I’ve been asking why cars don’t have more obvious visual indicators since I was like 8 years old.

It’s pretty weird that we’re basically just working with 2 sets of lights and blinkers at this point.

For AV’s specifically, a pretty significant/obvious missed feature is some indicator that the car “sees” you. Pedestrians make eye contact with drivers to check if crossing is safe. How is there no equivalent for AV’s??? It’s such an obvious miss.

It’s okay. I’ve misspelled “peek” as “peak” multiple times in the last week.

English just be like that.

Lot of armchair philosophists disagreeing with you, but you’re right.

Sure, some people make art for art’s sake. But it doesn’t put food on the table. Like it or not, most popular media is created at least in part as a source of income for the creator.

It’s fine to pirate things if you actually can’t/wouldn’t otherwise engage with the media. But at least be honest with yourself and recognize that you’re stealing income from the creator.

It will also contradict itself and make the same mistakes even if you point them out.

Can be useful as a starting point, but you basically need to fact check everything it says.

Wait… am I an AI?

Might have to block this bot if it posts puff piece CEO bullshit under the guise of “technology.”

Anybody who has a skill they’re paid for?

Anybody who respects IP?

Anybody who can empathize?

Damn. This makes so much sense but is also so disheartening.

They had essentially a perfect product and a total monopoly over their market. Apparently, even that isn’t enough for some executives.

What’s even the point of trying to double or triple dip at that point? Maybe they made more money in the decade they got away with it, but the product is considerably worse than it used to be and now their dirty laundry is out in the open.

Shit’s depressing.

I hope you reconsider your stance cuz you’re making a lot of assumptions about people based on very limited information.

You do you, but throwing out applicants because you think they personally agree with everything their past employers have done is ridiculous.

The point is this is one sale of many.

Yes, hypothetically the CEO could influence the date an announcement is made for their own personal gain, but it’s not worth it and there will be many more sell events in the future.

Long run, trying to scheme an announcement to gain more at 1/100 sales isn’t worth it.

CEO John Riccitiello shifted 2000 shares last week on 6th September, … part of a trend over the past year where the exec has sold more than 50,000 shares in total and bought none.

This is a drop in his equity bucket and any gains this article implies are due to “insider trading” will disappear in subsequent events.

These stories are so dumb/intentionally misleading/outrage bait.

Executives have predefined stock sale schedules at regular intervals. This allows them to convert their equity to cash and avoid conflicts of interest. That is, it’s hard to gain an advantage over the market when you sell exactly the same amount every month for the next 4 years.

Where was everyone’s outrage the other 99% of times this guy sold exactly the same amount of stock?

That’s a B+! Fire all our engineers immediately.

Yeah this is straight up illegal. The FTC and EU don’t give a shit if this was “just a test” or “a whoopsie doopsie.”

Big ol’ fine incoming for every day this isn’t fixed.

You know you can buy literally the cars you wanted as a teenager right?

Staying on the BMW thread, you can get a mint E46 or E9X M3 for a fraction of the cost of the new ones. Just gotta find one where the owner has taken care of it and kept service records.

I mean I’ve never used either of those apps and my computer doesn’t even have a camera.

Sounds like textbook bloatware to me… 🤷‍♀️

FYI emojis work fine 🤷‍♀️

There’s a futurama episode like this except it’s an incredibly old man and and an incredibly fat woman who use stem cells to look young/fit again.

When the effects wear off they still get it on. So, maybe the black mirror episode will also have a happy ending too.
