I think you may have missed the point. Law enforcement isn’t some 100% effective panacea. And getting to the point of a class action = a lot endured. Which is OP’s point.

And so begins the enshittification. I hope my comment ages like unpasteurized milk on a hot summer day, but I’m afraid it will age like an sp3 hybridized allotrope of carbon.

Heartbreaking. Sorry for your loss.

We’ve known about this for a while I feel from dimples on a golf ball.

You’re self-questioning and self-reflective. Totally not worried for you or by you. Keep it up.

To paraphrase Upton Sinclair: “It is difficult to get a man to prioritize something when his salary depends upon his not prioritizing it.”

Waymo solved San Francisco. Non-trivial, imo. Is London more complex?

This is an evolved view. Let’s put achievements on currency, not humans. Of course, this is no panacea - “achievement” is ambiguous enough to be open to interpretation, and therefo…

Emails are optimized for COA record-keeping, not efficient communication.

PR budgets exist to _prevent_ exactly this sort of response.

This is an astute point. I’m a mid-40s mech engineer in the Bay Area. HN is my tribe, by and large. I’ve been bombarded with perspectives that ADHD medication is the answer. (Not o…

The comma makes it more human-readable. What separator would you suggest?

This is a largely correct, but incomplete take imo. Cultures are neither “good” nor “bad”. Some are better than others at optimizing different outcomes. Of course, culture A might …

This, 100%. Look East (assuming a Western reference point) for copious evidence that supports this POV. Education is a means to an end, and the only way out of abject poverty (pers…

This.

More gullible fodder to influence via handheld screens.

Could you share a little bit about your journey - how you got started, your motivations? (I’m trying to teach myself programming/development, hence the curiosity.)

An elegant solution to this problem would be to enforce a very low speed limit entering the turn. “Sharp turn ahead, reduce speed to 5 km/h”

True problem solvers. They solved a political problem, but created a real one. Certainly not engineering ethos torch-bearers. However, they did meet spec. I’d fire leadership first…

Terrible. Interaction loop is too slow. Not ergonomic.

People lack nuance. Nuanced views are computationally expensive.

Drones are delivering. Ukraine?

Apple does not owe Android users a superior non-Apple experience. Android a pretty damn huge platform, right? Way bigger than Apple, I hear? Blame Google. Google failed to compete.…
