Comment Why artists? (Score -1, Troll) 121

Why are 'artists' chosen? They haven't really worked a real day in their life yet. And who is called an artist? If I shit on a piece of paper and say that is art, am I an artist eligible for basic income? I already detest the 'art'world for calling many junk pieces art. Get a real job. How about giving basic income to people who already worked 5 days a week in low income jobs for many years instead of giving freeloaders money, let them first take over from those people. I too would love to get paid to do my hobby.

But then again, limiting yourself by that lind of thinking gets you nowhere. The problem with professors is they get paid to think and as long there is no available solution they are secure, so they will try to downplay anything they can. And we've also seen that many advances have come from people thinking outside the box and just doing it. By just getting the rockets to Mars will increase knowledge on practical problems and advances. And those advances actually help us too here on earth.

I don't see you being a billionaire.. And most of his projects are actually moneymaking. Cybertruck isn't a fail, but it aldo isn't a grand success. That's the problem with Musk haters, they keep saying the same crap over and over, not even looking into if what they say is actually true. Musk is a dreamer, he has visions and wants to pursue those dreams, and yeah, he is a lot of times too optimistic, but in the end his drive gets the companies there. And he might not officially be an engineer (as he hasn't the papers), he actually is involved in many of the engineering tasks and ideas, he's not just a salesman.

Comment Not enough info to judge (Score 1) 134

We don't have enough info to actually judge what happened in all those 25 situations or the situation where it hit a kid. Last I heard about a waymo taxi hitting a kid was when a kid ran into the road from behind a large vehicle and the taxi actually did a better job of trying to stop as most human drivers would have. Most people reading this article think of the situation where the bus is parked on the right side of the road, had all its lights on and the stopsign extenended, and the waymo taxi driving on the right side of the road from behind the bus. But there are more scenarios to think off in which the circumstances are a bit more muddled. Human drivers pass busses all the time ignoring the sign too. But, you would think, how hard is it to detect a schoolbus with lights in and a stopsign extended, so it should be an easy fix. Also we have no idea why Waymo declined avoiding school areas during bustimes, you can bet your ass they declined based on what a team of lawyers told them.
