but you need to supervise it because you are both responsible and because it’s not perfect
Not self-driving then. Words have meanings.

Then it's not "Full self driving". It's at best lane assistance, but I wouldn't trust that either.
Elon needs to shut the fuck up about self driving and maybe issue a full recall, because he's going to get people killed.
That's not exactly how it works.
Most research is based around understanding the universe. Often called Blue Sky research (Why is the sky blue?).
Now that's a very broad category, so you break things down into something more manageable. Like the lifecycle of a specific insect, or the behavior of crowds in shopping centers during holidays.
The point being that you can absolutely tell someone what to research.
Now, you are correct in that you cannot dictate the results of research.
Except that you can, and it's the second type of research.
Goal oriented research, or maybe practical research? starts with a goal or a problem. Like a disease. The goal is a cure or prevention. How you get to that point doesn't matter as long as you do, but in practice the way to meeting that goal is going to be more research centered around understanding the goal or problem.
Now, all that said, pure Blue Sky research has a guaranteed return on investment. NASA estimates that their return is 3-1. 3 dollars back for every dollar of their budget.
All that said, there is no ethical reason to constrain research topics or even to reduce spending on science.
That was mostly England. The Balfour Declaration kicked it all off, and then post WW1 British Colonialism locked it in, even though the people who founded Israel were actively fighting England to do so.
Exactly.
Oliver Cromwell's head was displayed for 30 years on the Tower Bridge. Granted he was already dead before he could participate in the process, so he was dug up, then hanged, drawn, and quartered, and his head was mounted on a spike.
The trick to a long-lasting head on a spike is to dip the head in tar. It slows the decomposition... Although I'm sure there are modern treatments that would work better, maybe freeze dry and then an epoxy under vacuum?
The pike vs spike is far deeper than that.
A pike is a long pole with a spike at the end. This is perfect for mounting heads when parading through the streets, but is less desirable for a permanent fixture, say on the steps of Congress.
A spike is usually referring to a fixed emplacement.
Hope that clears things up.
Proportional representation would be good. But the true fix is to change the voting system to one that supports multiple parties.
The easiest system that does this is Approval. The slightly better option is called STAR.
Both systems have proportional versions, but single winner is honestly good enough.
The actual plan is to crash the economy to theoretically rebuild it stronger.
The thing is, that's still crashing the economy and the only people with the money to rebuild it will be buying up everything for pennies on the dollar.
Except there no evidence of starvation in Ba Sing Se. After all, there was so little impact that the citizens could be convinced that there was no war.
As to supply lines, earth benders cannot be locked in by a siege. They can create tunnel networks with a literal wave of the hand.
So you're inventing crimes that didn't exist.
He was first in line to be Fire Lord until his son died.
I don't think Iroh would have been as ruthless as his brother. But he did see conquest as a sort of duty.
But then his son died, and he realized that it was all pointless.
A tungsten cube that size would weigh a fuckload.
To just deliver it would be an undertaking. There will be roads between you and the where ever this came from that are not rated for that weight.
You may need a specialized truck just to move it, and a crane to get it on and off said truck...
The reason conservatives don't like research is that to truly take advantage of it, you need a strong university system, and a lot of students.
And universities are breeding grounds for leftist ideals.
Education in general moves people to the left, but universities take that to 11. And that's why conservatives hate it.
