That’s the end result of car centric infrastructure. The bad drivers couldn’t afford to pay the full rates they would be charged. If you kick 10-20% of the population off the road, that is a whole lot of people siddenly unable to work

That many people suddenly stopping working would destroy the only thing Americans truly value - shareholder profits

We have no alternatives to driving. As such the worst drivers you’ve ever seen will continue to drive by necessity

Why is that an important detail? Does itbmakeba functional difference to me as a user? OpenAI collected the data and failed to secure it. Doesn’t matter if a 3rd party was involved

To be fair, America has the best aviation infrastructure in the world, and it is almost entirely socialized. So we do socialism sometimes

To be fair, you don’t have to be rich to buy a Cessna 150. $35,000 can get you a nice old one

Issue is with taking advantage of the tax benefits

It was a quote from the article. Your complaint is with Boomerang, not the guy quoting them

The cost ranges from $30,000 to over $100M

Cars aren’t nearly as expensive in the rest of the world, and many countries are including those safety features and more

The US domestic auto market is propped up by protectionist economic policies. Fairly universal than when a market doesn’t have to compete, their prices go up

Nearly every human on earth would be in that category. The whole basis of human knowledge is that we take the knowledge of others and build upon it

The dash you used is neither an en dash nor an em dash. It’s a regular dash, which is much more commonly used since it’s on a standard keyboard

Vigilante justice is NEVER acceptable. Until someone has been justly tried, and convicted they innocent in the eyes of the law. Period, and no exception.

Devil’s advocate: Judicial systems throughout history have had varying levels of success. If a person repeatedly commits murder and is not held to account by the justice system, is it not acceptable for someone to kill them? The net result would be lives saved

There have been many instances throughout history where a person repeatedly commits unspeakable crimes, but is guaranteed immunity from whatever justice system exists in their society. Do you think it’s entirely unacceptable for them to receive vigilante justice?

Millions of North Koreans suffer and die under the Kim regime. If a vigilante were to assassinate him, millions of lives would be saved. Do you still contend it is unacceptable to do so? Keep in mind, everything Kim Jong Un has done is perfectly legal under the North Korean judicial system

If you question that interpretation of the result, let’s invoke Godwin’s Law. If one of the early assassination attempts on Hitler had been successful, WW2 could have been avoided (or at least made far more one-sided), saving tens of millions of lives. Would vigilante justice have still been unacceptable to you?

Seems incredibly amoral to state it’s preferable to allow a genocide than to extra-judicially murder the one perpetuating the genocide

I had a couple classes in college where the grade was 8% homework, 42% midterm, and 42% final exam. Feels a bit more balanced

I think we should also be adjusting the criteria we use for grading. Information accuracy should be weighted far more heavily, and spelling/grammar being de-prioritized. AI can correct bad spelling and grammar, but it’s terrible for information accuracy

Are they getting people onto Linux, or are they absorbing people that would be switching anyway and taking advantage of those users by charging them for something they may not need? Hard to say which it is

I did a CTF once where one of the challenges was forensics on a video file. It had the header ripped off, the entension removed, and was split into chunks that had to be ripped out of a pcap and reassmebled

VLC just played the mangled chunks as-is. It was an unintended cheat code for the challenge

When I did those tests, checking your ears was a required step. Plenty of other subtle ways to communicate though

Easy enough to put notes or a phone on the backside of your monitor. Pearson doesn’t check there during their room scans

Source: Took dozens of exams through them

The problem, to me, is that not everyone on a boat is catching fish. There are plenty of different roles. It’s just that people outside the industry don’t have a concept of the nuanced differences between roles, so it gets simplified to “I catch fish” even if they aren’t involved in catching fish at all. Most people outside of tech have no idea between the different roles that exist in tech either. It wasn’t too long ago where no matter your role in tech, you’d tell laymen, “I work in IT” as a catchall for any technical role

If that were the case I’d have spent thousands on Linux by now T.T

Many electricians, carpenters, and steel plant workers are currently working to build AI data centers. Funding other projects has been postponed or cancelled as the AI data centers are able to pay more

Electricians especially. Trump cancelled many clean energy projects, which created large swaths of electricians without work if it weren’t for AI data centers

He’s not vying for customers. He’s sucking up to Trump in the hopes of getting preferential treatment for his company

We’ve seen over and over again, companies that praise him, or bribe him, are getting business advantages from the Trump administration

Technically correct, but media never uses it that way. People generally do not differentiate the two

The fact she is making this distinction, which she has never made before for anyone, tells me she’s priming her audience to be okay with rich and powerful men raping underage women
