I don’t think the multibillion price tag is about the physical battery itself.

It’s probably the cost of the entire project. Which includes:

• Project management
• Engineering
• Digging the whole
• Security
• Maintainance
• Environmental impact analysis (among many other analysis)
• Reducing the environmental impact
• Permits (and a LOT of bureaucracy)

The list goes on. Notice how I didn’t even mention the battery itself.

If there were no billionaires, a corrupt person could still have power inside a government. Making it a corrupt government.

Then he could benefit from that corruption and become a billionaire.

It’s not a one way relationship.

Corrupt entities make powerful people. And powerful people (sometimes) do make the entities corrupt.

And this is an issue for all political systems.

It’s not a “get rid of billionaires and the issue is fixed”. We must both redistribute power so it is at more reasonable levels. And clean the entities.

And once the power imbalance is smaller and the entities are clean, it is a constant maintenance fight to keep those entities clean and the power balanced.

A single democratic election can give a lot of power to a person that previously had none. Power is always flowing.

Calculating the AR locally doesn’t mean that you won’t be sending the recording to Facebook.

They don’t collect data because it is necessary for the technology they use. They collect data because they sell it.

For AR you need to be recording. If you are recording, it is being sent to Facebook servers. You accepted Facebook’s terms and conditions, not me.

If you don’t want to be punched, you should advocate for laws that make the glasshole glasses ugly through non-avoidable methods of detecting if the glasses are recording.

For example by requiring every glass hole glass to have a physical cover that physically covers the view of the camera, and it should be a bright color to easily see if it is covering the camera or not. The contour of the camera should be painted with an equally bright color, contrasting highly with the cover. So you can easily see if the cover is covering it completely.

A led that turns on when recording is not enough, it’s very easy to remove a led from a device.

If you want to not use glass hole glasses for evil, you should want it to be mandatory for other people to see if you’re using it for evil or not.

You can’t pirate ram though

Do they get to release the legitimate interest mosquitoes if they aren’t given permission?

Because I don’t want to be a politician.

There are also too many stupid executives. That doesn’t mean that I want to be an executive. I cannot both be a politician and an executive.

Yes, the post is meant to be pro-left.

But your first sentence in your comment is wrong. Classic correlation is not causation. With the addition of “if X is Y because Z, if Z wouldn’t be, then X wouldn’t be Y”.

An emergency stop is better than nothing, but they should ALSO have an emergency “let me take control”. Sometimes stopping does not decrease the danger.

Example: the waymo enters a rail crossing with flashing lights, and the barriers close with the car inside. The waymo sees the barriers so it stops. What you want in that case is accelerate and get the fuck out of there. If you have a baby in the backseat, there may not be enough time to get the baby and get out of there on foot.

You may not like Israel. But it’s still a country. Immigrants making parades of their countries is normal when a city has a big population of said country.

Usually those parades are organized by the immigrants though, and just receive the help/blessing of the city. Idk if this one is organized by NYC or by the Jews.

Immigrants celebrating their country of origin is very different from political parties doing it.

You’re making me sound like I support Israel, I don’t. But it should be up to NYC and its population whether they should support this parade. Whether people outside NYC like Israel or not shouldn’t matter.

For example my city is very pro-palestine. So there are pro-palestine parades/protests and no pro-israel ones.

Otherwise, there would be no country-parades. Since there is no country that isn’t hated by some people.

I know. But just based on numbers, if there are a lot of Jewish people, there’s probably lots of Zionists.

Even if just 10% of NYC Jews are Zionists, that’s a lot of Zionists.

IIRC there’s either more Jews in NYC than in Israel, or it’s the place with most jew (except Israel). So it kinda makes sense. Just like there’s a lot of Cubans in Miami. They probably have cuba-related parties too.

It’s the only logical place. Trump won the FIFA peace prize. It’s only fair they hold the world cup in his country.

It’s from the episode of Futurama where “death by snu-snu” happens

Disagree. You can easily degooglify for the most part. Except android. But you won’t get your friends and family to contact you via anything other than Whatsapp (except in america).

And teens without Instagram just don’t exist socially. Maybe with TikTok now. But not like TikTok is any better.

Why shut it down though? Just take over it and intercept the traffic. If you shut it down, a new one will just be made.

Just because it is in a community with the name “shitpost” in it, doesn’t make it a shitpost. This is definitely not a shitpost.

That’s not lazyness. Multiplication is always done before addition. No need for parenthesis for that.

I’ve heard people argue in both sides of “is 0 a natural number?”. But I’ve never before encountered the “there are no natural numbers” argument. It’s like flipping a coin and having it land sidewise.

Backdoors are features, not bugs though.
