He's had issues with his vocal chords, so this is a potential reason why he hasn't given many (any?) public appearances as of late. Curious to follow, as I've wondered the same thing... https://www.silicon.co.uk&#x

I mean... what's the alternative? They just let people smash their vehicles without repercussion? I would certainly pursue legal action if someone slashed my tires while I was driving. Why would this be any different?

Waymo's got an open-to-public service in SF & Phoenix. Testing in LA & Austin now. It works really well, and has been expanding quickly (relatively speaking). https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/tr

Having only worked for larger companies (RSU stage), I'm curious what the typical breakdown of founder to early employee to investor to later employee equity looks like. I'm sure it differs pretty wildly, but I'd love to know

They don't operate in snow now, but everybody was like "This is great, but it doesn't work in the rain!" this time last year. I've now taken many flawless rides in outright downpours in SF. It might take a year or t

I do think the one area that Alphabet is still genuinely innovating is Waymo. With Cruise sidelined, if they can manage to turn it into something that makes money (have ridden in SF, and the tech seems to work great), it could be up there w
