  • Driverless does not meant unmonitored. Aside from numerous sensors, including door sensors, you really think if it suddenly slows to 0 mph at an unscheduled time/location that it's not going to alert someone? "Hey, your freight just stopped transporting itself. Guess we should do nothing". Aside from most of these being ready to be taken over by a remote driver if need be for liability and convenience reasons.

  • Large neodymium magnet on the bottom will do it. Most are induction activated. They taught this in every motorcycle driving class I ever attended, along with the rules for legally running a red light.

  • Except that nearly all US rail is for freight. We hate PASSENGER trains. We freaking love freight rail.

  • Nah, I just get a notification and I can do basic math on dates. It's really not that complicated.

  • A step in the right direction isn't good enough when there's miles to tread.

    So all or nothing? Then you'll get nothing.

  • But did Tesla facilitate that or was Tesla worn like a puppet by an investor(Elon). There's a distinct difference and what I'm asking. Do we blame every company that gets gutted by Venture Capitalists? Do they have no path to redemption?

  • "I went to places where people congregate for this kind of thing and was surprised there weren't people calling it out"

    Well DUH. The normal people see that shit and don't bother to register an account on the forum to post. And if they do, the mods removed it. How is that surprising at all? There are numerous instances on Lemmy that have the same behaviour(albeit for normal hobbies). Are you really surprised that in the Conservative instances it's not wall to wall "you guys suck"?

    This is just confirmation bias. You found what you were looking for while actively searching it out.

  • I mean, in fairness, do we have any qualms with the rest of the company? Elon was directly responsible for pretty much all of the cyber truck decisions. But the regular Tesla's, aside from Elon prohibiting lidar and making false claims about self driving, are pretty decent. Without him, lidar might get implemented, the cyber truck will probably be scrapped, and real engineers will have their voices heard again.

    Isn't that kind of what we want from a company? To realize their errors and remove the cancerous parts?

  • As much as I want to hate the researchers for this, how are you going to ethically test whether you can manipulate people without... manipulating people. And isn't there an argument to be made for harm reduction? I mean, this stuff is already going on. Do we just ignore it or only test it in sanitized environments that won't really apply to the real world?

    I dunno, mostly just shooting the shit, but I think there is an argument to be made that this kind of research and it's results are more valuable than the potential harm. Tho the way this particular research team went about it, including changing the study fundamentally without further approval, does pose problems.

  • I'll just say it's very clear you've never seen what a botched circumcision does to a penis. You also don't seem to know the biology of the male genitals very well either if you think it's "just skin".

    Why don't we instead focus on "bodily autonomy"? No one should have unnecessary medical procedures done against their will and without their consent. It's a pretty simple rule that applies to everyone and covers most of these issues simply.

  • They didn't ban the people on their instance like you wanted so you shut out the entire instance. I love watching "liberals" discover disctorships in their own communities. It's cute.

  • "You all". It's a gender neutral way to reference people. Are you seriously offended by that too?

    Keep being insufferable and wondering why the world doesn't bend to your will. It's gonna be a miserable life for you.

  • This is why no one takes y'all seriously. Expecting every interaction to be perfectly suited to you or you opt out. Guess what, life has adversity. Life has difficulties. But if you shut yourself off from everything that makes you slightly uncomfortable, you'll never grow and develop as a person.

  • One user upset you and the admins didn't capitulate exactly how you wanted, so you're defederating...... You're making way more drama out of it than anyone else. How do you handle any sort of difficult situation in your life?

  • I don't believe that ‘being able to be elected by voters one more time’ is even close to being the same as a ‘fascist dictatorship’.

    Where was the question? I only see misinformed assumptions and straight falsehoods.

    I refer you to my original request about stfu-ing

  • Fair point. I was focusing more on the "with or without the people's blessing" aspect.

  • It's really nice when the false progressives out themselves so openly.

  • If only it covered vice president succession as well... Oh wait....

  • Simple. If done by a single person or small group that is not representative of the whole, it's facism. If done with the blessing of the people, it's not.

    If trump passed an amendment changing that, and did so by acquiring the proper amount of votes in all areas, that would be fine.

    If he does it by saying "I can because I say so", that's facism.

    I know you're just being a troll or intentionally ignorant, but that's the answer. You're intentionally stripping ALL THE NUANCE out and trying to act naive.
