Freeing up a bus operator to handle safety issues, encourage fare enforcement, and assist with accessibility needs would be great for many lines.
Like how trams in Amsterdam have an attendant at the back who only handles those issues, rather than driving the tram.

I hope there’s room for AVs when they’re big
Autonomous trains and busses are probably fine, right?

That’s what I’m saying; since we already tax other assets (like houses), even if they aren’t liquid, I don’t see a difference in taxing unrealized capital gains.
Especially since you can use both your house and unrealized capital gains as collateral for a loan.

If you can use it as collateral for untaxed borrowing, shouldn’t it be taxed, just like any other asset you can borrow against?

At least it seems like it makes sense.
“Part of it – 5% was the figure given, though she now says that was only an approximation – was written using artificial intelligence. This, she tells me, comprised parts of the novel which are presented as a character’s exchange with ChatGPT”

The easiest way to see for yourself if a model is a glorified autocomplete it to ask it something relevant to spatial logic. Ask it how it might balance an egg, a textbook, a donut, and an automobile. If it were simply autocomplete, the answer wouldn’t make sense.

I think they’re saying “the public” as in nearby drivers and pedestrians that may be in the path of these cars.

It’s exactly like Uber: the main company isn’t profitable and it propped up by VC funding, people that use it to do their jobs aren’t helped much by it, and consumers are ultimately doing harm to the climate by using it.

The worst part is that there’s no economic justification, like in past authoritarian regimes.
Voting Hitler into power is taught as a response to hyperinflation and whatnot, but people voted for authoritarianism here because eggs were 10% more expensive??

Now I don’t mean to claim that all of those trials were fair; the Eastern European trials of Nazis were more focused on popular catharsis, not upholding an ideal of justice.
But I don’t think that’s what OP was referring to, they might have meant the Volksgerichtshof, for Nazi People’s Court.

Theresienstadt was notable because it served as a model for international visitors, including the Red Cross.

Theresienstadt
The Theresienstadt camp/ghetto served multiple purposes during its existence from 1941-45 and had an important propaganda function for the Germans. Learn more.

The Nuremberg trials were fair trials of Nazis held by the Allied powers. In Western European countries, they were largely fair and had humane living conditions.
These look like an inhumane internment or concentration camp that people will be sent to without due process or any real justice.

On Twitter (before my feed filled up with Nazis), I didn’t need to follow many people; just interacting with content I was interested in was enough to make a pretty great For You page.

I opened it once to find a previous bookmark and my For You feed, which used to be excellent, was full of actual Nazis and Trump supporters.

Thanks! I put a lot of time and effort into making custom feeds, following the same people I followed before, etc., but I still can’t make a timeline that’s relevant like I used to have.
I won’t be going back to Nazi-ville, but it’s still tough to use.

I don’t care for a three-minute segment about a local law on a Sinclair-owned broadcaster immediately following their “terrorism alert” segments that just have news about brown people, not terrorists.
