Hit them where it hurts: Ban all family members of anybody in Indian government from entering the US for any reason. Not for school, nor a job, nor even a short vacation to visit o…

> 5-10 years before they lose their collective minds, and everyone wonders when the state "went bad". This timeline checks out with your example.

It's bitchy, vindictive, bitter, holds grudges and is eager to write off others as "bad people". Yup, they trained it on reddit.

How long until some human users of these sort of systems begin to develop what they feel to be a deep personal relationship with the system and are willing to take orders from it? …

If previous world wars are anything to go by, a war with China would come with a shift into a wartime economy. Luxury consumer goods like iphones and cars would be an afterthought …

Probably the same machines, but not the same attention to detail from the workers and management.

I think it was his move to spotify that was the inflection point. I used to watch a handful of his podcasts on youtube each year, whenever I saw that he had interesting guests on (…

It would need to move at about 15 km/h at the equator, and slower at other latitudes. That's surprisingly reasonable.

Don't fix it if it ain't broke. Despite Elon Musk behaving stupidly in many other aspects and areas, SpaceX is still working well. Whatever dynamic Musk and Shotwell have between t…

I believe this is often done to avoid corporate surveillance on the computer that might record the screenshot and exfiltration.

It sure does seem weird that something as fundamentally efficient as trains are supposedly so hard to run economically that treating workers properly just isn't economically feasib…

Exactly this. Nobody claiming this shit is safe will put their lives where their mouths are. Nobody in this thread moaning about people not trusting the experts will consider movin…

Both are. Are you really a pilot? You should know better than to treat blame as finite and indivisible.

Airline accidents kill hundreds of people outright. The media gives those stories tons of attention ( If it bleeds, it leads ) and accordingly the airline industry knows it must ta…

> In general, there's no particular need to make the list of chemicals public Fitting username, I didn't realize you were a novelty account.

We need a return to WYSIWYG principles. Any metadata stored in a file should be shown to the user in some way, to make them aware of that metadata existing. And if the metadata is …

Avoiding that sort of collateral damage is why they've developed the AGM-114R9X, aka the "sword missile". It has no explosive warhead, instead it has 6 blades that unfold right bef…

It's the plot of quite a few animes. At least a few episodes of Patlabor and Ghost in the Shell SAC. Although in these cases it's AI controlled tanks or mechs.
