It's that YouTube movie where micro drones are essentially like magic heat-seeking bullets that scares me the most. Targeted assassinations that are unstoppable with modern defenses - useful for both the terrorists and bloodthirsty n

Exactly. Rebuilding public transport in a completely inefficient way + buzzword of the decade (AI) = investors love it.

This sounds awesome - got a link?

Isn't that local law enforcement? Or have they decided that's not their job anymore?

If we only had a government agency that could hold these companies to account for anti-consumer design.

Could some of it be due to the tax write-off for a large vehicle (over 6k lb)? https://www.financialsamurai.com/tax-rules-for-buying-a-vehi...

Quite simple if you think of Darwinian evolution - those who get more (and their offspring) outcompete you and your offspring for a limited resource so a resource struggle ensues.

Yes, but the quality of the self-driving Tesla has is 10x less capable than Cruise - I don't know anyone who actually uses "self-driving" with any degree of confidence.

In my experience, no. I keep getting calls from my elderly dad, but the notification level can be dialed up or down - in my case, I get very few spam notifications. Put it on DND and it's almost zero. If you happen to have full notif

You can't browse, play interesting games, you can't doomscroll, you literally can't do any of the addictive or distracting things that phones are notorious for.

This is probably all due to Tesla's supercharger network. If you like your EV, but your family's 2nd gas car needs replacement - and you have supercharger network, you can tour without any limitations. If you don't, you now

It means "don't complain about other people who have a reasonable complaint" - it doesn't in fact make you look smart.

Personally seeing a doubling of price while studios aren't releasing anything because of the stupid war against the actors guild is just an affront to my sense of decency. I was going to say Disney+ was going to stay because my kids lo

Threads and Facebook were supposed to be differentiated. Tying Threads to IG to FB just sounds like they want to marge it all. Sounds like Threads is beleaguered.

This is not true at all. What it means is that an ISP can't prioritize their own video service over say, Netflix. Or their own (perhaps ad-infested) download service vs a straight ISO download from a distro's site.

FTA: "Braking performance was one of the worst areas of the report. Tesla’s engineers were aiming for a score of 7, or “fair,” on the Society of Automotive Engineers rating scale, but the alpha version achieved only a 4, or “poor” rat

The M3 has great looks to me. I’d own one if I didn’t purchase an EV a year before they became generally available.

I mean if you don't look at the thing, on paper it's fantastic. When you get to the looks - well, let's just say I canceled my order last year because I couldn't imagine myself driving it (in addition to the fact that i

Blame this on the "government can't do anything right" party that gets into power and then proves themselves correct by shutting down efforts for the government to actually do things (because ideology).

The government owns all the land and gives you a more-or-less yearly subscription to keep your land at a reasonable cost. If you are a landlord then you're just a middle-man who can profit.

Do you have examples of LVT causing displacement & instability that's greater than what you get with astronomical housing costs in our normal property tax regime?

If they had carte-blanche they could have simply modified Defender anti-virus to see key components of Firefox (and later Chrome) as malware. They have done this kind of thing before: https://www.justice.gov/atr/memoran

A fully unrestrained Microsoft would have kneecapped Apple in so many ways late 90s/early 2000s. Apple would have struggled to be able to focus on the iPod and other products. Firefox/Chrome are yet another clear example where Mi
