I did not write what I wrote in a vacuum, it was a response to a post that should make it more than obvious enough what I was talking about. I'm going to quote if here for you: >"Confession time... I really want to see…
I'm sure that if you read what I wrote again I wrote "not noticably automated" rather than "not automated", specifically for that reason. People don't know that it's there, it's just the way the car naturally handles…
Right, which is why I said "not noticably automated" rather than "not automated".
I don't see what the two have to do with each other. Technical reasons aren't why we don't have self-driving trains, it's just that the economy of things becomes very different when your vehicle is about a kilometre or…
Those numbers are great and all, if you ignore human behaviour. Nobody's saying that wearing a helmet doesn't make you safer if you are in an accident, that's just a strawman. The real issue is such things as driver…
I can only imagine that they would get quite annoyed at you, sinve you're ignoring the question and nitpicking on the circumstances. What you're doing is the equivalent of claiming that the Chinese Room argument holds…
It isn't crazy. He's crazy. If I search for the equivalent of "rape" on an aggregator of news, I see one case of a rape 12th of September. A man was arrested for suspected rape on the 9th. Man being charged for brutal…
Why are you so keen on handing over the decision of austerity measures or not while in a recession, for example, to unelected politicians?
You're joking, but the Visa application does ask this already: "Do you seek to engage in terrorist activities while in the United States or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities?”
People seem to enjoy watching Usain Bolt run, and he certainly doesn't seem to be struggling. Not to mention that he's much less fast compared to the average person compared with climbers.
What does not being able to watch a beheading have to do with "handling the real world"?
The "original team", i.e. Marco Arment, moved on years ago anyway.
That's absolutely untrue. It does no such thing. All it means that as long as you're acting within the norms of our times you're morally neutral. Who has ever aspired to that? "Are you a moral person?" -> "Well, you…
I find it curious how some people seem to not believe in moral relativism. Do they not recognise that by doing so they are saying that they themselves are "evil" and immoral? If you look at the contemporaries of the…
Absolutely not true. If anything, El Capitan improves performance.
I get scared when I hear how many Turkish people talk about the Gülenist movement. The similarities to communism in the US during the 50s and 60s is striking. Sure, based on a "true story" but in the same way that the…
Are you sure that you didn't simply misunderstand what he was doing? When you're used to five degrees celsius water in the summer there really is no such thing as "too cold to enter"...
Social tension is very bad for the stability that allows us to ensure that all have access to food and medicine.
Do you believe that there are any illegal tax arragements used by YC's companies? Because I have to say that if there is not, the problem is on the governments side - not theirs, and trying to have the business side of…
Look. You're renting an apartment with four other people and you're all sharing the rent. Then one guy decides that he only wants to pay the rent for the square meters that represent his room, but he still wants to get…
Being a part of the EEA and not the EU basically means that you accept most rules from the EU while not being able to influence anything. The UK really has put themselves in a bad situation here. The main reason people…
You deal with that by restrictions of noise. Outlawing minarets to stop noise is like banning vodka to stop alcohol drinking. It doesn't make any sense.
I think that what gets confusing for a lot of us from Europe is taht we don't generally have temperature control of our homes like that. There might be some kind of radiators for heating, but that's generally it.
Because it's an idiotic simplification, like writing that "people in power in today's USA understand the only kind of arguments - money. Money of different kinds, but still - overwhelmingly money. This approach…
I'm amazed that you were amazed. Seems like the perfect job to me. Not only because economically it's obviously fantastic, but also because she came to a company with significant resources and were basically given the…
