Indeed:

That to me is the much, much bigger issue than the interest rate (or more accurately “effective” interest rate). I have no clue about New York state law on the subject, but in a lot of jurisdictions that sort of advertising for the price should be treated as a consumer protection or deceptive trade act violation.

Empathy is for the people who do at least the bare minimum to protect themselves. If this was just a question of him just not being shown the finance documents, I could have some empathy because I could imagine the dealer lying about the terms of the transaction or some genuine misunderstanding. But if someone tells…

I suspect that she wasn’t in the vehicle’s path when the system first categorized her as a “stationary object.”

does the bicyclist have zero sense of self-preservation? Did she not see / hear / feel that car bearing down on her?

She presumably wasn’t in the car’s path when the system first picked her up.

I don’t see many people claiming it was exclusively the victim’s fault. I do see lots of people pointing out 100% correctly that the pedestrian also did a number of things that contributed to her own death in addition to the negligence of the safety monitor and the apparent defects in the car’s systems. If I was…

This is something I’ve been wondering about — how much of a “lane deviation” do these systems permit for accident avoidance purposes? I’m guessing that they are substantially more conservative than a human drive would be similar circumstances.

I’m extremely skeptical that they’ve been altering the video — they have to know there’s going to be a far more extensive investigation of this than a typical car crash and that, if the deceased has any sort of family/guardians, a spectacularly high profile lawsuit. Manipulating the video of the crash would literally…

Right, this is especially true at the local level — there are plenty of municipalities with Democratic mayors, DAs, city council majorities, etc., but where the black share of the electorate is virtually a rounding error. Conversely, outside of a handful of cities and congressional districts, it’s literally impossible…

Jones JUST voted the same way Roy Moore would have voted.

Did you not read the post? There’s a 70-story one in Tokyo that’s in the planning stage.

“Marix Hinojosx,” please!

It’s particularly baffling because the original story isn’t even that good. I mean, seriously, does anyone know anyone else who enjoyed the book as a kid?

Yeah, as soon as I read that detail in the review, I thought that it made perfect sense given that it’s a Japanese game. You need more South American software development outfits for a proper flourishing of butt design mechanics.

Yes, indeed it is.

There wasn’t quite that discrepancy in size, but there used to be a Russian pairs team probably 15 or 20 years ago where the woman would launch the man on one of the throws in their routine (he would throw her on the others). I can’t recall their names offhand though, unfortunately.

It’s funny because it’s true....

Except that every single day we trivialize brutality — “This job is killing me,” “My wife will murder me if I’m late,” etc.
