I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of this bug, I'm just saying it doesn't have as catastrophic implications as it would if this happened in a state-of-the-art Tesla.
I thought it was a Tesla that somehow completely failed to see a pedestrian and then to stop when it made contact, which would have terrible implications for the rest of the fleet.
We're in a progressive country where gender equality is good and most people are aware to not show bias and offer girls toy cars and stuff.
My takeaway from the past two years is: There is clear gender preference. Boys generally like cars, girls like dolls. Both like books and puzzles.
Of course there are exceptions but the stereotype is a stereotype for a reason.

I agree there is probably nothing inherently 'wasteful' about drop-shipping, but it is just another middleman and so it 'wastes' money for the buyer/seller, but that's probably a thin argument.
But of course the main wastefulness of the process is the whole system of constantly pushing people to consume tons of disposable useless crap.
Also from a security perspective, you can't hijack a train and crash it into some building (it has to stay on the tracks), so that's a plus for trains.
Finally a domestic train causes about 41 g/km of CO2 emissions, while a domestic flight causes about 254 g/km (accounting for altitude) [0]
Otherwise there is no way to distinguish between someone who never got cancer and someone who did but had the progression stop before it became a problem.
I don't think there really is any feasible way to prevent rich people and companies to have access to more/better representation.
As a side not since this is HN: The article summary box lists Nazi Germany as a party to the exercise with all of the E-boats, presumably due to article quality control requirements in the Wikipedia system.
It's impossible to look at someone and tell with certainty that they are being exploited, but it's easy to look at a group of people and notice if any of them are from the local privileged peoples, and if most of them are from poorer regions.
The example given is of a 500% increase in rent, by definition no rent control law should make such an increase possible in a short time frame.
If it is the case that she didn't contribute the most complicated stuff, then I can assure you it is not the first time in history that the face of a project is not the one that did the hardest work. Also as has repeatedly been said, she always said it was a team effort.
This is all said with the caveat that I didn't follow this 'controversy' and never cared to look at the contribution distribution of all the project members.
And then of course with ever increasing mobility, the differences are probably 'smoothing out' so to speak.
>Otherwise racial differences would be of no more significance than, say, differences in hair or eye color.
Interesting example, because red haired people generally have more sensitive skin and are prone to burning in the sun. This is an example of the kinds of differences that it is actually interesting and helpful to study.
Sure, racists are interested in race and everything related to it because they feel they are superior, and conveniently disregard the things that don't support them being superior.
But race is not a cultural construct, as evidenced by the fact that you can't culturally adapt your skin to change colors.
It is entirely possible to note the differences between men and women without being sexist. It is also possible to be interested in and note the differences between different parts of the human population without being racist.
Fair point.
>Your opinion of a "sensible position" on "gun control" is almost certainly different from mine.
A sensible position can be anywhere on a broad spectrum. It does not include arming teachers and does not include selling guns to diagnosed mentally unstable people.
>I would take the perspective that people openly supporting socialism is a much further-leftward lurch than any thing on the right. [0]
I would have to disagree. I think for-profit prisons, money-is-speech, on-your-own healthcare are three examples of extreme individualism and anti-social-ism that it seems the Republicans are proud of.
>You also brand the NRA as "fringe" and as "general nutcases", which is again unfair. Your political opinion is not the single source of truth or the center of the political spectrum.
The NRA is fringe, it has recently been shown how it has been hijacked over the course of a decade or more by the Russians to sow discord and destabilize your country. That's why I chose to use such inflammatory words.
>Your implication here is that the right has become fringe, but the graph linked above shows otherwise.
This may be true, I honestly did not have time to read the whole article. I don't disagree that the left has a bunch of issues and idiotic positions, hyper-sensitivity and a general vicious lack of tolerance for momentary lapses in judgement being the main ones in my opinion.
