"Safe" is a simplification, but some practices are obviously wrong, like less than the length of two vehicles at 120 kmH. Some off-road hazard can inject itself onto the road without notice. All vehicles would be creeping along t

I agree, but if I understood correctly your previous reasoning, the passengers of the robotic vehicle put themselves 'in the game', not only more than roadside bystanders, but also more than others in vehicles that are driven resp

Example: a truck stops in front of the autodriving car, too quickly for it to stop in time. Not sure if it matters for your example, but if that happens to a human, it's his fault for not keeping a safe following distance. It could

Thank you! no way that I could know that words and phrasings were intentionally dumb from the translation, though the meaning I knew. I'll better look for a different nonsensical bit taken from another song :)

Or not. Tension is a key ingredient of fiction that people pays for. If you're imagining a world to flee from reality it could be very bland and unrealistic.

70? Nope, it still happened in the seventies, been there, done that. My parents didn't like it, but my aunt had a bottle and sometimes gave me a shot. It was a very light drink, though, no high. What people here would find unbelievable

If it's in the ingredients list, it is added. There's also a macronutrients table in every packaged article. There is exactly one common brand of mayo that has no added sugar. One. And there's no way to buy sugar-free version

Sounds bad, but just change "dumb" for "naive" or "biased" and we agree. To be more specific, it helps me identify the ways people gets behind some weird idea and maybe why. Same goes for the negativity that so

So many municipalities would kill for a large number of people to come in, pay locals and local taxes, and then leave without using any social services. A cruise ship can be a giant loophole that leaves all externalities to others. Even A

What I learned was that just figuring out the right answer is indifferent to change people’s minds, even in science. The further from experimental confirmation some question is, the bigger chance that people will ignore evidence in favour

I love HN but, let's be honest, we are often tone-deaf. Very much. When the author writes "the past is not true", he's not trying to make a Physics or Epistemology point of any kind. He's just telling that we tortur

Fantasque too and I add another reason: Comic Mono lacks proper support for Spanish.

The fact that so much SicFi seems to have good reception but gets cancelled anyway seems to point to this audience being too tech savvy for their own good. That already happened when the series where only on tv, so sorry, I don't buy

Please, before assuming you know what I mean, read the complete comment. The trouble with Wikipedia is that it's an inch deep. That's not its biggest problem. Wikipedia is biased. Of course there's political bias in the Ame

Java almost took pride in making the developer jump through extra hoops That's exactly it. A holier-than-thou stance, reprised by most comments in this post. Checked exceptions were a PITA. Someone has recommended to use another lang

I've seen statistics proposed as the force that makes reality, that would be fundamentally random, coherent. But statistics laws are themselves very strong when numbers get big.

I read it later, in my twenties, it was very entertaining, but I don't really remember anything now. The title is absolutely great.

Well, it's there in the title of the article, so don't shoot me. If the premise of the article is bs, it doesn't make sense to discuss efficiency. Is it nonsensical though? IDK, it seems somehow better than extracting the gas

Making any type of chemical energy carrier comes with substantial losses The goal presented in the article seems to be cleaning the atmosphere, not generating chemicals. So H2 and ammonia would be irrelevant. And it's not so much abo

I haven't used it, so not sure if it fits the pattern, but the question for me is: is it useful, time-saving, more usable? does it make the task more clear for the programmer that uses it?

The many "you're wrong if you believe that" made me remember the anecdote of Alan Kay attending some conference about OOP and saying that it was wrong, that he invented OOP and it was not like that. IIRC, Kay's vision is

On the contrary, it is much more efficient. One size doesn't fit all. The bad systems die when that's possible. When there is only one, a problem becomes a bottleneck.

Basically everything a few times That's a very good idea. Really. In tirannies there's only one thing of each. When that thing breaks, you're sorely out of luck. People associate diversity with justice. But diversity is in
