    Of the three things: hard work, merits and luck only one is controllable by you.

    That's why it makes no sense to whine about not being rich.

    What exactly the 2 dollars are spent on?

    Not all spending is good for society. If they seond all the extra money on drugs, junk food and junk everything, junk economy benefits.

  9. Re: Shit happens, things change. on Tesla Shifts the Goalposts For 'Full Self-Driving' Technology (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I wish industry stop making big deal out of self driving. There will be plenty of Tesla drivers pretty soon who will be able to do complete route to their work. It won't be called full automation, it will be called driver assist, but it practically won't matter.

    Tesla drivers will be sleeping in the cars all the way. It won't cover everything and it will be stull illegal, but they will do it, do it, do it, becausr they can.

    This bullshit abiut complete automation is much less important than huge comfort improvements drivers have been getting since 30 years ago when cruise control is introduced.

  15. Re:Key wording on Facebook Takes Down Fake Account Network Used To Spread Hate In UK (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's not about fake accounts. It''s about accounts of certain political persuasion. There are plenty pro-violence antifa accounts that nobody touches, from organizations like BLM.

    Look at the video of MAGA children from province visiting Washington. In the beginning you see the black activists openly declaring their racist views for years in the vicinity of the white house.

    Nothing happens to the account of these.

  16. i like Amazon, but on Amazon Closing All of Its 87 Pop-Up Stores As Its Retail Strategy Shifts (npr.org) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I like Amazon (shopping experience) and I like their original entertainment content, but their purchase of Whole Foods killed the store. Quality went down dramatically, especially the most sensitive part: fresh fruits and vegetables.

  17. What a bullshit argument. Catholics are major group, Muslims are minority. If you reverse your example, you will see the reality: catholics teaching us about Islam in media

  20. No law ever had a goal of eliminating the crime, only curbing it.

    Said that, I do not believe much crime is committed by means of telecommunication. Shady relations between government and business is the major source of the crime (Waste management, anybody?)

    I haven't seen detection of traffic lights in this video, only the detection of stop lines (which are not there at the highway, so that's new) and cars in front of them (which is not new).
