The mechanism by which those lessons were learned involved many years full of tragedy and many fatalities including many famous celebrities dying in those plane crashes. Obviously, we do not want to follow that same path, but at the moment

That depends on which government. Ever tried sending a FOIA request to Facebook or Google? Within a few miles of my home I can walk into a number of government offices of my local representatives and I can at the very least air my grievance

I'm within 10 miles, so now I guess I need to go to some city council meetings and lobby for a bike lane or sidewalk or something. Right now, of all the highways leading to this industrial park (yes it's well within city limits),

I would love to be able to bike to work. But I can't, even if there were bike lanes. I live in an American suburb, which by design is located far from industrial areas, where jobs are. Too far to bike. There are a few high-density resi

Well, there is one thing that's stupider. There's no cruise control. It's AP or nothing. If I just want the car to do nothing but hold the current speed, like my 1986 Chevrolet Camaro did, it doesn't have that feature. I

Sure, if there's a blizzard or heavy rainstorm that blocks the cameras. Happens in Florida all the time. Rain so heavy the cameras can't see anything but a gray wall of water. In that case AP will emit an annoying audible alarm an

Don't worry. Most of the Tesla superchargers in my area are located on the back side of gas stations. Pumps in the front, store in the middle, chargers in the back. I believe in 10 years they will be building gas stations with the char

They should do that. They should also teach about actual journalism and not just information found online. I realize now that I had a great advantage in dating for several years someone who was in the College of Journalism at my University.

It only takes a few bad-faith actors to infect, exploit and ruin a platform. Give it time. They will figure out how to ruin TikTok, too.

True. Many people get offended when you say the glass is half empty, but nobody gets offended when you say the glass is half full. If I must point out a failure, I will make sure to wink and smile while doing it, which is tough on Twitter.

Yes, and the article is talking about deplatforming issues. What if Alphabet decided it didn't like what PBS was saying, and decided to use its leverage as owner of the platform to influence PBS content? Given everything crazy that has

It's the title of a chapter toward the end of Brown's book. A criticism, because she never answers the question or gives any evidence.

He keeps talking about cost-benefit analysis. He never explores the fact you can't have a cost-benefit analysis when you have information that is A) untrustworthy, B) constantly changing, or C) conflicting. In that situation, people ar

This story is about shady companies funded by government propaganda agencies around the world, and which cease operating as soon as you start investigating them. The New York Times has been doing business continuously since 1851, is one of

The article makes it sound like the victim was HP, an American company, based in America. Did I misinterpret something?

This story belongs to a greater category of stories with headlines that start with the word "Why..." promising an answer but never delivering. They're very nice stories. Very descriptive and well-written. But the headline is

We can't say for certain that any one event is caused by global warming. It's a global effect. The only thing we really need to point to is global average temperature, which should be plenty sufficient to cause alarm in everyone.

Take your pick. As soon as I mention one your lack-of-interest meter will immediately shut it down. How about campaign finance? How about the fact that it is against the interest of the two American political parties to solve any politicize

I also got the Embody last year and couldn't be happier. It's comfortable and looks good, but mostly I bought it because I just can't stand throwing away one more cheap office chair that only lasts a few years and ends up in

After doing a couple of projects with it, I have found that learning Rust is an exercise in futility. I wish I had never heard of Rust. What will happen is you'll immediately recognize it as the greatest language ever invented and you&

The irritating thing is it's all so unnecessary. My Tesla is a great car. But I paid an extra $10,000 for a feature that was promised but still hasn't been fully delivered, FSD. It feels like I paid extra for my awesome car to be

It's "watershed" because that was the number chosen at Paris. There's nothing scientifically significant about 1.5 or 2.0. They're just numbers that sit along the continuous path from here to whatever hellscape sits

Defensiveness? Possibly, but that's just one. I believe they do it mostly because they want to antagonize. They don't care if the info is false because it's all just a game anyway. If there's fact-checking, it proves tha

No, because of the new rule. If you voluntarily disclose your crimes, (or better yet brag about them on social media), it's not a crime anymore.

They probably know how many flu cases end up in the hospital or urgent care, then extrapolate from that number. They have historical data and also geographic, and census data, so they can make pretty good statistical estimates. It's ki

As a Signal user it does not make me happy either that they seem to enjoy thwarting law enforcement for its own sake. I'm not a criminal. I just enjoy privacy and good software. I don't enjoy thumbing my nose at the justice depart
