Mainly if you allow a government and / or corporations to do so, but unfortunately democracy and the like only gives you so much influence on that.

Would be interesting to follow, but as of now they look to be in a startup phase still. Car companies take years to establish themselves. This one seems close though, they say they will do their first deliveries later this year.

No, but at the same time, the established car manufacturers are very protective of their own stuff so they are disincentivised from e.g. building a car that works offline. John Deere is infamous for this, locking down their machines to the

How is that different from what the US and (to a lesser degree) the EU tried to do? Both are examples of capitalism. Actually I know why it's different, I was just doing an online knee jerk response the difference is that western capit

You don't need Ford per se, but you do need an experienced manufacturer to take a concept car to mass production, and you need mass production to make something affordable.

I wish I had current-day AI (and a big credit card) for my previous job, they had a big legacy mess made by a productive but not very good developer, but my job was to rebuild it. If I had AI tooling at the time I'd probably be more in

Kind of, but younger generation will prefix every sentence with "bro" so you can kind of see a generational difference. But also, Warhammer 40K is popular.

This is a great one to put in my vocabulary. It also ties into the "vocal minority" thing where people that aren't actually the best people to talk about an issue are the most visible.

And yet, while on HN we're critical readers and can still see through it, there's many places on the internet where it just wouldn't stand out. I try to avoid them, but they would just blend in to e.g. youtube comments. Unles

Case in point, dreams of being rich and famous. Famous people hate being famous. Get rich first, see if you still want to be famous then.

Exactly; powerlessness is a big source of stress / anxiety / etc, but when you truly accept that you can't for example change other people or things outside of yourself will never be exactly the way you want them to be, then

This is the thing I don't understand about (a superficial interpretation of) anarchists; while governments are often not ideal, a lack of one wouldn't be better. And trusting people to self-organize is idealistic, but in practice

I'd say selfies just aren't for you, and that's fine. For many others it's not, and friends at a distance may just like seeing their friends' faces instead of just the subject. But I don't understand it myself

I wonder if they go at it from that angle ("let's make these kids addicts for money!"), or if they gaslit themselves into something else. It's probably the latter, just like the tech companies did - they looked at just t

Depends, if you nudge it only a little, its own onboard stabilizers / thrusters should be able to correct it. It'd have to be more than its own systems can correct for.

What works better, in your opinion? Or, what system is not responsible for human atrocities?

Nordic style social democracy only works well (I think) if the country has reliable sources of income separate from corporations; Norway has a trillion dollar investment fund from oil and gas revenue that is still being added to. The Nether

Real journalists / content writers have pesky morals and tend to become whistleblowers when they've had enough.

From experience (with a moody teenager), can confirm; I think this is less teaching methods and more personal development. Younger children will conform more easily to e.g. structured education, teacher / parent authority, and basicall

I don't fully understand your comment but I think an issue with schooling is that tests are the meaning of schools - that is, test results and graduating are the objective of an education. This is the disconnect I've always foun

I think reading for fun and reading for a job are difficult to compare; I'm sure this fellow has a very high reading speed and / or can skim across parts that aren't important for the task at hand. But that's making assu

Nerdsniped by Starship Troopers, I think it's important to make the distinction there between a direct book adaptation versus "a movie inspired by". Standalone (and keeping the "this whole thing is a propaganda movie&quo

Likewise video game -> movie adaptations, it seems to be very hard to do. Or they just don't get it, but that's probably my own bias. Thing is, some games are basically interactive movies, but they still make changes to meet so

And yet, it's not unusual that a poorly written book gets a decent movie adaptation. Sometimes it's not even a good plot OR well written, sometimes a book is just popular and the execs cash in on its popularity. I'm thinking
