At some point you're forced to either believe that people have never heard of the concept of a force multiplier, or to return to Upton Sinclair's observation about getting people to believe in things that hurt their bottom line.
- DrewADesign 9mo agoI don’t see why people keep blaming cars for road safety problems; people got into buggy crashes for centuries before automobiles even existed
- nullsanity 9mo agoBecause a difference in scale can become a difference in category. A handful of buggy crashes can be reduced to operator error, but as the car becomes widely adopted and analysis matures, it becomes clear that the fundamental design of the machine and its available use cases has fundamental flaws that cause a higher rate of operator error than desired. Therefore, cars are redesigned to be safer, laws and regulations are put in place, license systems are issued, and traffic calming and road design is considered. Hope that helps you understand.
- DrewADesign 9mo agoIs the sarcasm really that opaque? Who would unironically equate buggy accidents and automobile accidents?
- obidee2 9mo agoI’d like to introduce you to the internet. There’s a reason /s was a big thing, one persons obvious sarcasm is (almost tautologically) another persons true statement of opinion.
- DrewADesign 9mo agoThanks. I wasn’t aware of that.
- chr15m 9mo agoIt took me a minute to realise you were joking too! :)
- forgetfreeman 9mo agoHow much time have you spent around developers?
- DrewADesign 9mo agoI got my first tech job in 1998. Some of the most sarcastic people I’ve ever met.
