In addition, there are plenty of kinds of information, technical or otherwise, that would be valuable for competitors like Tesla. Elon would be interested to know how production is going, how many employees are working each shift, what suppliers are making deliveries, how many cupholders they expect to put in each new model, etc. Corporate espionage is already a significant concern, and now the CIA works for the Nazi who owns Tesla.

So, empathy like I said.

Why do you value the technological advancement of the human race? How do you determine what is advancement, and what is regression?

Why place emphasis on satisfaction and aversion to harm? How do you determine the relative levels of satisfaction and harm except through empathy?

Yep, probably the correct term.

Or he didn’t, and oligarchs got away with assassinating a President. Does that change anything, though? We live in a world where either is possible.

That’s not really what the study concludes. This headline makes it sound like early humanity once all spoke a single mother language, and that’s simply not supported by any data. This study concludes that there is evidence of the capacity for language and the effects of complex communication that predates the shared genetic origin of modern humans. So early progenitors had the capacity for language and likely communicated before the first diaspora.

Grass fed doesn’t necessarily mean grazing. Capitalists gonna capitalize, so factory farms will buy grass grown elsewhere and stuff it into the cattle troughs with candy factory seconds and all the growth hormone they can legally ingest. If farmers clear cut old growth rainforests to grow grass feed because it takes more space to get the same output, then it’s very bad for the environment.

And of course the insurance rates for those cars skyrocketed. Some insurers wouldn’t provide insurance at all for Kia or Hyundai models that were vulnerable.

Same answer.

Nah, the probibitions against mixed fabrics, and who can be considered holy, and how to pray and to whom, all of those are edicts designed to exert control. It has nothing to do with morality.

Making them swappable would present design challenges, but nothing is impossible if it’s a design requirement. Current EVs distribute batteries wherever they can to distribute the weight and prevent damage from collisions or debris. But if they were required to be a certain form factor and removable, cars would be designed around that. Even better, you could get away with a much shorter range, because most people want higher capacity for the occasional long trip. You might have space for two cells, and only keep one in the car most days.

Can a soccer player hold a soccer ball in his hands?

Reminds me of the Kia and Hyundai challenge.

There’s going to be a whole shelf in future libraries dedicated to the books written about how bad this time period was for people. Assuming humanity survives, of course.

I can believe that, I just have never heard it before and would have assumed whoever said it was either lying or mistaken. It’s not a credible claim.

In the USA, there are a lot of negative connotations to the term, but the big one is the assumption that the child doesn’t have parents. An “orphan” is not the same as a homeless child. The kids in shelters and homes are more frequently runaways or kids with homeless, transient, impoverished, or incarcerated parents. It also implies that adoption is the goal, which is not the norm. Kids who are in the system above the age of 3 are almost never adopted by strangers. Shelters, homes, and foster care exist to raise the kids to adulthood. It’s not like an animal shelter where loving parents go pick out a child to adopt.

Obviously, those stigmas don’t translate to other languages, so your explanation makes perfect sense. I apologize for assuming you were in an English-speaking environment.

Sounds like a job for a federal program. Certify and inspect all batteries and connect every station to a central server. It would be a massive administrative task, but it would create a lot of commerce, jobs, and taxes from new sales.

I have never heard anyone claim grass fed beef is more environmentally conscious.

Anything is worth the cost when you aren’t the one paying the cost.

There’s no normal, and there never was.

Trump is doing exactly what the people who put him there want him to do. Imagine you wanted to rob a bank, and you managed to acheive the ability to unlease Godzilla on the city. He’ll knock the bank building down, opening the vault for you to plunder, and keep emergency services too busy to stop you. You could loot the entire city, and when it’s over, buy the decimated land for cheap and get the government to pay you to rebuild it. There’s literally no downside to you, because all the harm is done to other people.

… those who need the app…
