Nobody said you have to defend rape threats. Credible threats of violence are illegal. I believe you are ignoring or misunderstanding the argument (and the detailed reply was posted an hour ago). It seems you’re conflating racial slurs (and other deplorable speech) with threats of rape (or other horrific actions) as being equal. They are not.

There is a huge difference between these two:

> Get fucked, bitch.

> I have your address. I’m going to find you and rape you till you’re dead, bitch.

The second statement is absolutely illegal, as it is a credible threat. The first is a disgusting statement from an asshole that shouldn’t have ever been said.

Since 1998, I’ve been aware of a group of so-called christians who like to go to funerals and public events holding signs that say “god hates fags”. No doubt these people might be inclined to tweet, “We should round up all the fags and kill them.” Absolutely, without a doubt, deplorable as fuck. Still protected speech, as uncomfortable and disgusting as it is. These people nauseate me. They make me want to punch their teeth in. If I then reply to one of these assholes with, “Found your address. Coming for you. Better call your dentist.” I’ve wandered into credible threat territory, and illegal speech. I’m wholly unprotected by the First Amendment now.

Defending free speech means defending the constitutional right to say deplorable, yet wholly legal things. And it’s exceedingly difficult. Intellectually, I know it’s protected speech. I can type these words and say it’s legal and protected. I don’t dispute it at all. Emotionally, and as a human who believes in trying to do no harm because the world is chaos and it’s better to be kind, I can’t stand it. I don’t want to see it. I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to read it. I want it gone. I want it to never have been said. I want people to have ways to escape being the targets of such speech. People shouldn’t feel unsafe. They shouldn’t feel attacked for who they are. And yet, we shouldn’t take away anyone’s right to speak their mind, no matter how disgusting.

In all these cases, the principles remain the same:

- there is no end to the vile things humans think and say, yet saying them is a right we’ve granted is, in sum, a net good

- anyone who veers outside mere speech and begins to incite, threaten, or engage in illegal action should be swiftly punished

- where lines get crossed or blurred and clarity is needed, we establish laws to do so (and they should pass constitutional muster)

Musk uses Boring Co. to gain knowledge in building tunnels. They bought an old machine, use it, learn what is working, what needs to be done better, and then probably build their own custom machine to lower cost per km. This knowledge of building tunnels will also come in handy for the other part of his grand plan: Colonizing Mars.
That said, in some ways, there is perhaps even less opportunity to to be a free thinker, with so many people getting deeper into their selected schism on facebook and other selected media outlets.

It's just so easy to get deeper and deeper into an echo chamber of ones own choosing.
There _was_ preliminary evidence for OP’s hypothesis.

I am looking at projects record in my region and seeing around $60m per kilometer for a “simple cars” road tunnel. And this is when the Chinese have done it. Perhaps for an high tech tunnel such as this one, $150m per mile is a modest estimate

Do you mean chains?
There are always exceptions, of course.

My point is the research and teaching are orthogonal skills.

It is certainly possible for someone to be both a good researcher and a good teacher.

I am just saying that I don't care how good of a researcher they are. The only thing I care about is how good of a teacher they are.

So let's judge the teachers based SOLELY on their teaching skills, and not have writing papers have anything at all to do with whether they are hired as a teacher.
Couldn't you just make smaller trains that fit in the same tunnels?

Sure tons of cost for R&D but just because the tunnels are smaller doesn't mean they could only be used for cars in the long term.
Note that it's not just Holden that went under - foreign car companies (Toyota, for example) also have closed their local plants, despite probably very different workplace cultures. It's probably more to do with a small local market, and strong exports of raw materials (and hence a strong currency) making imports more competitive.

Surely there must be people who have extensive knowledge on tunneling already?
While I tend to think this is leaning towards taking it too seriously, I’ll bite.

The ‘booth babe’ problem. A ‘booth babe’ used in a marketting shot is standing beside the car. If a man was used, he’d be driving the car (or at least pretending to).

These shots have the same problem. The “sitting in the car” equivalent would be a desk, with the keypad setup beside their regular keyboard, with someone pretending to actually use it. Yaknow, like a person uses a keyboard. Instead we get the booth babe effect of waving it around like a novelty-sized cheque. These models aren’t driving the car.

I don't buy the parent's arguments, but the $150m figure isn't too far from what Musk has pitched [1]:

> Currently, tunnels are really expensive to dig, with some projects costing as much as $1 billion per mile. In order to make a tunnel network feasible, tunneling costs must be reduced by a factor of more than 10.

So, a factor of 10 is $100m,
but we don't know what "or more" means at this point.

The people that believe in this are the ones that lack vision.

When you have vision, you're supposed to look at the complete system, not just the parts you conveniently like.

You're supposed to understand where the problems are, not just where the benefits are.

People that don't understand systems don't have vision.
It's not running out of 'X' it's 'X+extraction+shipping' vs local production. The USA for instance has all the rare Earth elements it could ask for, they just cost more to dig out than buying from China.

Musk's argument is that basically no one is doing the R&D to apply modern technology to tunneling. Which I don't know about that when it comes to tunneling but I think Musk proved this to be true with electric cars.

Also I'm sure the Boring Company is hiring people with experience in tunneling since that's what every company does. Hires people with experience in the field.
That seems like an interesting solution.

Information is nonsense. In our models perfect information and perfect noise are indistinguishable. Usually this is just hand-waved away, but we all know where you go when you start with an incoherent definition–anywhere your imagination can carry you.

One of the major philosophical errors technically educated but philosophically ignorant intelligent persons make is not being aware of the role of the interpretant. Computing "neural networks" have biological neural networks as a necessary precondition. CS Peirce's understanding of semiotic really should be required reading.

Charitably I'd call the tendency to say we are computers (that is to say, we've built machines in our own image) the pathetic fallacy. Less charitably I'd call it idolatry. The dream of building gods is ancient and persistent.

To answer your question, what's going on in the human mind remains a mystery to all honest inquirers.

Holden was a foreign car company, no different than ford or Toyota.

The only difference is Toyota models are just imported from elsewhere because they have a mostly global product line.

Ford and GM Holden now need to find either European or North American models to import that will suit the local market.
I'm not sure why you thought no one was doing EV research when GM actually produced and sold the EV1 before Tesla?

>I don't have direct experience, but I'd bet Taser doesn't let podunk police departments really "erase" video.

The NYTimes article you posted hints at an uncomfortably cozy relationship between Taser, law enforcement and local governments...

Yet as Taser works to sell cameras and software to more departments,
it is coming under fire for questionable business practices. In some
instances, it has paid police chiefs to travel to Taser conferences.

In other cases, chiefs who have bought Taser products have joined
the company as consultants shortly after leaving public service.
And several cities have awarded contracts to Taser without
competitive bidding.

I wouldn't trust Taser to act as faithful or impartial stewards of this data, when it's in their best business interest to maintain a positive relationship with the very entities whose corruption it exists to expose.

I believed the universe was full of planets before our scientists validated it. My belief was based on the emotions I felt looking into the night sky full of the stars. It’d be a dull life if I could not entertain thoughts and feelings unless they were “scientifically validated”.

Be aware (just in case!) your perception of religion as merely a means of control may be a projection of your own desire to control others, out of your own fear of the unknown beyond what is “scientifically known”, and in doing so have made the religious ones who are “others” who believe in something “shady”, “others” who are less than you.

Not so sure about that. Some subway tunnels are barely wide enough to fit a single train. I don't think a car tunnel can be much smaller, even if you only allow sedans and somehow find another way to send an ambulance in case of emergency.

"more new styles of play" seems to indicate that non-human play.
The Boring Companies FAQ [1] states they want to bring tunneling cost below 100 million/mile. Since they make substantially smaller tunnels than traditional projects, this seems feasible.

Suppose they can do it for $75 million/mile. That gives us tunnelling costs of $250 billion, or about 1 million a day if financed for free over 50 years.

If we assume he wants to move sledded cars instead of passenger vehicles, a ticket price of $120 per transported car seems reasonable to me. That means he needs about 8300 cars/day, or on average 6 per minute. Transporting cars should also cuts down on station costs.

If he wants to transport passengers, at ten per hyperloop vehicle, $60 per person, that's one full vehicle per minute, not that far from some subway lines.

It's doable, but far fetched. I consider his plan to put humans on Mars within 7 years more realistic (but only very slightly so). But in any case people trying is not the worst thing to happen to tech, it's the essence of tech.

My local PD recently sent a guy home for 10 days WITHOUT pay for merely getting mad at his son's football game and throwing a helmet.

It was unbecoming of their professional standards (even off-duty) and he's representing the community. It even made the news (how I heard about it).

So remember, there are plenty of good cops and good forces out there. It's just the shit ones never get held accountable.
I'm guessing that OP is referring to the publicly owned $1trn oil fund that the government has only recently dipped into.

Seconded. I just finished it. PBS only had the first 4-6 episodes "free" on the AppleTV app (and I assume other streaming methods) but I had recorded all 10 on my DVR. I should have paid my local affiliate the $60 to get PBS Passport so I could watch the whole thing uncensored -- so if you want to see it and haven't yet, or don't have an antenna, or whatever, check to see if you can get PBS Passport access with a donation. The Blu-Ray is $130 so this is a much cheaper option.

In some ways the documentary made me feel better about today's America; they survived, so can we. The parallels between the Nixon administration (and, frankly, the pro-war coverup parts of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations) and today's administration are just amazing. On the other hand, it makes me sad to realize how much of today's mindsets are unchanged knee-jerk leftovers from that era. My dad is a Vet, and was actually on a carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin during the incident; fortunately his active duty service was complete shortly thereafter. He later came to realize the war made no sense, but I'm sure that many of the things the anti-war folks said would still hurt to this day. He's also had friends he served with who he's lost friendships with because they can't accept that someone could go from being in the military to being skeptical of these kinds of foreign interventions, and that the government isn't always right.

One thing I found really interesting was how well-received Americans are in Vietnam. Maybe it helps that communism ultimately fell apart so it seemed like we were 'right' all along, and looking out for their best interests-- but of course it wasn't their interests we cared about, and communism would have fallen apart on its own, likely without millions of deaths, if we hadn't gotten involved.

No. The reason is because there are tons of resources out there on this topic. Nothing either of us say is going to be new, so there is no point in having a debate here. If you’re interested you can find the answers.

But it’s a common tactic for trolls to try and get the other person to explain it all so they can try to poke holes or just annoy the other person. To “make you tell me why I’m wrong, mr supposedly good person”.

And I don’t want to get into that.

Interesting, because most police officers don't need to go to school for it to get the job, right?
Yes, as covered every time credit or debit cards are mentioned here.
Yes, and?

Deals can be mutually beneficial -- my point is exactly that allowing them to partially cash out while remaining in control leads to stability and earlier cashing out, both of which help the public.

The suggestion I replied to was bad for everyone, because it forcibly negates a deal that's good for everyone.
Perhaps instead of a censorship arms race, we could stop trying to police speech & thought?

Is it better to push extremists and other weirdos to the echo-chamber fringe, to forums where they only ever encounter those that agree with them, or is it better to allow them into the public forum, where they will clearly find a huge number of people who disagree and argue with them, to show that their views are not so widely agreed with as they might come to dangerously believe in an echo chamber?

The above is assuming we only ever censor those who "should be censored"; imagine if social media were around during the civil rights movement and apartheid, whom would we then have censored, if you care to guess?

I know there are nuances here I haven't covered, but you can see that there is more to this than is seen at first glance.

We need some kind of un-governed mode of digital communication, as with real speech. No group can realistically stop you from shouting what you want to shout in public when you want to shout it, though you can obviously become a pariah or a prisoner shortly after. The same should be true online, free to face the consequences of your own speech, rather than not to speak at all.
Nobody interviewed me, I was just a high school kid, but here's what I remember. A few years before this poster

Many people don't hold strong opinions on most issues --- they just go along with the received opinion out of inertia or peer pressure. Something like this poster can help jog them out of that.
