We're not talking about dissatisfaction here. We're talking about meeting basic needs like food, housing, and health services. Wanting to be satisfied of these things is absolutely true in general.
Instilling fear is a poor way to gain trustworthiness.
These are my thoughts exactly. In fact, nothing exclusive to Russia is mentioned in that article at all. It describes old known attack vectors that can be exploited by China as much as Russia, or any other bad actor for that matter. Very strange that the word "Russia" is mentioned without substance so many times throughout the article.
I think there is likely a common need for a set of standard training models. This may hinder innovation for some time, but it's a cost we should accept when releasing a potentially dangerous technology to the public. It would have the added benefit of multiple companies contributing to a common self-driving standard which could accelerate its development.

That being said, when the first real cars were introduced to the world and later improved upon there were many more fatalities than we're likely to experience with self-driving technology.

If both are equally popular, it would make sense that this be an easily configurable option in the browser's settings. Favouring one option over the other will inevitably alienate about half the consumers of this awesome feature, which seems like a bit of a waste to me.
Re:Think twice before signing subscription to Adobe products on Sunday January 08, 2017 @10:07AM (#13349931)
Unfortunately, Adobe is a terrible company these days. I had been using their products for over a decade, so unsubscribing and vowing never to work with their software again was not an easy decision for me. It sucks, because I think their software is great, but the company has completely lost my business.

Not really. He just bought the template and customized it, and I imagine he wrote his own back-end as well. After all, it's just a bootstrap theme.
