If you look in to why Waymo started “full self driving” in Arizona and, now, San Francisco it’s because the cars cannot even drive in light rain and the entire fleet is garaged with even mild inclement weather. We are still lightyears away

This is older news, but it notes that the permanent “closure rate” in California was 9.3/1,000 businesses. I’m guessing that’s a monthly rate but it’s not entirely clear to me. It also notes that LA had seen 15,000 businesses closing

Another secondary benefit I appreciate is trekking poles keep my hands higher and assist with circulation/lessen blood pooling in my fingertips.

Not to sound silly - but how is it strange? They offered her 6+ figures to use her name and then they used her name… seems relatively straightforward. Mayim Bialik is hocking “brain pills”; Matt Damon, Snoop, and every other celebrity is ho

In the United States gambling winnings are fully taxed as income (and gambling losses are deductible).

I think what they’re doing is super-smart: there is a giant section of the population that wants consistency over any other feature - my mom, 74, and her 5 siblings are always thrilled to have a phone that works exactly like their last phon

Agreed. I was recently dating someone who introduced and held herself out as a vegetarian. Our first date: sushi. She ate oodles of meat. Subsequent meals included lots of bacon (‘I don’t eat it that often’) and steak, occasionally. Reall

The Bush v Gore fiasco is nothing like what is going on now: in 2000, in Florida, after all votes were tallied, the vote totals were so close a recount was legally mandated . During the recount a large number of ballots (actual, tangible e

Those taxis can’t even reliably drive in the rain yet, hence Arizona for the staging grounds. So they’re a far cry from meeting the standard, unless rain is now considered a natural disaster.

I think the one thing that has unequivocally been proven though is that it works . To what degree it fits/supports peoples’ subjective state of mind is up for argument, but most professions got by just as they did prior to the pandemi

I'm definitely not the smartest guy in the room by any stretch, ever, but as a decade+ practicing attorney myself and everyone I know have this same mindset. I even love my job much more than most of my peers. But the bureaucracy, nitp

Only recognized states are given federal voting rights by the constitution. Puerto Rico is designated as a territory. That’s the logic at least.

Go back 100 years, replace ‘LGBT groups’ with ‘civil rights activists’ (who had much less support) and ‘homosexuality’ with ‘African Americans’ and you will (hopefully) realize how barbaric that thought process is. The same argument was als

The general rule I find helpful is that diet=size and exercise=shape. Being aware of this really helps me limit my food intake even when I’m exercising a ton.

If you use a donation as a write-off you need an entity to claim receipt and value of the donation, since the donee would now have to claim the donation as an asset. If you’re asserting person X and Y are both selling and donating to each o

They may be labeled as smart, but they’re not nerfed at all if you don’t connect to the internet. And there are no notifications or interruptions trying to get you to connect. You can even just hook it up to a set of rabbit ears and set ‘an

I highly recommend TCL TVs. The remotes are super simple (with just the buttons you need), the UI is straightforward and you never have to connect to the internet. I’m on my second panel, only because I wanted to downsize from 65” to a 55”

I wouldn’t take that bet, if only because I hope you’re right.

Even if you don’t like it, by the numbers Joe Rogan is far more relevant, today, to any dissemination of news/ideas (and even music) than Neil Young. Fewer people bought Neil’s garbage music player than listen to a throwaway clip of Jo

It looks like adrafinil is getting difficult to come by in the US. Mostly I’m curious if on my sluggish work days something like modafinil would give me a kick that coffee just doesn’t provide. Though I already have itchy skin issues messin

I’ve wanted to try Modafinil for a long time but I’m too nervous to order it online. My doctor won’t prescribe it to me, saying it is only for extreme narcoleptics, though I think the real reason is that its street value is pretty high… bec

So you can’t be friends with mute people or people you do not share a language with? There are far more telling ways to determine friendship than someone saying ‘yes, let’s be friends’. Even between those who do speak the same language.

Agreed. I’d be surprised if money moved the ethics needle at all - ethical people are ethical, unethical people are unethical. The notion that one day someone unethical wakes up with an extra $100k/year (or $1 million) and all of a sud

After years of not playing a single game I picked up a Nintendo Switch a few months back and every title I have played is great. I’ve been playing Mario Odyssey for more than a month and it’s still a fantastic game to pickup and run around

I think the biggest problem/excuse/justification is that life makes it difficult to go to bed before XX o’clock (8:00 PM for me). I’ve never done this bifurcated sleep method, but I am happiest and most productive if I go to bed a

Court fees are generally not-that-high in trial courts. For example, in Oregon you can cover filing fees for multiple pleadings and a multi-day jury trial for less than $2,000. Not sure about India though. Ultimately it’s attorney fees that

Would you find it appropriate for automakers to charge a monthly fee to be able to simply start an automobile you bought? If no, then why are you okay with a monthly fee to do so remotely? It’s rather straightforward - you’re either for us
