Wait til you find out I'm using htmx with node.

It's really not popular at all and it's growing linearly in terms of users (death sentence for a social) yet completely flat (suspiciously flat in my opinion) in terms of adoption.

Oh for sure, I don't think the tech is hard or impossible to implement. But you are describing a pretty invasive surveillance system.

The infrastructure to count passengers would be either a security nightmare because of the surveillance requirements or a inefficient mess where you have to stop for some person to manually see how many people are in the car.

The system they are describing is better.

Trucks are more expensive because they take up more space. The comment I responded to was asking why higher passenger vehicles cost more.

That is progressively less per person even though it's not less per vehicle.

Have you ever been in rush hour traffic in NY?

You cannot possibly have this opinion if you have.

What is your alternative?

Great!

How was he begging for relief?

I know how people claim it works yes.

And when everyone becomes super paranoid and keeps their money from participating in the economy then we will transcend.

Just say exit liquidity. It's faster.

The word an in this sentence (indefinite article) means that the word animal is non specific. So this structure does not follow from the original. "A is B" is not the same as "A is a B"

However, you are right that it's not always correct since "Poetry is Literature" and "Steam/Ice is H20" are both examples where this breaks down.

My annoying pedantry for the day.

I think they just understand that this is very unlikely to work even with best case estimates from people with a direct financial interest in this working

I don't think midjourney can keep up with chatGPT with dalle as is. The experience creating an image is so much better with chatGPT4 now since you don't have to memorize commands

I'm honestly not sure. I think I would say if she was in the industry for too long she is tainted as well. I was anti Ajit Pai as well for example.

I don't know what's worse her having too little experience or too much.

I think it's interesting to say she is out of her depth? What would you prefer?

This seems irrationally conspiratorial. Big tech is ridiculously influential if you equate lobbying money to influence.

Amazon, Meta and Alphabet are at the top of the list for lobbying spend

I'm firmly in the camp that in a vacuum that comment looks dumb but the thread was actually great.

Those were valid concerns at the time and the market for non technical file storage like they were building was non existant.

Perfectly rational to be skeptical and Drew answered all his questions with well thought out responses.

This hasn't happened often, but it has happened. Elastic search for example.

Also dynamo db.

Also trust. If this thing screws up now I have 2 problems, Im paying for a thing that doesn't work and I didn't get what I want.

So it's more stressful and time consuming than just doing it myself

Link?

This isn't worth responding too, have a nice life

Do you think the majority of the people who say defund the police believe that?

Just because a minority of people have a terrible opinion doesn't mean the entire movement does.

Also even the author doesn't believe they can actually abolish the police.

> I’ve been advocating the abolition of the police for years. Regardless of your view on police power — whether you want to get rid of the police or simply to make them less violent — here’s an immediate demand we can all make: Cut the number of police in half and cut their budget in half. Fewer police officers equals fewer opportunities for them to brutalize and kill people. The idea is gaining traction in Minneapolis, Dallas, Los Angeles and other cities.

> A survey from YouGov found that Americans in the highest income category were by far the most supportive of defunding the police.

> They can afford to hold this position, because they already live in safe, often gated communities. And they can afford to hire private security.

This isn't what defund the police was about at all and is just a strawman to stop inquisitions into the actual point of the defund the police movement.

> In the United States, "defund the police" is a slogan that supports removing funds from police departments and reallocating them to non-policing forms of public safety and community support, such as social services, youth services, housing, education, healthcare and other community resources. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defund_the_police

Defund the police was never a anarcho communist feel good movement despite what articles like this will guide you believe.

That said, the slogan was slightly ambiguous so it was absolutely destroyed in the "marketplace of ideas". Apparently defunding the police actually means get rid of the police entirely. I guess the slogan had to be "decrease the budget, not entirely remove it just less money, for the police and move that money into other prevention and treatment methods for community support".

How is Peter Thiel on the list of infectiously visionary and charismatic leaders?

That would be like putting Paul G on this list. Neither of those two are applauded and loved in the mainstream even if they are both rich and extremely smart.

> IMO a policy like this would not be easy to pull off

Probably would be a lot of work, but if it's important then we could definitely do it.

Id bet all my Reddit tokens that the person you are responding to has absolutely no idea that torts are even a thing.

Have you ever heard about Bobby Fischer's opinions on literally anything other than chess? Is he not intelligent?

As the other poster said it's not relevant how smart someone is in one arena because they can have dogshit opinions in others.
