If we’re going to hold fiction responsible for misrepresenting things we’ve got a lot of work to do.

Huh, it’s weird. But we beta test automotive controls systems on public roads every day. Really temperamental ones without any actual skill or programming. And they often make mistakes that lead to the deaths of vehicle occupants, bystanders, and pedestrians. We just call it “driver’s education” and the automotive…

100% agree. But they get away with it because the driver must keep his/her hands on the wheel at ALL times and must be paying attention 100% of the time. Now, the reality is that doesn’t happen... Hell, why would you do those things if your car has ‘auto pilot?’

I still don’t get how beta testing vehicle technology with the general public is ethical or even legal. I realize this is the usual way software is beta tested, but this is 2+ ton rolling machine. There is a serious public safety issue here.

He also had 12 other BMWs stored in the parking lot of the company he worked for.

>So f- these self-important Old White Men with their heads in the ground, their fannies in the sky.

Bond villains around the world are like:

This is..gorgeous. Too bad people don’t take trains that much here in the US anymore of this could work here.

This article just proves the problem with society. You write the half truth and uneducated people take it as the full truth. I paid capital gains tax on my investments so that must mean that I am paying a“ lower rate on that than you are, even though you fucking work for your money.” The problem with this is that I…

Actually in most places crying babies and texters can be removed from the theater if a complaint is made. Many theaters also have a zero tolerance policy towards talking during a movie, and after one warning the guest is removed without refund.

I’m so sorry to hear about your experiences with your family. One bright spot in this dark world: when I was in 4th grade our teacher announced a new student would be joining our school after winter break. She was disabled and non-verbal, meaning she could only sign. All 3 sections of 4th graders in our tiny bo-dunk…

The author decided to leave out information to raise outrage.

Do people not complain that they did not pay $1000 or whatever rediculous amount for Hamilton tickets to be distracted by a signer and lose the immersion? I understand special screenings and personal devices, but on what’s supposed to be a fully immersive experience for the patrons does it not have the same effect as…

...pass traveler...

Lots of tweets, but pictures would say much more. If their leggings were shear enough to effectively be pantyhose/underwear as opposed to proper clothing, I would side with United. It’s unreasonable to assume that just because one of the passengers was young that her parents had her dressed properly. We really…

When you say something is okay to demonize, you begin being part of the same melting pot of disgusting people. EDUCATE them do NOT demonize. Educate him with FACTS but treating him like he is cancer just makes you the same despicable piece of rotten garbage that you think he is. It’s the same as the irony of all the…

Well, what do you mean by it “being against the law?” If the law protects intellectual property, and in order to repair a console you need proprietary IP, then it would be illegal to repair the console independently if the IP rightsholder doesn’t want you to. I don’t believe there’s a law straight-up forbidding…

After traveling a lot, I rather take the train everywhere I go now. It has to be more than 1 day of travel or with an ocean in-between my final destination for me to take a plane now.

Yeah but when I see quarterly and annual earnings reports from airlines, it becomes clear that they have very slim profit margins and the market is hypercompetitive.

Remember when gas/oil prices went up really high and flight prices skyrocketed because of it? And they crammed more seats on planes and charged us heavy fees for bags? Then fuel/oil prices dropped drastically and the flight prices never went down and fees never went away? Fuck everything about the airlines.
