Hopefully the FAA holds Uber to a higher standard than the Arizona DOT did. Uber's history and culture of skirting regulation is concerning when it comes to aviation.

Simply shutting them down probably wasn't the best solution, but those institutions were generally more geared towards locking people away than recover & treatment.

This solution doesn't take into account basic supply & demand though. There is a significant demand for housing in SF & the bay area. If housing is provided for free or even below market, demand will come from far & wide.

I'm just thankful those old cyanobacteria weren't environmentally conscious. None of these modern Eukaryotic species would be around if they hadn't happily 'polluted' the entire planet with oxygen.

Cost of housing is a big one. Low housing costs and plenty of space available make the homeless problem both less likely and easier to deal with.

This does seem excessive, but I'd like to see a more detailed breakdown of spending. SF vs. Manhattan is a better comparison as New York city as a whole has more/cheaper space available than SF.

Who says we should save it? Perhaps having 47,000 clones with zero genetic diversity has resulted in a population that is unable to adapt, especially vs. species with more genetic diversity. Why does this population deserve saving rather th

They are profitable in many cities, they basically just reinvest 100% of profits in geographic expansion. Amazon did the same thing, and investors said the same thing, and look how that turned out.

What's wrong with banning voice calls? It would be incredibly annoying to have to sit next to someone yelling into a phone on a 4+ hour voip call during a flight.

The numbers are not labeled in lights. Although this pic is blurry, this is SFO with both runways open: https://i.redd.it/hguxuyztxzdz.jpg The night of the accident, the left runway was closed and lights were turned off..

I'm surprised that remote video cameras aren't used by tower controllers. The perspective of the control tower makes it difficult to catch issues like this, but a simple video camera aligned with the center-line of each runway wou

There's definitely not an oversupply of skilled labor, there is just a ton of noise in the hiring process right now. Our software engineering job posts on LinkedIn & Indeed generate hundreds of applicants per day, the vast majority

If the majority of the profit really is made by the 'subsidy' or delta between what companies can get away paying vs. the value provided by the low-skill worker, then it would be easy for other companies to come in and take advant

There is a lot more area in the ocean and seaweed grows very quickly. Perhaps we could even accelerate the sequestration by building large seaweed farms over the deep ocean, then sinking the seaweed once it grows large enough, & repeat

There have been a few studies that searching for parking causes a significant amount of congestion. According to this theory, Uber/Lyft may actually be reducing traffic by encouraging fewer people to drive across the city & search

Interesting, that instinct to Google for the answer is actually one of the 'culture fits' that we look for. There are a surprising number of candidates & engineers that simply give up when they encounter a hard problem.

Untruths and lies are rarely black and white. There was a time when the heliocentrism was considered a lie. A time when men & women being equal was considered an untruth. If sufficient people are interested in a speaker/idea, isn
