> But 10 years later somehow you don’t know quite know what problems are worth working on How would someone notice this? It's not like they can run multiple 10-year experiments and notice a pattern.

Person who draws comparison from current situation to derivatives points out that derivatives rules don't apply to current situation. Awesome stuff.

Perhaps there's some adjustment possible? Worth asking at least.

There are definitely some brands that market "laser lights". Now, they're not really lasers, but still. https://www.bmw.com/en/innovation/dr-hanafi-and-the-bmw-lase...

I assumed the self leveling led whatever wonder-tech-wizz cannot be aimed. If they can, that should be the first reaction of someone who is getting flashed at a lot. As opposed to flashing back. It's not a headlight-measuring-contest.

> whatever lights you want For the cars I owned, only one set of official lights existed. Aftermarket would be nearly guaranteed to be worse quality and poorer alignment. And no changing them in the warranty period either. Car parts are

I'm the one who's flashing you. I'm flashing you because your headlights are bothering me. Showing me that you can bother me even more does not make it better. Still, obviously, nothing you can do, or the driver in general.

Non sequitur. Pointing out an intermediate step changes nothing about how bad or good the issue is or how appropriate or inappropriate the reaction is.

Why is that important? Sounds like saying "well before winter comes, autumn must come first". Yeah duh, so what? Winter is still coming, if anyone cares about it.

Those are arguments why voting does not produce a perfect outcome. That's different than "voting doesn't work". Using arguments like yours nothing can ever work. Society is complex and there will always be someone somewh

Why is cellular signal required for lessons? I went through 12 years of school in Eastern Europe without anyone in the entire country having cellular signal, or cellular phones. (Well mostly, towards the end they appeared, but had no effect

Funny, we make plastics from petroleum, so it looks like some particular carbon atoms just don't want to go back in the circuit.

Who else can and will stop the infernal machine other than the people? Can't see anyone. I hope you're wrong and expecting people to cope is not nonsense, because expecting the FDA or UN or Trump or Xi to do it is even more nonsen

You too can change direction easier if there is an object (like a pole or something) you can push/pull against. Try it, maybe it will help your intuition. Run towards a pole and then try to come back around it, once without touching it

Isn't your example actually perfectly elastic? It does not change the conclusion at all, of course. One problem with this analysis is that I can't imagine Trump doing it, or even understanding it. Well, it's not a problem wit

If homo sapiens is to survive, we had better have the capacity to see the truth even if sometimes the messenger of that truth falls to human faults, like exaggeration or even straight lies. That's just how things are. If we depend on t

Yeah, imho lots of people need reminding that billionaires are just regular joes with a very large bank account. With all the regular joe's faults. Would be useful to remember that if Musk or Bezos say something, it may have the same c

As a romanian, I must tell you that "anything in the EU" is overly optimistic. Maybe anything in Western Europe...

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but also I can't discern a single bit of useful information in your comment. It is all tautologies, and would apply to any human endeavour. Yes, nothing is perfect, it's possible to ma

Something I read in the story is that the legal system fails to do its job: to make society fair. There are contracts and lawyers in the story, but they do not work toward ensuring fairness or justice, they work to help the company with mor

Thanks for explaining. Imho AMD itself needs to have a theory, which underpins their signing of the deal. For my clueless self, that investors have various theories and we don't know what they are is ok-ish, but that AMD has a theory b
