> These businesses should be paid by the landlord to occupy (and therefore maintain) the property for them.

Please, ELI5, how would there be any landlords left if they had to pay their tenants (rather than the other way around)? Or maybe you’re arguing that there shouldn’t be any landlords?

Random thoughts that I might not fully agree with myself but that I think it’s interesting to think about:

What if the solution to misinformation is _more_ information? If 99 % of all information that you come across is wrong (and you know it), you’re forced to start thinking critically or just believe in random things.

That is, if someone believes that we’ve never been to the Moon, feed them with information of the same logical structure that we’ve never been to the North pole. If someone believe that a politician is guilty of something just because he’s been accused of it, make the same accusations towards one hundered other random politicians. If someone is seeing ghosts, tell them that you’ve been seeing dinosaur ghosts in ballerina costumes.

In order to not die in such an environment because you haphazardly eat led for breakfast, you’re forced to develop critical thinking skills.

> Do you truly see no difference between a lie that leads to someone getting harmed and a truth that leads to the same outcome?

Only if the action is justifiable in the first place. Let’s say someone wants to kill gay people (or people who are against vaccines, or people who want to raise taxes); does it really matter whether he kills an actual gay person or whether he kills a straight person who he mistakenly thinks is gay?

Why is it an abhorrent comment?

Who said anything about that you should feel sorry for Jeff Bezos? The parent commentator simply described the circumstances regarding what Jeff Bezos can get. Who are you arguing against?

That's often not the point of analogies like this. So for the analog to be valid, the seriousness of the situation described doesn't have to be on similar levels. If you look up the definition of "analogy" on merriam-webster.com it says: "resemblance in some [my emphasis] particulars between things otherwise unlike"

Yeah, I experience the same thing on YouTube. It's entertaining, so I'm not really complaining, but it's of course wasted money for an advertiser to try to sell me a subscription to a local streaming service or buy shampoo that I've never heard of.

It shouldn't be that hard to realize I'm only visiting a place and that they should keep serving me whatever ads I would see at home (or maybe tourist related stuff).

> Ford CEO Jim Farley justified this by saying on the company’s earnings call Wednesday evening that “profitable, fully autonomous vehicles at scale are a long way off and we won’t necessarily have to create that technology for ourselves.”

i.e., “Tesla has won, we’ll license the technology from them.”

I fully agree. Everyday on my commute I see tons of people who are on their phones, and I’ve stoped counting the amount of unsafe overtakes and tailgating that I experience. I would take all the cars being driven by FSD any day of the week!

But I thought that penultimate meant next to the last, not the last (i.e., final).

Slay the Spire, Inscryption (which now has an endless mode), and Ring of Pain are a few relatively new games that comes to mind.

Also, not a rougelike but the newly released Marvel Snap is a really well thought out card battler where every match is just 2-3 minutes long.

Funny joke, and I hate to be that guy, but isn’t “final penultimate” a logical contradiction? :)

If you read this whole thread, you can see that OP recommended to try the treatment before they knew about this MS specific risk.

But the person can just sit there and not continue to drive after an intervention. I don’t see why this video wouldn’t be possible or interesting.

Totally agree. I got dizzy within the first couple of seconds scrolling down the page.

Why do people think it's a good idea to circumvent the scrolling behavior that the developers of the browser probably have spent hundred of hours perfecting over the years?

My thoughts exactly. And the Tesla FSD is already at a level where it allows you to relax and drive more safely (even though you have to be ready to take over).

Maybe there isn’t a train available. Maybe it takes much longer time taking the train. Maybe you don’t like sitting close to other people for several hours each week.

I can think of many reasons why train wouldn’t be an option.

Regarding A): Exactly! I don’t really mind traveling together with people from my own class (I might even prefer it), but I don’t really want to travel with lower class people. That just makes me feel like I’m one of them.

I think this attitude is quite common, but people won’t admit it. I would never admit it like I just did if I didn’t have an anonymous account. And I don’t see how technology will change this basic preference.

Shouldn’t these numbers _always_ get reported in relation to how many people are driving (and for how long)? This increase in deaths would actually be step forward in death rates if for example people drove twice as much this year compared to last year.

I totally agree. If we (for the sake of argument) were to assume that TikTok allowed this, obviously there's nobody offering these people any better alternatives. So why should TikTok be demonized? The people who critizise TikTok are free to build a better and cheaper platform themselves.

He’s really not though. His claims aren’t of a moral nature. They’re pragmatical in terms of what could lead to peace and possibly avoid nuclear warfare that more or less could lead to the end of civilization.

If Russia wasn’t a threat, I’m 100% sure he would say that the rest of the world should help in reclaiming Crimea. So I don’t think he’s saying that Crimea belongs to Russia at all.

Aren’t you allowed to have open discussions about things anymore? Elon throws out stuff all the time, sometimes just to get the discussion started.

Also, try to steelman the guy. Where do you think this is coming from? That he agrees with Russia or that he wants to avoid nuclear war?

You’re not giving Musk enough credit. Do you think taking these things into account wasn’t part of his proposal? What do you think he would answer if he got a direct question about this part?

It is? Giving up all captured areas except for Crimea (given that a UN lead referendum would result in the other regions staying in Ukraine)? That sounds like a pretty big failure to me.

Yes, I think so. What's the point?

What was wrong about that?

I interviewed for a company once where I got a real dataset from their business and just a vague assignment to analyze the data and find something that could be optimized better. So I came up with a suggestion on how to improve factor A, but they told me later that what they were looking for was for the candidates to come up with suggestions on how to improve factor B.

Why factor B was deemed more important than factor A wasn’t something that possibly could have been understood from the dataset alone.

…which in turn would make people less inclined to go there, driving the costs down, making it possible for the small shops to come back.

While I don’t agree with the sentiment that it’s irresponsible to publish these maps, I don’t think you should underestimate how lazy the average person is, including terrorists. It often baffles me how utterly ineffective most terrorists are (which I guess , among other things, comes down to “bad”/lazy planning), only managing to kill maybe a handful of people, if even that.

Most people wouldn’t be very interested in being so nerdy as to map out the London Underground. Why would most terrorists be any different?

If that's the case, that's because the people are choosing crappy politicians who let that happen. If a father of a family lets the five-year old decide where to live, what to eat, and what to buy, that doesn't mean the five-year old has the power, it just means that the father has voluntarily given the power to him. However, he could take it back whenever he felt like it.

Same thing goes for lobbyists. They would have zero power if politicians gave them zero power. If the population would be smart and informed, this wouldn't happen. So, what's happening now is totally a result of democracy, which of course is a totally ridiculous idea^1, but it's still democratic.

[1]: Let people who have absolutely no idea how to run things decide who should run things. That's like if the passengers of an airplane, having zero experience with aviation, deciding on who the captain should be.
