You are naive about cops, at least in the US, and what they will or will not do and what consequence they may or may not face.

Weight, price, drivetrain all are terrible as others have said you would be much better off spending much less on a simple al bike.

Yeah. And creating those resources cost less and less with less human labor every year.

Part of the deal with progress should be that we all start working less. If not is the progress all that attractive? Improved health so we can all work more is kinda stupid.

It's not equally distributed. In Boston, MA area kids have as much autonomy as their parents wish to give them AFAIK. It's not uncommon to see 10 year olds in my town nearby they are doing all sorts of biz around town on their own

This is just doomerism and painting with a planet wide brush. IMHO it's not so simple. There has been much laudable and scientific progress in the past 50 years. Higgs Boston discovery and mRNA vaccines being two that come to mind. And

Crowdstrike certainly comes out looking terrible. The fact that Delta might have also made mistakes is weak sauce.

I think you just don't come off very convincing.

Blue cross has $450 / mo negotiated rate. Medicare can do better than that and government has started doing negotiations for drugs.

There are a lot of things China does which limits US reach within their country that the US, as a more free society, would not be a good fit for the US. This seems to me to be one of things we probably should not have done.

It’s kinda funny that the Waymo car is so impatient. I’m pretty sure in this situation I would have just waited until the group ride cleared out to ahead of me and then continued. I would not want to crowd or find my way around them. If I w

I often find the definition of ultra processed difficult. I put pea protein powder in my smoothies. That is certainly ultra processed however it has good macro nutrients and is not empty calories. I understand the concept of “empty calories

Pretty sure, for all you weirdos with poor senses of humor, that the folks behind this do more to preserve retro computers than most of you put together. This was a beautiful art project that is well and humorously presented.

Single core still lags way behind. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has same single core at a 3 year old A15. They are staying even / besting apple in multicore through adding more cores than apple does.

I wonder if they QA with different ad blockers. This would be much more interesting if we knew the exact mechanism of the slowdown.

Selective enforcement is difficult to discern, even with large population statistics, and more so in individual cases. It requires comparing similar situations and then constructing an argument that will probably be unsatisfactory. However,

I kinda like all of them. My kid, when they were little, starting calling them robots. e.g. “Dad, look at that robot!”

As a paid ChatGPT user for many months now I’m glad they move so fast making the service better. I happily take that over a slowly improving but always reliable service. Let reliability come later. For now it’s great they move fast even at

I would prefer a government that investigates all the bad acts of LEOs. I would prefer a government that investigates the rich. I would prefer a government that investigates wage theft.

If a restaurant line cook could work from home they very well might want to. Software work can, most of the time, be done from home. So the question of if it should be done from home is valuable and worthy of discussion. All workers deserve

It’s super gross that Apple and Google are taking a cut of these abusive business models.

Apple doesn't prioritize it. And it is a bummer. Leaves it to the community, but then their OSes are so locked down that its probably a harder problem than on other platforms. History matters and Apple could invest a bit here to go a l

This is a super messed up view point. Eugenics by horrible disease? In any case lower childhood mortality actually reduces birth rates. So your goal of less people will be met through a moral and ethical action of creating medicines rather
