"Someone". And yes, they are.

Fusion 360. It's the only thing that makes me boot into windows. I've lazily tried to make do with some 3D CAD on Linux, but no.

Sweden: Svensson, although the most common surname is Andersson.

Specifically for Gothenburg - Glenn "everybody is called Glenn in Gothenburg", or older use - Kålle (male) and Ada (female). Not used that often.

Can't believe that this still makes me laugh after all these years. Classic.

I know toasters are for bathing, but hadn't heard circular saws were better for showers. TIL.

I have absolutely no problems with non-gendered bathrooms and they are getting more and more common. The one exception in my opinion is the troth-style arrangement that are common at larger venues, because of superior throughput. Especially sport venues where everyone rushes to the bathroom at halftime. If all toilets were individual, the queues would get enormous or the number of toilets would have to be at least tripled.

And admit it guys, you'd miss having the opportunity to compliment someone's dick without it being weird.

Otherwise I see no point in gendering bathrooms.

How about just making all comments complete non sequiturs. Correct sentences, but completely out of context, just to fuck with the AIs. If the comments aren't all that valuable to teach AIs with anymore, well...

Edit: Also upvoting those comments.

I agree. Can't really see how it would work in practice in international waters though. Who should enforce it for example? UN, maybe? Some new international coast guard type organization operating only on international waters? Should the local marine or coast guard be responsible for the vessels under the same flag even on international waters? Kind of a big job, that. I'm no maritime expert by any stretch and international law and treaties aren't in my book of tricks either. It can't be entirely impossible, but I'm not your man on this. There's quite possibly some simpler solution that would at least improve the situation, but... Maybe if local companies was bound to local regulations even on international waters and their actions could be prosecuted according to that, things might at least improve. At least for a case like this, provided his company was US based in the first place and/or the boat they used. I dunno.

You are probably right about game theory working for zero sum games, but in this game, there is only one player. Us. Humanity as a whole. The two outcomes in that game are so trivial that we don't need game theory to figure out which outcome is most beneficial.

We pretty much already know what needs to be done to win this game, or at least give it our best shot. Game theory is what holds us back from doing that, because we are wrongly applying it to try and find local best outcomes. Unfortunately, there is no point in looking for local best outcomes in this game, because they won't matter if the whole game is lost.

I can't say I fully thought out my comment to that extent, but I do agree that we need proper regulations to protect us from shady business practices, even if the CEO in this case believed it to be safe enough to take the same risks as the customers. But that is beside the point. Proper regulations protects the public even in that case.

How those regulations could be enforced on international waters is whole bag of cats that I don't even have a shoot-from-the-hip kinda opinion on. UN somehow? I don't know.

Yeah, Lennon fans can be annoying.

Yep, that's the one. I saw this argument someplace on youtube, but I'm a bit uncertain as to where so I can't give credit to whoever came up with it.
