I don’t know if what you’re saying is true but refusing to use technology that would prevent accidents because it will be more difficult to explain the cause of the remaining accidents is a crazy take. And the other self driving car companies use lidar so the NTSB isn’t unfamiliar with the technology.
FWIW Google/Alphabet/Waymo seem to be doing a decent job and seem to really be doing the work to deliver solid (level 4?) self driving. Tesla is just so unserious and are happy to hype their shit up and let consumers believe the hype which leaves people treating their “self-driving” car as if it is really capable of what the average person would envision when you use the term “self driving “. And then it drives through a wall like Wiley E Coyote.
Regardless, they’re clearly doing a shit job.
It’s like in school instead of learning that showing that you’re upset just encourages more teasing, he just got his dad to sue any bullies.
ETA: not that he’s being bullied here
Yeah. It’s real. Really fucking awesome :D
So his lawyer pinky promises he was horrifically beat up, but was just too noble to press charges? lol
So this dude is absolutely awful and deserves all the hate he’s getting but there was video of the beat down (lemme try and find it, one sec). It isn’t worth pressing charges because no one in Hawaii will ever convict the perpetrator. It would be political suicide for a prosecutor to even try to advance a case. I think a local politician (state senator? Mayor?) even commended the guy.
ETA: found it! Apologies for the shit source (YouTube & NY Post) but it also includes video of the state senator giving a commendation with a delightfully amused attorney in the background
No. But it still isn’t good.
I would like to live in a world where people can vote for a viable candidate who doesn’t support genocide AND who doesn’t support putting anyone in concentration camps.
Are you familiar with the candidate? Were those statements some kind of hyperbole? I can see someone casually saying “all those ICE pigs need to be thrown in alligator Alcatraz” but that would an incredibly flippant public statement from a real political candidate. Supporting Israel isn’t illegal. It’s immoral and wrong but I’m not gonna support throwing people in concentration camps for their awful opinions.
Yikes! Thanks for posting the details. That’s a whole ball of WTF.
ETA: I do like the idea of locking up ICE agents, but only ones found guilty of crimes. But I’m just picking corn out of a turd
I’m not creating an account to read the article. Are any details provided about what “extreme antisemitic views” were expressed ? The accusation of “attacks on Jewish and pro-Israel Americans and U.S. support for Israel” makes me curious because there is a lot of conflation of these distinct things lately. It is possible to want Jewish people to be healthy and thriving without supporting Netanyahu’s policies and without wanting to give Israel unconditional aid.
USA is also a democracy
Is it though?
I don’t have 1st hand experience but I’ve seen in the news that UK businesses have been hit economically because imports and exports between the UK and the EU have more taxes and regulations. I’ve also seen news stories of British retirees in Spain shocked and appalled that they now need visas and may or may not qualify.
There is always a new poll with the “lowest numbers ever!!!” yet Trump seems to consistently have a ~40% approval rate. It’s beyond frustrating.
This one only focuses on economic sentiment and is sad (people are really struggling) but also encouraging because the struggle is hitting some of Trump’s hard 40% floor of support with the clue stick. Inflation has been hammering folks for years now but the gas prices may be what finally wakes the Tump supporters up 🤞🏾.
So much of this country has shitty public transportation (or none at all) and so many people live in suburbs or exurbs where there are no sidewalks and nothing is a reasonable walking distance, especially in the freezing winters or 100+ degree summers. Additionally, the people living in cities where you can get by without a car are less likely to be Trump supporters. It may be hopium but the gas prices are such an obvious own goal, I really think the clueless are starting to wake up.
Tax the extremely wealthy until they can’t afford to buy politicians. Don’t know how we get there when the wealthy already own all the politicians. But if people with too much money can’t be trusted to play well with others, taking away their money seems like the obvious solution.
Could they start with Elon Musk, Melania Trump and Peter Theil?
He kinda started strong with trying to undo the toxic Ballmer era culture and scrambling to try to catch up on cloud infra. But even back then, the push for crazy excessive telemetry and moving pretty much all of QA into data science was the beginning of the end. And like all tech execs, AI has them losing their GD minds.
Is this including the ones actively promoted by the POTUS?
To be clear, I’m not trying to “put this on the working poor”. I 100% get why most people aren’t in a position to act. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. This is not a safe place to risk your job, doing so is often risking your life (or your kids lives).
The GOP, the political donor class and their supporters are absolutely awful and deserve the blame. However, we can’t pretend that we are 100% helpless to stop them. When we think about Nazi Germany, do we think “well, the average German didn’t really have control over the situation?”
They have had that capability for at least 7 years now so if it makes you feel any better, it’s been getting tested for a while. Interesting side note, if the car does fuck up and damage another car or injure someone, the TOS says that the owner of the vehicle is liable and Tesla has no culpability.
