We are trying! Cars get ever more fuel efficient, there's more investment in public transit than ever, Britain is interested in nuclearizing again, carbon offsets are widely purchased and many of our most energy hungry companies are fi

It can and does happen at the local shopping mall, where middle schoolers too young to drive a car play hooky and go to the mall. "Car centric urban design" is the catch all ill and if we just fixed transit it would go away. Excep

The bit about ad revenue was actually specifically called out here as probably not the story. The interesting part to me is the overall positive sentiment towards tech in general, because you are right - at least for specific companies, sen

It's the same justice system. The unfortunate fact is that as the prosecutor in the OP lays out, it is not State's job to make sure every single legal advantage is pressed to the fullest. Acquiring solid legal representation is a

It's often not about learning more, the techniques and methods in Casey Muratori's streams are often very well understood and even taught in school. Dismissing people as just being there for the paycheck - that's you and ever

The corporate sausage making machine is merely only doing what it's customers want, for the price they'll pay, nothing more, nothing less. A lot of these are good impulses but also feel like an unfunded mandate, like rear back up

What is and is not acceptable for minors to access is decided by parents or by politics. This is pretty standard and applying 1A concerns is weird.

That really depends on the reader. ElasticSearch is a company, and made its product open source as a growth strategy, it worked! However , it is difficult in general for these open source companies to compete with Amazon's managed offe

Absolutely bless. People are mad about whatever dumb thing Elon did with Twitter this week. Even when applied to Twitter, the question presents itself: Are you really happy with what it was before? The only path from "then" to &qu

Pushing back on the "late capitalism" vibe, the market cares about certain things over others because people have a limited amount of everything and wish to spend it on things they want - the way you make billions of dollars on a

Money needs to have a return, even internally. Saying "we can afford it" buys you goodwill, but the same way employer goodwill towards employees shifts with the wind, so does consumer and employee sentiment. People do not generall

Do we know if CoPilot X was trained on AGPL, not just GPL? Additionally I'm not sure if AGPL does anything. I suspect the ethics and such of licensing when large fractions of work are training AI and using AI need to be worked out rath

They've only "cornered" access to LEO because they vastly outperform the competition in almost every conceivable category. That should get you a short term monopoly.

Then that means that office politics optimizers were able to make Boeing, Lockheed, and NASA look like jokers at something they'd been doing for decades. If I thought this about SpaceX management and ex employees was representative of

The right way to think about this is that right now, "health insurance" is a subscription service to Healthcare, and is treated like one. The problem is that due to highly variable costs between people, everyone has to play games

This is just patently false. There are lots of major metros in the US that are plenty urban and walkable. SFBA is desirable because Google is there and willing to pay any amount of money for real estate.

Not really. If they had all the leverage pay would be zero and hours would be infinite.

Having to take any transfer at all adds fifteen minutes to a trip, scheduling issues and a life pattern that routinely had me in Fremont, Bellevue, etc. Went to SoDo a fair bit and that was always an extreme chore despite the short distance

I put my car in storage, it was doable but it wouldn't have been without uber, going anywhere via transit would've involved at least one twenty minute transfer. I mostly just hoofed it everywhere, but it did limit my access substa

The big issue here was with financing political spend as a corporation, and the finding was that there is no law today that stops corporate political spend. The reasoning was along the lines that because corporations are people, and most or

The median income in king county WA is 100k, we can deduce that Amazon devs make quite a bit more than that from levels. I was more inaccurate or perhaps outdated with the 1% figure, turns out it's 600k. But in every possible universe,
