While I certainly agree capitalism's excesses have led to the planets ruination, I would disagree that it's due to following "the american dream". (I always hated that phrase actually, it's much mor eimportant to face "reality" than to "dream")

Elon and Bozo being worth multi-multi-billions has nothing to do with the pursuits of millions of people.

The crime I would put on the millions is being intentionally oblivious to it all.

For example, thinking that people communicating on a proprietary corporate s/w platform constitutes a "community", or a "friend". This especially includes the gun porn "community" who think rolling around on the ground in their cammys is their version of "the dream".

An extreem example of that would be:

> I've often wondered if Tesla is gaming the figures by only deploying the airbags in really bad crashes, whereas other manufacturers might deploy the airbags for pretty minor bumps.

So even as a Tesla "hater", but as a paramedic, first generation airbags were very simplistic. Essentially, "if speed > x mph and collision = true then deploy".

Nowadays, advanced airbag systems do calculations based on speed, G forces, angle of intrusion, lateral movement, etc., and decide "will the airbag system cause or risk more injury?", i.e. "can the passenger restraint system (i.e. seatbelts) do sufficient work to minimize injury".

So you can get relatively low speed collision with heavy lateral movement causing a deployment, but some other deployments at 30mph not deploying airbags.

All that being said, I do not believe Tesla (or any other manufacturer) so describe accidents only in terms of airbag deployment. Other factors like speed, G force felt, did seatbelt pretensioners activate, should all be sufficient to categorize as an accident.

> ...there have been multiple opportunities for long-term peace and Palestinian statehood that were either rejected or violated in short order by the Palestinians and/or their allies.

Palestine is occupied and has been losing more and more land to Israel for decades. Any peace deal that Israel offers that does not establish Palestinian borders as they were in 1967 is a slap in the face for any and every Palestinian who had their homes, livelihood, and history colonized by Israeli settlers. Israel needs to allow Palestine to operate as an independent nation in control of their own borders, energy, trade, etc.

The Palestinians refuse to be served dog food to then be told by their oppressors to appreciate it or they won't be getting any more.

There's a difference from starting the project by using OpenVoice vs hiring an actor for 90% of the work but then cloning their voice because you can' be bothered to reschedule the same actor for creative changes.

But if you start that project by making a voice sound like Morgan Freeman because you can't afford Morgan Freeman but you feel entitled then you can go pound sand. So your choice of making a generated voice should be of a voice that someone else isn't already using.

I think I agree with you, but democratizing distribution is still orthogonal to the piracy problem. On the one hand, I'm more likely to pay an artist if the only official way I can get their art is to purchase from their website. On the other hand, the first digital download from an artist's website may go right to a torrenter, or youtube. Is self-distribution accompanied by the task of chasing youtube takedowns? Sounds not fun.

A pre-release payment directly addresses the issue of piracy. Piracy just doesn't exist if the content isn't out there.

> It’s impossible to break laws that are impractical and unenforceable?

Huh? When did I ever say it was "impossible to break laws"? My entire point was it very possible to break laws, which is why those laws exist.

The government could pass a law banning encryption tomorrow and there would be nothing besides fear of the law stopping you from continuing to use it, if you so chose to so do (just like the law against battery doesn't mean there's a physical barrier making it impossible for you punch the guy standing next you on the subway). The actual and indented effect of the law would be the technology would be driven underground, and your choice to use it illegally would carry far greater risks to you.

Also, a law against using encryption wouldn't be unenforceable. At the very least they could punish you with a sentencing enhancement or use it as an alternative charge if it successfully cloaked whatever else you were doing (e.g. like how they got Al Capone for tax evasion, not any of the other stuff he did). And anyway, computers make surveillance and enforcement easier, not harder.

> The IIHS has repeatedly shown that Tesla airbags are the best in class.

No they haven't. For a start, IIHS doesn't rank "airbags".

And then... Tesla fans love to latch on to this as a trope.

The IIHS -groups- vehicles into safety levels by class. It doesn't rank in class, at all.

So what, you might say, they're still in the top or top two safety levels, they deserve credit... Except:

There are twenty one other vehicle at that same level or higher in the same segment ("mid-size luxury"), and sixteen if you only count the top segment.

Of those, Tesla could be number 1, or number 16. You don't know. So this whole meme of "Tesla is the safest" needs to die, it's just bluster.

I see some of those things could perhaps be solved by implementing parts of the game in a sandbox. I know that's work: I'm doing it myself. But all the work with the host-guest boundary (let's not call it bindings, please), is worth it in the end.

I have a C++ game client, a C++ game server, and a shared C++ game script that is transferred to all clients, running in a RISC-V emulator. That means the script will fundamentally execute the same way on all clients, and the server. I have no idea what everyone else is doing. This is what I'm doing now, and the more fleshed out it's becoming, the more I actually like it this way. I don't think I could easily "go back" to other solutions.

Of course it is. Investors have to pony up for 100% of the restaurants, so society as a whole has to pay one way or another for each economic experiment

EDIT

I should clarify - since investors know they have to pay for 100% of restaurants, of which 90% will fail, they price this in when they decide to invest in a restaurant.

Drug companies have to pay for all ten trials, not just the one that works out.

Restaurants are a bad example because people invest in it on an emotional basis. Drug trials are probably decided on more the same basis as bond issues or insurance.

If the risk of failure is high, investors have to demand a high premium or go broke.

Interesting how the narrative is that social media can only be a thing if it's controlled by an entity that the US government can effectively bully into violating our privacy domestically. This doesn't strike you as a plain old case of common xenophobia, does it? Citizens in the US will mock other countries for censoring the internet, but this doesn't strike me as all that different from that.

This makes sense to me. Although DJI is not a propaganda tool like TikTok, it is still a national security threat. Who knows what they could be doing - like capturing surveillance footage and biometrics (facial recognition) or high resolution maps from across the country and handing it to the CCP. There is no need for the US to trade at all with China given they are an authoritarian government undermining US interests. We should be seeking a fast path to divestment and disrupt their foreign policy goals in places like Africa.

This was the question. A huge chunk of a lot of people's insurance isn't the insurance to fix your car, it is to fix the other guy's car. If the average cost to fix the other guy's car keeps going up, your insurance will end up going up given a fixed risk level.

Amazon reviews for that scooter are rather negative: https://www.amazon.com/Segway-Air-T15-Lightweight-Step-Contr...

I've found that for a decent lightweight commuter scooter with a suspension to make it somewhat comfortable to ride, getting closer to $1000 is a more reasonable budget. The model in the blog post is more of a kids toy.
what do you mean by "makes it very hard to do physics"?
I wonder if it would help to remember that etymologically "eleven" comes from "one left" (as in, I counted the first ten and there was still one more) and "twelve" comes from "two left".

As for the others, I think remembering these in several different ways is stickiest. For example, you might think of 7·7 = (5 + 2)² = 25 + 2·10 + 4 or perhaps 7·7 = (6 + 1)² = 36 + 2·6 + 1 or 7·7 = 7·(10 − 3) = 70 − 21. If you already know 7·7, then 6·8 = (7 − 1)(7 + 1) = 49 − 1. You can try computing 7·8 by repeatedly doubling: 7, 14, 28, 56. Etc.
Also wanna point out: as you get richer, the social expectations for how you raise your kids get higher in terms of $$$, too. Go upper class and suddenly you need to get your kids into fancy private schools, you need to send them to get horse riding lessons, you need to go on nice vacations overseas, etc.

Obviously these are not true needs, but if people feel like they're needs, they can still become factors in how many kids you have.

BCC is going to look pretty obvious phishing.

You are correct that the only way to catch the person is unique information sent to each one - the best way to do this is to register a domain for a website that looks like something close to an official school website. For example, if you are "school.com", you can try something like fileshare-school.com. The backend for the website then automatically sends out unique information based on a fingerprint of a user, including IP address. Ive used AWD Lambda+API Gateway for this cause its free and you get the full http request when you do http passthrough.
Then you send the link through an email to everyone and see if the person takes the bait.

Its less precise, but it could get your pool narrower. Bonus points if you fake a login page that looks like the schools one, as it will get you the exact person.
