"..ban on smart phones.." "..ban on gen AI.." "..ban on social media.." yes YES YASSSSSSSSSSSS Ban all the things for kids. I don't want to be interviewing people in 10 years and decline every candidate because they can't correctly answer the question "You are 50ft away from the car wash. Do you walk or drive?"

To be fair, norwegian kids would probably fail because they don't have a clue how much 50 feet are.

  The question is slightly vague (since I could be going there not to wash my car), but I'm pretty sure in the intended interpretation, the actual distance is irrelevant. :)

  > To be fair, norwegian kids would probably fail because they don't have a clue how much 50 feet are. I... are you an LLM? The distance doesn't matter - you probably don't want to walk to the car wash.

    I was going to comment that you missed the joke. However, it was still curious to me that you took it so seriously, so I looked at your comment history. It is almost all political (and outraged) commentary, and you tend to dominate posts like this with many comments, without adding nuance, substance, or listening to the other side. It reinforces a pet theory I have, that if I'll build a dynamic filter to HN to filter out political/ideological commentors, the quality of discussion I'll see will rise up again.

Facts don't care about your feelings, bud. And neither do I. > It reinforces a pet theory I have, that if I'll build a dynamic filter to HN to filter out political/ideological commentors, the quality of discussion I'll see will rise up again. Yes I'm certain you will be happier if you ignore everything that challenges you.

        You've probably made 20 comments just in this post alone, all attacking people and treating things as black and white. Do you really don't realize that this makes Hacker News worse, and is probably not healthy for you either?

    I did walk to a car wash. Automated one. To look at how it worked. I don't drive to a car wash often. Maybe once in few years. I don't see the point. The car is out in the elements all the time. It gets clean and dirty randomly.

  >50ft I only have two feet, so if I am to get there, I must use a vehicle.
