The way its built requires no human operational cost.

I am private beta testing an app that does exactly what is described.

Yeah, justice is only for black people and scummy minorities. He broke the law and committed felonies. It's definitely for him.

Historically, soldiers have generally been reluctant to use their weapons. During WWII, around 20% of soldiers actually fired their weapons in combat. Even fewer shot to kill often aiming over the heads of the enemy. This is a form of posturing both to the enemy and their comrades. Through extensive use of conditioning, that rate and lethality of fire was raised during Vietnam and subsequent wars.

Even among tribal societies, warfare is highly ritualized in a manner that does not optimize for maximum lethality. Richard Gabriel, in studies on tribal societies in New Guinea have noted that hunts occurred with accurate feathered. Tellingly, tribal warfare employed featherless arrows. Similarly "counting coup" among American Indians involves touching rather than killing the enemy.

Cold blooded killers have their uses for society, especially in warfare. An excellent book on this subject is On Killing.

As well as financing the construction of municipal infrastructure. Get over yourself.

Building a marketing center out on a barge makes no sense.

Personally, I'm deeply satisfied Elon Musk stood up for first principles reasoning and rejected all the niceties of socially created reality.

I've always hated Ayn Rand's writing but he's probably the closest thing to a Galt-like hero.

Driving back and forth in front of the damn charger speaks for itself.

Straws. You maybe holding some.

EDIT: Two words. Occam's Razor. Your explanation is so tangled that an entire battalion of Viet Cong could hide in it.

I challenge you to drink a glass of gasoline.

I'm aware that many systemic problems require multiple people to resolve as your incredibly insightful comment notes.

This post however, is complaining for the sake of complaining. I for one do not rail against the Second Law of Thermodynamics for destroying my beautiful perpetual motion machine ideas.

Similarly, offering vague pablums on the state of business in Silicon Valley without real solutions is at best indulgent.

If it's such a huge problem why don't you go fix it?

Or are you volunteering other peoples time?

It's odd that any mention of Elon Musk colonizing Mars results in rapturous worship.

Other efforts, China in particular, seem to attract scorn. Especially in light of the fact that Elon Musk's original plan was to send a greenhouse with plants to Mars.

Perhaps I over-estimate the HN crowd.

You're seriously suggesting affirmative action leads to social ills?

I'd also suggest you avoid hospitals because they cause cancer.

African Americans constitute 15% of America.

White Americans constitute 74% of America.

Thus African Americans are more than twice as likely to live under the poverty line. Those are not I odds I would like to gamble with had I been born black.

You won a lottery when you were born.
