You made the comparison between one person and a million. I quote:

Plus, as soon as the cars can drive themselves people will stop needing Uber in many cases.
No parking? Just tell your car to go park on a street 10 blocks away.
Drunk? Car drives itself while you sleep.
Going to the airport? Car drops you off and returns home. Car also picks you up when you are back.
This is combined with the fact that people will do more disgusting things in an Uber without the driver there. If you have ever driven for Uber, you know that 10% of people are trying to eat or drink in the car. They are going to spill and it's going to end up like the back of a bus.
Uh, the man was possessed and put the entire Enterprise at the mercy of an alien race. That's at least first officer material.
These people are all very successful. The main problem would be getting them to work together. If anything, this would be the luckiest ship in the fleet. At least 8/9 of them have major plot armor. This ship would be like Gilligan's Island in space.
It's not just that. People fought duels over their honor in the past. We don't have duels anymore, so we shouldn't rely on a judge to recuse themselves.
It is a founding concept of European law that no one should be a judge in their own case:
I think in one sense it can be good. Sometimes it is counterproductive to downvote someone from 1 to 0. I think this would prevent that, as the first downvote is probably the most important one.
But I agree that making any data public will allow everyone to be categorized easily. "This person dislikes this content and likes other content."
Remember, you are giving this info to everyone. Mark Zuckerberg will be able to see what you like and dislike in all public votes.
This shows that Hamas was more interested in being warlords than the actual business of governing. Just like the Israeli government is more interested in conquering a tiny bit of bombed out desert than actually living in peace.
Both sides are clearly led by pieces of shit. Israel has a democracy though, so they are choosing to be led by pieces of shit. Palestinians might have some shitty beliefs about Jewish people, but they don't have a voice in their government.
Literally no country actually cares about Palestinians. Iran and their proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, Syria) just want to be warlords. Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia just want to distract their domestic audience. Europe is just going to wring their hands and hope the killing stops.
America is actually the biggest force for peace in the region. All of these were signed in Washington DC (or nearby at Camp David):

How is the safety QA and employee treatment at these companies? Is it just trading expensive crap (Tesla) for cheap crap?
The thing is, it's not even necessary to be this drastic. Feel free to start negotiating from this point (tax all wealth above $50 million) but even settling for a 2% tax on wealth above $1 billion would be good. You can ease into it with a 1% tax on wealth above $100 million.
This wouldn't really affect the living standard of anyone wealthy enough to be taxed. Interest on invested assets will pay the tax easily. That's what Biden meant by "nothing will fundamentally change" for the wealthy.
If you have $1 billion you will probably be living off of $40 million in interest per year. A 1% tax would mean $9 million of that is taken as wealth tax (plus there will be some other income or capital gains tax). You will be fine.
Till said her daughter was sleepy during the Tuesday court visit because the family doesn’t have a permanent residence.
The teen was seeing King’s court as part of a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, an environmental group.
Uh... so this child is almost homeless and is donating their time to help the community. Clearly this judge is very bad at judging people.
If they said "these fortunes are real and will come true" they would be liable for fraud.
Microsoft's argument that they are not liable must include the idea that their Copilot AI is not expected to deliver true statements in its summaries. That's clearly not what the purpose of the summary is.
