Bitcoin has a longer proof-of-work history, which is the only thing that secures any blockchain.

Stake also secures blockchain and doesn't waste energy.

It doesn't. Elon will happily spam your notifications with his own racist tweets directly, even if you don't follow him.

Do taxis need to park tho?


I mean, depending on the situation, of course. Do taxi drivers in US drop people right in the middle of a busy street?


Kinda yeah? They certainly don't navigate into long-term multi-storey parking structures.


Fair point, both extremes don't really happen in reality.

Due process comes before the actions.


> If all your money vanished tomorrow you'd have a different argument.

But that would just mean they are very biased, since they are kind of defending their own money. Right now they are a bit more impartial.


The only secure blockchain is the blockchain with the longest proof-of-work history.


Waymos are driving themselves around several cities right now.


In full self driving mode, meaning with no human overlooking and correcting?


Yes, go to rome. I will be impressed when we have self driving cars in rome.


They are in San Francisco today so it's not like they are doing this on easy mode.


But are they doing it without human intervention?


Wait til it snows.


The discussion around self-driving cars often feels like shifting goalposts: each time one feature is achieved, a new requirement is added, perpetually delaying the "final" answer.

Self-driving cars are "here"... until someone adds another requirement.


I mean by your logic self driving cars were invented back when we put a steam engine on some tracks in the 1800s. Of course the goalposts shift when the hypesters are trying to sell you on an idea like "AI will be able to do literally everything next week".

Yes, Waymo can today drive around extremely dense car-friendly cities that are scanned and mapped in great detail weekly... They also still have to have remote human intervention all the time, and are freaked out by traffic cones being placed on the hood. I grew up in Indonesia and that's where I learned to drive, and trust me, if Waymo is ever able to navigate 100 meters on any road in Jakarta I'll happily concede and consider self-driving to be a solved problem.


No, that is not my logic. It completely misrepresents my logic. My comment was not equating hype with reality, it was about the constantly moving goalposts in discussions about _autonomous vehicles_.

In fact, I am not arguing that self-driving cars are perfect or global. I am pointing out how people keep changing the definition of "solved" which makes it look like the finish line keeps moving.

We do have what parent said, it is a reality. It is also the reality that it is not perfect, but somehow the latter is made to minimize or completely dismiss the former.


There are no moving goalposts, though there is a certain lack of precision in the discussion, on both ends. There is a commonly accepted scale of self-driving car autonomy. By some accounts Waymo can be considered to be level 4, by others they are only level 3. By no account are they level 5, nor is anyone else.

Those are the goalposts and they've been in the same spot for quite a while now.


For me it's always been cars without steering wheels built on a factory line.


Operating in the snow is not a niche requirement.


No one said that it is, nor that self-driving cars are fully solved. My issue is with the snarky remarks of shifting goalposts. See my other reply.

I just do not think that your response is a valid response to a fact ("Waymos are driving themselves around several cities right now").


why you spyin on folks


After trying a lot of things what worked for me was cutting out negative food; usually gluten, lactose, fructose. Probiotics never did anything for me.


What makes gluten a negative food? (outside of being coeliac)


Nothing specific, simply your own stomach. Every human is different. Some people can eat spicy foods, some people can't. Best strategy is to learn for yourself what make you happy when you wake up and what makes you feel bad. Listen to your own body, make changes.


Thanks for clarifying. I agree with your answer. Do what works for you!

Since the advent of "gluten free" foods, specifically for coeliacs, the fact foods get advertised as "X free" leads a percentage of the population to believe that X is therefore bad and should be avoided for as-a-general-rule health reasons rather than health reasons limited to those who get complications as a result of X.
