Ok, I agree with you on the specific, but my point was directed at the general case where there is some value added by one article over another.

At no point should the system have to "[tell] the driver to take over immediately", because the driver should always be in control. That is the point of the assist technology: to act as a backup for driver error. The driver is not

While this comment is off-topic or meta, I think this is an important point about how to view paywalls. If paywalled articles are being shared and voted for, that's a signal to how valuable the content behind the paywall is. If paywall

The hands on the steering wheel is a proxy for paying attention. That's really the key point of these "assist" features: you need to be paying attention just as much as you would be otherwise. Unfortunately, this reduces thei

There are a fair number of "open air" parking lots that I see when just taking a look at satellite imagery. The second step would be increasing density on Shattuck (lots of single story buildings on or near) or increasing density

I hope "Ecocity Berkeley"[0] (written 1987!) can become a reality. It's exactly the idea that many have commented about: increase density, increase parks, and reduce sprawl. This is a vision to strive for instead of just pres

Thank you for pointing that out. I still think it is useful to make the argument explicitly and separately and see where people land. The percentages of people that support limited term prop 13/rent control may be larger than the perce

I think less developments happen when there is uncertainty about whether or not approval would be granted.

We could then re-evaluate rent control on the same logic! I think both of these controls have some helpful effects that last way longer than they should. We are trying to damp market oscillations (speculation), not remove them completely! P

That states an intuitive statistical fact about spacial unevenness of economics but it does not necessarily correspond to a reasoning why you should add it as a variable. Based on the abstract of this paper, we don't know whether addin

I didnt say anything about robots. Labor efficiency is not just about having a robot take your order, it's the difference between a McDonald's where all the parts are pre-assembles elsewhere and a mom and pop joint where someone i

That paper does not give a lot of motivation for why it uses the control that most strongly changes the results: heterogeneous (space) time variance. Why would it look like minimum wage increases decrease employment when considering US macr

In a competitive market where less labor is an option, companies that use less labor would have a larger advantage thanks to a higher minimum wage. This would encourage automation and decrease employment. In a competitive market where using

Which suggests that rent control is not about protecting those that need low cost housing. It's also interesting the one-on-one adversarial relationship that rent control creates. What is the goal of rent control? Presumably it's

I don't think a car analogy is apt because a car isn't self-repairing like many biological processes.

I would be less likely to rob someone if I thought I would get killed. Maybe that's what the parent poster was getting at.

I'd also like to suggest that a lot of the price increases in the SF bay area are related to difficulty developing new units. The intention of the land tax is to increase the usage (density) of valuable areas; however, that requires be

I think your statement requires some justification. After a property has changed hands, the speculative value has gone away with the seller (who was a landholder but is no longer). The new landholder paid for the cash flow at market rates a

Competition will not resolve the issue of taxes being passed on, because all properties will have an increased tax burden. The smallest tax/rent increase will go to those using the land relatively optimally (to be decided by tax survey
