Is it discrimination if it is rooted in an objectively good reason? You also can't rent a car in a lot of places until you are 25.

The reason I can't stand debates like this is that the "most right" answer is highly dependent on the details of the organization. Strong opinions are borne from bad experiences and people tend to generalize the patterns they

The details are scant, but it sounds like the vehicle is going to be quicker to disable autopilot if it thinks you aren’t paying attention. I’m curious to see what this amounts to because Autopilot is already pretty sensitive to this. Pick

The most interesting part of their pivot to vision is how none of the disaster scenarios people were so sure of seem to have come true. Meanwhile FSD is better than ever and there are millions of miles per month being logged.

Haven’t managed to deliver anything viable? There are millions of miles of FSD driving being logged every month. I use it all the time and it’s pretty damned good today. Recalls for Tesla just amount to OTA updates that regulators have aske

I’m all for the shady dealings and real power structures that drive the app stores to be exposed, so I applaud this ruling and that Epic saw this through. The product person in me does wonder what the experience of using an App Store is goi

This. Who cares about top end speed when I can reliably pull ahead of any other vehicle on the road in my Model Y? I use that capability regularly. I'd literally never go 100+mph - that's a novelty.

I'm a cilantro lover and it's just interesting how different my characterization probably is from yours. I wouldn't classify it as bitter in the least bit. To me, it's the purest taste of "freshness". I don&#x2

Maybe interesting and controversial takes will be one of the things (hopefully not the only thing) that are left to humans who are willing to put them forward.

If you plan on keeping a car for 17+ years you must know you are in a small minority. And even so, I’d be more willing to bet on a manufacturer with a deep software integration. Software can be updated, and continuously improving software i

When you say a failure for cars, let's get more specific. As far as driving experience goes, I'd say it's pretty fantastic. The handling, acceleration, level of customizability - it's unlike any ICE vehicle on the road.

If you want syncing between platforms to avoid double bookings and automated messaging, you need to use a third party.

Extreme example - I’m just a guy with an Airbnb as a side hustle. (Barely even a real business!) I’m pretty thoughtful about taking on new software subscriptions, but I currently pay for: - Guesty (calendar management & guest messaging)

Strokes suck to say the least. All the best wishes to someone so kind and smart, I’m glad it sounds like it was only minor. Something I really wish I knew immediately after my mom had a stroke is that the recovery that often happens over th

Glad to see this! Waze, while still an excellent routing and traffic utility, has felt stagnant and neglected for years. There’s so much room for improvement over Google or Apple Maps with features like this. I’d say I’m surprised by the la

The way that society has completely acquiesced to constant monitoring and tracking - not necessarily by governments, but by one another - completely blows my mind. I’ve had coworkers casually and shamelessly pull up their living room camera

There has definitely been a lasting effect in that gay men who have resources tend to be very well educated and proactive about their health. Everyone is on PreP. As a result of that, condom use has definitely become the exception and not t

This exactly. Reading the comments and understanding the huge gap between perception and reality of FSD is eye opening. There are a lot of armchair experts here who wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Tesla but are so confident in their under

If FSD drivers were having to constantly intervene because the car couldn’t accurately map obstacles, we’d be hearing a lot more about it. I drive with FSD all the time - I could give you a list of things it needs to improve on, but not a s

Tesla reported that there were 400,000 cars in the US and Canada who had access to FSD Beta in January 2023, so I don’t think that’s at all hard to believe. Edit: Looks like back in January they were adding 10M cumulative miles driven per m

I don’t know about “do anything in front of the car”… it’s still a several thousand pound mass that isn’t exempt from the laws of physics… but I for one would be MUCH more willing to be a cyclist on the road if most of the cars were autonom

We keep hearing this is crazy, but is there evidence to back that up? At this point with hundreds of thousands of Tesla vehicles logging millions of miles a month, I feel like we’d be hearing non-stop reports of destruction on the highways

If I thought we had a chance against the police union, I'd suggest we co-found a computer vision startup that does the same job for free ;)

Doesn’t sound that different from traffic control details in Massachusetts. While I don't know the details of their agreements first hand, I believe they are required by law to be off-duty cops, they are expensive, and have something l

I work for a large tech company that gives me complete optionality around where I work. What was largely an in-person culture has turned into one that is almost entirely remote and geographically distributed. For us, "remote work"

I stayed in a 2200sqft new construction luxury condo for the same price as a 450sqft hotel room with one bed last week. Provided not in NYC, but the experience in many markets is one that hotels can’t touch.

The most fascinating thing about the “takedown of Airbnb” is how disconnected this narrative is from reality. This one article is mostly about NYC (and forward looking) but it’s part of a larger tapestry of “Airbnb is dead”, “nobody uses Ai

There’s so much emphasis of government use of these tools, but I’m a lot more weary of a world where consumers have easy access to facial recognition. Pimeyes is a free and shockingly effective way to figure out who someone in a photo is. H
