I enjoy how this comment seems to counter what another commenter said about you.

It’s hardly a smear to point of a bias or perspective you hold. I’m not commenting on you, your politics, or worldview. Just pointing out that others should do their own research.

But if that is smearing in your perspective, and that makes me a ‘lib’, alright.

I agree with you. Disagreement in views isn’t a comment about an individual themselves.

That doesn’t change a pattern of posting and comments that are distinctly pro-Russian, pro-China.

Just be aware this poster is often posting pro-Russian, pro-China content. There’s value in other points of view and not being myopic, but if you pay attention to posting trends or look at their history, there is a clear bias and/or agenda.

It’s articles like this that make me glad there are numerous horses in the race.

Autonomous driving is an incredibly complex problem. We have people like Musk who thought they could throw money at the problem and have it solved in a few years, with disastrous results.

We’ve lost Uber, and Cruise is flagging. Both had been touted as examples to follow. Both have had some serious safety problems from moving too quickly and lacking caution.

Behind all of this is Waymo. Plodding along, gathering vast amounts of data and experience and iterating slowly.

I think they, out of all these players, understand the stakes at hand, and the potential profit on the other end. But you have to get it right. It has to be nearly perfect, because people need to trust it, and our emotions are fickle.

If you aren’t up on the acronyms: The Wolf Among Us 2.

The idea of the product is really great. The cost is prohibitive for all but major corporate customers.

Add in Google’s track record of killing products… just like this… and why would you invest?

Jamboard needs to be a tablet companion app first, and the hardware can follow. If they’re going to keep coming up with these halo products, then they need to support them for the long term. They also need to be willing to bite the bullet and give these away to lock people into Workspace because it’s unique and no one else does it.

Now it’s another reason to not buy in.

If you read through the stories that define them, it makes a lot more sense. Blood and sacrifice are intertwined with life and righteousness. God is holy and set apart, and can’t be in the presence of less – so their lives and habits are built around remaining in relationship to their God.

So the careful handling of death, food, and blood makes perfect sense from that worldview, whether you personally agree with it or not.

A wee bit aggressive there.

Read the rest of the thread. “I can’t boycott what I don’t use” is everywhere. A boycott is more than money, it’s getting the message out there, which was the intent of my post.

Whether you go to Starbucks or not is kind of irrelevant. The broader population needs to know how Starbucks is anti-worker. They are happy to take more money from the consumer, and push the “partner” narrative, but it falls apart when the partners want to be treated with dignity.

That’s a story everyone needs to hear before they spend $5+ on a drink.

It’s an interesting product of a western world that hasnt really seen war in 70 years. It’s always been far away.

We seek instant gratification, when in reality these are people’s lives. It should move slowly, especially against heavily mined positions. I’m wondering if we’ll see much progress until the F-16s enter the field to gain air support for the ground troops.
