I think the main point illustrates that they are designing self driving systems under the assumption a human can correct for error. That assumption appears to be flawed when looking at other domains. People pay less attention the 10% of t

A friend of mine just did a TCO spreadsheet comparing the Model S with various assumptions of depreciation to an Audi, Infiniti, Suburu Outback, and a few other vehicles. Even assuming 70% depreciation the cost per mile was less than most

It's confusing that you don't understand the difference of a blog that you have to click on and choose to read vs a personal interaction or meeting where you can't leave.

Congrats! Good to see a Clojure based stack going places. We use it and have been super happy with it.

>> Fewer than half of first-time home buyers can afford to purchase a median-priced home, and rents are increasing faster than incomes, especially for the middle class. Dafuq? Isn't that the definition of the median?

I do think income inequality is an issue. In part because people above a certain threshold have no pain when they get towed, get a traffic citation or go to the doctor. The people below suffer greatly and enter economic ruin even if they

The youth of today tend to focus way too much on the impracticalities and expense of driving. I have friends that live in SF and never drive anywhere, but they also don't like to do anything that isn't city related. Going to Yos

So with our currency if it becomes wildly deflationary with a single penny buying a car--how do you buy a cup of coffee? That is the practical problem with deflation. With bitcoin it can always be made smaller.

Bitcoin is only fixed at that now, it can change as needed.

The Target hack a month back effected my wife. Paying with bitcoin would have removed the possibility of her account being compromised shifting the burden to the retailer. All kinds of possibilities are there to mitigate that risk: cold s

That's only people that read the 101 level of how the economy works and don't consider that bitcoin is infinitely divisible practically, unlike gold.

I too moved from RTP to SF. The two biggest reasons I had a desire to leave NC were the technical aptitude and proximity to the beautiful places. On the technical aptitude side, I remember more than one drunken conversation with Russian n

To put it another way, for me, I am way less happy making $75K than I am now. That's even considering I have to do more to get the extra income. The way I read the original article is that most people pursue things like luxury goods,

I think you've missed the point. The point is there is some amount of money that affords you the ability to do what you want. Possessions have the effect of tying you down. Buying a house, assuming you get a mortgage, is a huge expen

For me personally I know it's way more than $75k but less than $200k. I have expensive hobbies and like to to travel without blowing my savings.

Works bombs, mixing Works Toilet Cleanser and Aluminum foil in a 2L plastic bottle were popular in my high school. I can't imagine the charges the children would get today if they were brown. Lucky for them they lived in rural NC.

That's why you have multiple wallets, which you can create with a click of a button. It's effortless to create as many wallets as required for you to feel safe.

The issue is the news is usually out of context. Last week a video of a BASE jumper smashing into a cliff got a lot of airplay. The same week 100 jumpers were jumping 4 times a day without incident in the same area. There were some obvio

You've entirely missed the point. News is bad because it focuses on the sensational and misses the actionable. Ie bitcoin articles focus on the speculative aspect and not that it's a more useful, less friction method of payment.
