I agree with you, but I have to correct myself as well. I mean compare US to other countries where national free health care is available. These are basic human rights which simply ignord by the government in the US. Workers need benefits

Workers have no choice but to get W2 status to get health care insurance, retirement compensation, etc. And they fix it by simply moving them as FT employees, because to the State of California that's the easiest thing they can do. S

Upvote mad on this. This is exactly what I have been saying to all of my friends who quitted social media. One of aspects was also the narrow view social media creates for bipolarizing spectrum of one's opinions using extremistic news

Given that it is an OS from a China-fund company, I would hesitate to use it as much as I can away from surveillance. It is almost guarantee that backdoor will be there.

Sure, so it's the same for the kids. We never expect a 7-yrs old mature enough to make such judgement. But the choice is still there with their parents. Does that choice exist for these folks in Xinjiang Uyghur regions? Is it free t

Education is a choice. You can choose to be educated by religious schools, or going to public schools. To those in Xinjiang Uyghur regions, this is not a choice.

"Transformation camps" on your thoughts and how you think. Hmm.. That sounds wrong to me.

Upvote this! Just because other regimes had done something bad, it does not remove the fact that this is also bad. 2 wrongs don't make it a right.

I wouldn't think this is a product problem, but a low-hanging fruit technical problem that they can just address it if they had enough demand for this. This is also not a new problem in this space. And it has been done in the past.

But the DNA matching is just revealing the facts though which is true. Emotionally it is hard, but it's just revealing a fact.

Even the reaction is within 0.1s for the machine, you cannot brake and stop immediately. This is physics, and a mechanical problems. Please remove the software mindset when looking into this.

Don't Uber already provide that? I saw it in NYC (maybe they pick few cities now to test this out) https://help.uber.com/h/3abcbae1-132b-42a9-8277-0dab00fa3879

Good to know! But I am more curious for the data cover every self-driving vehicles, not just about Uber. It could be Uber is doing worse, but my ask is whether we (as an industry) is still on a right direction for this "bold bet"

I think the self-driving initiative is not about beating the human counterpart at launch, but at least on par with the performance done by human. That itself has huge value in efficiency and saving time. Slowly with many AI-driven vehicles

Statistically speaking, I am curious to know the data on these areas: - number of miles driven per fatal accident on self-driving - number of miles driven per fatal accident on a human driver. It is important to know whether our machine is

Hmm... I don't know, but my app is less heavyweight on said WhatsApp than a bloated WeChat. But that's my opinion. When I send a message, why does it need to be so bloated. I just wanna send a message. Does being lightweight a fea
