> "It's private because we fear bad people" I wonder if the thought process even goes that far. Oftentimes, the motive seems more like self-conscious social pressures, e.g., fear o…

I think the point is that if the vehicle's software can't figure out how to cope with something as simple as a cone on its hood, it's woefully unprepared for real driving condition…

> they are cheaper Time will tell, but I suspect it'll be economically unviable once the lawsuits start flowing

I don't understand why this part isn't talked about more. Seems like an elephant in the room to me. Have most people just not encountered confusing road conditions? A couple weeks …

Don't take that for granted

The recognition of harmful speech. See e.g., German restrictions on Nazi symbolism.

> YOU are an idiot, if you buy into racism Unfortunately, idiots can carry guns and have a propensity for acting on said racism. Refusal to confront that problem in the name of som…

I'm all for reading labels, but don't go around spreading misinfo. None of those are on the packaging[1]. [1]: https://www.beyondmeat.com/en-US/products/the-beyond-burger

By the same token, bigger government allows more room for oversight and principled actors to dilute the effects of the unscrupulous ones. As others here have alluded to, our proble…

I suspect there's some element of obedience or group belonging at play in ad consumption. Ads are so tightly-woven into the fabric of our world that any rejection of them elicits a…

So glad to see others calling-out the Permanent Apportionment Act. Maybe it made sense in a world without communications technology, but today we're able to scale to the numbers ne…

Adding a degree to uniqueness would describe the delta between it and its nearest relative. Hence, "very unique" would mean something closer to exceptional or "off-the-charts" and …

The very notion of intentionally handicapping one's own vocabulary is just plain bizarre

_Electric_ sheep, even!

I'm just amazed ads work at all. Anytime I receive an ad I didn't explicitly request, I boycott that company. I'd have hoped enough likeminded people in the world would naturally d…

I feel like this point gets overblown. Subscribing to an "invalidations" message queue seems pretty straightforward. What am I missing?

Yes please. Can I have my touchpad buttons back already?

> forgetting some stuff running beyond the free-tier limit Weird, they banned my account for that. Tried AWS when it was brand new and assumed they'd just drop the instance when th…

Maybe I'm crazy, but I remember when I was little red delicious were crisp and sweet and juicy and perfect in every way. Then over the years, they became more and more hit-or-miss,…
