Oh fuck off already! This place is full of idiots, that I am not banned already is an insult to me.

Devil is much better. It just wants us to sin. And it won't do nothing if we don't sin. Capitalism is much worse. It asks us to pay. It ask us to work. And if you don't yield, you are pretty much doomed, right here on earth. That is not even going into the fact the it poisons the waters and skies and ruin it for all living things....

> I worked at Hyperloop One for a time,

You just lost your credibility.

To be clear, I am not villainous capitalism. It is just an observation. One such as, "predators will single out and target the weak prey".

I was trying to make it clear that people involved here are often helpless due to the pressures inherent in capitalism. I think when you start accepting investments, then you are even more helpless. But one the other hand, it helps one to justify any "evil" by delegating the blame to the investors, and how "we" have to protect "their" interests, so "we" are forced to do this bad thing.

The investors are often completely oblivious to the fact, and they too are blameless. So where does the blame really lie?

Capitalism will try to exploit every human weakness.

If we have a population of people who are not aware of the intricacies involved in self driving, and the current technical state of the art, it is pretty clear there would be entities who would capitalize on it, by claiming to have implemented self driving.

Now, the way they does is saying stuff that actually does not make that claim, but in effect projects it. So right now, we have Tesla people saying "We will start shipping full self driving features by august". And without no clear understanding of what comprises of "full self driving features", the stocks rise. Seriously, it is used everywhere. When a toilet cleaner that claims to kill 99.99% of bacteria, they are doing the same. They project a claim that is very hard to nullify. But that does not prevent it from boosting the sales.

Car companies are particularly at fault because what they are doing can be dangerous to the users.

In other words, it is just something that you think. mm. Thought so.

Apart from this, our brains (actually brains of all things that have to hunt/be hunted) are extremely good at detecting motion, especially at the peripherals. This makes us extremely good at detecting stuff like a pedestrian who is about to cross the road, or an incoming vehicle from a junction...

I mean, we could be focusing 100% on the road ahead, and can still respond to peripheral events lightning fast..

I think this is why a lack of sleep can quite adversely affect driving. It seems that if you haven't slept well. the "behind the scene" processing takes a hit, which greatly impacts driving capability..

Have you used Elm and if yes, what do you think about it. As far as I have seen, it blows everything out of the water for me. It feels a bit weird at first, and It may not be just there yet in terms of features, but the paradigm is solid.

>It was thought that..

Do you have a citation for that?

>because they very specifically claimed that doing it at all was flat out technically impossible

They claimed what was technically impossible?

> But now we have an 80% reusable orbital launch system and he’s working hard on the other 20%.

Has the reused items proven reliable and profitable in he long run, which was the only reason others were not doing the same...

Not sure. Did finishing in 1/10th time part of the contract? If not, then it we can think of the '10 times faster' claim to be bullshit which was only meant to win the bid...

Sorry. Cars have a slightly more potential to kill than bras and vending machines and people dying of natural causes..
