What's the guarantee that a taxi driver will take you where you want to go? You can't inspect his software either. A taxi driver could feasibly just leave the taxi and take his keys with him but practically that doesn't happe

Most of the population lives on Oahu, which doesn't have any volcanic activity anymore as far as I know. I would be a little curious as the why the Big Island doesn't do geothermal, though. If Hawaii could get cheap geothermal pow

Firstly, "easily corruptible" just isn't currently true in most western countries. Also the question with blockchain is how you manage identidies and audit it while still having it be anonymous and really easy to use. It&#

The thing is that you can't just enact regulations that take place immediately. You can't just have the government stop doing its job because they are going to be leaving soon and if the next president wants to stop the regulation

As a fit Midwesterner it's seen as good (and it made dating easier). There are plenty of fit Midwesterners so being fit in the Midwest isn't weird at all in my experience

In my experience the blameless culture is supposed to talk about problems but not blame people for them. Maybe it's like agile and people took the idea and implemented something almost opposite of the original intention

Generally the market will pay someone what their productivity is or some other company will poach that worker. This is an oversimplification but in general the market should price workers at roughly what their productivity is, assuming the

Healthy food is often more expensive but there are healthy options for cheap. Rice, beans, and vegetables are all pretty cheap and can form the base for a lot of different meals. The hardest part for me eating healthy was having to relearn

It'll actually probably be hard to do it unnoticed. My guess is that self driving accidents will be heavily scrutinized to try to figure out why it happened. Also the government already can kill pretty much anyone at any time with vari

I'm under the impression that empire is generally a collection of nations being administered collectively, generally under a single ruler called an emperor, rather than just being a term for a powerful nation. The British Empire ruled

I don't get what makes this particular use of wealth any worse than any other way rich people spend money. He did it because he wanted to, not to rub it in people's faces at all.

I don't get why it's distasteful that he launched his own car into space. It's his car and he can do whatever he wants with it. I get the stuff about wealth inequality but this is hardly the most egregious use of wealth

I think the issue is that it's hard to know which sources are actually safe and part of the reason people are so serious about disinfecting water is that it's generally just so easy

It's necessary for testing to launch something so it's either this or a big block of concrete. Also it's being launched into solar orbit and there's lots of space out there

I think the issue is that basic medical care is enormously expensive in the US. Other countries will have similar outcomes for much less money. This is an entirely separate point but your argument about stealing doesn't seem related to

The economy was already growing strongly under Obama (the end of Obama's term was comparable to the start of Trump's term). The tax cut probably will increase growth, though, similarly to how Obama's stimulus did

In my experience it's the opposite. The creation of more and more complicated code led to more complicated languages, not the other way around. Some stuff is just going to be complicated regardless of language and if you use a less co

If money is stolen from the bank it's the bank that loses money, not you. I think banks are generally insured against theft but if if they did lose a lot of money from a theft I'm under the impression that they would fail and the
