Like the Borg, every Waymo is the same driver. So in column A, the insurance company has a meta-driver with many millions of miles of statistics. In column B, we have slow-reaction and non-lidar-equipped you, who had a fender-bender last

It’s fascinating how many government policies take 3 years and 11 months to implement.

I'm surprised at the remembering names part. That seems different. FWIW I used to have a terrible time remembering names. Then someone pointed out that it helps to actually pay attention when people are introducing themselves. One s

I’ll go a step further and say that we shouldn’t spend a single penny on homelessness that could instead be donated to cancer research. In fact, cancer research should receive zero funds that could instead be put towards care for needy ch

Many things are not other things. In this case, Disney Inc is staffed by people who care deeply about the Disney legacy. You’ll be hard pressed to find a single employee who was not awe-struck walking the halls on the first day.

That is an excellent distinction, thank you.

Watterson is motivated by integrity, I have no doubt of that. But Disney is also motivated --at least partly-- by integrity. Yes, they want to control profits, clearly. But I have no doubts they want to preserve the integrity of their c

It's disingenuous to suggest people are mainly interested in Watterson's ability to control the profits of C&H during his lifetime. No, it's because we cherish C&H's purity and are protective of it. I claim it

Whenever the topic of copyright comes up on HN, the prevailing view in comments section is that copyrights should be relatively short and cultural artifacts should be available to everyone to use as they please. So I find it interesting (&q

And yet prevailing views emerge.

HN: "We should be concerned about AI making it impossible for creative people to make a living in the future." Also HN: "Why should I have to pay for creative content?"

This funnels away money from the people who make the content.

It's kind of a freaky sound, yes, but seems to me that we wouldn't react like this if it wasn't called a skull whistle. Like, if it were sculpted like a puppy and called the Aztec Doggie Whistle.

It disappeared from HN front page within a couple of hours, even with over 150 points, and I couldn't find it again in first 5 pages before I gave up. HN ranking algo is really weird that way. You'd expect things to slide downwar

Your recollection is wrong. At any point in time, it has seemed like VCs and startups were chasing the same idea of the day. The joke in early 2010s was that every startup was "Uber for dogs." Also, to your comment "tech is

Not the same at all. Yes, that is a form of bullying, but it’s not nearly the same as having their own words, shared in confidence, blasted out to their peer group. But honestly, I can see you are fully committed to the premise that “thing

It really seems you have not seen the way kids bully each other these days. Example: two kids were friends a year ago shared a lot of personal thoughts with each other. Now guess what? That was all recorded, because it was all in chat. Fast

So Alex Jones is just doing an immersive comedy bit. But Alex Jones is also basing his claims on factual citations. "He's just joking! But he's also telling the truth." Got it.

The explanation asks us to imagine shining a flashlight through a tree, first changing the flashlight brightness and then changing its color. The flashlight is an analogy for a radio transmitter. We all get that they work on same princip
