That is why I turned lane assist off after a dozen false positives that felt like the car was going to steer me into danger with no benefits.

Parking assist got turned off when parking in a garage set off a cacophony.

They said dumb ideas.

This is probably the best thing about lane assist on modern cars.

Absolutely not. It's fucking dangerous. The one time I drove a rental like that, I went through a construction area downtown, and it tried to steer me right into a construction fence when I was following the yellow temporary construction lane markers that were going around the fenced off area.

I disagree, it's annoying in general.

If I need to go around, say, a mail truck parked on the side of the road, the steering assist in our work van starts to rumble or shake or whatever it does. If there's construction, you guessed it, it doesn't understand that I have to cross over the line to continue driving, and if I have a turn signal on, the cop/worker directing traffic is going to expect me to go that way.

If a car is driving in the opposite direction and starts to ride/cross the double yellow lines, me moving over causes the vehicle to resist and fight me, potentially putting me into an accident because I didn't think to put my turn signal on in a split-second situation.

My car should not be able to, idk what word I'm looking for, override me? People need to take driving more seriously and stop handing off their responsibilities to a computer system/sensor that can not only fail, but also doesn't understand real world applications.

They do this in India. You're allowed 2 homes, 3rd onwards you have to pay Income tax for deemed rent received if it's empty.

Possible formula: Tax for n-th house = n-th Fibonacci number + 5 * max(0, n - 2). So low numbers like three get penalized by that linear part, and high numbers grow exponentially due to the Fibonacci number.

This is so obviously what needs to happen. The fact that it hasn't says everything you need to know about current governments.

That sounds like it would be a good idea, but there is a strange but significant cadre of right-wing Star Trek fans. I think they just pay attention to the pew pew space battles and ignore everything else or something.

people...just need to get laid

A Hollywood induced fantasy.
People need therapy, and substituting that with sex is enabling the messed up folks to stay messeed up.

It's such a lib solution. "Let's make sure guns are inaccessible except to rich people".

I see you've worked in military procurement.

I think you should be allowed one sign on the building itself and a listing in some sort of directory and that's it.

The idea of "destroy the banks and free everyone" is in so many movies and shows. Sneakers, Mr. Robot, Fight Club. Hell, even Tuvok had a gang of teenage hackers "ethically distribute" money in SeaQuest.

I'm destroying war, corruption. I'm ripping the heart out of greed! [as they both battle to hack into and out of the world bank]

It does have some historical precedent. In the ancient Near East it was common for all debts to be destroyed every decade or so.

I always wished there was a karma system where every time you litter, when you get home what you littered is in your bed waiting for you. I would love the result for CEOs whose companies dump oil or toxic waste.

Because, and I have no idea why so many people don't get this, you're supposed to signal you're going to turn, then slow down, then turn. That's how you safely let anyone behind you know you're going to do that.

I can't tell you how many times I've almost rear-ended someone because they weren't using their turn signals until they had already started turning. You might as well not use them at all for all the good that does.

Which is why it's an incredibly dumb idea. It's not actually possible. But it would make the world a better place.

Turn signals need to telegraph what you are planning to do, not show what you're in the process of doing.
