This article begs the question. Why does "Public not equal consent"?

I'm going to upgrade my view of this article to linkbait title. The title should be, "THC found to not correlate with impairment in the same way that blood alcohol concentration does". From the article: > The study's

That's not what that means, though. All that says is that testing positive for marijuana doesn't provide a meaningful measurement of impairment. It does not mean pot doesn't impact your driving.

I'm saying Tesla engineers aren't looking at this and throwing their hands up in the air, claiming this was supposed to happen, and I'm saying a bulletproof vest has failed to achieve its design goal if you can't wear it

What you're trying to do is draw conclusions based on very small sets of data. Sure, the article submitted agrees with your conclusion, but there's simply no way to tell if the conclusion you're drawing (and what's st

That's interesting, because I get maybe 1 fake Facebook friend request per year? I think a lot of the problems people have with Facebook are based in how Facebook gets used. If you have 400 friends, you're simply not getting the

Inductive reasoning is how the scientific method works, however. "I've run 10,000 experiments that show toy bricks are green, therefore I can say with great confidence that all toy bricks are green." Knowing things with absol

This article seems to give way more credence to the option of being able to tip Uber drivers than I think is warranted. Just to add on for folks in other parts of the world, in the US, if you work a job that gets tipped, you usually can l

Tipping is some of the worst form of payment in existence. It's completely unregulated from a consumer standpoint, and is therefore subject to every single bias one can think of - sexism, racism, "attractivism"? Literally

That's not my logic, it's the logic of the comment I replied to. What I'm trying to say is they specifically designed and built a collision detection system with the goal of preventing the car from hitting things parked in

The Tesla was designed to avoid this collision. Are you trying to say that Tesla would prefer their car hit stuff?

Relax, I'm just trying to point out that Tesla did not intend to build a car that would run into stationary objects.

I see the distinction you're trying to make, but it's not referencing the design. Are you suggesting collision detection is not designed to prevent collisions?

I meant what I said. Collision detection was not designed to work under human supervision, which means when it runs into something, it has failed its design. Tesla cars are not designed to run into things.

I didn't say "x being intended as the sole thing performing Y", I said, "It's designed to avoid collisions from the front and sides.", which it was.

No it doesn't. And you're still ignoring the part where I said it doesn't matter if it was designed intentionally this way or not, it shouldn't behave this way, regardless.

Protruding objects? Okay, so "move fast and break through skin" is easier for you to swallow, then?

The software did not work as designed, because it is designed, above all else, to not hit stationary objects.
