As a reminder for those unfamiliar with the degree of self-driving afforded by Waymo’s cars, the IIHS points out that they are certified as Level 4, which according to the automation scale created by SAE International, means the computer can do all the driving with no human supervision under certain conditions.

I’m sure they only compared to human drivers in the same conditions, right?

68% is not that great of an improvement in this context. They should be multiple times better with all the tech built in and the constant oversight.

That doesn’t make any sense as a statement. It sounds like you can’t force freedom on people, but yeah you can make them free without consent but I don’t get how that makes sense in this context.

Multiple countries show socialism works perfectly fine for essential and shared services and other things a society needs. It doesn’t work for everything, which is why so many countries are a blend of socialist public stuff like universal healthcare, free education, and those kinds of things whle still having capitalism in the firm of private for profit companies for non-essential stuff like restaurants and clothing stores.

Note that if the country has socialist in the name it probably isn’t actually socialist in practice.

They consented until they didn’t and that is their right!

Don’'t forget testing in production!

He is named after an amphibian.

“From my perspective it is democracy that is evil!”

True, there are probably even more senators who are guilty of misconduct in bathrooms and the ratio is even further apart.

God damn it.

Don’t give me hope.

Take a bow after a performance.

The US used to do that before the plastics industry (oil company derivatives) squashed it.

We are still in the first act, but well past the title card.

Vocal idiots rants are currently being turned into actions by the current dipshit in chief.

First off, humans are animals.

But since a transformation is involved then I’m gonna change into a dingo so everyone can blame the parents.

Username checks out.

And Shrek!

You are saying down voting is bad, yet you down vote more than me. You are a hypocrite, but I was trying to avoid saying it directly since people get butthurt about that kind of thing.

That is what I said, but apparently you can’t read and thought me pointing out your hypocrisy meant my view changed.

Go upvote more stuff and improve the fediverse.

I can’t explain something you made up.

My opinion is that people should vote however they want becsuse it does not hurt the fediverse, as long as each person votes once. That includes downvoting.

The ingredients are vegan. Apparently there was animal testing involving rats for an ingredient or something like that.

There is also an argument that expecting everyone to agree with and follow the unwritten rules of ‘voting correctly’ is just a vocal minority trying to impose their will on all users.

Generally I limit to subs but browse All occasionally to find new communities. Part of this process is upvoting and down voting stuff and seeing which communities has more stuff I want and less stuff I thought was worth downvoting. I then sub or block after that point.

That is how I notice spammed slop as part of blocking a community. No, I won’t be going back to remove down votes before blocking just because the community is about spamming slop and the posts fit the sub. Harm isn’t a down voting requirement.
