Self driving car would have been disruptive to their business model. Their biggest cost is drivers comp. Getting rid of drivers would boost their profit by an incredible amount. Not to mention all the political issues surrounding driver as contractors or full time employees with benefits.

12 or 13 depending on daylight saving time, never 15 hours.
mitfahrener | 5 years ago | on: US government accuses TikTok of being a mouthpiece for the Communist Party
Saying that TikTok employs 130 CCP members doesn't mean much. How many Republicans and Democrats do a typical American company employ?Maybe they don't talk about politics at work in China either?

China doesn't military conscription. You should fact check your statement.

Trampling on WeChat users' first amendment rights would be a violation. Many of the users are American citizens, like myself. I'd like to talk to my grandparents and cousins in China. They don't or can't use other social networks, so WeChat it is.

Hah. Yeah. I read it now.

Nevermind, this is about hair turning white. Should have read the article first.

My mother was right. I am baldy because if stress. Although all my maternal uncles were bald as a lightbulb. That probably didn't help.

Do you need to hold your head really still? What happens if you move your head after scanning?

Micromobility is dangerous. Want go check injuries per mile stats?

Let me guess. Single male, able body, no kids. When you have kids, you'd appreciate having a car/rent a car/uber when grocery shopping for example. And the city is full of people with kids. We are not the minority here. Not everyone is interested in a scooter that is inherently unsafe at moderate speeds.

Singapore. Low on freedom, high on equality/housing. No protest.
mitfahrener | 6 years ago | on: Why so many Chinese students can’t understand the Hong Kong protests
That doesn't seem to be mainland/CCP's fault. The big real estate developers (the Lee, Kwoks families, etc) owns much of the properties. Why is mainland China the target for inequality and housing issue to blame? I have no stake in this fight, just curious.
