It's not government funded or planned. Although the establishment seems to like it unlike that one on the law courts.

The statue in particular I think is not bad as art. Certainly it had a lot of people looking at it - a hundred of so when I visited, more than most public art. I thought it more inspiring as in suggesting rising above nationalism than most

I think he meant the statue would be unchanged but the meaning of it would be.

I live in central London where the the statue is and I think can confidently say there are more other flags than St George cross ones. Personally I kind of thought of Russia which is about the only lot marching off to war with Russian and Z

I remember back when I was in university a long while ago all the PhDs had fees except for material science where you could get paid to do one because there was so much demand for the research.

Dunno what it's like in Cali but in the UK nearly all tickets are generated by automatic cameras and arrive in the post to the registered keeper of the vehicle.

I don't think you are legally allowed to deliberately crash into things even if they are annoying. The law in that video - ticketing cyclists for not being in the bike lane - surprised me. There's nothing like that in the UK.

As a cyclist and driver I figure you have to use some common sense. I probably break some regulations all the time like stopping where you are not supposed to briefly but being safe and not inconveniencing others is the main thing.

We've had public transportation for a couple of centuries and no where has it really led to a road death free utopia. I like public transport but no harm trying something new.

I also hope AV will reduce road deaths in the future but I don't think what will make the difference is regulatory. Rather the tech will advance from doesn't work to works in Waymos but is expensive to works in most cars and has b

I'm not sure either side in Trump vs the Ayatollahs is good. I feel for the ordinary people though who are the ones wanting Stalinks.

There's something about the transformer model where you stick a lot of data in and output tokens that kicks out stuff which is kind of average without much underlying understanding. I'm looking forward to AI that goes beyond that

I've always argued for a carbon tax which never gets implemented but maybe blocking Hormuz and blowing up Russia's stuff is the way to do it?

Locking people up for stealing millions is pretty standard and a lot of normal people support it. Would you like people to steal your money / property without punishment?

There's a limit to what we can do. Things were kind of stable before Trump went in bombing everything and I guess we a hoping he'll calm down and things can go on. There isn't an easy military solution to opening the straits
