I don't think so. From what I remembered, it required both hands grasping 10 and 2. I had a lot of distrust for the system (and was hovering the brake) since I hadn't used it before. I had to get used to the controls, the UI, the

I hadn't thought of that but I am a firm believer that some social shaming is a highly effective way to curb behavior. I agree that other cars should be notified if a car is unattended too, just in case they get to an area where the sy

I would think it would make sense to throw on the hazards and come to a stop if it can't figure out the shoulder and the driver is not attentive for whatever reason. In LA - some people are so stupid as to not get off to the shoulder a

When I drove one on autopilot - it would routinely prompt me to put hands on steering wheel. I didn't get them all and autopilot mode was disabled for the rest of my trip. I don't recall the steering wheel prompts to be as obvious

Agreed. There's a lot of snakes in the biz. I had to tell one to turn his auto-dialer down because it was annoying me. If I didn't answer he'd be hitting me up several times per day every day. Then he'd lie about not hav

I'd suggest that geeky dads are going to attempt to be very logical with their all their decisions. So they might take their time with their spouse, want to get a house, get finances in a great place, etc, before making the jump to hav

I'm suggesting it as a possibility yes. Parent tried to suggest it as all rosy up in Alaska and suggest there's no negative correlation for UBI up there. And Alaska is toward the top on two major issues so it's worth noting.

Score 40-70M deaths for Mao and 3-60M for Stalin too. The last hundred years were ridiculous. Unfortunately the world needs a police. The UN isn't effective. So the US takes a lot of heat for meddling in other country's affairs. I

Not necessarily. You don't have enough information to make that claim. If you're smart and have assets (not living on the edge), then you put as little down as possible because your return will be higher than the PMI or general de

This hidden racism is rampant among the leftists. They start their policy-making by assuming that minorities can't do certain things. They make themselves feel better by telling themselves they are helping out the disadvantaged. But th

I've never thought of it that way but it definitely makes sense. Apart from the anti-housing issues that you outlined, the city loses out on new property tax revenue that would be levied at the current market rate. Staying in office is

It was probably somewhere in the terms. Not ideal, but at the same time - the product IS a social network for the neighborhood, so the user gets value from having their neighbors on. And they expect to have their neighbors on. I'd pref

It's not a dismissive position - that's how capitalism works. Consumers as a whole don't believe the extra cost is justified. In fact, they don't even think the taste is better in some cases [1] or only a 5% preference i

Good point. I think that probably gets more of a pass because we used to have a lot of inline JS in the past. Doing it the other way was a lot sloppier before because HTML was such a chore to include in JS.

Cities wouldn't like the property tax revenue drop either. And there'd be no housing to rent which is a problem for a huge % of the population.

I don't see how this would work. Building owners would simply sell their assets. They wouldn't be able to service the debt. Then there'd be no homes/condos/etc. to rent. How do citizens, most with no cash savings, a
