Hit them where it hurts: Ban all family members of anybody in Indian government from entering the US for any reason. Not for school, nor a job, nor even a short vacation to visit other family members. Limit this ban to Indian politicians

It's bitchy, vindictive, bitter, holds grudges and is eager to write off others as "bad people". Yup, they trained it on reddit.

I think it was his move to spotify that was the inflection point. I used to watch a handful of his podcasts on youtube each year, whenever I saw that he had interesting guests on (and not just his unfunny comedian friends or MMA fighters..

Don't fix it if it ain't broke. Despite Elon Musk behaving stupidly in many other aspects and areas, SpaceX is still working well. Whatever dynamic Musk and Shotwell have between them, it's obviously working out well. So

It sure does seem weird that something as fundamentally efficient as trains are supposedly so hard to run economically that treating workers properly just isn't economically feasible. Of course it is feasible, but the transit corps a

Exactly this. Nobody claiming this shit is safe will put their lives where their mouths are. Nobody in this thread moaning about people not trusting the experts will consider moving their families into this town to show the rest of us how

Airline accidents kill hundreds of people outright. The media gives those stories tons of attention ( If it bleeds, it leads ) and accordingly the airline industry knows it must take safety seriously to protect their profits. Meanwhile the

We need a return to WYSIWYG principles. Any metadata stored in a file should be shown to the user in some way, to make them aware of that metadata existing. And if the metadata is incomprehensible to the user, then maybe it shouldn't

Avoiding that sort of collateral damage is why they've developed the AGM-114R9X, aka the "sword missile". It has no explosive warhead, instead it has 6 blades that unfold right before impact. It can turn anybody in one spec

It's the plot of quite a few animes. At least a few episodes of Patlabor and Ghost in the Shell SAC. Although in these cases it's AI controlled tanks or mechs.
