If you are going slower you can make up for missing details, missing a brake signal, missing a pedestrian. Speed is the underlying reason accidents happen. No one is creeping at 2 MPH and just running into things, they have time to stop. Th

This isn't even true because the dataset compares against conditions IN THE CITY they operate in. They operate year-round in SF and in the same conditions human drivers do.

Housing won't be affected in LA because the issue is zoning + cost to get started. There are too many reviews blocking housing; it isn't blocked by warehouses being "more valuable" than housing in those lots

The comment here is glib and against community guidelines, but it should be somewhat obvious the ability for someone to be in the car and regulate poor behavior helps. Strangers in your (personally owned and financed) vehicle who could tras

Finance can have this at times; software engineering can have this at times as well (especially at the senior levels and in specialized fields OR at the startup level - people like working together and will often work together again).

Okay, are you able to at least see your vouchers and other credits? I currently have a $5 credit applied from a cancellation dispute so I think it should be working for all credits.

When you choose your payment method in the ride selection screen you should be automatically using credits (unless those credits are for something specific, like Eats, or something else). I'm able to see this in my Uber app today (set

Some people have an obligation to sell (option contracts must be honored, ETFs must be rebalanced, etc.) and this creates liquidity. Some people also have a lower risk tolerance (or want the money to put into something with more predictable

My interpretation is: it’s domestic overproduction because China isn’t exporting as much to US so it will consume domestically and then not have need for imports from the other SE Asia countries.

For those who have used the image generation models and even the text models to create things, there is no way you can look at the Disney-look-alike images and NOT see that as copyright infringement...

This will likely drive unemployment up. The retraction of capital from labor spending doesn't seem like a great thing overall, but I wonder where the money will go (does it go instead to scalable improvements like infrastructure/c

Yes, and we have never built artificial gravity and tested it in space, much less its effects on the body. I think this validates how rocket tech is not the limiting factor on reaching Mars.

No, the biggest hurdle is having astronauts survive the journey (health and successful landing/departure of Mars). It would be over 3 years in space to round trip to Mars with current tech. We haven't had an astronaut in space con

The FAA will actually fully investigate this as the issue COULD be due to pilot error or equipment failure. So it is still potentially an issue outside of the weather.

Yes, great source. filter that by Home vs the mobile category to see it is only beat by PlayStation. You could argue the Switch is a home console as well.

The Wii was on the of the best selling consoles of all time? I believe only surpassed by the PS2. Is the gimmicky a personal opinion or something you believe didn’t resonate with customers?

Out of curiosity, what happens after you do an Everest climb? Does the increased production in red blood cells stay? Is it similar to how high altitude training works on cardio sports today?

For sure, I think this does however line up with even younger folks who aren't going to generic clubs for a late night. They would just start earlier, bars/etc. and then end earlier. The full night bangers are definitely still ver

Yeah, I don't think you are going to taste much of that in a stew (which is by definition a soggy mush). As noted you don't want to use this for anything fresh where mostly fresh vegetables will be superior.

Interesting. My experience in NYC even with folks in the 20s is they prefer going out BEFORE it gets super late, with the super late nights only happening for shows (where the DJ/main act doesn't come on till 1:30 AM). I've a

Taxing the previously subsidized usage of those roads is a start. See NYC's recent starter congestion tax. It still has a long way to go, but we can certainly improve the world slowly!
