The physicists, scientists, engineers, governments, corporations, and investors all seem to disagree. But some guy on the internet says it won’t work.

Really? Do you think the NZ government is incompetent, Emrod is a scam, and/or PowerCo have not considered these extremely basic issues? The error by OP is assuming everyone involved in this project are morons who have yet to consider

The base Model Y is $50k but the seats and comfort are straight out of the Model 3. It’s not exactly the peak of luxury and comfort. However, luxury and comfort aren’t necessarily what people are paying for when they buy a Model Y. For me p

So sad. If only their team of physicists, engineers, and scientists had done basic internet research. Too bad. I guess they’ll plow ahead and try it out, anyway. Maybe humanity will just accidentally be a better place, despite the extraordi

#9 screams of anticompetitive product bundling. What do OS updates and security patches have to do with the Play Store?!?!?

Not paying your restaurant or gambling tab is indistinguishable from theft. As far as I know you cannot go to prison for owed taxes.

It’s simple. We have rules and regulations on how to assemble in public. They differ from city to city and state to state but the information isn’t hard to find. Typically you need a permit if your assembly is more than 20 people but that’s

Citizens have constitutional rights to peaceably assemble. The language is right there in the bill of rights. Police don’t show up and corral peaceful protesters who applied for, and were granted, permits for demonstrations. When an assembl

Some do. About as many unarmed people are killed by police as people are killed by furniture.

That’s some absurd hyperbole. Death? These people are scared of going to jail. They know they are breaking the law and they know if they get caught they could go to jail.

Just some mostly peaceful Molotov cocktails in Portland last night during the mostly peaceful riot. Nothing to see here. During the mayhem a protester was caught on fire but he was mostly not on fire.

Police are making it a battleground? Not the people throwing Molotov cocktails, fireworks, and bricks. No, it is the police who have made it a battleground.

You can boil this entire comment down to “human nature is annoying.” You picked iMessage here but you could have picked clothing lines, cars, jewelry, or any other status symbol item.

I upvoted you. But these corporations do this to themselves with region locking and other DRM shenanigans. The only way for me to truly “own” some content is to pirate it.

It should be considered illegal product bundling for Oculus to require a Facebook account. Facebook has an extreme monopoly on social media and should be shattered into a dozen companies.

I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I loathe class components and convert to hooks whenever I can. Class components seem so bloated and enormous with anything but the most simple use cases. Sometimes when I read these comments I feel li

We spend about $150 billion per year on science funding in the US. I don't think we're being irrational by giving moonshots roughly 0.00003% of the funding. That's a generous percentage, too, considering the funding for Jim

I believe a total of $620,000 over a span of several decades. I am personally quite happy to fund one-off random projects like this. The amount of money is a trivial rounding error. Funding 100,000 failures at this level would be worth it i

Assholes exist as adults, too. You can't hide reality from children. At some point they are going to have to deal with an asshole.

We already have enough difficulty having constructive arguments or disagreements. If we removed the social aspect of schooling we would have an entire generation of people with the softest skin imaginable. No conflict resolution abilities

How are you defining value? Sales for the 20XX were "disappointing" and so obviously the market considered these cards to be overpriced. However, the reaction to the 30XX announcement seems to be extremely positive. Isn't t

Why would Apple want screenshots in the iOS or Mac App Store that show devices that cannot run iOS or macOS? Would Sony or Microsoft allow PS4 or Xbox devices in their respective digital store listings? No way. You should either provide

Those guidelines are absolutely crystal clear. You aren't even supposed to show the device at all, just screens of the required sizes.

A dozen or so scientists trialing a vaccine on themselves is of zero concern. And you can't take this one-off self-trialing and apply the same level of scrutiny to a government actor acting on millions of people.

It happens way more often than you would think. There is an even a named phenomenon about how people naturally drift toward stationary objects. It's called "target fixation."

by cwhiz 6y ago
That's quite the sensationalist take. How did you travel from "doctors self injecting a covid vaccine" to "doctors may accidentally wipe out humanity?"

You’re right. We should continue warming the planet while waiting for the pipe dream that is full renewables. After all, perfect is the worst enemy of good.
