>Real spaceships do not and will not have humans in the control loop except to specify a destination or target.

Jim Lovell would like a word.

>Can a human be found liable for this?

A father in Georgia was just convicted of second degree murder, child cruelty, and other charges because he failed to prevent his kid from shooting up his school.

They were probably close friends because they weren't business competitors.

Until the Heritage Foundation succeeds in dismantling Wikipedia.

>They're trying to provide an alternative to normal invite system - one that's been established and battle-tested over decades, one that works okay-ish across any device, real or virtual, on any platform, and one that people know how to use.

And if the people who try Invites discover that it isn't, in fact, superior to this "normal invite system"—whatever you believe it to be—that you claim is "established and battle-tested," they won't continue using it and will go back to what they were doing before.

>An alternative that gives some bells and whistles exclusively to the Apple users, and perhaps even is more ergonomic in practice.

Do you believe that all vendors should be forbidden from shipping any new application or feature that doesn't offer full interoperability and feature parity with everybody else or is that a limitation you believe should be applied only to Apple?

>Opinions regarding masking mandates and criticizing COVID-19 response in general, for example.

So they were cracking down on people spreading dangerous disinformation in the middle of a public health emergency. Okay.

What are some others?

Yes, that was rather my point.

>Before Musk takeover certain opinions just weren't present and/or were actively silenced.

Care to provide some examples of "certain opinions" that were "actively silenced?"

>They can make stuff up, but saying "60% of the time they lie to you" hasn't been true for years.

If you're using them to fill knowledge gaps, what scaffolding have you set up to ensure that those gaps aren't being filled with incorrect-but-plausible-sounding information?

> I'm curious about the rationale behind this choice when nuclear power seems like a far superior option. Can someone shed light on this decision?

India’s plutonium has already been spoken for.

The economics of higher education in the United States are definitely ripe for reform—especially for public institutions—but I think we have much better places to be looking for ideas than the health insurance industry.

>That Patreon is even considering keeping the app is proof of this.

No, that Patreon is "even considering" keeping the app is evidence that they get more valuable information about users and their habits from the app than they could from a website.

> You could level similarly-contrived criticisms against humans where machines could do better too.

You’re not even going to build an actual strawman before claiming to have knocked it down?

>that's why it all over the place.

The last sentence explains why it's all over the place quite succinctly.

>Plus a very expensive (relatively) subscription. I loved Dark Sky because I bought it and then I had it.

Ongoing customer value (hyper-local precipitation forecasts) that has ongoing costs for the developer (weather data) is unsustainable without ongoing revenue (subscriptions). This may have had a thing or two to do with Dark Sky ending in an acquihire.
