take responsibility [... like] human drivers do.

But do they really? If so, why's there the saying "if you want to murder someone, do it in a car"?

I do think self-driving cars should be held to a higher standard than humans, but I believe the fundamental disagreement is in precisely how much higher.

While zero incidents is naturally what they should be aiming for, it's more of a goal for continuous improvement, like it is for air travel.

What liability can/should we place on companies that provide autonomous drivers that will ultimately lead to safer travel for everyone?

Hopefully you're in a better situation now, I'm sorry to hear you've had to go through that.

I guess I'm fortunate that I tend to associate it with some of the worst conversations I've had with people on Reddit rather than anything more personal.

X+4 what? Hours?

Perhaps there's a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.

I'd hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.

The development cost for building it out in the new engine would probably be an order of magnitude higher than the simple upscale.

If they thought they'd get an order of magnitude more sales from doing things that way, they'd have done it that way.

I'm with you, though. I'd love a proper remaster that also came as a native PC edition.

The difference is that Oliver was a sous-chef when he was first picked up for a TV show, whereas Ramsay had been head chef at multiple Michelin-starred restaurants before he got his TV shows.

Oliver's restaurants have never been awarded any Michelin stars. Ramsay's have been awarded 17.

One of these two is a real restaurateur and chef, one of these is more of a food-related lifestyle brand.

When I spent a little time in Malawi, people always loved it if you recognised Evison Matafale's music.

I believe I have read that it's literally impossible to copy an object's quantum state without destroying it, so in a real sense a transporter that's indistinguishable at a quantum level would be moving you rather than creating a copy and killing the original.

This is, again, a false dichotomy. There are also companies from C through to Z that, despite operating within a system that allows or even encourages immoral activity, try to operate in a moral and sustainable way themselves.

Why not buy online from an individual who grows their own ingredients and makes their own, ethical, net-zero produce? Or go to vendors at your local market?

Pretending that "they're all as bad as each other" helps absolutely nothing.

I have a Withings ScanWatch. Almost all of that (except for custom watchfaces, because it uses a physical watchface).

It also does the heart tracking and ECG stuff, but that matters to me because I have a heart condition that it can help track.

I had a quick look but didn't find anything. Do you have a source for this?

If I click on a link pointing to an item somewhere on the Fediverse, is there a way to make sure it opens through my Lemmy account?
