How do you sleep at night?

You do realize that you are just re-implementing 10-15 year old tech without the quality control, well-defined limitations and user experience research that made these driver assists actually work?

And then top of of that, you're calling your amateur-hour driving assists "a self-driving car". How the hell do any of you even have have a driver's license, still?

The value of being a part of NATO seems at best fluid with the current US president. That means that your NATO membership might not be as valuable as you thought it was. I'd even go to say as far as saying that Denmark and Norway are being complacent in case they depend on the US for reinforcements - with Trump at the helm.

On the other hand we all know that Trump will be gone by the next US election.

(Besides the current context I am incredibly frustrated with Sweden's unwillingness to join NATO. And just when were gaining some momentum to join, Trump goes and does his thing.)

So-so. I watched it. Enjoyed parts. Mostly cringed through it.

But just like the Danish/Swedish Netflix series "The Rain" in a similar genre the writing was painfully bad at times - I think this is what stopped it from being popular.

I guess this solidifies the more and more common view that Apple's thought leadership is something from the past.

A few years ago, the messaging was along the lines of "just wait, this will just be a temporary pain - Apple is just being brave and taking the industry leader role as usual".

It would be super neat if anyone of the people who downvoted that could comment on... you know, why?

Please don't be so 1-dimensional.

That Nobel Peace Prize for Obama was just so wrong. It was a Norwegian (Not Swedish) small celebrity/exposure hungry group of elderly people who abused the power of the brand for their personal gain.

(Liberal-minded americans downvoting this: please think twice. Not everything that seems to go against your instincts is downvote-worthy if you don't know the details. In this case the details matter.)

Very well put. It's important that we recognize the history that led us to where we are, even if it's not a super beautiful history.

I remember this particular period relatively clearly. There was intense debate everywhere, it was the most polarizing issue for a very, very long time. I was on the dove-side of the debate. I remember having some extremely heated debates with "hawks" (all online - these hawks somehow just disappeared after the invasion when it it got more and more obvious that there actually were no WMDs...).

IBM built some very nice plumbing for NVidia GPUs? :-)

> The flags outweighed the upvotes.

Are you saying there were more flags than upvotes and that this is the trigger for the non-linear movement to page 3?

Ok, in plain words, please try to justify why a gaggle of XYZ lang devs should be able to effectively silence a topic they think goes against their personal agenda by pressing the "flag" link once per user?

I don't to see how this kind of binary treshold-based flagging makes any sense in a healthy discussion environment. I've seen it being abused so many times now.

I disagree. I think lots of valuable stories are being buried by organized niche interests. I hope to be able expose some of this.
