How would splitting Instagram work from a technical perspective? Engineers have spent 8 years building shared code and data centers for FB and IG. I'd expect it would take hundreds of people and multiple years to untangle them.

Kind of funny that this "clean" ship is being used to transport cars.

Depends where you live. For me, an Uber Pool to the nearest grocery store is about $5. I could do 40 round trips a month for the cost of insurance and a parking spot.

You're saying it's good that the majority of people who are not in cars live in constant fear for their lives?

You'd be surprised at how much fits in a good backpack or set of panniers. A bike trailer is also an option if you really need a lot, and as a side benefit you can carry your kids in it when you're not grocery shopping. Delivery i

For one obvious example, the people who legitimately need to rely on cars will spend less time sitting in traffic.

One example of a bad outcome is enough for you to decide that driverless cars are unacceptably dangerous? Take a look at number of collisions per mile driven and reconsider.

If you only need a car for 10% of trips, why not take taxis? It would likely be cheaper and easier (no hassles with parking in the city).

I said "most people" won't need cars. I think you'd agree that most people do not struggle to walk short distances.

Street parking can and should be removed even without driverless taxis, but I agree that the taxis reduce the amount of ammunition people have to fight the change.

It's hard for me to imagine how it could get worse in the short term. I encounter the following from human drivers on a regular basis, and I can't imagine any reasonable software doing them: * Notice me attempting to use a crosswa

Driverless cars are going to be much better than driverful cars in cities since they follow the rules and behave predictably. But I do wish cities would get on board with the clear win of reducing the need for cars. SF is small enough that

How is that funny or surprising? Every source that mentions political leaning of news media says they're right wing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Post https://www.allsides.com/news-source

I personally have no idea what painting accomplishments exist and how much they mean, but I do have a vague idea of what RISD is, so that's more useful to me.

Fixing cars is of course learnable; we all know that mechanics exist. But computing hardware is usually built by really complicated machines. I honestly don't know whether it's possible for a person to make a CPU.
