And loss of negotiating power -- the company knows your BATNA is garden leave, and probably not a better offer.

Neither will roads. Let's defund them!

How is where to work and live not a lifestyle choice?

If ~$200/mo is enough for you to quit your job in Manhattan, it's clear you weren't happy in the first place. Congestion pricing has done you a service.

Curbside parking still has opportunity costs. Why dedicate scarce publicly owned space in NYC to subsidize suburbanites, when it could benefit New Yorkers?

Sounds like you might enjoy a recumbent bicycle. For a "bike" to balance you need a certain level of physical/mental engagement. How much value are you really getting from the self driving aspect, even if it were feasible, at

...the engineering team? I'm confused by this idea that engineering teams are not responsible for software quality. Who else would be? My experience with separate QA teams was not encouraging. They dramatically slowed down releases whi

Bike share programs already exist and are pretty popular in NYC. Self driving doesn't really seem necessary at that scale.

My impression is that the shared ride options on Lyft/Uber only give a small discount and see little usage. Sharing rides is only more difficult and less attractive for Waymo users, who won't have a third party to buffer interacti

It's not so much "why sell the car" but more "who is going to buy this car?" Plus, without maintenance the self-driving capability will probably degrade and become unsafe.

Black cars existed before Uber and Lyft -- in fact, that was how Uber started. Uber, in fact, still offers black cars (professional drivers) as an option.

Google does not separate dev and QA in general (I'm sure there are exceptions).

Go has a lot less going on than Rust partially because compile times were a priority.

It's not whataboutism, because NYPD has limited resources to enforce traffic laws. The way they've chosen to allocate their resources here is ridiculous. > Running red lights is dangerous, period. Do you feel the same way about

Look, DoorDashers on mopeds on sidewalks are annoying, but drivers in NYC kill hundreds, maim thousands, and hit tens of thousands every year. Add to that the fact that NYPD is NOT focusing on dangerous behaviors or mopeds, and it's cl

The reporting of the 2022 sunken car carrier did not mention EVs, saying that only "Porches and Bentleys" were lost. Even if the cars themselves have no fuel, the ship has lots of it. https://www.reuters.com/world&

Yeah, in a city a bike and a car are about the same speed -- until you have to find parking, and then the bike is faster. Do you feel so strongly about pedestrians crossing when it is safe regardless of whether they have the walk signal? Th

The highway system does not pay for itself with usage fees; last I checked 50% of its funding came from the general fund.

Meh, I've worked on services with in languages with a DI framework (Java+Guice or Spring Boot) and not (C++, Go) and the latter is much nicer. And yeah some had Xm requests. You just dispense with all the frippery that hides the fact t

This market of people willing to spend thousands to run large LLMs locally -- and still slowly -- has to be tiny. Plus, there's competitors using AMD CPUs that provide 128GB with 500GB/s of bandwidth (8xDDR5-8000) for just $2K now

Do you not debug, optimize, analyze ...? Copilot is especially valuable for throwaway (or nearly throwaway) log parsing/analysis, for example.

Why would your primary work device be running an OS not supported by the device vendor? That's just bizarre. I use Linux as my primary OS, and while Proton/Steam are pretty good now I'm still rebooting into (unactivated) Wind

Get a sleep mask. They're opaque, so they block more light, and they don't cover your nose or mouth. Contoured sleep masks won't interfere with your eyelashes, helping reduce dry eye further.

BART can fix that by building dense mixed use -- office, commercial, and residential -- around their stops.

This is the idiomatic way in C++. I'm not even sure what your proposed alternative is -- as other commenters have noted, an exception or "panic" are not actual options. Every pointer dereference, array access, and even intege

Centralized stores are only superficially consumer friendly. The store owner is too well positioned to rent seek, and they will inevitably do so -- as Apple in fact is.

We did have sensible measured policy to incentivize high value manufacturing in the US: the CHIPS act and the IRA. They were working, and cost peanuts relative to the damage to the economy this administration's policy has already done.
