    People are kinder here, overall.

    That may be because there aren’t troll bots, stoking the fires, to drum up ‘discussion’ which makes it look good to advertisers that it is an active pool of users.

    Did no one see the all the bots around 2015/2016 learning on Reddit?

    They would say all sorts of non-sensical stuff as they learned, until there would be a hit or two that would get responses out of people, and it would re-enforce the bot to say more things like that.

    Guess what kind of stuff/topics gets a plethora of responses?

    Usually you can access it through the obd2 port.

    But realistically, there’s no reason why you can’t design the hydraulics in a way that the cylinder is always leaking through an orifice and the dump trailer is constantly slowly lowering itself unless you are actively holding the Up button. There’s never a case where a truck needs to hold it’s dump up in the air for long periods of time.

    Well, that’s academic…

    Again, when you are in the real world… how is irrelevant.

    It doesn’t matter if you did your homework or did the same thing over and over again.

    Sure, some people acquire the capability through repetition. But all that matters in the end is if you are capable or not.

    So viewing homeworks as just about the artifact you submit is missing the point and short-sighted.

    No, the point is to get an irrelevant piece of paper that in the end doesn’t actually indicate a persons capabilities.

    Nah,

    I grew up in the world of BBS’s and IRC. First foray into a chat channel started with someone renaming themselves “34yrDude changes name to 15yrChick”

    …and that set the tone for me what the internet is.

    It’s a entire world where you make absolutely zero assumptions. The ‘things’ responding in text could be anything. And I say thing instead of people because these days it may not even a person.

    There’s an entity that responds to my comments, and perhaps seemingly hurtful,

    it could be some 10yr old kid who doesn’t fully understand, it could be could be some mentally challenged person, it could be someone’s crazy grandma,

    and now it could be some bot that while not purposefully built to be malicious, through emergent behavior is trolling and insulting people because it gets a rise out of people that results in more and longer comments, which tickles its feedback loop to do more of the same.

    So nah, there’s nothing anyone in the vast internet could type out that I would personally hurt my feelings, because I make no assumptions as to where the comment is coming from, and those comments don’t have a lot of weight to me.

    Realistic Batteries. It’s holding back a LOT of things. A lot of technologies are solved, but just require power.

    Semi-Realistic Room Temperature Super-Conductor.

    If that can be solved, the power density and efficiencies would just be astronomical… It would absolutely destroy multi-billion industries overnight.

    Way-Out-There-Stuff If they ever prove out an actual functional EmDrive-like thruster, that would absolutely open up space travel to our species.
