A car ban with specific exceptions, like for disabled folk.

There, does that work for you?

Also, everything has positives and negatives, does not mean you should discount them as options entirely.

Is it really so crazy that if you practice gambling you might end up good at gambling? I dont see any difference between playing the stock market and playing cards for money.

Lol! Dang rich kids and their rich kid problems!

Cue someone creating a script to convert the new chapters to the old ones!

My assumption is that, since they were always going to be about collecting, processing, and selling data (usually what AI is used for commercially) that they might have what they think is between 500m and 1b in data to sell.

This might be enough to start a company from or just to assimilate the data into your own company.

The price tag has to be over estimated though by quite a lot. If we read a story about the company selling for a few million, I dont think it would seem outrageous.

Well I'm sure Somalian pirates are capable of pirating in many ways, maybe even simultaneously! Why limit yourself you know?

No worries, happens to me too!

As an aside, at least for me, that first thought that pops into my head when I am trying to understand or interpret something, can be so silly and strange and outside the box, I will legitimately laugh at myself sometimes because of it.

And if it makes you feel better, my first thought reading it was actual sailing too, but only for a moment as I added more context to it. Not sure why I would think of real sailing considering where we are posting but something in the way it was written lends to it.

The specific case here was the professor had a financial stake in new books being sold.

I do agree updated editions with new information could be important, but again when theres a financial incentive to sell new books, the obvious lean will be towards making new versions even if there is no new information.

Since the books can be required, they should be required to show proof they have substantially added to their edition or else relegate it to a minor revision (maybe adding sub-editions like 1.0, 1.1, 1.2; where you only need the first number to be current). Right now its a whole lot of, "Trust us you need this book and the only pre-owned versions are out of date".

As a side thought, this is the kind of thing that makes me wonder if they use the book costs to weed out those that will not allow themselves to be abused to that degree. This would leave only those who would conform to their leader/manager/teacher and are less likely to try to change the system.

No judgment, I think its interesting the little high-stakes decisions we make like this though.

"Oh no which spelling is it? Is there time to search it up? Oh no my train of thought is fading! Send send send!"

I can't tell if you actually are confused or not, so I'll just answer as if you are: the original poster WAS alluding to pirate-actions.

Why would you think there isnt data on Tesla crashes? Are they hiding their broken cars from bystanders and police or something now?

You realize it can be true that the driver is at fault when they crash and that the crash was more likely to happen because you have Elon contradicting his own marketing team constantly and confusing people.

He literally would take reporters in his car and take his hands off the wheel. He just fundamentally doesn't care about safety now. Probably doesn't about safety later, just saw a way to make some money.

Is 200ish crashes and 6 deaths per year too many?

I know its an absolute number but we are asking if its worth sacrificing people for the potential of safer driving later.

Can you explain why you are so confident that this will all be worth it in the end?

Evidence that teslas are more dangerous than other cars: https://www.thedrive.com/news/tesla-drivers-have-the-highest-crash-rate-of-any-brand-study

Evidence for the 200 crashes and 6 deaths a year claim for FSD: https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/26/24141361/tesla-autopilot-fsd-nhtsa-investigation-report-crash-death

If you were to strictly take that rule seriously, you should not allow FSD to drive at all, as at any speed its more dangerous than the person driving it (given an average driver who's not intoxicated).

A Tesla drover might get the impression that the cars "opinion" is better than their own, which could cause them to hesitate before intervening or to allow the car to drive in a way they are uncomfortable with.

The misinformation about the car reaches the level of negligence because even smart people are being duped by this.

Honestly I think some people just dont believe someone could lie so publicly and loudly and often, that it must be something else besides a grift.

The fact you misrepresented their point to make it sound like a gotcha moment says more about you then the person you replied to.

How do you choose what you pirate and what you dont?

Bringing up gamers telling each other to kill themselves (sometimes genuinely, although they wouldn't admit they were actually that angry) is not the gotcha you think it is.

Why dont you engage with what the person you are replying to is actually saying instead of grasping at straws.

Have you not heard of american prison labor?

I think this is a case where people might actually prefer the kiosks over the cashiers, since like you said, the kiosk doesn't vet your order wrong.

There can be multiple reasons to do things, and they can definitely add on new ideas on top 9f old ones when they realize an avenue to make more money.

I'm not even saying noone should use these apps, just be aware of what the cost actually is.

I hope people in general figure out this whole "free" stuff scam soon. Drug dealers have been giving out "testers" for hundreds of years but I guess people just assume they aren't part of the "easy to deceive" crowd.
