Sarcasm in discussion is never warranted here.

I appreciate you explaining your particular position on what needs to change so I don't have to assume so. I disagree this approach is a silver bullet and we should ignore other technologies though I definitely agree some of those changes to the process could help overall. Japan, as you mention, has possibly the strictest drivers license requirement programs in the world but still ranks 29th in deaths per vehicle mile. The US has far from the worst driver testing and regulation but is still 4th on the same list. There are, of course, a lot of other factors and variables than just the drivers test and miles driven conflating that data but if it were really the be all end all to road safety there shouldn't be so much to still improve in Japan's case and the US shouldn't be quite so top of the list. Other country's numbers are often definitely better than the US, and I never implied it wasn't or couldn't be I just didn't want to assume which reasons you were intending to push about it, but there have to be other factors going on beyond drivers license regulation differences to explain improvements and, presumably, other new things we could do like GP was discussing.

I do agree some changes you mention (like standardization) could be useful but I'm not really sure some others (like testing with a manual transmission) are helpful or relevant to road deaths. Harder does not necessarily equate to safer or vice versa. You mention Arkansas being different than northeastern states and I'll add that even a test in upstate New York vs downstate New York will be very different. Definitely a good case for standardizing what's tested how strictly more. I'd also like to see standardization across states on things like when licenses are revoked akin to the issue the sibling comment mentions around at fault deaths. In all I think this class of solutions is just one improvement of many that need to be done to solve the problem.

I know Hungarian doesn't normally have any Indo-European roots, but it can of course borrow words from neighboring languages, so I would have wondered whether váltás could have be borrowed from a Romance language, from the same root as volte/volta (from Latin volvo), meaning 'turn' (particularly given the possible cultural influence of German Wende, which we were just discussing).

I checked on Wiktionary and this nice theory is not right; váltás has been traced back to Proto-Finno-Ugric roots and has known cognates in other distant Uralic languages. Oh well! At least we live in a miraculous time where one can easily check etymologies in various language families in five seconds. :-)

But amusingly, "revolution" itself also literally etymologically means ... turn!

The progressive capital gains taxes also need to go up to 100%.

>Corporations have more money than any individual, but the largest ones are publicly traded, so that would still be the case even if no individual shareholder had a lot of wealth. Because the corporation would, and its executives would thereby be in control of those resources and use them to capture the government.

That is why we have monopoly laws. The point isn't that corporations should not accumulate wealth, the point is that the state should not have a rival in terms of power.

>Why is it that the largest corporations and most corrupt organizations are the ones asking for regulations?

Sure, they want regulations that build a moat, they don't want regulations that reduce their wealth. I'm talking about the latter.

>What you need is to constrain the legislators from passing those laws to begin with, regardless of whether they start off at the behest of a billionaire or a trade organization or just the Senator's brother-in-law.

Yes, and campaign finance reform would reduce some of this donor/lobby culture. Fixed amount of ad-spend per candidate, no PACs, etc.

Yeah, we Brits are very proud of him, a real one of a kind national treasure. But we're also now painfully aware that Sir David is quite, quite old. Born in 1926 apparently. And there really isn't an obvious candidate to fill the gap once he does go.

Not that I think porn use is necessarily linked to these things, but rates of people who never marry are on a steep rise, people report dating as being subjectively more difficult, and the WHO considers the loneliness epidemic to be a global health concern. It seems like there's an obvious normalcy bias at play when someone says "X thing can't be bad or we would've noticed during the last n decades".

Same deal when people say plastics can't be that bad of a pollutant because people are fine. Have you looked at people? Half the US is obese.

Plastics and porn or food and sedentary lifestyles and social media might all not be the problem, but "look, things are fine" seems like bad reasoning either way. People are very obviously mentally and physically unwell, the trends there are bad, and the reasons aren't well understood.
I don’t think it is. The price increases due to additional cash would not be addressed by restructuring corporate profits. Unless you want to do away with corporations all together and go full communist.

If people have more money, they will spend it. Since things are fixed, then prices will go up. That’s what happens when you increase money. You get inflation. You didn’t address how to stop that.

I don't like defending Google here but the status quo is also heavily favorable to users. For a good number of years users were begging Google to put their heel to the throats of OEMs who dropped support for their devices after only a few years, couldn't get the latest version of Android, couldn't run new versions of apps, and had to deal with the garbage OS customizations and apps OEMs shipped.

People wanted a PC like experience where it doesn't matter what hardware you bought you ran the same Google provided software. And we're still not there yet. The marketing for the original Nexus devices was "Android with the Google stuff you wanted and not the OEM shovelware." I think it's a very reasonable stance that folks buying Android are doing so because they want and expect the Google stuff and this was just the stick Google had to get there.

Startup founders often decide their own salaries. With a limited capital, it makes sense to invest it into hiring the best talent and doing the best marketing, paying yourself a minimum viable amount to survive. If the startup works out, there is a big payout in the end. Paying yourself less, you increase the likelihood of everything working out.

Also, as an intangible benefit, having less cushy life puts you in a more aggressive mindset which is important.

> The type of visually dense user interface is still around where it’s unavoidable due to the complexity of the data model

No, it's not about the data model, that's a completely orthogonal matter. You could add more whitespace to e.g. Darktable, and put functionality which doesn't fit anymore into e.g. menus.

It's about the software being used for focused work. People invest some time learning it, but then expect that the work will be fast and efficient. More whitespace will mean you have to do more clicks to do the same thing in comparison to a more dense UI which costs time.

> and more usable to have simpler / sparser user interfaces for less tech savvy people.

I'd say it's often the opposite. More visible data presents more context, more opportunity to lead the user and visually explain what's going on. You need to invest more into arranging such screens correctly, but when designed well, their UX will be superior to low-context low-information space-filled screens.

A popup makes you type the repository name before confirming deletion.

Or they could modify your app without your knowledge or consent before someone downloads it, while claiming to be the stock configuration. Pre populating app stores sounds great for Epic, but there’s a lot of issues.

Instead I would rather let 3rd parties provide different UI for Google’s App Store backend for a small cut of any transaction. Minor improvements like being able to permanently block any idle games, IAP, advertisements, etc would go a long way. But frankly Epic doesn’t give a shit about users here.
What’s the context here? The US’s increasingly adversarial relationship with China?
But... It is being diversified. Europe, the US, Japan et al. are all scrambling to give subsidies and tax breaks to the means of TSMC, Samsung, and Intel for more local factories.

The thing is, chip fabrication is hard. Really hard. Among the hardest thing human beings have ever achieved and only getting harder on the leading edge nodes. There are very few people with the expertise, very few suppliers of the tools, huge costs, and huge risk if something doesn't go well. Intel made some wrong technical bets on their 10nm node and they are still catching up years later.

But that's at the leading edge. The real meat and potatoes chips that aren't being used for high performance computing or slightly slimmer iPhones are made all over the place by lots of different companies.
With browsers, it used to be irrelevant what the standard stated. But the standards these days are actually useful, and where implementations differ from the standards, one or the other is changed.

Please explain how advocating for useful allocation of resources within a reference topic, without ever leaving said topic, constitutes "whataboutism".

I want space exploration to happen. Right now, the most efficient, most promising, and most fruitful way, including in terms of developing future technology that can one day benefit human spaceflight, is to send robots.

Trying to send people to do a robots work in space exploration right now, is a waste of resources that will, long term, hinder our efforts of becoming a spacefaring species. It doesn't make sense for a tribe that just recently invented small canoues to try and send them across the ocean. It is possible to do so in theory, aka. "it could happen", that doesn't make it a good idea. And every tribe member who drowns during these efforts, is one person less who could father the future inventor of the Galleon.

Pointing out this reality isn't "whataboutism".

The point I'm trying to make is that you can't just "remove" an essential part of what makes a language. Rich Hickey took a year-long sabbatical (or was it two or even three years?
