John Oliver: Primaries and Caucuses

Baristan says...

People give Trump more credit than he deserves.
It won't be Biff Tannen 2016. It'll be a The Apprentice spinoff.

...
I predict a lot of air time for Back to the Future Part II this fall.

Jar Jar Binks Sith Lord Theory

Payback says...

Just an aside, who thinks Luke has become a Sith Lord to Kylo Ren's apprentice?

Like father, like son? And Ren IS Luke's son, and Luke went Dark Side when Ren's mom was killed by Jar Jar...


Oh, this is fun!

Ambition - Sci-Fi Short w/ Aidan Gillen (GoT's Littlefinger)

Retroboy says...

I love mind-stretching stuff, but the purpose is a little confusing in this. The science in visiting a comet and discovering sand dunes is damned great. (reference: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2014/10/scientists-discover-that-comet-stinks-and-has-dunes-just-like-earth ) But this little film buries that in the equivalent of master/apprentice wizardry and magic.

Yeah, yeah, effects were superb, and per Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", and the story was meant to be noble. Got that.

But this still put me off a touch because it muddied the waters. Cool science is cool without CGI, and this went a bit too far down that lane.

The future of ghost-riding?

You will need insurance, but because the risk is so, so much lower the insurance will be almost nothing.

I'm in the UK and for my wife and I to insure our new VW Golf fully comp it costs £118 a year. That's very cheap for the UK. But it costs my apprentice at work about £1700 to insure a piece of shit old banger. The difference clearly isn't the value of the vehicle, mine is worth for than ten times his and his insurance is more than ten times mine.

The difference is that he's only just past his test and is young whereas I'm in my mid thirties and I've been driving for 17 years. The difference is in the likelihood of us having a crash and hurting someone.

Self driving cars will have the ability to react to a situation way, way faster than I ever could, and to be able to react together if there are lots of them on the road, meaning even if there is an accident the consequences will be massively reduced.

A self driving car will never be tired. It will never be distracted by a phone, or a passenger or anything. It will never be drunk.

All of these things mean that the risk from a self driving car will be way less than for a human driver. And by way less I mean a tiny fraction. The more self driving cars there are around the less risk there will be. Humans are an unpredictable element, remove them from the situation and you'll remove the risk massively. So, my risky apprentice is now a lower risk than I am, and as such his insurance will be lower than mine. All of a sudden the insurance company's income is slashed to a fraction of what it was.

Insurance companies make money out of risk. When everyone on the road becomes low risk they will make less money.

Cars will still have to be insured since accidents can still happen, but there will be many fewer accidents. Insurance companies will make shitloads of money because they won't be paying out nearly as much. It wouldn't surprise me to see them offer significant discounts to anyone with a self driving car.

Why Celebrity Apprentice Sucks Away Your Willpower

MilkmanDan says...

OK, this clip was quite interesting once I actually got around to watching it. I skipped it several times because although I like Penn Jillette, I hate reality TV and have less than zero interest in "Celebrity Apprentice" or whatever else.

So, I was tempted to just reply with a snarky "it certainly does suck" (referring to Celebrity Apprentice / Reality TV in general) without even watching the clip. Glad I didn't do that, so here's a sheepish upvote to compensate for my near faux pas.

"Hang On, I'll Just Turn It Round Here &.....Oh SH*T!!!"
