If a business fails because it didn't plan for a black swan event, let it fail. Otherwise you create a moral hazard and ensure stuff like this happens over and over again. It's bad when these businesses fail because it hurts the e

I'm confused what this comment is saying - are you just trying to say that someone getting killed by a car is really really bad? If so, I agree. I've never heard of "expectancy value" in my life - it's definitely no

Waymo/Cruise and Uber aren't even in the same class and as I said, Waymo/Cruise cars go thousands of miles without driver intervention. Waymo cars go 11,000+ miles without driver intervention on average. I would encourage doi

Transporting people together in a single thing is much more efficient than having a big roomy box for every person.

But if a human is piloting a helipcopter with a "gorgon stare"-esque technology attached, seems pretty much the same. I guess I'm unsure what about the autonomous flying is what draws people ire, rather than just overhead sur

Hm, I'm not so sure. Take this for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Seth_Rich#Shooting_a... Officers were able to locate and respond within a minute because of a system like this.

Really? Why? In DC, I think it's been pretty successful because lots of gunshots do not result in police calls.

> Assuming, of course, that the gunshot detectors are in fact special gunshot detectors and not a giant array of normal microphones with some algorithms applied to them. Why is your statement based at all on that assumption? I don't
674.
by MiroF 6y ago
I don't think people really think about it. Another example: most cities have systems that can pinpoint a gunshot to a block radius anywhere in the city so that police can respond quickly.

Not true - back when I used to mess around with this in high school quite a few cameras had the controls.

by MiroF 6y ago
Yeah, it's actually quite easy to find misconfigured IP cameras like these online and be able to control them, used to do it for kicks back in high school. Surprised this has gotten so many upvotes.

Why does the factor of -1 just have to be on the imaginary proportion? seems like this would be true if you multiplied the whole thing by -1.

> one key element Tesla is lacking (currently) is handling pedestrians There is a lot more that Tesla is lacking before self-driving. I'm baffled that people here are suggesting otherwise?

The conclusion was that just because being a Tesla worker and being a construction worker are roughly equally safe doesn't mean that both automatically should re-open. Construction being more valuable for society than a Model 3 was par

Eh - I think a lot of Physics PhDs still become quants, I say this having majored in physics at one of these east coast universities. Management consulting a little less so from PhD but definitely from undergrad.

We need to get testing and contact tracing down before we re-open. You're right that we cannot wait for a vaccine.

Doctors being wrong is more common than hypochondriacs and overuse of the medical system? I guess we'll just agree to disagree.
