> I don't think that's up to Waymo, it's a legal thing mostly. The city has to allow that. Did the SFPUC make a change to disallow that then, because point-to-point is how Waymo worked in SF as recently as a month or so

If I understand it correctly, if I build an Android app, I can offer in-app payments through a variety of integrations: Google, Stripe, Amazon, etc. If I build an Apple app, in-app payments can only be offered through the Apple payment syst

Teaching math is not a substitute for teaching general problem-solving skills.

100%. Incidentally (obviously) that also applies to teachers, restaurant workers, and others who aren't fortunate enough to be among the tech Eloi.

An hour and 14 minutes??? Please, for the love of God, get to the point, man.

I might be. I also commuted downtown from the outer Richmond for years, on the 31, the 38, the 1, and the 5. Oh, I've seen plenty of crazy stuff, but only one assault.

Can you quote my question back to me and point out the presumption that the person is likely to disagree with?

There's always a first time.

I don't think you understand what "loaded question" means.

I've ridden the 22 through the Mission at midnight every Tuesday for much of the last seven years. I assure you that's exactly as much as I thought I do.

I'm sorry. You lost me.

I've been riding MUNI for 25 years. The only assault I saw was a drunk office worker on his way home on the 31AX.

What do you mean by the type of people who will be riding in them?
115.
by dventimi 2y ago
I feel you. Thing is, I think there is a solution or at least part of one, on paper. We know what to do. Trouble is, we can't do it because of politics, politics that transcends the usual divisions. It's hard to have a tech utop

No idea. I'm just reporting on what's already actually happened in the past (my ride experiences) instead of speculating on what might happen in the future.
