You could just have two bus stops. People who live and work at both ends will be very happy. But everyone else gets thrown under the bus.

Why stop there. Build enough buses for everybody so they can choose where those two stops are.

Great idea! And then what if we went even further and made enough busses so we could all have one waiting at our houses at all times?

You might need to make the buses smaller. Maybe give some options on the number of seats. You could also tailor the bus; different colors and shapes. Heck, you could store and transfer things easier. Personal buses sound like a marketing win.

You'd have to invest so much money into putting roads everywhere, and then the personal busses need to have their own refueling depots everywhere, and getting the oil for those depots in the first place is going to be the cause of needless war and deaths. That's totally never gonna happen!

That sounds like a great idea! But what if you have to catch your bus when it's cold or raining? To solve this problem we can build mini indoor bus terminals and attach them to each house.

You couldn't afford the bus drivers. The convenience of the bus is that someone else drives for you. If you have to drive, it's not a bus. Maybe a wealthy tech investor could announce self-driving cars...

And then what if you owned the bus so it was super convenient. And maybe made it smaller so it was easier to drive and park.

Just like a little 4 seat bus you could just have all the time. I bet that would be popular!

Depends on what you're targeting

- If it's a rough PR, you're looking for feedback on direction rather than nitpicks.

- If it's in a polished state, it's good to nitpick assuming you have a style guide you're intending to adhere to.

Perhaps this can be provided in the system prompt?

I don't think you can build a unified platform using anecdotes. That's why product research and product market fit is a thing. Not product customer fit. Unless you're willing to understand how to address your market segment's painpoints, you're just going to have a platform like jira that does nothing great but everyone somehow limps along with it.

you assume he cares about falling birthrates.

that's already happening? are you going to be funding your own vaccine research?

None of what you say is inherent in a public service.

The DMV often gets singled out as an inefficient system that is emblematic of the failure of public option, but I assure you as someone who's had to deal with a privatized version, you're not getting better service and in fact the fees are much more expensive without recourse or oversight.

The answer to a bad system is a good system. Adding a middleman who is only interested in extracting as much money as possible is rarely the improvement the consultants would have you believe.

Washington state has privatized much of the DMV, and it's much better then what I've experienced in other states.

I saw someone suggest in another post, if only one crawler was visiting and scraping and everyone else reused from that copy I think most websites would be ok with it. But the problem is every billionaire backed startup draining your resources with something similar to a DOS attack.

Saw an actual PR that says "this was generated with claude, please review carefully". Since when did we stop taking responsibility for what is submitted?

Yes, let's use blanket statements to justify our preconceived notions. I'm not sure what the conclusion you're trying to push here -- feminism is about women having rights. Including the right to complain.

If you edit a comment after another community member has replied, please disclose it with an "EDIT: ..." statement at the end.

It's unfair to change the context of someone's reply after they've posted it, and confusing to other readers.

But didn't you just do exactly that by calling the parent's thoughts preconceived notions?

Edit: parent changed his/her comment after I posted my criticism. Originally it was much shorter and only wrote that the parent's comments are preconceived notions. No context, no nothing.
