It’s not an issue with limitations of current technology. In some cases it’s just greed and laziness. I’ve had two vehicles that have the ability to be more friendly to other drivers, but that functionality is only enabled outside of the U.S. (matrix headlights or the equivalent).
GM vehicles had been notorious for having poorly adjusted headlights from the factory. The fact that Xenon systems seemed to always come with auto leveling and LED often does not is crazy.
The difference is the 100x the cost to build it and the completely different amounts of foot traffic and margins available in dense city centers. Nobody is going to build such a store if their return on investment is expected 50-100 years down the road.
+1, it had a bad period when they were hyperscaling up, but IME they've found their pace (very) recently - I almost ditched cursor in the summer, but am a quite happy user now.
The man was prosecuted and the jury found him not guilty.
I would be curious to know what their reasoning was.
I think mine would be that since these agents seem to face absolutely no consequences for their far more egregious actions. Why should something so minor result in jail time. To be clear, I’m not talking about their lawful actions. I’m talking about them assaulting and abusing people and excessive use of force that’s been captured on camera all across the country.
This has been a pattern with these petty prosecutions. It seems like video that shows they embellished / lied comes out time and again. A number of protests have had a series of charges dropped when video showed they were lying about the events.
Fair question. The jury in this case decided it wasn’t assault.
My hypothesis is that people generally feel that police face little to no accountability and so there is a more serious double standard to contend with.
Yeah no I don’t think intelligence works like that.
There’s not some core reasoning engine in your brain that is independent of your knowledge. The two are intertwined.
Some people are better at reasoning about politics vs maths, for example, because they have both the knowledge, skills, and experience to understood how such systems work vs a mathematician who does not.
