Guess again, we will build high-speed rail from Bay Area to LA instead of all of that.

This is very odd argument, in the name "equality" anyone should be able to open account in your name?

Satire is not usually funny. And making fun of someone/something is not usually a satire.

I don't see anything misleading, the article says exactly this. And I don't believe that testing was supposed to put things on fire, I presume fire is not supposed to happen at all. Definitely worth reporting.

That someone will be ruined if her/his mortgage is $800k and house has to be sold.

Is not that a ludicrous speed? :)

Only true if you ignore timezones and DST (which most people do because it is unholy mess) or stick to UTC.

"All platforms" does not include Android?

I wish it was the opposite - the more you social-distance the richer you get :)

Zero multiplied by infinity does not have to be zero, it can be anything between zero and infinity. Refresh your https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus.

Thanks for great write-up, fun to read! I only notices one tiny typo: "when apples are a fruit, then bananas or applies implies bananas or fruits" - "applies" should be "apples" I guess.

I don't think so. You lived there for a number of years and you already paid fair taxes and when you bought the property you knew what the taxes are going to be and that allowed you to plan your life. People who are buying it now also know what their taxes are going to be now, and they should thank you for your share of the taxes that you paid over the years to keep community in good shape.

Siberia is vast, checking one town for it's climate is not representative. While most of the southern part of Siberia is relatively mild (like nothern central US) there are huge regions that are known for more extreme temperatures, in particular Sakha (Yakutiya): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakha#Climate

Plus I totally expect that the same people who were "offended" by master will get "offended" by main very quick.

Switching back to master immediately. "main" is much more offensive _to me_.

I guess you did not go into it deeply enough :)

Of course you need to have an interest, motivation, and resources to go deep.

I don't believe capitalism is a problem here, same shit happened in socialism (without twitter of course). It's a human nature, I guess.

Nah, targeted advertising for cows will work better.

That depends entirely on your definition of a progress.

With that kind of ego she will soon claim "in the known or visible universe" :)

People "selling" their skills on YouTube are not actually selling anything. They help YouTube to sell ad space to advertisers, that is all.

True. Especially if you like to live with rats and mice.

They should have distilled it inside the Dome too, using "natural core heat" to reduce carbon footprint.

I'm optimistic that Earth (our environment) will survive, but I'm also sure that it will be less hospitable for human life. If catastrophe is going to happen it is more likely that it will be human-induced catastrophe (wars, genocide, famine) rather than environmental one.

And don't forget to burn the books.

It's not even a progress, it is _growth_.

Wait until they start embedding cameras in toilet seats. "For better passenger comfort".

"project didn't die by accident but that it was killed"

I rather think it was still-born. Original ballot was a bunch of lies which could never work without additional huge billions and lack of profits.

I presume not FDIC-insured.

Would you count car's AI "driver" as a fatality then?
