  • Typewriters were not designed for ergonomics at all. They were made to make mechanical levers attached to the keys functional.

    The up-angled keys are basically just a relic of mechanical design that people got used to. Like the QWERTY layout, which is also designed for mechanical function of a bunch of tiny levers swinging at a piece of paper, it's actually designed to slow down typing speed and is also terrible for ergonomics.

    Negative tilt is the actual ergonomic position.

    Much like QWERTY, keyboards are designed with positive tilt for no reason other than "it's always been that way" and "people got used to it"

  • On one hand, unmanned airplanes (drones or remote controlled) will outfly anything with a human on board, because humans are generally the weakest part of the plane. No human = no cockpit or life support, no hatch, no windows, no ejection seats, etc. An equivalent drone plane will be lighter, more structurally sound, and can maneuver at g-forces that will kill a human pilot.

    That's the hardware side of things, of course.

    The software and information security is definitely not there yet... But I'm sure Elon thinks it'll be ready "next year" just like Full Self Driving...

  • I'd be in favor of both. Universal services and some income.

    A little bit of basic income would allow some flexibility just in case there's something that UBS doesn't cover on an individual level.

    UBI that's big enough to cover housing, food, clothing, education, etc would almost certainly get abused and exploited in every way possible to not be used on housing, food, clothing, and education...

  • You have to keep in mind that hypocrisy is not considered a bad thing to conservatives. It doesn't matter that they're hurting people, as long as they're "hurting the right people."

    Conservative mindset is inherently unequal. The ingroup gets all rewards and benefits, the outgroup gets all blame and punishment.
