One scenario I can think of is where search becomes less and less important for the web. Through years of consolidation you may appear in a landscape where there are well known monopolies on every front, and consumers don’t need to discover

As a Model S and now Model 3 owner, Tesla is at least decades away from anything close to Level 5. Car still does phantom braking on freeways after what 6 years of Autopilot?

Here’s the email copy. It very clearly states exactly what this is doing. Not sure what text you need to parse here “ We’ll only use information you already share This project will address discrimination that's based on perception—so w

An opt-in strategy has some challenges here as the data may become biased a cohort of users and you wouldn’t be able to tell whether rejections are due to discrimination or the natural course of business. And opt-out strategy allows for the

There is a direct click on the email that leads you to the setting page. I am using a gmail client, so not sure if the link doesn’t appear in other emails

Your post is disingenuous. I got the same email and it very clearly lays out that you can opt out of the settings. This was not hidden in some obscure T&C. You can click the opt out link on the email directly and opt out.

Valuation has only a fleeting relationship with revenue. In the traditional sense valuation is essentially the cash returned to shareholders discounted over time. Walmart’s margins are thin. That’s why their valuation is much lower

I mentioned in another post that I am a big proponent of moving to Canada, but I have my eyes wide open. Canadian salaries do not even come close. Also, I have filed taxes in CA for 12 straight years. The tax burden gets diluted by a lot of

This x100. I am looking forward for Vancouver to have a comparable concentration of tech jobs, that will motivate me to move to Canada

I am really skeptical of this idea that suddenly people will be moving to small cities. For one, this assumes that people just move to big cities to work. Is there any research to prove that ? For most people, especially when they are young

Feels like this incident is even more egregious than the George Floyd incident. In this case the police actually tried to frame the boyfriend, and probably would have gotten away with murder and convicting an innocent person if not for nati

Not blaming on Trump and Republicans? When the first round of peaceful BLM protests were going on, Trump went on rally after rally and called out BLM protestors thugs, conservative leaders pushed blue lives matter, Trump personally ensured

I don't think you know what you are talking about. California is experiencing the lowest level of gang violence ever. Oakland, LA, and San Francisco are seeing lowest homicide rates in decades. SF just had 35 homicides last year, compa

Lol, most gangs are coming from Central America and Mexico ?? Have you even heard of Bloods and Crips ? The most legendary gangs in the US ?

Why are American gangs not affected by gun control but European gangs are ? Is this some sort of American exceptionalism ?

How is this example relevant to the article ? The article discusses reducing the scope of policing, not end of policing. Not sure why this comment is upvoted.

Can you point to the phrase "white trash" in the statement above ? Trump, the defacto leader of Republican party, has said things that are 1000x worse

I don't see why not ? I also don't think we may not need Nordic country level taxation. Since the US treasury can print unlimited money and still see extremely low yields, why even raise taxes ?

I mean California had a $27bn deficit 10 years back, but ended up with a $15bn rainy day fund. Even back then, I heard the exact doom and gloom. I will wait and see how this plays out.

I have a Model 3. It still does phantom braking. Elon’s FSD claims are laughable and this story is just another data point

This is just a wave of low cost shoring. I work for a SV company and we are “offshoring” all our support from Midwest to Canada. I can see this trajectory play out for Stitch Fix and other companies. Pretty stylists here are commodity jobs
