Sure, if you ignore the lithium mining. Overall I agree but we really need the equivalent of a corolla before EVs takes off, and sourcing lithium is a major pain in the ass. Thank god for the convenient change of power to a business friendl

Woah, I was never excluding the other models from my assessment.

People answering questions does not imply that their favorite thing to talk about is themselves. It’s simply an easy venue to conversation when you don’t know the other person.

> The government controlling search and maps is the last thing anyone should ever want. Why is this any worse than Google? There are obvious perverse incentives against providing a decent search tool on every page by design.

Proxies can also work well for cheaper than buying distributed compute.

I believe I replied to the wrong comment; I agree with your assessment about biases. I meant it as a neutral term, I would ideally like the biases to align with my own.

How does it work to use with your phone? Last I checked there were very limited options for NFC compared to USB.

These are only two traits measured leaving many who correlate to neither. I am hardly well versed in the jargon discussed here to speak authoritatively, but more than half the variance is unaccounted for. An outsized effect for sure, but no

If PBS were trying to empower voters, they could easily report different news. You need to actually analyze their coverage to make any assertion about to what extent they empower their viewers with their news coverage. If I were to suggest

He wore it in public and as a representative of a state agency. The fact that a woman made it doesn’t impact anything; he had a complete lack of sensitivity, and he apologized, and he didn’t get fired. What is there to discuss? FWIW I prese

Sure, but not everyone can. Realistically Search and Maps should be public utilities. And quite honestly, Google is completely scamming anyone who pays for my views. They know damn well I don’t see ads, let alone click on them (except throu

Why is a center bias inherently better? You call it “pretty safe to call good”. That’s actually excellent framing: PBS (I should clarify, I refer specifically to the news hour) plays it safe and doesn’t report anything not on other comparab

This is ridiculous. R Kelly performed for years as a known pedophile with an adoring fan base. Cancel culture is mostly a myth. You’d have to do something pretty damn bad, way worse than “slighting”, for your behavior to go viral enough you

I would call PBS’s bias center to center-left, along with the nytimes, huffpost, the guardian, most late night shows, and most slate writers. It sounds like you are describing the wall street journal, bloomberg, the economist, the washingto

There is no such thing as covering news without bias. Even the selection of which stories to cover is inherently political. I don’t terribly mind PBS but the idea that people sometimes float of unbiased media doesn’t even make sense to me.

America was already prone to binge drinking. Also, public transit also reduces drunk driving, so it’s hardly unique to taxis.

Interest is profitable. You take cash, you make interest. It's just a step away from the oldest game in the book—loan sharking.
