Indeed. I would even go so far as to say that we're Min-Maxing society, and through this process we're eliminating the middle class

"Gave their children $100k" This is simply impossible for the overwheming majority of the population

You can probably find a large number that were gobbled up in FANG aquisitions

This is an important anecdote because it illustrates the stark divide between "making it" and "not making it" in the current era. The people who make it get unprecidented luxury but the people who don't make it live in slums.

People who "make it" often feel like their path was trivial. While people who haven't "made it" often feel like finding the path to success is impossible because it lies in their past or was never accessible to them.

It's easy to maintain your habits and it's extremely hard to change your life's course.

Here's the secret: Aliexpress is actually very good. If you can find an offering where the materials and processes are detailed AND the price reflects these details THEN you can get excellent value and items that last.

Buying without meeting these conditions will only yield garbage and scams.

The point is that "understanding police work" is irrelevant when you're building a body of neutral observers

The difference is that people can express why they made a decision

The Mach E just shouldn't have been following the way it was. Autonomous systems need to maximize their road information, not follow social trends (i.e. not follow closely on the highway at the sacrifice of visibility)

Ehh. I think it's actually 100% avoidable with a robust self driving solution. One with a smart enough margin of safety would never be in a situation where it has so little information that it initiates a crash on the highway

Look into Kia Boys and you will know that this idea would never work in modern USA culture

Canada

This is equivalent to "A colleague of mine played russian roulette but lived because the safety was on"

The moral of the story is not that safety mechanisms are good (this is self evident) but rather that you should never gamble with your life.

Eh, that sounds like a pretty good legacy for the current era. Mine will probably say "Unknown" or "Anonymous"

And before attacking with your vehicle itself, you can try counting down from 60. Works every time in my experience.
