I have a 2021 one and it never hit the breaks with nothing standing in the way. I don't have the manual in front of me but IIRC, it should only activate without an actual obstacle if the circumstances are such that something may be con

Where I live (not the US) the only way rear-ending would be the tailing vehicle's fault is if the front vehicle was running in reverse. Otherwise, it's your responsibility to maintain a safe distance form the vehicle ahead, and on

I agree, I loved that movie, and I also have sketches forever stuck in my head. Interestingly, whenever I'm in too much of a rush while visiting my dad (because of work, or having to take the kids to a birthday party, that sort of thin

I agree with this answer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31436469 I also wanted to add that it's not that I think it is wrong to ask such questions, only that I think they're wrong when considered from withi

We agree on the meaning then! :) This reminded me of the intro to “A universe from nothing”, where the author says (paraphrasing) “why is there life is the wrong question, but we can try to answer how is there life?”

I'm an atheist, yet I don't think science can answer why we exist and what is the meaning of life. I think those questions are syntactically valid but semantically invalid. We kind of (in the 'broad strokes' you say) thi

This looks interesting, but I don’t think the title uses the word Relational in the same sense that the Relational Model does. From the title, I was hoping to see a database with a relational (I.e., not SQL) language.

I enjoy reading Cage a lot more than listening to his music (for that matter, he was fine with not being called a musician if people deemed his work not worthy of that, I can’t recall exactly but I believe sound architect is the alternative

Exactly this. There surely are people who are depressed for no “obvious” reason and years of therapy could help with that. But if, say, you’re in an abusive relationship, all a therapist can do is tell you to leave the relationship, not hel

First, I didn’t get the idea that in the parent post all the answers were from a single individual. I got the impression it was a summary of exchanges with different people. Second, I have met people who have families but neither home to mo

Your first paragraph targets world leaders but then your comments seem a bit ageist to me when IMHO they apply to most people regardless of age: > We're having a frigging > climate crisis and still > not acting on it. So -nope

I had a heart attack a few years ago and while I kind of know the fear is not very rational, I still wanted to be able to continue driving and not feel like I could hurt or even kill someone if I get another one that kills me while at the w

It's way cheaper and safer if they just ride a bus/taxi/the car of their "designated driver friend" instead, all with tech that's already here. I'm way more interested in self-driving (and, more broadly, d

That is exactly how I use it and it works great for that. Among other things, I love that I can subscribe to RSS feeds and then save individual items I want to be able to reference later on. Before that I tried several things, local bookmar

I’m only replying on the Internet, I’ve never given anyone baby advice (or any other, for that matter) I wasn’t asked for. That said, breastfeeding is the only way babies were fed for almost all of our species time here. IMHO, if anything n

This is not the same concept but it reminded me of the Collective Cognitive Imperative as introduced by Julian Jaynes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_cognitive_imperativ... I may be misremembering (which, in

But what you believe alters reality, there’s a feedback loop involved. I get your point that the color of your first car won’t change, but is there even an objective color to that car? My dad is colorblind and sees some colors differently t

I don’t practice mindfulness, and I’m certainly not a neuroscientist. That said, from the study linked in the article you referenced to I don’t get the conclusion that the exact opposite has been proven true. I can see roughly 1/4 of p

The most important precaution is daily cleaning of litter boxes, since the parasite does not become infectious until after a day of being expelled from the cat through its feces. Also, cats only spread the parasite for up to three weeks aft
