What I'm saying is they don't sell the raw location data they've collected. There is a huge difference between derived analytics and the raw point-by-point device-linked location data. It's a reduction of multiple teraby

I'm in the space as well. I've tried telling my congressmen but they ignore me. I'm waiting for the backlash, especially will all the recent privacy issues. It hasn't happened yet and the problem is so large that I hones

Reusable grocery bags and tell the cashier you don't need bags when you're only buying a few things (just carry them out). Cashiers always default to putting even one item in a bag but just need some prompting to not do so. My wif

Wasn't Tesla's issue over-automation? Maybe the leave is symbolic of dedication to improving other capabilities - letting the other managers take time to balance things out. I'm sure Field appreciates the break, imposed or no

Poor examples - Ford produced only the Model T for two decades. Toyota has been around for 80 years.

I disagree with your first assertion :) And I have a long daily commute which takes a lot of time and energy that would otherwise be available for my family. I'd argue that the little interactions throughout a workday at home are more

No commute, homemade lunch, more family time...?

The remaining 20-30% is related to childhood nutrition, education, opportunities to play, learning from peer groups... all of which are heavily impacted by wealth/poverty. And 20-30% is A LOT. Luck plays as much of a role in wealth as

Somehow I don't think they would do this without their architecture being based on a pre-existing lower-resolution backup layer to maintain information and support. It's not like the model needs every piece of information coming o

Autopilot should not be accessible to drivers until their driving habits have been assessed and baselined. If autopilot is known to drive more safely than the individual human driver in environments X, Y, and Z then it should be made availa

StrongTowns has developed an extensive body of work investigating that problem. I'd highly recommend reading/following then, especially as urban development issues gain more traction. Having followed StrongTowns for the last two y

I disagree that all those questions (and probably most of the others he didn't list) need thorough discussion. A strong product head can define the vision that answers those very early on. Integrating with existing systems is definitel

Yes, that's a serious problem. The changes I suggested are not sufficient to fix the problems in the banking system, they're just features I would like to see (and apparently are being worked on, according to other responses). Thi

It's definitely an industry ripe for rebirth. For instance, I should be able to partition my money into several lightweight accounts - one for groceries, one for home expenses, investment, etc - and automatically have fractions of my d

I disagree with the premise. AI isn't like a nuclear warhead. It's not a machine for pure destruction. AI can be used as much to generate welfare as to damage - it's all in the application. Sharing methods benefits at least a
