I mean, I would assume that someone who doesn’t get a new enough car doesn’t have enough money to pay for commercial insurance. Also offering people rides on the street is a bad idea (because you can get robbed) and possibly illegal. This is just running an unlicensed taxi service. Gypsy cabs have been around for hundreds of years. It’s not a good idea.
That’s a terrible idea. His insurance won’t cover him in an accident. If a passenger is injured he may be on the hook for the medical care.
JFK is not considered one of the best. He didn’t even have a full term, so there’s no way to know. People liked him because he was young and handsome and died that way.
He started the Vietnam War. His only real test was the Cuban Missile Crisis. He did adopt Keynesianism economic policies (over more classical policies) and proposed the bill that became the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Those are all important, but he honestly wasn’t in office long enough to do much.
And besides, like you said he was 43, not 35. AOC would not be able to do anything because she doesn’t have the relationships yet. Good presidents don’t come from the House of Representatives. They come from the Senate (JFK, Obama), Governors (FDR), or Vice Presidents (Harris).
Honestly, 35 is too young to be president. 40 to 60 is probably the sweet spot. Make the upper limit 65 or 70 (but start negotiating at 60).
Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple’s iOS. Android is much more customizable.
If they said “these fortunes are real and will come true” they would be liable for fraud.
Microsoft’s argument that they are not liable must include the idea that their Copilot AI is not expected to deliver true statements in its summaries. That’s clearly not what the purpose of the summary is.
You made the comparison between one person and a million. I quote:
We remember Eisenhower, not the millions who died
We do remember those people… there’s a huge WWII memorial in DC and memorials around the country. The Korean War has a great memorial in DC too, great statues.
Dwight Eisenhower apparently has a small memorial as well. I had to look it up to find it. The first review says:
We just happened to find this memorial while waiting for our timed entry into the Air and Space Museum.
So, who is remembered more?
Plus, as soon as the cars can drive themselves people will stop needing Uber in many cases.
No parking? Just tell your car to go park on a street 10 blocks away.
Drunk? Car drives itself while you sleep.
Going to the airport? Car drops you off and returns home. Car also picks you up when you are back.
This is combined with the fact that people will do more disgusting things in an Uber without the driver there. If you have ever driven for Uber, you know that 10% of people are trying to eat or drink in the car. They are going to spill and it’s going to end up like the back of a bus.
Uh, the man was possessed and put the entire Enterprise at the mercy of an alien race. That’s at least first officer material.
These people are all very successful. The main problem would be getting them to work together. If anything, this would be the luckiest ship in the fleet. At least 8/9 of them have major plot armor. This ship would be like Gilligan’s Island in space.
It’s not just that. People fought duels over their honor in the past. We don’t have duels anymore, so we shouldn’t rely on a judge to recuse themselves.
It is a founding concept of European law that no one should be a judge in their own case:
I think in one sense it can be good. Sometimes it is counterproductive to downvote someone from 1 to 0. I think this would prevent that, as the first downvote is probably the most important one.
But I agree that making any data public will allow everyone to be categorized easily. “This person dislikes this content and likes other content.”
Remember, you are giving this info to everyone. Mark Zuckerberg will be able to see what you like and dislike in all public votes.
This shows that Hamas was more interested in being warlords than the actual business of governing. Just like the Israeli government is more interested in conquering a tiny bit of bombed out desert than actually living in peace.
Both sides are clearly led by pieces of shit. Israel has a democracy though, so they are choosing to be led by pieces of shit. Palestinians might have some shitty beliefs about Jewish people, but they don’t have a voice in their government.
Literally no country actually cares about Palestinians. Iran and their proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, Syria) just want to be warlords. Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia just want to distract their domestic audience. Europe is just going to wring their hands and hope the killing stops.
America is actually the biggest force for peace in the region. All of these were signed in Washington DC (or nearby at Camp David):

The thing is, it’s not even necessary to be this drastic. Feel free to start negotiating from this point (tax all wealth above $50 million) but even settling for a 2% tax on wealth above $1 billion would be good. You can ease into it with a 1% tax on wealth above $100 million.
This wouldn’t really affect the living standard of anyone wealthy enough to be taxed. Interest on invested assets will pay the tax easily. That’s what Biden meant by “nothing will fundamentally change” for the wealthy.
If you have $1 billion you will probably be living off of $40 million in interest per year. A 1% tax would mean $9 million of that is taken as wealth tax (plus there will be some other income or capital gains tax). You will be fine.
Till said her daughter was sleepy during the Tuesday court visit because the family doesn’t have a permanent residence.
The teen was seeing King’s court as part of a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, an environmental group.
Uh… so this child is almost homeless and is donating their time to help the community. Clearly this judge is very bad at judging people.
Uh, that guy actually did steal literal IP. Uber was founded by an asshole who didn’t care about breaking the law.
six weeks before his resignation, Levandowski downloaded all these highly confidential files and proprietary design files
It happens all the time. Almost everyone who starts a new tech company has worked in a different one.
In California it’s totally fine. That’s why there’s so many tech startups there. It’s not taxes.
Yes you do. Your bank account is in the old business’s name, and any lines of credit you have will be in that business’s name as well. Doing anything for a new business is harder than for an established one. Once you explain “oh yeah I did own that one, I just changed the name for tax purposes” you sound like a scammer.
Banks and suppliers (good ones) are not going to waste their time figuring out your scheme. They will just drop you.
