As someone who has worked on self driving for a few years, and holds some patents in the space - I do not feel at all qualified to make a guess. It is always a little odd to me, then, to see how many folks are. Can we all tone down the conf

This person conflates file and file system in some ways that reveal him to be a rank amateur. This is a textbook example of chesterton's fence.

Thanks for saying my comment doesn't matter, and writing it off. Very productive, and inquisitive. Perhaps you do not have much experience here, but semantics matter, A LOT, when one makes accusations. Were the blog framed more generou

This person has no understanding of what a Monopoly is. A high value service realizing it delivers more value than it initially thought, and raising prices... is not a monopoly. That's just business, life, etc. A monopoly would be if:

The idea of a power source that, when failed, can wipe out a significant amount of live-able land, large swaths of population, irradiate rivers, etc, seems insane. The risk reward factor just does not seem to be there. Sure there are redund

This is not grounded in reality. Arab citizens can vote and participate, and there are Arab parties in Israeli government. If you want to see an apartheid, go look at any other country in the middle east. Let's see how Jewish represent

You call it an issue, I call it a boon. I do not want nuclear power approved quickly, or easily. I want it to be burdensome, difficult, and with a massive requirement for proving out safety in even the most unlikely of scenarios. This area

I know a lot of the comments here are from the lens of money input (as a cost, to pay for education) and output (as a return, on the investment, in the form of a job / career). However, I wanted to take a step back and offer a differen

I am not sure this is a good argument, if only because the upper bound potential for damage is so much higher. > the combustion of fossil fuels regularly kills 4.2 million people per year, year after year and counting. The combustion o

I do not understand the argument for nuclear. The risk never seems worth the reward. Clean now? Yes. Cheap now? Yes. Potentially catastrophic? Yes. This feels like an unnecessary risk to take on. The lessons of three mile island, Chernobyl,

What a strange question. It reads like one of those weirdly-specific tshirts. And yes. I have personally used Tesla's products in California, in May, when it wasn't raining, after a small lunch I made at home.

Telsa is one of the most evil, malicious, companies, in that it knows that what it has is well short of self-driving, and yet markets it as such. This leads to deaths. Their marketers have blood on their hands.

Between your name, the overuse of ellipsis to suggest conspiracy, and the vague usage of "they", I do think you are probably not engaging in good faith. You're also super wrong. https://patents.google.com/pate
