It’s not that they don’t have billions, they just don’t have it in cash, therefore, it’s impossible to pay taxes on it (or at least anyone to understand how it is possible). I’d be shocked if more than 25% of adults understood that it actually is possible to tax forms of wealth that are not just cash income or…

They get away with it because Full Self Driving is the software’s name, not the operating promise. Lots of text in their disclaimer that it is not fully autonomous and drivers must remain fully alert at all times. 

There is no chance I will trust a $40k+ purchase on any automaker’s in house software. There are a lot of cell phone options and they literally change annually. Apple is well known for not playing with others and this guy wants us to believe the GM will dedicate resources for decades to both advance what will be and…

A photo they have legal rights to use. 

I’d argue the one that allows murder is quite a bit more stupid than the one that equates to a noise complaint. They can both be stupid, but they don’t have to be equal.

If a temp patch or backfilled ditch starts to collapse, the crew should get called out ASAP and at least add more, pretty common after major storms. If it is an active project, then that fill temp fill collapsing is more like a when and those crews know full well it won’t survive weeks, with how poorly they get back…

Whether or not they were the perfect candidate for the committee doesn’t actually matter to the reason they were remove though. If they got removed for legitimate reasons under a good faith argument, then all of your points are a sound discussion to have on this matter. However, they were only removed as pure retaliati…

To test the waters for what the GOP can get away with and how far they can shift the Overton Window. See also, abortion restrictions, voting restrictions, tax cuts for businesses, judicial nominations, police budgets, school boards... I don’t expect anyone of those TN Rs will see any tangible repercussions for this,…

Was the Barney/Robin thing actually a beloved part? Everyone I’ve known to watch it generally thought it was bad pairing that felt forced based on some story board instead of a good choice. I compared it to Ron & Hermoine in HP getting together because the books required it, but they were an awful couple on screen. 

Much like how we still “hang up” the phone, they will forever be Tuk Tuks

Most major cities I’ve been to have the pedibikes, which is what I figure these would replace. My thought is that the rickshaws would be able to do way more trips to justify the extra cost to the drivers.

Would be pretty awesome to see these in US cities, they were very useful in India. Do any here use them? 

This is the way. 

He actually just recently had a podcast about how oligopolies create choke point capitalism, which in media means that it forces artists to follow trends like this in order for their work to reach a wider audience (guest hosted by someone who is actually well credentialed in the history of monopolies and monopoly…

These systems do a pretty great job at aggregating massive amounts of data and turning it into a data in/data out system. However, at the end of the day, all human bias/flaws that exist in the original data will continue to exist in the AI system. Even worse, when these systems scrape all the data possible, the people…

Comedian/tv host for several years now that mainly uses odd facts as his centerpiece. He got famous with his Adam Ruins show, that would take commonly held misconceptions and then explain why they were wrong in a semi-funny way (like how the McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit is actually an example of corporate incompetence…

When I lived in Seattle they had a mobile van system, but a few people I worked with didn’t like because of how limited they were in the area.

I’m a person who is curious if people know of cities that have done a good job at working ADA requirements into walkable neighborhoods or made sure to plan for it when limiting cars, but not curious enough to research it myself.

How do cities with good public transit and minimal car ownership help handle people with physical disabilities? I assume programs of some sort exist, but I also assume some are just SOL. 

To me, this is another sign that the movie will most likely feel like something a bunch of executives shoved together and punted out for easy money. Just going all in on famous names and a popular IP, despite most of the public recognizing that these famous names seem really off for the IP being made into a movie. I’m…
