Wow. Can you imagine what would happen if an American car company’s fully automated driving were responsible for the death of three teenagers in a fiery crash in Nevada?
I can only assume there’d be a full recall, the CEO would go on TV to apologize and resign.
But not everyone can be a beacon of freedom.
Operation Sea Spray
COINTELPRO
MK Ultra
Good thing it’s terrible and will eat the resources of any business foolish enough to attempt to actually replace workers with it.
This guy’s a giant piece of shit. I can’t believe he’s even in government. You’d have to be a real asshole to give this guy a government job where he’s actually running things and able to affect people’s lives.
Yeah… The spectrum of options arrayed before us appear to be heavily weighted towards enforcing arbitrary hierarchies which is… Not ideal.
“hey ho we love Joe!”
“Stop! Being! Mean! To! Us!”
“Our donors are mad!”
I think whether we like it or not economic systems have forced their way into our political systems.
And anyone with any existing power is strongly incentivized to kill any “new ideas” in the womb. As they would most likely represent a departure from the current system that they benefit from.
Any dramatic restructuring is going to be a very “significant” event. We may currently be on the precipice of one such event in the United States, this remains to be seen. The existing power structures have been significantly destabilized and pre-existing norms and rules are being outright ignored.
Power will shift, it remains to be seen how much and to where.
In any case, we may have the opportunity for you to see some new interesting governmental concepts, or perhaps a return to some classics, or a mix of the two (a little overtly capitalist fuedalism perhaps?).
We sure do live in interesting times.
One important thing for people to think about right now is “what happens when other countries don’t accept deportees?”
They start to stack up. Housing, feeding, and guarding “dangerous undesirables” is expensive.
Surely, it would be patriotic to save your country money…
It might be too late. It might not, who’s to say. Videos from this weekend have a very familiar ring to them though.
Common mistake. They based the movie on my life.
I learned magic then the cult followed. I meant to learn sleight of hand magic, but accidentally ended up with blood magic instead. The demons won’t let me sleep, but I haven’t missed a white rhino payment yet. (I wanted to go with a regular think cause who the hell wants to pay the premium, but to be honest the blood just contrasts so much better with the white rhino, it was a no brainer)
It’s not all theHill’s fault, there’s plenty of blame to go around.
The wrt54g was a workhorse, but the cooling…
Democrats hated “the gays” too until like 15 years ago.
It’s the same as rainbow corporatism. It’s all a facade used for political expediency. It’s never actually about human rights. Both parties deserve the fates they get. Unfortunately they’ll do everything they can to take us down with them.
I’ve got one and they’re safe enough to visit any shipwreck.
I took mine to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
Only wusses don’t hop on and immediately go as deep as possible.
Also, working physical interfaces for everything where possible.
Lights that come on auto-magically are great, low light after bed time, that shuts itself off after you stumble back to bed, etc.
But you also need to allow overrides, like someone double taps the lights on you override the automations for an hour or two to handle corner cases like when your 6 year old pukes all over the hall and bathroom and you need cleaning light not stumbling light.
Also, light switches and lamps should work like light switches and lamps for guests, because these interfaces aren’t bad, they work, well even.
I’m marking this thread as “No Reply”
Take that, voters.
NYT is and always has been a pro-violence mouthpiece for capital.
They’ve accidentally done some good journalism here and there but I’m hard pressed to find it right now.
But it can when they take it through the car wash after lol
Liberals and fascists must both defend capital even when doing so is in direct conflict with their stated aims.
They are on the same team.
Comcast et al have taken (literal) billions of public dollars to expand rural broadband service.
Instead of laying fiber, they used that money to change the definition of broadband.
If corporations are people we need to be able to institute the death penalty for them too.
