AFAIK it got bad rep in Europe because they made cars for their domestic marked, got exported to northern Europe and had problems with some coatings and electronics.

But honestly my experience is good. I mean, it's reasonably cheap, aesthetics tend to be ok at least, engines are decent, and overall it feels like they do a decent job for the price. Not to mention that they have some famous commercial vehicles that Fiat Ducato.
Wealth tax is double (infinite?) taxation.
As an American, I feel like prior to the 500, virtually the only Fiat (or Citroen, for that matter) vehicles we ever hear about are the absolute worst of the worst.

That sort of confirmation bias has left me wondering on numerous occasions why Fiat is even in business, let alone why it's been able to acquire so many other badges. I'm just aware enough of this that I don't automatically accept statements like "Fiat have made mostly terrible cars". Is that really true? How could they be the third largest manufacturer if that's all they do?
Ubuntu is probably the way to go on the Pi if you're looking for compatibility. The 32 bit version is ARMv7 instead of ARMv6 with HF packages as Raspbian is. The 64 bit version is ARMv8. It's an official version from Canonical so you don't have to worry about some person abandoning their build or compiling your own packages all the time. With the newer CPU in the Pi 4 it's possible for them to support >4G models in the future but they aren't really interested in targeting $100+ use cases so it'll never make a "great" desktop. Useful as a fanless device that can run standard code though.

If you hack into PCIe you'd lose the USB. It's only a single x1 connection. I suppose you could hack a PCIe switch on top of that but even so it's x1 so it was already oversubscribed just hosting the USB 3 interfaces.

Yes they are terrible people too. But "the way they have treated women"? ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS? The women who participated in these extra-marital affairs are every bit as evil!
It's not irrelevant, it's a blatant abuse of power.

This guy is clearly a pretty sick sort of predator.

> How dare a married, billionaire cheater not settle down with her but continue to sleep with other women?

He basically got her fired and then bailed on her and their son. He refused to pay child support despite being a millionaire and is basically in an abusive relationship with her still.

It's disgusting. It's the sort of behaviour that should ruin your personal and professional life completely.
This is answered in part in the final q; so that the inquiry could have independence from MIT’s general counsel:

> When Epstein’s donations to MIT were revealed, MIT’s general counsel retained Goodwin Procter, a law firm that has worked with the Institute in the past and that has extensive experience conducting internal investigations at academic institutions. That background allowed the firm to get up to speed quickly as it began its review. Soon thereafter, the Executive Committee engaged the law firm Paul Weiss, which also has extensive experience leading internal investigations and advising boards of directors but no prior relationship with MIT. From a governance perspective, the Executive Committee felt Paul Weiss’s independence from the Institute was valuable.

From the report

http://factfindingjan2020.mit.edu/files/MIT-report.pdf

Professor Lloyd's dealings look very, very shady:

> Professor Lloyd remained friends with Epstein after his conviction in 2008.
He visited Epstein at his office in Florida during the period of Epstein’s criminal sentence.
Professor Lloyd also visited Epstein’s private island, though for only a few hours for lunch, and
he has acknowledged Epstein in his academic publications. While Professor Lloyd clearly
valued Epstein as a source of potential funding, he also told us he believed that, by continuing to
engage with Epstein post-conviction, he could be part of Epstein’s rehabilitation.
Professor Lloyd told us that, in 2005 or 2006 (before Epstein’s conviction), Epstein gave
him a personal $60,000 gift to support his MIT research that Professor Lloyd did not submit
through MIT. In possible violation of MIT policies and certainly in violation of MIT norms,
Professor Lloyd deposited the gift into a personal bank account and did not report it to MIT.

> Eventually, in July 2016, Professor Lloyd affirmatively contacted Epstein by email to ask for
funding to support his upcoming sabbatical. On June 1, 2017, Epstein emailed his accountant
and Professor Lloyd: “send 125 k to mit for seth lloyd from gratitude.”

Bogota alone has ~50'000 registered taxis. That's one per 160 people living here. Still during rush hour it is quite hard to get one without waiting tens of minutes. Doesn't seem to me like something the majority is completely afraid of using.

There are plenty people worried about hailing a taxi from the street especially at night. Instead they use one of the multiple available apps that track driver, registration number and route to order one.

Almost all the people I know that exclusively use Uber are upper class and or expats.

Early to late twenties for me. I struggled through AA but I found it to be too defeatist. I couldn’t get clean framing the problem the way that they do.

The turning point for me was a joke by a stand up comedian that kind of glorified being a drunk. Doug Stanhope had a line similar to “addiction is just a thing you like doing more than living your life”. I chose to live my life. I got hobbies, took classes, worked a lot and I got through the first few months by staying busy. Over time I balanced out my life schedule (also finding out I have workaholic tendencies).

Everyone’s path is different. I can’t believe mine has worked for 6 years. AA isn’t for everyone, but it works for many. It should be the default first option for people wanting out.
Oh gross. Why can't powerful men behave themselves? Makes me grateful I'm not a powerful man.

> Ultimately the regulation achieves its goal, reducing CO2.

Does it though?

Instead of Fiat reducing their product's CO2 emissions, isn't it actually the case that they've just done some fancy accounting and now say their emissions are lower because the paperwork now says Tesla is part of their fleet?

Tesla were going to make those cars anyway, so really Tesla gain the free money from Fiat, and Fiat keeps making polluting cars, and we all get to suffer the consequences of no actual reduction of CO2 because ultimately nothing has changed apart from some paperwork that follows the letter of the law rather than the spirit?

Doesn't seem that great to me.

To protect the president, of course.

Desktop and workstations will be the last place to find non-x86 chips. Power use doesn’t matter, and critical consumer applications and raw performance are a must.

Basements in the US are really nice. As other have said, they are typically really big (usually the entire foot print of the house above), isolated and sometimes have their own entrances.

My parents moved my sister into the basement when she grew up because it was basically an apartment. It was a lot bigger than her bedroom, and offered her the chance to accumulate some furniture and stuff that she would need when she moved out.
I started by growing vegetables. Money pit. Then I started growing lavender and aromatics for essential oil distillation. It’s for cosmetic purposes and perfumery. Much higher margin.

That is beautiful. I think Judea Pearl has been a little too successful in getting people to question causality without being successful at getting people to think about causal reasoning.

How we positioned ourselves in the wake of WW2, and the resulting mythology that grew up around it, coupled with the fact that enough time passed that we now believe the myth as fact.

"Basement" is not usually bad in these cases. The image that comes to mind is a finished basement with a separate (or at least semi-private entrance).

I think "basement" has become synonymous with these cases because:
1. It reflects that the person is at least semi-independent (as opposed to children who live within the same space as the parents)
2. It is a bit insulting, reflecting society's view of the situation (it subtly implies antisocial behavior... The basement gamer, for example)

During manager training done by any lawyer worth their salt, it is drilled into you two hundred times that if you start a relationship with a subordinate, you have to declare this relationship to HR, you have to move jobs, and that you may be personally liable for any of the legal fallout that comes with workplace relationships/allegations of harassment/allegations of nepotism.

there is no motivation to keep data secret. What we need, is some serious liability for heads of agencies or companies that lose or sell it.

Also, smartphones with multiple cameras are, in a way, unrealistic. There's quite some lack of realism in today's cameras, akin to autotune.

> same standards as networks and not show ads that are provably false

I was going to ask you for a reference on this, because I was pretty sure that no such standard existed.

I was quite wrong!

https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/complaints-about-broadc...

"Broadcasters are responsible for selecting the broadcast material that airs on their stations, including advertisements. The FCC expects broadcasters to be responsible to the community they serve and act with reasonable care to ensure that advertisements aired on their stations are not false or misleading.

The FTC has primary responsibility for determining whether specific advertising is false or misleading, and for taking action against the sponsors of such material. You can file a complaint with the FTC online or call toll-free 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357)."

So we have:

"The FCC expects broadcasters to be responsible to the community they serve and act with reasonable care"

and

"The FTC has primary responsibility for determining"

So...maybe we should give online advertising the same treatment?

As an aside: this FCC regulation surprises me; I'm quite aware that there are numerous limits to free speech, but I didn't expect this to be one of them.

I've always been an ardent believer in expansive free speech, and I still am, though age has allowed me to accept more limits. Though it doesn't feel right to me, the negative impact of (largely?) unregulated online political advertising is big and getting bigger.
Hm OK I didn't know, I was under the impression I tried it later than that, though.
