This mirrors my experience. Very significant increase in prolonged focus.

Except that the data leaked does not demonstrate that the Teslas are unsafe.

Safety testing has proven that Teslas are incredibly safe - probably some of the safest cars on the road. Both in crash tests and accidents per mile driven.

If someone is claiming that there is a safety issue despite the existing data, then yes, the burden of proof moves to them to validate their new claim.

The overall safety numbers for Teslas speak for themselves. Teslas are some of the safest cars to own.

Obviously these issues should be solved, but net-net, Teslas are very very safe.

I had a friend who worked in a place like this and he admitted that they regularly went through people's albums specifically to look for nudes/videos. Especially if it seemed to belong to a young woman. It was routine - to the point that looking for nudes became boring.

This feels like a limitation of our ability to have constructive conversations online.

Someone can be less than perfect and that can cause them to be victimized.

We should be able to talk about both aspects of this story, perhaps independently.

Some people want to discuss how the offender should be punished, and other people want to discuss how we can behave to prevent being victimized ourselves.

I don't think it's valid to argue that people discussing how to prevent victimization, are somehow "victim blaming".

The 1984 movie did a better job of efficiently explaining what was happening.

Two good examples are the pain box and the slow blade penetrate the shield in training.

While the new Dune movie mention how they work - they just do a bad job of communicating that as effectively as the 1984 movie. To really appreciate this movie, you either needed to have read the book, or watched the prior movie (1984), or the TV mini-series'.

They also introduced things from the book, like how to walk in sand, and the visions of the jihad, but describe them poorly, and leave the viewer wondering why they're even mentioned. It's just badly written.

...but there were other issues with the movie as well. Long useless sequences of sand visuals that added nothing to the story - and that annoying scream sound that left our eardrums ringing, for no other purpose than to try to make the audience feel like an uneventful scene is somehow important to the plot.

A lot of people complained about the voice-overs in the 1984 film but they actually added a lot of value by efficiently introducing concepts to the viewer succinctly - especially the intro in the beginning which sets up the universe.

The best take on this universe after the book is actually SciFi channel mini-series in 2000 and then the Children of Dune in 2008.
