Not really. The use of a gun/knife/lethal force implies a much different risk profile (you could easily die or be crippled for life). It's not about the money - it's about the violence.

I think Zoom was the one company that paired layoffs with reductions in executive compensation. Beyond that one example all of those executives faced $0 worth of personal grief over their actions.

Good point, there is probably a path toward consumer acceptance of reliability, but commercial and personal car markets are different and that can’t be overlooked. Taxis get regular maintenance and only last a few years. Personal vehicles

If 200000 miles on some very bumpy roads haven’t killed my Corolla then I would not expect some ev to kill it. Jokes aside, the Corolla is loved by its owners for its high reliability at the low price point. Fixating on the price only looks

I see cars in the city roll through stop signs all the time, but I never heard of a bicyclist killing someone while blasting through a stop sign. The difference between bicycles and cars is based on the potential for harm.

Sure. Though their users are a large demographic with plenty of disposable income at a lifestage where lifetime value of a customer is a high. The app’s design is embarrassingly bad (probably a CEO micromanagement problem), but that is less

Humans have been a powerful geological and biological force on this planet for quite a while. The first inhabitants of any land typically triggered a wave of extinctions, and deforestation. While preindustrial climate change might suggest t

This history of resource consumption would suggest otherwise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox ~160 years ago, Jevons noted that the market for coal had the inverse effect. Adding cheaper and more efficient

This has been a push for a while. It is pretty hard to explain the nebulous distinctions between AR, VR, MR and XR without coming across as a self-important pedant. Spatial computing is a much clearer umbrella term since it describes the co

Something I learned recently is that the film was not exactly singular: Failsafe - a different movie about a Nuclear Incident was being developed at the same time. Stanley Kubrick and Columbia sued them reached a settlement to delay the rel

The Bridge Trilogy by William Gibson (technically cyberpunk but close enough). Virtual light and all tomorrow’s parties in particular.

This is serious? Generally your app should aspire to having a better user experience than a low end phishing scam. Normal people really don't want to copy/paste a series of random looking computery numbers from one application int

And it is a serious quality regression IMO. The dictionary is too small and misses/messes up a ton of basic words.

Maybe this is splitting hairs but those just seem like classic non-violent protests instead of terrorism. Ecoterrorism is something like spiking trees so that loggers will get blasted with chainsaw shrapnel when they try to cut through a 10

Instant is great. You can also buy higher quality instant coffee these days at a fraction of the cost of ground beans (the down market options get pretty bleak). I have taken to bringing instant in to work simply because it is substantially

I like calling tomatoes reds in Romanian, but Rosa/Red is definitely a few thousand years old. In English the color orange is actually named for the fruit which does not grow well in England and only arrived a few hundred years ago.

In general the trope of a smug liberal is a thing, but I think you made the jump to intelligence: >>Matthijs Rooduijn, associate professor of political science at Amsterdam University, says such views are common among Wilders voters.

Learning language is not that impressive as a cognitive/educational feat. It is mostly a simple matter of practice. School reform is not going to change this. Case in point, Canada where schools are good and French is mandatory struggl

FWIW The Soviet Union never stated that it was communist. They were officially socialist with the constitutional goal of establishing communism. for that matter the Mensheviks predate the Bolshaviks and always opposed Lenin.

When leadership takes on a gigantic amount of VC backed debt that must be paid back whether or not there was ever a business model that could justify the loans, then you get shitificaition.

Cheating in school is not a victimless crime. Universities offer admission and scholarship based upon your ranking relative to your peers. If you cheat and get a better grade, someone else is bumped down a rank through your dishonesty.
