spoold··on Nevada passes law authorizing driverless cars
"What country is Nevada in?"

Spain for one. I know which Nevada the legislation was passed in, but your comment made the implicit assumption that everyone reading it is in the US.

"insufficient (read "nonexistent") public transportation is often noted as a predominantly (while not uniquely) American problem"

As is egocentrism.

spoold··on Nevada passes law authorizing driverless cars
"The de facto standard in this country"

Which country? It's a global problem (and this is a global forum). Kudos to Nevada for having the presence and foresight to pass this legislation. It opens up a world of possibilities for future transport options, and whilst it will take a while for the public to catch up and accept both the technology, and the transport changes it enables, this is a huge step in the right direction.

That being the case, the two disk failures didn't need to be concurrent for you to end up where you did...

Would it be reasonable to assume that facial captchas are actually more to do with building a training database than security??
