    The Bolt isn't unconventional, they (US automakers) do this to all their economy cars to shame the driver.

  2. Lol that thing looks like a Aztec mini-me.

  3. It was a joke.

  4. Bolt has that 'aspirational styling' that goes stale as soon as you drive it off the lot. They build the shame right into the design!

    Bolt has that awful instantly out date look that they put on American cars so they age poorly. Tesla has more classic lines that should look good down the road.

    That's bs. Muzzle the NRC and build licensed French designs. Nobody has the willpower to do it.

    Right. So your answer to being irrefutably wrong is to create a nonsense scenario. You win the debate club with that?

    Because nobody here knows what they are talking about anyone and they are spouting a bunch of BS. They should stick to complaining about systemd.....

    How is this different that parents consenting to correct a hole in the heart or spinal bifida through surgery on a baby?

    If I was an embroyo with messed up gene sequence, I say yes. But since I am unable to consent I will leave it up to my parents.

    Or moreso, when this person is born and grows up, know that I failed to treat a damaging mutation because I wanted to be 'natural' , without their consent. Which child/adult would be angrier, the one with a painful disabling disease or the one without?

    When I create someone 'naturally' I am creating them and possibly passing mutations to them without their consent. How is this different?

    So how isn't editing our own genes 'nature working'? Building nuclear reactors is natural too. These are dumb philosophic things that were argued to death centuries ago.

    However, it's true that while new technology solves problems, it also creates new ones.

    So what? We will deal with the problems when the happen like we always do.

    To me taking an unpaid internship after graduating indicates the field you studied has very poor job prospects. I think the article has the whole causation thing bass-ackwards.

    Poor kids used to work part time to pay for school. If the free money punch bowl is taken away tuition would fall into line and poor kids could pay for school again with a part time job.
