One of the considerations was cars getting bigger and heavier, making changes for bad accidents with pedestrians and cyclists higher. To compensate, speed is brought down to even things out. That push for large SUVs has some downsides.

And pay for the privilege.

I’ve never heard of agentic before

Because it was an idea floating around before but it never worked out and they never spoke about it afterwards.

Ask the US to do it for a fixed low price and see them refusing the orders.

Classic. The only reward for good work is more work. Then management is surprised people deliver mediocre work and mediocre effort after they don’t get a raise (again).

The history how Vietnam tells it is such a contrast. It boils down to colonizers trying to take their land and they pushed them out. Also with USA basically saying to France: “step aside, I’ve got this.” and then losing.

It would be a lot easier if the kids at 12 years old could tell their exact life’s plans so we can tune their curriculum to all their future needs.

They’ll check for more testosterone than average and then move to disqualify.

Knowing the Germans, they’ll lobby even harder for tariffs and subsidies for fossil fuels, claiming that their customers demand the authentic vroom vroom noise. Meanwhile customers are looking at way to expensive SUVs as the main model being sold.

Or at least pay out the unused days as additional wage and they really don’t like that.

the drought is real, but so are awful water management, subsidised waste, thirsty crops in the wrong places, and political appointments that put loyalty above expertise

If the government vehemently denies it, it must be true.

In reality, there’s a whole hell of a lot of bad things that can happen in between

And they’ll be blamed on the scapegoat du jour instead of the real inconvenient cause.

Let’s just build a new web based on the old BBS terminals, and 16 color images. Too much graphics was a mistake.

Exactly. It’s the classic salami slice method. Push a bit more, and if nothing happens go a bit further. They’ll keep doing that until they’re standing in Brussels or there is a serious reaction and pushback.

Variable rewards causes addictive behaviour, even in pigeons.

Whose bread I eat, his song I sing.

Pluto is the king of the dwarf planets. Or the ass end of the major planets.
