"A Supreme Court that doesn't give a damn what the public wants ... is exactly what a Supreme Court is for, actually."
True enough. But elected representatives in government *are* supposed to do what people want, that's why they get elected. If they had fulfilled their obligations to actually represent the citizens' wants then the Supreme Court wouldn't have to act at all.
It all boils down to a need for #ProportionalRepresentation with multi-member districts so all views are represented in goverment.
I agree that Roe v Wade being canceled is a bad outcome. I agree that women should have the right to their bodies, but here's my possibly unpopular take:
A Supreme Court that doesn't give a damn what the public wants ... is exactly what a Supreme Court is for, actually.
It seems the state-of-the-art for autonomous vehicles is worse than I thought. Still, with the number of bad drivers on the road now, replacing them with bad robocars is still likely to be an improvement.
>Despite lofty performance promises from carmakers seeking an autonomous future, recent testing from AAA revealed “inconsistent performance” with more basic active driving assistance (ADA) that resulted in vehicles crashing repeatedly into cars and a bicycles.
OTOH, when the self-driving cars have to make a trolley decision and decide to veer into a mailbox or a fire hydrant that's really me on a bicycle, then I'm blaming you.
@Moon@evelyn@tk Yeah, he really believes the system has people's best interest in mind. And for the individual cogs of the system he is likely to interact with on a daily basis, people at his "level" and below, that's probably true. But once you start looking at the upper echelons, at the people shaping the conversation as to how the people's "best interests" are served, someone is leveraging those cogs for something else entirely.
Meh. If you're using Twitter's embed code to show info from Twitter's site on your own web page, then you get whatever Twitter wants to show you. This is not Twitter editing your web page, this Kevin Marks's web page retrieving code from Twitter, and letting unknown code run in the viewer's browser.
If you really want an immutable record of what Twitter had then copy'n'paste the text, don't use Twitter's embed code. Or you could capture a screenshot, just be sure to provide full ALT text so the text is still text.
Browsers that block Javascript should still see the blockquote text that's actually part of the page.
