  1. Re:VW is a Nazi company. Never forget that. on Volkswagen Settles Diesel Emissions Lawsuit Right Before Trial Set To Begin (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Utter nonsense. I think you need reminding how long the end of WWII was... coming up on 73 years. Of course things didn't magically change overnight, things like that take place over time, like the last 73 years. VW is a massive multinational company, with over 600,000 employees, the majority of them outside of Germany. The company didn't even maintain its senior management after the war, with the British running it for a few years, before it being handed over to the head of Opel. They cheated on diesel regulations because they wanted to make an extra buck, but if you want to believe they did it because they're nazis, feel free.

  2. Re:5-10 years after the technology has proven itse on Uber CEO Sees Commercialization of Flying Taxis in 5-10 Years (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    It will take that long, just to get past the regulations after the technology is proven.

    That doesn't mean it won't happen. It just means it won't happen in America. Just like in biotech, America's overregulation means technological leadership will occur elsewhere.

    Pray tell, which abhorrent regulations do you think should be swept aside to allow for the speedy development of flying taxis. I mean what could possibly go wrong with a massive increase in air traffic, at low altitudes above major population centers.

  3. Couldn't agree more. It started out promisingly enough, but as it progressed, it turned into ever more annoying drivel.

    Any chance that you'd define what you mean by "diversity bullshit"?
