mixed human/AI racing.

Even if you could trust the robot cars to run along side human driven cars, you can't trust the human drivers around the AI opponents.

You can say that about punching people in the face, too.

Saying that they sum everything is there to catch people trying to game the system by maxing everything out.

The first part gets you to describe your symptoms, the last 6 questions get you to rate your pain, and compare it to other likely painful situations you've experienced.

If you're too busy screaming and throw the clipboard back at them, you might need some help. Or you really know how to game the system.

Neuter a duck and it's a robot, got it.

Human level AI just got a lot easier to create.

ClamAV on Linux is mostly for checking for Windows malware in files that might end up on Windows.
