While I understand your point, that is a massive overstatement. Apple doesn't go into the parking lot business because it isn't in their corporate charter[0], which outlines the companies' objectives, structure, and operation

That's not true. Here's just one example: fine-grained taxes are used to help influence behavior, improving public health. Mexico increased taxes on sugar [0], with the result being a fall in consumption. Raising this tax has caus

A company is not just a group of people. At least, any publicly-traded company has a legal obligation to it's shareholders. The job of the Board of Directors is to ensure that the company is performing as optimally as possible to earn

That's not entirely true. LA had a semi-successful program to build housing that ultimately decreased the cost of _other_ expenses like shelters and jail. The program ran into problems for exactly the reason you stated, even though it

Hardware is more than just processor though. They have had less storage, less memory, and worse cameras for many generations. I'd have to do some research into mobile processors specifically, but this is just broad statements. I'm

Apple devices have almost always been laughably overpriced for the hardware specs. Android phones are normally more powerful with longer lasting batteries and better cameras. Windows computers are cheaper with more performance and are highl

I wasn't aware of these, but with anecdotes like these then it makes perfect sense to have available remote human overrides! I don't mean to insinuate that maps is perfect, just that the number of times the cars will find themselv

Presumably Waymo has this traffic data by leveraging existing Android monitoring technology and can reroute accordingly. If you've ever used Google Maps for directions and come up to an accident or something you know it will suggest a

I dunno I can see this remaining small-scale for a while so Waymo can gather data about how people feel about the experience. I can see the backlash now if they were to suddenly unleash a battalion of fully autonomous vehicles on the unsusp

Roads in Chandler are very regular (nice, wide grid), and the weather is clear and sunny the vast majority of the days. The particular geography helps isolate the number of factors the car needs to consider besides "just" driving.

Oh wow, you're right! I hadn't seen that before, that's exciting. Thanks for the info!

But that's precisely the point. Just like HTML should be written with accessibility in mind, content ought to be provided with accessibility in mind. Obviously if you are going to a video-focussed site a la youtube you expect to watch

My office provides a license for Pluralsight. I have found some courses with high quality content and interesting information, and it's really useful to have it all in one place. BUT, especially with programming, I find video to be a r

Comical how? Check out their tech blog[0]. I'd venture a guess that they are the most technically adventurous news site, if not one of the more open corporations around in regards to trying new technology and writing about the experien

Maybe it's ok to let your employer know? It's not as if the desire to relocate could be solved by your current company if all of their operations are local. I suppose it depends on your manager, but hopefully if you said "Bos

But this part isn't science fiction, we already have AIs that do this. See AIVA for pretty good musical composition[0], new sites are using AI to write and compress news stories[1], and screeplays are being written via machine learning

Not only does the editor need to track project folders and open files, even something seemingly simple like syntax highlighting can be surprisingly complex[0]. The editor needs to be able to read your inputs (mouse and keyboard) and represe

Agreed! I use an SE because I already want my phone to be as small and basically incapable as possible (with decent UX), and then a laptop when I want to do something a bit more distracting. Text + maps + music is all I really want on me at

I don't think there's a simple yes/no answer to that. It fits somewhere between trademark and copyright legally, and probably depends on the degree of similarity.

Does anyone have reasons why I might choose Draw.io over Gliffy? One major reason I use Gliffy is for Confluence integration at work, but I'm not opposed to using another tool and uploading the images if it is better.
