Q

This comment does not align with the hacker news guidelines. Pretty weak response.

The fact you had to stoop to personal attacks tells me you are not that confident in your position. You can downvote with your alt accounts but that doesn’t change the facts here.

Did you get a good job after getting that degree?

You are correct. The fossil fuel industry will fund anyone who will take their money and push their greedy agenda. The difference in the republicans are normally the only ones who will stoop that low to sell out future generations for power today. That’s why no one cares about your false equivalency.

Well you certainly sound _incredibly_ gifted and it’s truly a shame you pushed through a CS degree that was clearly beneath you. Any reason you didn’t change course once you clearly evaluated college was not for you?

A blog post referencing another blog post doesn’t seem to rise to the level of total disregard for the original study. But maybe we can try Wikipedia again.

Care to provide some sources for these wild statements? Got an AP article where they use that as her name? Maybe we just have a different definition of credible news sources.

> they just stop if they ever encounter a situation where they don’t know what to do.

Oh my god that’s terrifying if true. I can think of many situations when driving when slamming on the breaks is the absolute wrong choice. Tesla is pushing this out way before it’s safe enough to operate in public.

This article details plans pushed specifically by a single party.

Sounds like it may be closer to ‘git commit —fixup HEAD’ but same idea.

Two edits and you hand waved away the point about CEO compensation? oof. Governments and private businesses have the same problems since they are both made up of imperfect humans. The government has the great oversight mechanism that private businesses don’t which is called voting, which is why I think it takes the cake here.

I never said that the government should never use private contractors (always need janitorial services), but when tax dollars are being used to fund technology and research, the government should never cede ownership of those outputs to private business.

That’s an odd take, I never said people should not be paid a living wage for their contributions to the country. However, when was the last time the government authorized a multibillion dollar pay package for a single worker? The government doesn’t have stock buy backs, they don’t have dividends to pay out. That is where private business greed comes in and has no place in public government work. That kind bloat is what I am highlighting in private business.

What are some private contracts which do not contain the bloat of private profit?

So private contractors are unreliable for a variety of reasons? We should get all of this private bloat out of the government.
