you can also use a VPN when paying to pay significantly less, though ive heard theyve cracked down on that a bit more recently

Another part of the problem: Waymo, for example, doesn't provide motorcycle specific stats. They only provide collisions with vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. There's no breakdown of vehicle type. So the basis of this article

if i had to guess: NYT was the original source of the news and Ars is just reporting on NYT reporting. Or alternatively, Ars is frequently really slanted and disingenuous to the point of dishonesty fairly often

Stuff like this doesn't have to be disclosed when given to PACs, so there's no way to really know

There are still massive benefits to living and working in the US despite the fact that it's also uniquely problematic. Incomes for some/many areas of work are extremely high here compared to the rest of the world, and despite the

It was never going to last if the US allowed for very low cost imports from those countries. This is literally one of the largest points of tariffs - protecting domestic manufacturing. We could have had high tariffs the whole time and offsh

That's a human trait and not really an American one, though I am definitely not an apologist for American-specific problems

It is really silly to say that because an LLM gave a similar approach a single time and someone took a screencap of it without full context, that Elon and Trump are sitting in the whitehouse asking Grok what to. This level of hyperbole is w

Musk was the largest shareholder in PayPal and it likely wouldn't have been successful without him - not sure how you can argue that isn't meaningful

That makes sense, but the article title says "clockwise". Why did they choose that word instead of "counter-clockwise"? They must be some threshold of "this 180 degrees is up and this other 180 degrees is down"
401.
by 93po 2y ago
sorry if someone already asked this, but what is clockwise when there's no "up"? The earth axis is like 60 degrees off the axis of milky way, so it's not clear what the frame of reference is.

They know people largely just read headlines and they want clickbait and outrage, so why bother doing real journalism

i agree there is lots of non-tech stuff and i'm absolutely very happy there is non-tech stuff. anything that involves creation, intellectual pursuits or curiosities, or new/unconventional thoughts and data and approaches to most a

by 93po 2y ago
the better argument is there is little to no opportunity for interesting, curious, engaging conversations around topics like this. the people most likely to engage and be the loudest are people who aren't interested in being open to ne

I don't understand why people so commonly misuse "bricked" these days. Your computer running like crap isn't bricked, it's just shitty.

this is a really poor comparison. mentioning crime rates by race is considered highly racist because it's a dog-whistle to frame it as "this person is more likely to do this because of their race" instead of framed in a socio

Will also add - the 17k miles is a self reported number with no way to verify that. That's also alleged miles between "critical intervention" and doesn't account for remote operators intervening all the time . Additiona

https://teslafsdtracker.com/ Community tracking shows 2600+ miles between critical disengagements in California, where the mapping is probably the best (if we're going to make a fair comparison to Waymo). Most recent f

im inline with that as long as capitalism is used to fund unconditional housing, food, education, and healthcare for everyone. there's literally no reason as a species and society why we can't physically make this happen

i think there's been some recent events of yc companies being a bit controversial, and as much as im sure a lot of us appreciate HN and that we have YC to thank for that in some capacity, given the site we're on it's notewort

it doesn’t give consumers what they want—it just targets a small subset willing to spend the most money.

well for starters, if you're writing for a tech news website, maybe just stick to tech news instead of injecting politics into absolutely every part of our lives. tell me about some new phone or video card and keep the political rants

this sort of comment is exactly why i flag this sort of content, to put it kindly, you're sort of missing the point and using a strawman argument

Basically any online article site like ars comes across as a Redditor with reddit-tier takes and a mixture of ChatGPT. If you graduate to something like the NYT then you sound like a lobbyist.

creating unbiased tests is a really difficult thing to do even when trying really hard, and whatever tests we have for voting would absolutely get used to disenfranchise certain groups of people. just look at how bad gerrymandering is despi

interesting how we even see this happening constantly in the US, on both sides. just accuse your opposition of being a criminal as much as you can, and throw as much at them as possible, and when the absolute smallest thing sticks, you blow
