For example, the new law could say that getting a ticket for running a red light would result in revocation of your license. As opposed to just a monetary fine / points like typically awarded now.

Not really, because exactly that: car=freedom. That will continue to be true, but it will not be 'drivers license = freedom'. People who lose their license will need to use a self-driving car.

'make licensing more strict' is basically going to bring the standard up to the level of machines anyway... every time there is an accident, lawmakers will create '<victim name>s law', which tightens the requiremen

And those people are exactly the problem. They are willing to throw away the Supreme Court, climate change, and fair immigration all over a perceived personal slight.

The 23,650 people who get jobs in that development but have nowhere to live. These people end up having to live a 2hr drive or 2.5hr mass transit ride away - or, maybe they can save up for 15 years so they can afford a 1bdm nearby. Intent

Experiences varied wildly. For employees, it was a terrible time. Large companies were laying off left and right, and Sequoia did indeed advise all CEOs to fire their devs if their product was already on the market. However, since the sto

Regardless of what speakers of those languages do, we can do everything we can to remove gender bias from English. We don't have to keep doing something just because others are doing it.

The small layoffs are not usually done for morale reasons; they're done to avoid having to give a WARN notice [1]. Even in cases where a WARN notice is not legally required, it is a PR problem to be admitting that you're laying st

I wish they were more upfront about it as well. Of course, then Silicon Valley (the tv show) wouldn't have the fodder for jokes that it now does.

I'm reminded of an old Hollywood quote, "I'll never work with <actor X> again, unless he's right for the part". Business is business.

My guess is, your down votes relate to your implicit equation of abuse to politics - as though saying statements that politically disagree with you are abuse.

Would you buy a stock that is guaranteed to stay flat for the discernible future? No? Then you have your answer. (let's not forget that, thanks to inflation, 'flat' is actually losing money over time.)

But that's exactly the point. Only way for AirBnB to grow would be that gap that AirBnB is occupying to grow. This could be created by an increase in "the market for people staying places when they travel", or a shrinking o

A libertarian may well do that, but in this world we (Americans) live in, it _is_ a dichotomy. I would say, as an aside, that we give too much credit to the president - you want to cut red tape? Start with the municipal government, and get

This is almost embarrassingly naive. GWB years saw the house, senate, and white house controlled by republicans, yet regulations continued to grow apace. Furthermore, Republicans have long given up any pretext of wanting to reduce governme

I assume you mean "in all practicality it will mostly mean a few more [workers] will be hired, and that it will be more difficult to get more [hours in your shift] than 8 hours a day." It's not clear to me, of course, why any

I thought about this as well, and concluded that FB must be reporting 'video views' as any time a video starts autoplaying (or something similar). In this way I could see the total estimated viewing time getting significantly ove

A lot of people seem to be commenting that a 20-person office would hardly move the needle at Twitter. They're right, in general - the total numbers are too small to be layoffs and it covered an entire office so is unlikely to be perf
