That those things would have been invented anyway, because science and technology progresses even without gov't intervention.

It would probably exist either way.

There's an argument that all those things would have been invented eventually anyway. There was no need to spend 100s of billions of dollars for basically a photo-op.

Can anybody find the data set from which they created the graph? I tried browsing https://data.sfgov.org/browse but there's nothing that immediately refers to "autonomous vehicles", "incidents" or t

Came in here to mention something similar. Seems wishful thinking that New York would owe something to anybody that grew up there. If anything, growing up there should give you the opportunity to have a network already, that would be a loca

No disagreement here. I personally think cars should be (mostly) removed from cities. It's incredible how much you can get done on a bike on a proper bike path + the rest 10% of cases could be handled by public transit.

They are banned from sidewalks.

Excellent vote from the people of Paris! It's too easy to take these things on the sidewalk, go 20mph and disregard the people around you. Those things also weight quite a bit, so getting hit with that may be life altering.

What is it with these password requirements? This is not my gmail account or my bank – just let me create an account faster!

Makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, anything that gets hush-hushed or moved to confidential may spark even more controversy than if it were out in the open. So imo you can only be in 1 of 2 states: all-in or not at all.

Small tip: You should let it autoplay. Some recs are better than others and if I let it play in the background a good song will catch my attention.

Comparable jobs (i.e. a software job for a software layoff) or just jobs (lots of server positions out there)?

Could be very useful for people learning a new language! (consider marketing to language learning subreddits / communities). I would find it useful for that exact purpose, however, I think 500 words might be too much. 150-200 is good e

Good info, thanks

Interesting info -- but I was mostly referring to the gas / oil consumed to heat up the office for 100 people vs. heat up 100 individual residences.

by shtopointo 4y ago
Couldn't the opposite be argued as well? Everybody spending 8 more hours at home means so much more individual heating, whereas before, when you went into the office you'd turn the heating off. Also as someone else pointed, workin

I was wondering the same thing -- how could one measure my productivity? (as a software engineer) The best connection I could think of is something related to the company output, but in a market downturn I could be working 12 hour days, and

This might be a very stupid question, but how do they measure productivity for knowledge workers ? What does it mean that a software engineer is less productive? Or a stock trader? Or various other knowledge jobs?

I’m glad the WSJ is covering that but have you checked energy prices in Europe when compared to last year? Newspapers can say whatever, the reality on the ground is that energy prices have gone up 5-10x in the past year. Some problems are n

by shtopointo 4y ago
Well I'm glad the EU decided to tackle important subjects. Not like they have a monetary and energy crisis going on at the moment.

The practical side of WFH is what gets me – you're right, given that you can work from anywhere, why would a company pay top-city dollar when the same job can be done in a similar timezone by someone else who is still ok, but charges h

IMO, maybe some technologies do make sense for certain team sizes. I haven't worked much with React, although every time I did, I felt like everything was overkill. Then again, I've worked with k8s and while other people may think

by shtopointo 4y ago
Yes, you can. You probably also want to take it step-by-step – i.e. test the waters before jumping in. If you are concerned about transition, take it slow: make a side project, then see if you can freelance on the side, part time it, then f

Maybe a long sturdy chain + good lock to wrap around both wheels of the bike and the frame. When I lived in Holland and used to buy second-hand bikes for like 120 euros, they used to say to buy a chain of equivalent value :-)

Such good news! The more I think about it, the more I realize cities don't need cars. (ok, maybe if you have a city like LA or Houston that is so sprawled out that anything other than cars is impractical... but even with bikes, those c

I'm not even sure what dystopia to place this in – if they were actually tough on crime, then this would make more sense... but like this, when they don't do anything with ample video footage?

Start going into therapy? Strangers on the Internet are not going to help you much.
