  • I would say that it is more like a software company putting in their TOS that you cannot use their software to do a specific thing(s).
    Would be correct to sue the software company because a user violated the TOS ?

    I agree that what happened is tragic and that the answer by OpenAI is beyond stupid but in the end they are suing the owner of a technology for a uses misuse of said technology. Or should we sue also Wikipedia because someone looked up how to hang himself ?

    That’s like a gun company claiming using their weapons for robbery is a violation of terms of service.

    The gun company can rightfully say that what you do with your property is not their problem.

    But let’s make a less controversial example: do you think you can sue a fishing rods company because I use one of their rods to whip you ?






  • I am missing the connection between “release the files” and “make better politics”, especially because Kamala Harris was already in a position where she could have done something (she was Biden’s vice, let’s not forget it).

    What make you think that after 4 years as Vice president, doing basically nothing and being aknowleged as the worst one, she would have been better as President ? Just because she could have released the Epstein’s files ? Do you relly thing that there are only Republican’s names in these files ?



  • They can’t see if there is a cyclist or if someone wants to cross at the intersection. And that is one cause of all those deadly accidents while turning.

    To a car on the street, even a smaller car parked where it should not be is a problem. Most cars (every type) are generally higher than a pedestrian and if not higher you see only the head of the pedestrian or nothing much more. There is a reason you cannot (by roads law) park too near to crossroad, and the rules is way older than the first SUV’s.

    What it is true is that it is said that a higher front of a car is more dangerous to the pedestrian but I really don’t understand the reason: being it by a 1.5/2.0 tons car is devastating anyway. I don’t belive that being able to roll over the car (and land where and how ?) is really better and a lower car’s front could end with the pedestrian head to hit violently the car hood and/or windshield.


  • Kamala was not worse for billionaires.

    Maybe. But she was certainly worse than any other possible candidate the Democrats could have choosen. I mean, she was the worst vice-president in history (if the polls were right), got less than 1000 votes in the party’s primaries elections and was embarassing during the TV debetes. How the Democrats thought she could win ? Just because she is a black woman ? It seems too little.

    They could have published the Epstein stuff and Trump would have been silenced. Publishing the dirt now stresses that Trump was wanted. Either there is no Russian influence or it does not matter.

    Yeah, and to a person that has no work and now work perspective the release of the Epstein help how ?
    Don’t get me wrong, what Epstein did was awful and every accomplice should be punished but it was not the biggest problem people had/have.


  • I said the other side, not between the Republicans.

    Now, obviously Republicans could have pushed for another better candidate, like the Democrats could have done, but the point is that they had to choose between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and we know the result.

    As I said elsewhere, this time it is not that the Republicans did everything right, but the Democrats did everything wrong, starting with who they choose (which, by the way, got less than 1000 votes in the party primaries for example).

    No, no updates needed unless I encounter a bug or they add a new feature I really want.

    Fine, but maybe the update fix a bug that hit other users and that still not have hit you, be it for sheer luck or any other reason.



  • That’s exactly what I wanted to say: 30 is one of the most common speeds in the EU. They are not new and have been around since the 70s/80s.

    As far as I know, the city speed limit is 50 km/h for a very long time. In the 199x, when I got my driver license it was it, the push for the 30 km/h limit is a relatively new thing, maybe last 5 years. Not to say that before there where not some 30 km/h zones in cities, but the default in every urban center (small or big) is/was 50.

    Cities are pushing for 30 as a default speed.

    Now yes, but is a relatively recent thing, and only for big cities.

    You have thousands and thousands of kilometres of residential streets with T30. If you do not optimize for that as a manufacturer, you shouldn’t build cars.

    Italy currently has an estimated total 2700 km of 30 km/h residential streets. My city alone (Milan) has about 58.0000 km of streets (only residential streets, the total is way higher).
    Maybe manufacturer are not that dumb if they do not optimize the engine for the equivalent of the (less then) 5% of the streets of just one city in a state.

    And I suppose that other states are in a somewhat similar situation.
