This is testable. The profits of car insurance companies should rise (let’s say substantially) in real dollars as accident payouts decrease as a result of the inevitable dominance of autonomous vehicles.
I'm just casually familiar with guns, if I saw an AR-15, I'd call it an AK-47. Or a machine gun. Every single human walking the earth has an iPhone or its replicant. It's good to have a fandom.
Before the Glorious and Bloody Revolution, just Dollar Cost Average your way into a tech-investing stock fund. Ugh, capitalism.
"Roughly 58% of American adults own stock" This includes my teenager, who socks away $30/week in a VOO fund account. But yeah, no one can afford to "own (shares in?) the robot factories."
If "capital interests" (ugh, capitalism) controlled democracy, please esplain: - Michael Bloomberg - Hillary Clinton (both in the 2008 primary and 2016 general) - Alex Vindman ... a simple Google search reveals that…
I grew up in South Florida (not a native), and my experience of strip malls and ever widening highways is: if there was a state below Florida, that's where the desperate and unrooted migrants would have kept driving to.…
In Soviet Russia, prices so low no inventory left!

Of course there are bad parents. I'm unlikely to encounter them, and even if I did I would probably not associate with them. But I suspect that you and anyone else on this thread offering thoughtful responses, are not…
Do you have any examples of art or culture that is unavailable?
I'm sorry for you. Genuinely. I've only read of cases like yours (I think Neko Case has a hard story).
It's possible to rationalize anything.
I've never met anyone who was sorry they had children, but I've met a lot of people who missed the opportunity (to be fair, I've never met the parents of a violent criminal). Kids can be hard, especially if you're not a…

Why aren't we storming the Library of Congress? They are the real villains here.
I loved it at the time, it was one of those shows everyone would be talking about the next day. Having to wait a week to find out what happened next was a delightful frustration. Sadly, did not hold up on a recent…
Totally agree. I'll add as an aging "woke up sore" guy, side-sleeping with a knee pillow (just a regular pillow to prevent your knees from aching from pressure) was an enormous improvement.

Okay: the car "fully" drives itself, everyday on my 35 minute commute through busy traffic on different routes depending on conditions. Obviously, our disagreement is with Tesla branding. I don't care what they call it…

Fox News' influence is greater than its (pathetic by historical standards) geriatric audience share, but it far far less influential than its opponents imagine. What changes if they were gone? Another right-leaning…

Since we're into semantics and definitions, "FULL Self Driving" does not appear as a formal, defined standard. It is a brand. What's more, it is not a lie. The vehicle "fully" self drives (for me about 95% of the time).
