They will try, but i doubt they can afford $464m.

Sure, but the problem is that you dont want to make safety equipment more expensive, as it encourages cheaping out and cutting corners. People already buy cheap and nasty tires that dont grip well or stop well (but still meet roadworthiness), its best to avoid further encouraging that.

There is no reason not to just directly tax against the weight of the car, as defined by the manufacturer. There already is a yearly rego payments, just scale that directly against weight.

A direct tax is also clear and obvious. If someone has a large car, the rego weight tax will clearly show they are paying more. Making tires more expensive just gets rolled into the price of the tire, which are already moderately expensive, so its easier to just rationalise it and ignore it.

I loved TotK, but how does a a reskin of BotW (I know its supposably a new engine, but still) win best technology?

I wonder if insurance is going to be okay with an AI (famous for never making a mistake /s) being involved in healthcare? If a human nurse makes a mistake the insurance can sue them and their malpractice insurance, if the AI makes a mistake, who can they blame and go after?

If insurance companies refuse to pay for AI nurses, hospitals cant use them?

As soon as I work out that my nurse is not a real person, im ending the communication. I am not paying a GPU for healthcare.

Yeah, it really is. On the upside, if you get rejected from a company that doesnt even have the time to manually review your CV, that might be a blessing in disguise.

Have they? There is the air canada thing, but that was kinda a different situation, the chat bot was explicitly acting for the company, and made direct claims for the company?

IANAL, but proving discrimination was already hard, and now they can just point at the black box and blame it, so its gonna get harder?

Except that they are now protected by the “We arent racist, they algorithm did it” defence, so realistically, only us plebs will lose.

The fact is that we can’t rely on any single website to hold the whole world’s knowledge, because it can be corrupted sooner or later. The only solution is a distributed architecture, with many smaller websites connecting with each other and sharing information. This is where ActivityPub comes in, the protocol used by Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube and many other federated social media projects.

Thank god Lemmy has no malicious users/bad actors/spam issues…

Interesting idea anyway. I would be a bit more worried that when important information is siloed onto instances, each instance becomes a point of failure, and thus can be corrupted or lost.

Good luck :)

I wrote a period tracker app that also encrypts/password protects the data at rest. If you’re concerned about someone taking your phone and accessing your data, it may also be worth a look.

Drip looks better for most people though. But they should add encryption if they dont already have it.

Use drip.

I think you make want to go the other way. Making tires more expensive wont make people choose smaller cars, they will choose worse tires. And then they will crash into you because they cant stop.

“Sorry, that was meant for my mum”

Offmychest was the Reddit equivalent, I see there is a goodoffnychest on lemmy, one of the topics was “I hate my mother”, so seems the right kinda place?

Also worth noting that your country probably has some kind of mental health/suicide prevention hotlines, and if your problems are more serious, you should use those services. Even if it doesn’t feel that serious, it’s what they exist for.
