Waymo doesn't need to produce a million cars. They need to dominate rideshare in the top 10 US cities, which gives them 90% of the ridehailing market. Then they license their technology into long-haul trucking, then eventually person

So revoking a subsidy is forcing people to act a certain way? Dude, we burned plenty of oil even when we had the subsides. Big automakers were on board with the idea, energy companies were pivoting to batteries and renewables - and the ave

No, but that doesn't change the fact that people in general dislike the idea of lowering their standard of living for environmental reasons. Nobody pollutes in a vacuum, and the truth is that our emissions are the collective responsibi

Do you even know what that word means? Do you think that Taiwan is gonna be just fine if the US packs up and leaves tomorrow? That things will work out great for the people living there? You can call it whatever you want. People who have f

Right - if you ask a heart surgeon to wait tables they'll probably do a great job! But it's still a waste of their talents and society as a whole will be worse off than if they did heart surgery. You can measure that because a wa

If a software engineer starts working at Applebees, GDP will decrease. If lots of software engineers do it, GDP decreases more. If corporate revenue increases and is spent (as most revenue is), then the workers will be better off in the mo

There is a vast distance between putting unaccompanied minors in holding cells and what Trump is doing. No nation is perfect, but the US has historically been better than many others.

There are many insane things about the US tax system, but it is ultimately funded by the rich and only a little by the middle class. Personally I think LTCG should be taxed as income and not at a flat 20%, but because that might actually wo

The wealthy pay the majority of taxes in the US no matter how you draw the lines. Whether or not they should pay more is another issue, but it's wrong to say that Bezos pays "nothing" when he sells Amazon stock at a 20% tax

Consumers also don't support policies that reduce consumption because that would reduce their quality of life. Consumers happily take flights, hot showers, run their AC, etc. if it makes their lives easier. A billionaire consumes less

What exactly does fairly look like to you? Uyghurs in camps, suicide nets strung around factories? Like, even if you just want to talk about protectionism, China is way worse than the US pre-Trump. "Fairly" has nothing to do with

They're still in the kerenel AFAIK, but you need to compile the kernel specifically with a bunch of source-restricted or binary blobs to get things to work. They're not open and maintained as part of the broader kernel release whi

If you want a frontend for you app, you probably just use Electron and get it over with in a few minutes instead of digging through the docs for Qt or some other framework. Is it worth it? Probably not, since this is a single-platform app t

So you complain that tolerating women and minorities is bad... because now a different, smaller set of people are getting the short end of the stick?

Sure, but the difference between burning propane without a filter and coal with a filter is probably not that large. Propane is a clean-burning fuel.

To be very fair, I do not know a single person who has ever been charged with this. I and all my friends drink in the park all the time and the cops don't seem to care. If I get on a crowded bus, odds are good that there's a hom

Maybe you misunderstood. The data is required to be retained, but there is no requirement to make it accessible to the opposition. OpenAI already has this data and presumably mines it themselves. Courts generally require far more data to

People see it just fine. The difference is that startups are generally very motivated to spend their money well, and non-profits are... not. It's the difference between the profit motive (simple and easy to understand) and just hoping

They ARE "the community" that should be turning that money into actually useful things. Non-profits should not donate money. They should spend it or allocate it as grants. I think that a charity that just funnels money to other
