In what way? He was unambiguously punished, and it was unambiguously because he ditched the plane. The only point of contention is whether the ditching was justified or not. Hence “arguably” in my original statement.

Baseless conspiracy theories just make yourself dumber; it doesn’t punish Facebook.

The client probably just downloads a blacklist of banned domains. That doesn't mean messages that are sent are not E2E encrypted.

No? Insurance costs would be passed through to consumers in the form of up-front purchase price. And probably the cost to insure L5 systems for liability will be very low. If it isn't low, the autonomous system isn't very safe.

It isn't fully autonomous yet. For any future system sold as level 5 (or level 4?), I agree with your contention -- the manufacturer of the level 5 autonomous system is the one who bears primary liability and therefore should insure.

Tesla FSD is leagues behind Waymo; generalizing based on your Tesla experience doesn't make sense.

Maybe. That level of safetyism seems pretty unreasonable when humans are 100x worse and still allowed on the road.

It does seem fast to me -- school zones are 20 mph in Seattle, at least when children are present. But Google suggests 25 is the norm in Santa Monica, where the incident occurred.

Your opinion of "most humans" is vastly overinflated. The median human driver would be going 5 over the speed limit, on their cell phone, and paying fuck all attention. Humans never drive as slow as 17 mph, even in the context

They're very cool in theory. My impression from the EngineeringExplained guy's experience isn't great. And Lucid does something similar to Tesla where too much (IMO) is controlled through the touchscreen.

What's their competition on the high end? Porsche, Cadillac? Do Rivian or Genesis count?

If you say so.

Much less severe than 2001, where tech lost 250,000 jobs peak to trough (~18.5% from 2001 to 2003). Current downturn from peak (2022) is about 80,000 jobs (~3.2%). The timeframe for this period is longer and the magnitude is much lower.

Well. Maybe not quite as hot as 2022. But by any standard from a year before 2020, yeah.

2008 was a lot worse.

A "form of collusion" that requires no coordination between participants and no secrecy simply isn't collusion.

Sure, it waxes and wanes. 2022-2023 were probably above average layoff years, while 2020-2021 before that were probably below average years. I think layoffs have fallen since 2023 rather than staying elevated, but I haven't attempted

Meta also does something like 5% in unregretted attrition a year. I just don't know why you think AMZN wouldn't include those people in layoffs preferentially to higher performers.
