The snap was always the dumbest part of the entire avenger series. Let's say for example, you have a bunch of deer that are eating the forest bare, so you let hunters kill half of them... Then what happens next? You have the exact same problem in a few years. The snap solves nothing.

Also if you can snap your fingers and do this, why can't you snap your fingers and make twice the food supply?

The snap is just stupid, even in a world made-up physics-defying superheroes.

If you don't mind sharing, I would love to hear your memories of that.

It was the boombox outside her window that got her, wasn't it? /s

The ones that really get me are the way they show execs at companies. The "look, this character is so bad ass at being an exec!". They always come off as so unrealistic and cringy.

I've swam in that ocean, and that's not how that shit works. Engineering too. In reality, it's always a team of engineers that get something done... It is NEVER some rich smart guy inventing stuff on his or her own in their super fancy workshop.

  1. Vehicle needed lidar
  2. Vehicle should have a collision detection indicator for anomalous collisions and random mechanical problems

I'm confused though, what is the logic for redacting the statement? What is the legal justification?

I feel like you don't actually remember what web 1.0 was like. Or even bbs's. They... kind of sucked. I mean they were great for the time, but compared to the internet of today, pathetic.

Oh no doubt. I'm not saying that I come home and jump into doing chores, I'm saying that doing constructive or productive stuff in your own life can have a good recharge feeling in it's own way. I certainly come home and veg in front of the computer... but if I spend the whole weekend vegging in front of my computer I end up feeling MORE like shit than I did on Friday. A healthy combination of both leaves me feeling recharged and happy.

Doesn't matter. Still feels good to get stuff done that's for you and not for somebody else. I've gotten old enough that I'd love doing gardening or fixing stuff around the house on my weekends. That shit's for me, it makes my life better, not someone else's.

This is directly a result of Elon's edict that Tesla cars don't use lidar. If you aren't aware Elon set that as a requirement at the beginning of Tesla's self driving project because he didn't want to spend the money on lidar for all Tesla cars.

His "first principles" logic is that humans don't use lidar therefore self driving should be able to be accomplished without (expensive) enhanced vision tools. While this statement has some modicum of truth, it's obviously going to trade off safely in situations where vision is compromised. Think fog or sunlight shining in your cameras / eyes or a person running across the street at night wearing all black. There are obvious scenarios where lidar is a massive safety advantage, but Elon made a decision for $$ to not have that. This sounds like a direct and obvious outcome of that edict.

Just like it would be if Netanyahu was assassinated.

Why not? What's the benefit of being so bitter?
