sounds like you might benefit from a tutorial!

but not universally. oil refineries were causing asthma and environmental degradation.

them moving to another state is a regulatory failure (they shouldn't have another jurisdiction to move to, they should just operate without imposing negative externalities on others, spelling of the refineries).

what value is clean air? what is the value of a human life? how much is your attention worth?

these are questions that capitalism should not answer, but will nevertheless try to.


Socialist economies are much more environmentally destructive, because they are so inefficient they cannot afford the luxury of being environmentally cleaner.

that's sad.

my neighbors are wonderful and i like chatting to them.

are you the bad neighbor?


Yes. Not interacting with neighbors is something that can happen naturally, but working hard to not is an entirely different thing.

Knowing your neighbors is a good thing. Even if it's just a friendly hi. You don't have to hang out, but if there's ever something you need like "did I leave the sprinkler on" or "did I leave the stove on" or "borrow a cup of sugar", it helps being on speaking terms with a neighbor rather than your first interaction with them is because you need something.

Caveat being that you live next door to Epstein or similar where not knowing them will be beneficial when the police come asking questions.


that's a good way to frame it, but it boils down to: what is it that these entities or individuals do that is valuable and how do you replicate parts or the whole of it.

which is essentially the direction that were heading in: we're sequentially and iteratively building improvements.

what the logistics company did pre computers and even pre trucks was not all that different in many aspects.

the future will be via evolution not revolution.


can you share what vehicle that is? i don't know why you wouldn't just name it in the post...

Looks like it's the F-150 Lightning. https://qht.co/item?id=47421383

I chalk it up to poorly designed software from a company where software isn't the core competency, rather than blaming the basic concept of putting software in a vehicle.

"Bad software is bad" doesn't have the same ring though...


I think in this case the point being made is "bad software makes the whole product bad", not just "bad software is bad".

Its similar to how bad brakes or a roof prone to leaking makes the whole car a bad car. The "weakest link" undermines the whole system.

> software isn't the core competency

Software is a essential part of modern cars, remove the software and they don't function (or in some cases are not allowed on the road). The car manufacturers "core competency" is making cars so I would argue that software is definitely a "core competency" of a modern car manufacturer.


I agree it ruins the whole product.

I also agree traditional car manufacturers should have software as a core competency, but instead they're notoriously terrible at writing software.


i thought Sinners was so overhyped. mediocre performances (great music!) and a terrible plot (why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter, and then able to storm the building a few scenes later? was there no better way to resolve that then just forget about it)

loved OBAA (incredible pacing!) but had its flaws too


> why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter

Part of well established lore.

> and then able to storm the building a few scenes later?

Because the wife who just saw her husband killed invited them in because she wanted revenge.


> Doesn't pay attention to plot

> Claims plot is terrible

People who complain about aspects about movies they didn't like should all be as forthright as GP in explaining why exactly they didn't like that aspect, so I can decide whether to entirely disregard the opinion.


>terrible plot (why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter, and then able to storm the building a few scenes later?

Imagine dinging an Oscar-winning film's plot this loudly, and being absolutely wrong about something easily verifiable.

The shopkeeper's wife (Grace, played by Li Jun Li) freaks out and explicitly invites them all in.

If I was this offbase with a comment, I'd delete my whole account.

IOW, I quote your own comment history: "how does it feel to be misinformed yet opinionated?"


arguing on hn


fwiw i share the same interpretation as the other commenter.
