Anyone pushing a full doomer view is trying to suppress you.

This is so stupid. Can’t we just be really fucking discouraged because the reality of the situation is mind-bogglingly grim?

I wish they could just know how grateful we are :(

What you just wrote would be a red flag for me.

uhh ok

Where did you hear that they’ve been having trouble securing larger contracts?

Imagine the outrage, though… exceptionalism only works in one direction.

Often. :(

I think this may have even been done with a major Attenborough documentary, which is …

As with everything we do, there is a subjective element to setting limits, but it’s definitely not as arbitrary as you are suggesting. Maybe they reduced one limit because there were too many accidents, and maybe they increased the other because they finally got the signal pattern working as intended.

Risk assessment is incredibly complex. It might be perfectly reasonable to drive 110km/h on a given road most of the time, but frequent use by large farm equipment could necessitate a lower speed. Or, maybe adjusting traffic on road x decreases accidents on road y.

We are still learning how to produce vehicles that reliably compensate for variables like friction, or human reaction time. The implications of even these two simple things seem to be completely lost on most drivers: with a tiny bit of rubber touching the asphalt, we happily drive around in inconceivably heavy vehicles at rates where it’s very easy for an event to begin and end before we even suspect something is imminent.

While I’m here: turn your lights on when you start your car, turn into your own fucking lane, always move over if someone is behind you in the fast lane even if you think you’re going “fast enough” (someone could be bleeding out, seriously), don’t pass people on the wrong side, and finally: stop trusting the meat in your head so much, our brains fuck up all the time, so in addition to driving defensively wrt external factors, consider how you can set yourself up to succeed if something unexpected happens internally.

Definitely wired for more serious listening and important calls.

I see a lot of people talking about latency - I am generally very sensitive to this, but I think Apple gets the delay down pretty low with AirPods.

I have another complaint, though: the Bluetooth spec doesn’t allow for enough bandwidth to simultaneously send and receive audio at proper bitrates, so any time you are doing both, it dramatically reduces the quality of both. This means if you are using Bluetooth for anything better than PSTN calls, you sound like shit.

Also, the microphones in AirPods make this so much worse by emphasizing sounds of anything you are doing - if you wash dishes or crumple a bag or basically anything, even if it seems relatively quiet for you, there is a good chance it will be loud as fuck for the other person.

Again, nobody can force you to stay on topic, but responses comprised of random, tangentially related shit will never be particularly compelling.

First commenter: Microsoft is worried about the threat Linux poses to Windows.

Second commenter: No they aren’t, look at usage stats.

You: Guys, I’ll have you know that a lot of people liking something doesn’t necessarily mean it is better.

You might want to consider improving your understanding of this a little bit before dropping it in the chat.

haha what

By failing to demonstrate how you are correct? I guess…

No. That’s stupid. “Apparently” implies I don’t think so i.e. “the crowd [except me] seems to think”. Please do better before you get sanctimonious with me.

This is the dumbest exchange I’ve had on lemmy, I want my money back.

Fuck off, I was criticizing the idiots downvoting you.

Wow, apparently this one is offensive.

You’re right, we probably should’ve noticed sooner.

I’m just so amused by your inclusion of ‘hopefully’ in that sentence… hard to know what to expect when the whole world is a bit
