What a terrible tyranny of the majority problem that would be. I reject this idea completely

This could have been a revolutionary way of accessing the internet before Starlink. Grain elevators are everywhere in the US Midwest. Can’t believe it wasn’t capitalized on

You’d revolt? Against what?

If I could deploy Pegasus to randoms, I probably would. Wouldn’t do anything with it, but it’d be a cool project

“Rapid shutdown devices” do this. Microinverters have the same “grid is down, turn off” logic as a main inverter

Why not use something like alldata.com? Still not free , but much cheaper

It’s a good theory. My theory is, for whatever reason, jaded, narcissistic, miserable people congregate in r/AITA and try to drag other people into their misery because that’s easier than accepting responsibility and doing something to change.

Apple says Edinburgh to Skye is a 3.5 hour drive, mostly along the A9. My understanding is A roads in the UK are much like USA interstates. What makes the trip terrifying and slower than what Apple says?

I don’t fully understand why drone operators follow these laws. Or any “no-fly” rules in general. Around an airport, it seems like common sense to not fly. Can’t someone just…buy/build a drone and fly is surreptitiously?

Are you saying the Ukraine conflict is less bad than this Venezuela conflict?

But how often would your preferred candidate change compared to which / how much news you consumed? Most people I know are fairly set in their political opinions and already only consume news that confirms their biases

My kiddo is celebrating their second set of holidays this year. I have many friends who espouse some variant of “I don’t want to have kids because I don’t want to pass on my ‘messed up’ genes/the world doesn’t need more people/some other sad excuse”. It makes me wonder what their lives will look like then they’re 40-80 years old.

Why do people in your circle not like AI? I have similar a experience about friends and family not liking AI, but usually it’s due to water and energy reasons, not because of an issue with the model reasoning

Why not just point the door to the north if the goal was to keep the sun out?

How would cameras solve the punishment issue? Aren’t most schools still “zero tolerance” for physical violence?
