These violent storms that cost you hundreds of millions of pounds every time they hit are just the beginning.
And this is why so many people end up being skeptical. Fear-mongering. The worst storm I've witnessed in my life was during the 90s. Most people around here would agree with me.
I'm not a denier, at all. But telling all of us "do this or else it'll get worse!" when nobody truly knows for sure, is why there are still a lot of people who dismiss climate change.
Average people are really fucking sick of the whole "the sky is falling!"
...investment products should obviously be charged at a flat fee i.e 40USD/ mth like any other service...but then, that's why they can afford to lobby politicians and drive a porsche whilst the people who retire on their 401Ks live out a meager lifestyle and wonder where their money went!?
No. People aren't going to PAY 40$ a month (or any amount for that matter) to invest. That's silly and you know why because you explained the reason people don't seem to "care" about the 0.5% yourself. They don't even notice it. It'll hurt when they run the numbers once it comes retiring time; but not as much as if they didn't invest for retirement at all, like most people nowadays seem to do.
... and run ourselves into the ground. Let's assume we find a planet full of greenery and what appears to be a booming Triassic. What do you think will be the first industry created out of that? Big Game Hunting, anyone?
People suck too much for our influence to spread across the universe. Let's not ruin everyone else's chances.
I almost never answer my phone unless it's VERY obvious who it is. Let it ring, if it's important they can leave a voicemail. 99% of the time they don't, so I assume spam, and move on with my life.
There's more than just my cellphone to reach me with. If it's important enough they'll contact me.
Two parents posts up the guy literally explained a valid reason and you even acknowledged it.
Two posts down, you followed up with:
The ONLY reason is so the person can't call you back directly and has to go to a central answering service. Companies love that, but that is their problem.
You need to go for a walk dude. Do you even read the stuff you type out?
Shouldn't these employees just leave the company in rebellion then? What a fucking toxic environment. These people seriously need to get over themselves.
I could be wrong; but I'm fairly positive they don't just have the car drive down a drag strip or race track and call it good. They might start here, but these are the baby steps, surely.
Every player in autonomous vehicles has a ton riding on the fact that if they're first (or near) to market and don't kill a bunch of people in the process, they will be rich beyond belief. This alone is enough to assume "proper testing" is being done.
Besides, they can't be worst than even the "good" range of bad drivers currently on the road. My cousin rear-ended a parked car on main street because he could only be bothered to clean out a tiny bit of his frozen windshield. He's a smart guy otherwise, that kind of carelessness would get him killed with his everyday work, but what I'm trying to say is, people do stupid shit sometimes, and those same people get behind the wheel everyday.

Are you one of those who thinks a computer can't drive better than you?
Look bud, I love driving too, but get your head out of your ass.
and the engineers won't even ask the public.
And they shouldn't. The public are not engineers.

Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode.

Not as easy as it may sounds.
Just leave your neighbor's number. Your move.
Basically.
It's easier to get people to trust this machine then go "Oh well it told us these were really really bad people so we bombed them."
It's obviously a switch...

They're not uninstalled. What gives?
How often can we rehash the same thing?
We've been saying this for how long now?
You mean it's both true AND false at the same time!
And they should stop redesigning it every goddamn iteration.
You skipped the part where I said I wasn't a denier.
I just understand lay-people apparently.

Not remotely what I said mate. Re-read.

Morons.
It pisses me off that a cunt like you goes around saying cunts like you can't go around pissing you off.
Not everyone. But a disturbingly large number of people...
