One of my favorite versions: when Steve Jobs immersed an early iPod in water to see if any bubbles came out, and therefore it could be made smaller/tighter. https://www.google.com/search?q=steve+jobs+ipod+water+air+bu..

Towing companies enjoy special privileges and presumed innocent, e.g. no penalties for "towing the wrong car."

not necessary: a lot of heat (energy) radiates out into space or is blocked from doing so but greenhouse gasses... and a lot of energy is sequestered into solid matter... or not...

These arguments are painting a bike shed: the attack surface is not zero but it's still dramatically reduced and controlled. Nobody said anything about "letting someone I don't trust into the server behind the firewall"

The regular shell is a huge attack surface, including user-to-user attacks and overly permissive network access. Frankly, ssh-to-container is a "slaps forehead" obvious solution and I'm surprised none of us thought of it befo

LOL, what GPT4 actually says: It's clear that we've reached a point in online discussions where the lines between human and machine are blurred, especially when conversing on complex topics like AI and blockchain. My comment wasn&

This is a very good point! Thanks for adding. This is definitely also true in the US and homeowners will explicitly discuss "real estate value": X increases RE value and Y hurts RE value. It's a big deal.

OP buried the lede: would a human driver have avoided the victim ? If a human driver would've killed her then this isn't grounds for punishing SDCs.

Unfortunately, this conflicts with basic tenets of how capital and free markets work: if you deny capital a market competitive return then the capital quickly moves elsewhere. For private housing, that means squalor and slums. Market compet

Obligatory business listing: https://goo.gl/maps/nRH1hnjAkJKfpLcu8 (yes, this is real and apparently pretty decent) (and yes, the name went viral which doubled the marketing win)

My comment specifically said GOOD food :-) (I worked on grocery wholesale/distribution and marketing for many years, and can "go down the rabbit hole" on the difference ;-)

lol, as a civilization we've arrived to the point where books/internet are more available/commoditized than "good food." Sad Bastard indeed.

OTOH, "falls short" is comically absurd after ONE WEEK ! Imagine Nature saying the same thing about a cancer drug ? The mainstream press is absolutely guilty of clickbaiting this one - instead of lazy "falls short" sort

Absolutely. My point is that billions of people make it harder to avoid and some these problems. Mathematically, 10,000 people in one area can be airlifted out of a problem or have supplies brought in. 10,000,000 people are not easily moved

To be fair, mass misery is very real: starvation, thirst, poverty, forced migration, etc. It's just a "local" problem and internal so "doesn't count" to the popbomb deniers. Also, it's worth nothing that m
