Turnout is not a binary thing. What he wrote about Palestinians is horrifying enough that a lot of younger voters and Arab voters would stay home and refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils.

I'm not opposing the research, I'm opposing the implementation. Spending trillions of dollars because >1% of the population would be inconvenienced as you showed by having to use less developed or more expensive alternative is stupid.

Investing trillions of dollars into dead ends is, however, the enemy of progress. The ressources we're throwing at replacing existing cars with EV cars would be enough to implement better solutions.

Yes! And you know what, at that point, given the size of a minimum viable car, we could use some kind of algorithm to match people that are going similar places, and put them together to be more efficient. And I bet we'd find that a lot of the large scale transit patterns are common large parts of the population, so we could even use some kind of segregated, higher speed, more frequent vehicle for that.

While we're at it, we might as well just warehouse some of these vehicles around places where the common cores end and start, and then we would only have to match one end of the trip.

Oh wait, we already have those in operation in China: https://m.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=wvNOTZZeYVs

Yes, it is, but until the fireball is smaller than a pixel, you will see a reduction in the number of pixels illuminated, and then a reduction in exposure. And I'd wager that for a sizeable bomb it will take a while for that reduction in exposure to mean you stop clipping the sensor, especially at night with the ISO dialed up.

Nah you can't, they'll be bright enough to saturate the sensor.

If your goal is to hurt high finance then anticapitalist theories are correct, not salafism.

And of course it didn't mean nothing, it was a terrorist attack. It just wasn't any kind of remotely effective attack against finance or some bullshit like that, it was just an attack against the tallest building because what else would you attack with a plane. I'm not the one giving it meaning that the authors of the attack never gave it.

You can buy roblox cards in the street, so actually they do

The goal is that now that they've been caught pirating lyrics, they have to pay MusixMatch for their lyrics, perhaps on a per request basis, so they lose money by making it available.

Interceptors are more difficult to make than the missiles themselves, and often are more expensive. They also don't have 100% interception chance so you need to fire 2-4 just to be sure.

I guess it also depends on where, places that get less applicants are probably much more likely to answer back.

It's good because you can use it to cut through the corporate bullshit, it's bad because the people most active in it are prestige and money obsessed freaks. If you make a post without stating how much money you make 90% of your replies will be about that.

On the other hand it's saved me from multiple very very bad decisions, so it's good in that sense. It would be cool if it was more generalized and wasn't just for programmers/salespeople/project managers/quants.
