  • I’d rather have a car that drives better than a typical cabby or uber driver.

    Waymo has arguably been there for a while now. I’ll Uber outside of their coverage area, and take the autonomous car with in it. Every other Uber driver in my area is making late lane choices, tailgating, cutting people off, talking to me about how the world works, etc. The Waymos don’t do any of that shit.

    Having experienced FSD, I can honestly say, Waymo’s LiDAR system is way better. It doesn’t do this terrifying shit.

  • New panel be like

  • Manimal

  • lol. His shitty user name.

  • I find it hard to believe anything is better than Hannah Montana Linux.

  • TMZ comment threads have that “my dumb brother in law” energy.

  • Navy Kevin had a birthday and everyone at the Pentagon had a sleepover and ordered hundreds of pizzas. Bibi wasn’t invited, so he got mad and started a second war.

  • Problems is that people are just kind of seeing “3.5%” and they’re not actually listening to the details behind it.

    The 3.5% is a sign that you’re organizing effectively. The number in and of itself is not the goal.

    Also, the research noted that, once an authoritarian regime starts to crack down on protests, that well organized machine usually has to flip to other nonviolent tactics like general strikes, shutdowns, and pressuring regime supporters to join the resistance.

  • Every right you have was taken from those in power with the violence and blood of workers

    MLK, Susan B. Anthony, and Cézar Chávez would disagree with that statement.

  • Obstruction and resisting authoritarian rules are key, but when looking at the sum of violent and nonviolent movements, the nonviolent movement had a higher percentage of wins.

    And when researched looked into that finding, they learned that nonviolent actions were more successful at attracting allies, and violent resistance played into authoritarians hands. Authoritarians want to use “protection” as a way to stop resistance.

  • Grow up dude

    Can we dial it down? This is Lemmy, not X. We don’t need to treat each other poorly in order to have a conversation.

  • What was new was the quantification of participation.

  • The domain was owned by a company that was using it for Gawker-like blog spam for several years, but Rose just bought the domain back 2 months ago and they’re getting ready to relaunch.

  • Actually, her research says the complete opposite. Violence significantly lowered the odds of being successful.

  • The research didn’t say “mass protests and they’re out.” It simply shows the key characteristics that make a resistance more likely to be successful. And nonviolence, a focused message, and high participation are a good way to increase your odds.

  • It hasn’t launched yet

  • Nah, Kevin Rose reacquired Digg in March.

  • What are the odds that this phone filters media for its end users?
