Governments are supposed to correct market failures. When a technology has a trajectory to be an eventual winner but faces short-term obstacles that the market isn't handling, that's an appropriate time for government to step in.
I need to get my readers, I'm just NOT seeing it....
If 30 seems safe to him, who should argue?
Then he needs to get the fuck OFF the highway and drive regular roads with lower speed limits....until he can earn his "big boy pants" and learn to drive at highway speeds with the adults.
If you can't hack it, then you don't belong there impeding other people with the proper driving skills.
Bus-only lanes reduce capacity for cars, which makes cars travel slower and if the buses have to interact with the cars (e.g. changing lanes or turning) then they also get stuck in the congestions created by the bus lanes. The Transport Research Lab in the UK found this was happening there decades ago.
Bus lanes are all about making life worse for drivers so they'll switch to buses, but in reality typically just make things worse for everyone.
> A highway has more capacity at moderate speeds than at high ones, because you need less space between vehicles.
Not really true. The generally-accepted safe separation is two seconds, and to a first approximation that means the maximum capacity of a highway lane is 1800 cars per hour, regardless of speed.
In reality, people will bunch up at lower speeds and typically leave more space at higher speeds, but in principle speed makes no difference to the safe carrying capacity.
TEMU Hospital....
Today on Temu Hospital we see Dr. Nick.......
You don't have to be all over your partner(s) all the time to result in a childbirth.
It certainly HELPS!!!
Geez, then I was a teen (way before cell phones and internet).....my girlfriend and I were fucking constantly, basically any time opportunity presented itself.
This was the "norm" for most of my peers in my HS years....
So if not cell phones and social media....what's the explanation for such a drastic change?
Declining population is solved rather easy. You just open a border here and there.
And then, you lose your country....the culture is lost, what makes your country YOUR country....disappears.
And if that's the fate.....I'd rather have it die slowly of population decline than see it evaporate and become unrecognizable in my lifetime .
and irrelevant to the future?
Do real people ACTUALLY think that way?!?!?
I mean, once I'm dead and in the ground, I don't give a flying fuck what the 'future' holds for earth....I won't be here and I won't know anything about it.
That's why I'm all for having as much fun and enjoyable life experiences while I'm above ground and processing oxygen.
Those in the future? I dont give a fuck....why should it?
You're assuming those plans actually cover the costs. In reality they keep increasing the costs because the plans don't cover them.
A friend saw his bill increase by 10x in the most recent price increases on the AI system he uses. Rather than paying more, he uses it less.
It doesn't need to work. It just needs to get them through the IPO so the investors can cash out.
Government has a role in helping a new technology reach economies of scale
Governments are (supposed to be) first and FOREMOST answerable to the people and acting at their bidding...not the other way around.
So, the govt is not there to try to force or guide the people any one way....or the other.
I hear they're still hiring at the Kwik-E-Mart.....
Yes. I don't think future is huge AI Gods that can do anything (but often do it poorly or wrong) but small specialized models which can do one thing well.
But most of those specialized models will run locally and kill the market for all those massive AI data centres they want to build. Unless they manage to kill local computing by buying up all the hardware.
