Though, with a self driving car sharing would not necessarily mean you both need to use it at the same time. The car could pick you up, drive your 20 minutes, then drive to the other person on its own and drive their 20 minutes. "Seria

I suspect it isn't about desire but income. A car can typically cost up to $10,000 per year regardless of specific purchase price there is insurance, fuel, repairs and/or car payments (lower purchase price on used vehicles raises

I wish they'd set up an ETF of some sort. I'd happily put in a share of my retirement savings in order to assist in that. I'm sure a sizeable portion of the coasts would too. Sure $1B from Gates will have an impact, but I cou

I think it is because people are generally NOT saying that they should necessarily BLOCK things, but instead label them appropriately. THIS IS SATIRE: at the top of ONION articles. THIS IS FAKE: on top of us-political-truth-grabber-buzz.com

Alternatively by not amplifying their voices Twitter is not morally culpable in supporting them. That is a fair position to take. Additionally, it is a clear signal that the speech "type" has social repercussions in terms of loss

Well yeah, that's part of the thought experiment and part of the reason it is such a iwildly beyond-science fiction scenario. Globally, the economic impact of cutting off ~350 million consumers would hurt but if you follow that line

That is fair - however it does not have to be implemented by stopping the information from spreading. An alternative could be to refuse to distribute the false information without a disclaimer reading "DEBUNKED / FALSE / see
