I'm actually surprised no one has mentioned crypto as an alternative. This is one of the (very) few use cases where it might make sense if implemented properly.

You really need to look at which vehicles were at fault in these accidents. In the vast majority of cases, it's not the autonomous vehicle.

Revenue is not profit. Especially early on, you're probably burning most or all of that just to make the money in the first place.

Has YCom published stats on % of applicants coming from underrepresented groups? I'm especially curious about the gender split given the 10% female founders number in this batch.

Seems pretty obvious that it's expensive compared to the alternatives . Which in this case are regular LCD panels. Yes I know, the use cases are slightly different, power consumption is much lower, etc. etc. Doesn't matter - m

What's interesting to me is that he started with a successful business model that really did change the industry for the better in a few ways (better hours, better customer service, etc.). The greed and sociopathy turned that into fra

I thought the same thing initially, but it turns out it’s a local effect probably tied to the yuppie demographic I live in. More broadly, there was a baby bust: https://www.brookings.edu/research/early-evidence-of-missi

Not really from what I’ve seen. There’s a rabbit hole of research reports, but the key chart is shown here: https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/what-is-a-solar-farm-do-i-... Maybe 10-15% of total cost depending on instal

On the financial cost side, use a credit card that is only for the side business. Then you can easily use that card whenever you buy something and look at the end of month totals. For time, I personally divide days into quarters instead of

I would argue complacency + selfishness + a small amount of ignorance. Some people really do not know that you shouldn’t get in the left lane unless you plan to pass a vehicle or want to drive faster than your current lane. A lot of people

Rent is not the entire housing bucket (only 35% of Americans don’t own a home) and it’s also not uniform. If you have a house with a fixed mortgage, your housing cost has increased by probably about the increase in property tax due to ass

I recommend giving Fusion 360 a try before you switch to mesh modeling. You lose so much when you leave parametric behind if you want to do anything practical for hardware / manufacturing or even 3D printing.

You don't seem to have a good understanding of the difference between the kind of war Russia is waging on Ukraine right now and an all-out war with all options on the table. The two are not comparable.

I also work in the industry. You've got a couple misconceptions here about how AVs actually work. First, virtually all processing to determine what to do on the road is done locally, in real-time. Relying on internet connectivity wo

Fwiw, I work in the sector and track the TCO comparisons for business modeling. Unless there’s a major shift (ex. Resurgence of tax rebates), you’re looking at 2025-2026 being the sweet spot where EVs will have plentiful options and actuall

It always frustrates me when people make false equivalences between techno-economic and socio-political tasks as though they are zero-sum. Let's take homelessness in California as an example. It's a problem that requires zero ne

I don't think that's right. Houses in desirable cities are expensive because the land is expensive [1]. And to a lesser extent the permitting and planning processes are onerous. The construction itself for a normal "stic

What? I think you're living outside the norm in America. The new religion is very much political parties rather than any kind of tech fandom for the large majority of Americans.

If you can actually contact the IRS at all. I called multiple times last year and wasn’t even able to be put on hold, just “sorry we have too many people trying to contact us, try later”. If you do actually get a hold of someone, IRS is hel

Here's the why: all of those vaccination requirements are known to people before they enter the job/school/military. That is wholly different from being in a profession and then one day being told you have to get vaccinate

Do you have kids? Among my friends group there was a very stark change in home-type preference between when people were childless and when they had kids.

Where are you seeing that? Here's the latest CPI [1]. Click "show table" for the full info. Food is at 7%, housing at 4.4%, clothing at 5.3%, etc. I don't have the 2022 weights for each category handy, but here'

The question wasn't "is this supply/demand driven?", it was "is this transitory or not?". Items like car prices are likely transitory and will return to pre-covid levels once supply chain issues get worked out

Not sure what stats you're looking at. In the US it's about 80% of women [1] and 60% of men [2]. More interesting to me is the overall downward trend in fertility rates. [1] https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-ri

Magnetic couplings for the motors was a fun way to tackle this without needing to drill anything or use gaskets. I wonder what the efficiency loss due to friction is in comparison to a traditional drive shaft through a gasket.
