This whole things feels like the corporate equivalent of "I can't let me spouse travel. I don't trust they won't cheat on me." If a company doesn't have any way to determine employee worth other than counting h

I think this is an edge case where intuition breaks down. I'm not sure if my intuition is broke or yours. My intuition is that, if you publish something online and let me read it, I can use that knowledge. I can NOT flat out duplicate

Is three times a pattern yet? I love my FSD, and I though Autopilot was great (I got both when they were much cheaper)... but neither name matches the functionality.

The sound made my mind bounce off this. I don't know why but I found the audio caused an anxiety response. (For me, much better on mute)

I'm not sure how the 'actually delivered' would be enforced. Does Google have an affirmative requirement to deliver a 3rd parties message? I hope not. My gmail address received 35 emails yesterday (which didn't get spam

It's also clear that the floor between levels doesn't have insulation. I'm not sure where the OP got that all the blocks/insulation was the same.

I think you are missing the point though. I haven’t had to ‘go get gas’ for 4 years. People probably argued “getting water from the well isn’t that hard compared to maintaining all this infrastructure”… but none of us want to go back to tha

This seems like a very specific subset of possible companies though. Having a digital product is a cheat mode for scaling with a small team. You can have a 20 person global messaging service. You can’t have a 20 person state post office.

There are economics papers about ‘the vanishing middle’ that explain why products go bimodal. (I can’t find them right now; google-foo is failing me.) The gist I remember is that people lock onto a single differentiator: normally cost or qu

This is a good example of where they is extra confusing too. It would be better if English had separate singular/plural versions of they. If Sarah goes by ‘they’, “They was pissed” sounds wrong and most people would actually speak “the

How does that remove the condensation though? That's the cause of the mold problem. Edit: looks like somehow it moves moisture between the exhaust/intake somehow... not just heat.

That's an issue with the headline; not Waymo. The Waymo blog post is clear they are comparing their robo-only-driver with human-only-drivers.

2019 here; I love it… but… FSD beta I use everyday, but it is still not feature complete with what was promised “within a year” The bottom of the car is literal cardboard, held on by plastic versions of rivnuts. They come out really easy an

That’s a bit of a tangent though. All of rail (even in Poland) is based on the assumption that stopped=safe.

So I’m an engineer in the passenger rail industry who often reviews and has input into the HTL (hazard tracking log). Stopping the train is assumed 100% safe for passengers and crew. (Edit: you might be able to find some of these online, as

That’s all true, but I still think it is a reasonable goal. Having the technology to be self sustaining in another world has the ‘side-effect’ of letting us be self-sustaining on earth… reducing the risks human pose to ourselves. That said,
