Self driving car companies benefit from more total units on the road compared to limiting service and charging more. It will only take one of the companies selling outright to customers for the entire industry to be forced to drop prices.
These apps will die slowly until the companies can switch to self driving electric cars.
Once they become common/cheap enough that a pizza place can afford one or two self driving cars doing delivery the prices on these things will absolutely crash.
For pizza, I wouldn't be surprised if it went a step further and the pizza was made and cooked by a robot inside the vehicle while it drives around. Only needing to go restock and recharge every few hours.
Not needing a retail location or almost any staff would make the whole thing super cheap to operate.
If one man shows up to every woman's weight lifting competition and wins every time and at the same time three other men show up and place last every time, the situation is still unfair to women because someone still had an unfair advantage.
If you'd be willing to put yourself in harms way for another person, you love them. By harm I don't necessarily mean dying, harm could mean even a risk of an injury or something.
Just to be clear, love doesn't necessarily mean romantic love, it can be love for a family member, a friend, or even just society in general.
I'd jump in front of a car to protect my wife and kids, but probably not my dad. He'd be okay with that since he'd be the one jumping in front of the car to protect me. If he calls me up and asks me to help him install something on top of his house (he has a history of falling off ladders) I'd go do that for him though.
Why does every trans athlete have to be better than Britney Griner for it to be unfair?
That's an unreasonable stance.
Women's sports leagues exist to eliminate men from competing where it would be unfair. Letting in anyone who surpasses ANY woman in that league simply because they were doping with Testosterone as a teenager breaks the entire spirit of why that league exists.
There was an example of a high school wrestler who was transitioning to male that was forced (he wanted to wrestle in the boys category) to compete against girls and went 52-0 that season.
I have no problem with Trans athletes competing in open or men's leagues, but there hasn't been a single trans man that has ever participated in the Olympics because without the benefit of natural testosterone during development they simply can't compete at that level. There was one trans man who almost made the Olympics (he got to the trials leading up to the Olympics) but he didn't succeed in making it there.
No matter how much we want to be inclusive, and I'm all for being inclusive as much as possible, if we've intentionally created a lower category for competition then it should only include the people who actually belong in that category.
We should just rename the categories from Mens and Womens to be "Over X Testosterone from ages 10-20" and "Under X Testosterone from ages 10-20" because that's what they were really meant to represent.
That's not even close to similar since race has no significant bearing on physical capabilities as is easily proven by the Olympics results even when black people were still being excluded in North America.
The top female athletes get absolutely wrecked at strength based sports by even mediocre male athletes. Just go look up the Williams sisters vs Braasch (tennis)
Anyone who keeps claiming that trans athletes have zero benefit are lying to themselves. There are some who have no benefit, especially if they transitioned pre-puberty, but it's clear as day biologically that they were literally doping for a decade of their development if they transitioned later.
The whole point of women's sport leagues is because it's unfair to have them compete against men. Trying to impose fairness with something designed to be unfair is folly.
As for moderation, it's far more time efficient for a small group of people to handle this than it is to leave it up to individual users.
If one person posts a spam message, it's easier for a couple people to report it and a moderator to remove the post/user than it is to have a thousand people have to see it and decide if they want to ignore/block it.
If you think about this from an individual perspective, if you go out to a protest, and by doing so block an ambulance from getting to a patient leading to their death. Morally, that death is on you.
This isn't any different, by protesting you caused an electoral result that led to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Being part of a group does not absolve you of the results that group causes.
Again, The road to hell is paved with good intentions. That saying exists for a reason. People do things for the right reasons, but they turn out to have bad consequences all the time.
It's not the genocide that was unpopular because of the protestors, it was voting that was unpopular because of the protest. The protests brought far more attention to the situation, and people stayed home on voting day because of it.
If you think that the only difference between Democrats and Republicans was their support for the Israeli situation then you're completely delusional.
How else were they supposed to get the democrats to stop driving the bus off the cliff?
You can't always get what you want, and sometimes you get what you don't want. Knowing when is the right time to take action is just as important sometimes as taking action.
All this protest did was end up with Palestinians in an even worse spot.
I said it was NOT unforeseen. People knew that these protests would suppress democratic voters, and would be unlikely to sway the current administration. They protested anyways knowing that could cause a Trump victory. Now by the time the next election comes around, there may not be a Palestinian people for the Democratic party to support.
This situation is the textbook definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
