I think the best case scenario is to have an autonomous system that only steps in when the human pilot is doing something wrong. Then the pilots stay well-trained, while getting the benefits of autopilot. You could then manually give autopi

The hack you are talking about is unrelated to the one that let him control the Tesla network. In that one it sounds like he just put together a custom client that requested supercharger data from Tesla, which I wouldn't really conside

Is there value in having a pilot, just to increase the consequences of shooting down a plane? When Iran shot down a US drone, there was pretty much no real response by the US. If it was a manned plane, there would almost certainly be at lea

There is a huge difference between police injecting it and police ordering trained paramedics to inject it. The comment I was responding to was implying that it was dangerous for police to administer Ketamine because they are not trained, a

Pretty much everywhere in the world, paramedics are allowed to inject sedatives when treating a patient. Ketamine is used in many places (the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Austria) by paramedics, because it is very safe relative to other sedat

Also happens in Canada ( https://communityedition.ca/paramedics-in-wr-will-soon-admin... ), they administer it for pretty much the same reason as in the US. And Australia.

That is false, police are not injecting people with Ketamine. As the article says, paramedics are.

Looking ahead, Fauci said he’s “cautiously optimistic that we will have a vaccine by the end of this year and as we go into 2021. I don’t think it’s dreaming … I believe it’s a reality (and) will be shown to be reality.” https:/&#x2

No but Dr. Fauci, along with other scientists working on the vaccine (ex. Dr. Sarah Gilbert), have repeatedly said we will likely get a vaccine by 2021, and have millions of doses rolling out by mid 2021.

There are several COVID vaccines in stage 3 trials, I think it is safe to say that we will have a vaccine being rolled out by mid 2021 at the very latest.

Stock picking is gambling for pretty much everyone, even professionals don't beat the market most of the time. Income is somewhat correlated with intelligence, but thats not the issue I have with marketing to lower income people, since

Robinhoods advertising is disgusting. Encouraging people who make very little money to gamble that money on the stock market is just taking advantage of those who don't know any better - do you really expect to compete with the investo

I think most people can agree that up until this point, burning fossil fuels have been a net positive. But as renewables get cheaper and more useful, at some point it becomes worth it to pay the cost of renewables rather than continue to ha

I think talking about deaths is too binary when we are looking at air pollution, since I would imagine most of the deaths are from peope who have other conditions that air pollution is making worse, as opposed to things like car crashes whe

If the US is in decline, when was it in a better position than it is now (COVID aside)? I think things in the US have not been improving as quickly as in many other countries, and the US is certainly behind countries like Canada when it com

California is required to be race blind because they have stronger anti descrimination laws (prop 209). They are trying to repeal those laws with prop 16 this year.

by GhostVII 6y ago
There is a referendum (prop 16) to repeal that, and allow for discrimination based on gender/race/orientation again. Up for vote this year.

The barrier to entry is very high because for your OS to be able to compete, it has to support a similar app ecosystem. Getting most major app developers on board with supporting a new OS is pretty much impossible, especially given how many

Personally, I don't want a smart city, I already have a smart phone and that's enough for me. When I walk outside my apartment, I want to be escaping from my technology as much as possible, rather than being exposed to more of it.

Current classifications are irrelevant because the parent was laying out a new system, in which you could either be an employee, an independent contractor, or a dependent contractor. Under that proposed system, there is a significant differ

Covid primarily spreads through droplets, which are largely stopped by regular surgical masks. There is lots of evidence that shows masks like surgical masks, which don't filter out things like smoke, do slow the spread. Those kind of

It is entirely different, since you can start or stop your work at any time, can choose to only work when the pay is good enough, and are not committed to a single company. I don't think a job where you can start working by just instal

No, a "dependent contractor" is completely different from a regular employee. As an employee you are generally required to work certain hours, or at the very least do a certain amount of work in a week, and are paid either hourly

I don't see why we can't just have in person voting, but require masks. Given that we didn't see any significant spike in COVID after the protests, when people were packed together and shouting, it is pretty clear that the vi

It is not an argument against vote-by-mail elections, it is an argument against mail elections on a short notice, where we don't have the time to implement those things effectively.

Tesla's touch screen interface is probably one of the worst interface decisions in car history. It takes two taps on your touch screen to just open a glovebox - in what way is that better than a handle, which is completely intuitive, w

Because I shouldn't have to wear a mask when I am riding my bike alone in the woods, or when I am walking my dog. It is uncomfortable, and outside transmission is rare so it is not that beneficial. We have to find a balance between sav

People can already pay more to be more comfortable on planes - almost no one does because it isn't worth it. I'm fine with putting up with 10% less legroom to save 10% on my ticket, given that it is only a few hours and a ticket i

It is shocking to me how much Reddit had declined since ~2016, at least from my perspective. Maybe I just am not remembering it correctly, but I don't think there was nearly as many blatantly false articles, echo chambers, posts praisi
