You are naive about cops, at least in the US, and what they will or will not do and what consequence they may or may not face.

Weight, price, drivetrain all are terrible as others have said you would be much better off spending much less on a simple al bike.

Yeah. And creating those resources cost less and less with less human labor every year.

Part of the deal with progress should be that we all start working less. If not is the progress all that attractive? Improved health so we can all work more is kinda stupid.

It's not equally distributed. In Boston, MA area kids have as much autonomy as their parents wish to give them AFAIK. It's not uncommon to see 10 year olds in my town nearby they a…

This is just doomerism and painting with a planet wide brush. IMHO it's not so simple. There has been much laudable and scientific progress in the past 50 years. Higgs Boston disco…

Crowdstrike certainly comes out looking terrible. The fact that Delta might have also made mistakes is weak sauce.

I think you just don't come off very convincing.

Blue cross has $450 / mo negotiated rate. Medicare can do better than that and government has started doing negotiations for drugs.

Pretty sure, for all you weirdos with poor senses of humor, that the folks behind this do more to preserve retro computers than most of you put together. This was a beautiful art p…

Single core still lags way behind. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has same single core at a 3 year old A15. They are staying even / besting apple in multicore through adding more cores than ap…

I wonder if they QA with different ad blockers. This would be much more interesting if we knew the exact mechanism of the slowdown.

Selective enforcement is difficult to discern, even with large population statistics, and more so in individual cases. It requires comparing similar situations and then constructin…

Smart to do it Friday afternoon.

Done late on a Friday.

I kinda like all of them. My kid, when they were little, starting calling them robots. e.g. “Dad, look at that robot!”

As a paid ChatGPT user for many months now I’m glad they move so fast making the service better. I happily take that over a slowly improving but always reliable service. Let reliab…

I would prefer a government that investigates all the bad acts of LEOs. I would prefer a government that investigates the rich. I would prefer a government that investigates wage t…
