I feel just the same, with the proviso that I want a mechanical backup for catastrophic software bugs - a fully mechanical drive disengagement, aka shift to neutral. And the emergency, aka parking, brake should have no software mediation either, beyond sensors that signal software to "do the right thing" (park or neutral) with the drive.

I wonder if recognition of weeds could be made easier by using genetically engineered crop plants with a fluorescent protein. Shine some UV on them and they're a crop plant if the fluorescence comes back at the right wavelength.

Also, can less space be taken up by rows if the farm vehicle is legged? One would just need spots for the feet to land on.

According to a random internet search, the average "semi truck" age is 11 years.

No they don't, full stop. You don't own Twitter, you don't own YouTube, you don't own any of these platforms. Flat Earthers can say whatever the hell they want, but they don't have the "right" to force YouTube to carry their speech.

How do you know what your communication style is and how do you know you're actually making changes to your style? Do you record some of your conversations and study them later?

I ask this because, based on empirical evidence have a communication style that turns people off. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've thought about recording conversations. Video would be far better because undoubtedly there are body language issues too.
I predict we'll end up with AWD vehicles with two motors. The front wheels will have a motor tuned for the low end, the rear wheels a motor that is tuned for higher speeds, and the controllers will adjust how much power goes front or rear depending on the need for torque, traction and mph.

Right now AWD EVs seem to get slightly lower range, and I would expect that to eventually to even out or reverse, even with the weight of extra equipment.
People who are old now had a very different environment when they were younger, than people of child-bearing age now. My early-boomer dad only had a high school diploma and grew up rural and dirt-poor. He retired early, very well, despite our family having only his income, supporting me, my mother, and making mis-steps like puttering around with low-return small businesses for his entire 20s such that he didn't start saving until his 30s, and a divorce that (rightly) siphoned off plenty of child support for several other kids. He was a blue-collar worker who eventually got into middle management for a while. One employer for life, after his puttering-around owning low-income sole-proprietorships phase.

The key was much, much lower costs for things like housing and healthcare, and a really solid union retirement package better than what even most union jobs offer these days.

Notably, money tied up in mandatory retirement schemes isn't available for use in zero-sum competition for things like housing. You might spend responsibly, but when others "defect" and sacrifice what should be retirement savings for advantage today, suddenly the housing you can afford is a bit worse than it was before (worse school district, in particular), and you're even more tempted to do the same. Repeat across an entire society and pretty soon savings rates are catastrophically low—check some savings-at-same-age charts for various generations to see this in action, the differences are huge (though that's not the only factor causing it).

ONLY guilty of defrauding investors - not guilty of defrauding patients.

"Holmes was acquitted on three charges relating to patients who received inaccurate test results but found guilty on four charges, including one count of conspiracy to defraud investors and three counts of wire fraud against investors."

Which makes me wonder - if your product is not defrauding customers, then how is it that you are defrauding investors ...
When people use moral identifiers, like 'altruist' or 'philanthropist' , etc. they are trying to shortcut past the normal societal repetitional mechanisms to be viewed as a moral person.

The people who want to take these shortcuts tend to be the least moral people. Same force that leads the immoral to be more likely loudly publicly identify with a religion.

EA may be an interesting perspective, but I'm immediately wary of anyone who self-identifies as an "effective altruist".
That's true, except the people pushing to "deplatform" someone are usually trying to get them banned everywhere.

> people like to complain that the federal government only funds a fixed number of residency slots, as if a trillion dollar industry is just absolutely helpless to do anything

Agreed, but I would go further and say that if demand by students for the training provided by residency exceeds the demand by hospitals for the work provided by residents, I don't see why residents couldn't pay for their training just as they do for medical school. The whole "residency funding" thing seems like a red herring as an explanation.

To be clear, I'm not saying that medical graduates should have to take on more debt to pay for residency, but rather that the reason this doesn't happen is not obvious according to typical economic reasoning.
>The new thing is that we’re too smart and cool for all the things religion teaches, while we scratch our heads trying to solve all the problems it gives you the solution for.

First of all, that isn't new. The Renaissance, when philosophy, science and law began to divorce themselves from religion, started about 700 years ago.

Second, nothing useful taught by religion actually requires religion itself. You don't need to believe in salvation through faith, or the Holy Trinity, or Hell and brimstone for the teachings of Jesus to be useful. That isn't religion, that's philosophy.

> "red meat is bad", "red meat is not bad"

Part of your frustration is that you're asking the wrong question. "Is it good or bad?" That is the too simple of a question.

Let me use an example we can all understand on Hacker New: Is React good or bad? Should I start using React? We all know, it depends. Asking whether something is good or bad is not helpful.

The human body is more complicated than even the worst software project. And we're dealing with millions of bodies, all different, not just one. What is healthy for one person will kill another person (allergies, etc). Going back to React, we seem to want the answer to be either "everyone should use React", or "nobody should use React"; we want a clear answer that applies to everyone, but that's impossible.

I found this YouTube video almost exactly answers your question, context and all: https://youtu.be/mQ56uOkjccg

Hey Kyle!
There's a couple things

google doesn't like shipping GPL software to end users, and anyway, they had a lot of opinionated changes to make and plumb through, wakelocks and other things. No glibc, mininal other GPL stuff, it's not GNU/Linux, it's just Linux.

Display hardware for mobile SoCs often had no or poor x11 drivers during the early days of Android. x11 drivers are not easy to write, it's easier to do something else that has more specific requirements. Nowadays, I think you could probably do pretty well with glamor, but that wasn't a given back then. Limited capability mobile devices really don't need to run a distributed systems protocol that outputs to screens as a side effect, regardless of how cool distributed systems are.

Desktop apps running on a phone is not a good experience, and is unlikely to ever be a good experience. Applications need to be rebuilt for the context and if you're going to do that, x11 doesn't buy you much.

I'm not saying Android UI did a good job, but it made sense to start clean even if the results were poor.

I seem to recall this also goes together with a lot of elderly abuse.

Great news, I have been waiting quite some time for this! I am using VMware Fusion a lot on my Intel based Macs (most of my day-to-day work is on Linux in a VM) and just have been waiting for VMWare on ARM Macs.

While I also have used Parallels, I just find VMware the solution which works best with me. One of the features of course was to be able to run modern Linux kernels without the needs of installing custom drivers as the necessary drivers where part of the Linux kernel. Parallels requires drivers which often where quite a bit behind the Fedora releases.

Yes! My experience is state/county, but you can actually ask the court to give you more time before surrendering to commence your sentence. In my case, I was by default given 2 months before I had to surrender. From what I remember/know, courts are generally pretty respectful if you ask for more time (depending on reasoning/circumstances). If you've shown up all the way to sentencing, you're likely not a huge flight risk.
