  • The desire of some people, even family, for revenge is not a good enough reason to murder someone. Such desire is perfectly natural for an individual but a state should be above this. The state should be caring for the good of the society as a whole and killing people doesn't bring anything good to it. This is something Europeans understood long time ago but Americans most probably never will.

  • Switzerland actually (but I was closer). I thought it was supposed to be instant not take minutes to lose consciousnesses. Struggling to breath for 10 seconds would be terrible. Minutes? No thank you. This definitely doesn't make it look any good.

    In Spain they just let you drink a lot of pentobarbital at home. It's supervised by a doctor and hundredths of people already did it without issues. The pod is just a gimmick.

  • Sure it is. Platforms could for example close online sign ups and make people go to a physical location to open an account. Just like with banks. This of course will not pass but the issue is not that you can't enforce age limit. Banks do it. Online banks also do it. The issue is that enforcing this would kill the platforms.

  • Exactly. She also doesn't have to worry that the guy she's dating saw it and will dump her or that her co-workers saw it and are spreading rumours at work. She has to worry about her multimillion dollar brand which is something other women don't really have issues with. It's terrible for her but to claim that she somehow represents other woman in this is ridiculous.

  • If you want to race on a airstrip or a racetrack buy a race car and take it there on a flatbed. Driving racecars on normal streets doesn't make sense.

    You will still have issues with people going 30mph in 20pmh zone but it's a good compromise: you're reducing the most deadly high speed crashes but the solution is extremely simple (it doesn't require GPS or image analysis) which means it will not have false positives, it will not affect the price of new cars and it will be better for privacy. It can also be retroactively applied to many existing cars so you could introduce it sooner.

  • You're mixing AR and VR all the time. VR has a lot of entertainment potential that will be realized once the tech gets better and cheaper, probably fairly soon. For AR to be useful for normal users it will have to replace phones, not PCs. I can see people using it on the subway to browse isntagram or while walking for navigation and answering calls. For this it will have to become super small and light, just like normal glasses. Vision pro is 600g + battery pack. We're decades away from something that will be able to compete with phones.

  • Ok, I see how you could get confused and think we're talking about some non-existing, future product instead of the device this post is actually about. No problem, this happens.

    When it comes to AR in general Magic Leap was pushing it hard for a very long time and after they released actual device their value quickly dropped. AR for general public is a gimmick, it doesn't solve any problems, no one wants it. It has very interesting applications in some very specific fields and definitely will find it uses with professionals but when it comes to your dream of looking at 15 4k screens while sitting on a toilet most people are happy with just their phones.
