Yeah I have. I still don't see it, I do see a lot of unwarranted cynicism and extremely sloppy arguments against these cars.

No, dammit. Pedestrian friendly streets are great! You can't walk that far, and I love walking places when I have time and energy. Bike lanes are great! I bike to work. If I'm not careful I'll arrive sweaty, and that inheren

So you mean to tell me that when I called a Waymo a few weeks ago at 1AM because I was drunk at a bar and wanted to go home, it was actually because my government and Google wanted me to go home? Woah! This conspiracy goes deeper than I tho

Can you actually define what the kool-aid is here? Because AV companies are saying "look at this new product, it objectively drives better and safer than a human, you don't have to deal with a human driver, it works 24/7, and

Sure, some number of years is reasonable - but what do you think that is? Because 70 is insane. A single bestseller should not be able to support an extended family over three generations; at some point the rent-seeking becomes excessive.

As long as there are 200M American Prime subscribers who like two day shipping it seems unlikely.

FFS, Biden won on the most left-leaning platform of any politician in history. Considering that he actually won the primary, I would consider him to be much more of a "man of the people" than Sanders. Even Mitt Romney, who has the

This has not worked out that well for Hollywood; lots of film and show production has moved out of the state and out of the country. The unions are desperately lobbying for studio tax breaks to save the CA movie industry. The industry has s

I'm sure that bus drivers are safer, but it absolutely does not feel safe to bike on Market if you end up between two buses. Recently a woman died because her scooter (?) tire got stuck in the streetcar tracks and she got run over by a

Sure, here are a few that are directly relevant to political jobs: - legislation proposed and passed - elections won (i.e. candidate WAR) - ability to make backroom deals - campaigning skills He's not good at any of those except the

I can't prove a negative but consider that winning the Democratic primary requires convincing a bunch of left-of-center voters to support your plan. Sanders couldn't do that. How do you think he would have fared with Republicans?

Yes, insofar as any "guaranteed" is cloud providers just saying "we pinky swear to not decrypt your resources!" I know what I'm talking about here - trust me when I say that the difference between a "government

Terrible narrative. Lina Khan under Biden was more than willing to go after big companies. She was forced out because the American people voted Trump into office. Eight years of Sanders would have left us with a far more gridlocked countr

No, it does not mean money. A fiduciary duty is a duty to manage money in someone else's best interests. It's confusing because "fiduciary" sounds like you have to optimize for the mercenary interests of shareholders,

It also includes Ukrainian drone operators, for whom this service is the difference between life and death. Not much tax money was spent on it either.

I think they do want to kill the industry, and I think that's fine. One of the greatest achievements of America was killing smoking as a pastime even if that trend is reversing.

I don't know why people keep repeating this. The board of a company must act in the interests of shareholders but the interests of shareholders go beyond just "make as much money as possible." It's entirely possible to s

> It doesn't add up, like at all. Yes, it does. If you want solar? You need lots of panels on lots of land far away from the DC. You need transmission lines connecting the two. You need to fight NEPA/CEQA/whatever lawsu

Well, I guess that's a personal question but the law is pretty clear that only a human being can "understand" anything.

Your TOS matters insofar as you can prove a person actually read and agreed to it. These are illegal in different ways: 1. Copyright violations (can put you in jail) 2. TOS violations (will be a fine at worst) Companies do get away with dr

They have billions of dollars, they're short on TIME. They want computers in racks now and (rightfully imo) look at yearslong approval processes with disgust. Look at Ashburn, VA - they extract loads of money from these companies, and

It does not take a decade to build a new power plant. Yes, if grid operators drag their feet companies will try to end-run them, but the solution isn't banning data centers it's making it easier to add proper capacity to the grid

Their purpose is to oppose/defend and research an opinion. IMO this is a good thing. How else would society organize resources to investigate political opinions? It's certainly a very partisan job and doesn't fit well into no

The point of a PWA is that instead of downloading an actual binary app, you essentially get a webpage that runs like it was an app. They can be installed from anywhere and are safe by nature because they're really just webpages. That

Can you buy a good laptop without parts controlled by the US? China has mastered lower parts of the value chain, but the most advanced and profitable ones (chips, turbines, frontier models) are solidly dominated by the US and its allies. Th
