I've always thought it would be an interesting experiment for all (or most) proposed laws to be written as though they were scientific experiments, complete with:
Hypothesis (what is the law intended to accomplish?),
Metrics (how will effectiveness be measured),
Effectiveness period (when will these effects be realized?)
Success cnriteria (what is the minimum effect to consider the law effective?)
Side effects (what might go wrong, and how will that be evaluated?)
There's probably lots that does not cover, but the main idea is that any new law comes with quantitative ways to determine its effectiveness against its stated goals. Any law that does not meet those goals in the predefined time period is scrapped.
But again, as Zeppo said, without an informed and interested electorate, it's all pretty much moot.
I don't think you can fully remove all the HUD elements in Ghost of Tsushima, but there's an "expert" mode that removes most of them to make it more immersive.
Another point that rarely seems to be accounted for is what type of miles are being used for comparison.
Aggregate autopilot crash rates may look good compared to non-autopilot rates, but if autopilot cannot be used in inclement weather, challenging roads, or other risky situations, then the statistic is misleading. (Statistics??? Misleading??? Well, I never....)
They don't have to be happy about the situation, they just have to ask themselves honestly if more prison stabbings is a good thing or a bad thing, and maybe explain why they trust inmates to make the judgement of who does and does not get stabbed.
The whole argument literally has no more depth than "Fuck that guy". I feel like these people would be justifying drunk drivers if Chauvin had been run down by one.
According to the cube rule of food, pasta is a type of nachos. I have no idea how this is helpful though.
My own 2 cents is that something like string theory is at play here... the dimensionality of the sandwich is all wrapped up in what appears to be a 1-dimensional carbohydrate noodle, but if you could zoom in with a crazy powerful electronic microscope, theoretically the pasta might actually look like a stupendously long sub sandwich.
It's all a matter of perspective.
Edit: shit, I meant to reply to Pons_Aelius... oh well.
Bookmarks/favorites are designed specifically for managing large collections of more or less frequently accessed sites. They have descriptions, tags, folder structures, etc all built in and requiring a few kb of disk space each instead of 100MB of RAM. I'm wracking my brain for a reason why deliberately keeping hundreds or thousands of tabs loaded could possibly be more effective at managing a collection of resources. I got nothing though...
It's astounding how much fuckery can be traced to just a handful of names. 😞
