I was thinking in terms of casualties per miles driven. Agreed that this definition doesn't capture all the danger.

Agreed! My point is not so much as whether it's possible, it's as whether the analogy holds, which I think it doesn't, since no companies are trying to create unicorns.

Is whether unicorns are possible an open question? Even if it is, does anyone care about it? Are any companies actively trying to create unicorns?
244.
by walkhour 5y ago
Doesn't the analogy fail given autonomous vehicles are eventually possible and pursued and unicorns not?

Driving is already a Russian roulette right? If autonomous vehicles are safer than human drivers as advertised the barrel would just have more capacity.

Most comments here are attacking the decision, or just quoting the decision, and following it up by a "wtf". Just being shocked is not an argument. Jews are or have been persecuted in all middle eastern countries. What would happe

Isn't this the dream of every revolution? Sure, to gain power, but also you give it back to who they hate. Also, all the people using the phrase "reverse racism" are wondering the same. It looks to me like the powerful oppres

Is Israel losing its support? Hasn't quantifiable monetary support towards Israel been growing for decades? Just look at the list of US allies and the kind of laws they pass, think of Arabia Saudi, a good US ally that had been tormenti

I agree with your first paragraph. Your second paragraph is one of the worst analogies I've seen in a while. You have to find a bordering country with a different religion with whom USA has been at war for decades.

I wish this was better explained to the public like myself. Every now and then someone comes along and says: "there's no evidence the virus was engineered in a lab". But what would the evidence look like? For example, is it p

Yes, but many countries have joined voluntarily, so at least they think NATO defends their interests as well.

You could argue the English press did it because they thought it was the best for the country. This is obviously not the case of this particular government-sponsored program, they have no problem seeing blood on the streets, in fact they kn

Can't it be both? Problems get worse when they are not addressed and foreign governments contribute to demoralizing the population?

It's hard not to feel sympathetic for any group of civilians subject to air bombing. In WWII this happened mainly in Germany and Japan, which were massively punished after 1941, specially in 1944 and 1945, when virtually no bombs fell

Agreed, using race as a proxy for all "unfairness" it's simply mathematically wrong. Imagine discarding such an important confounder as economic status.

Every protest will have that one percent of idiots that will make it violent. Whether you ignore them or obsess over them tells more about you than about the protest.
