Labor is a market. Google has always had very different salaries and have been pretty explicit about it saying they were aiming to have among the top salaries in the labor market for each posting. I was shocked how low Paris Google salaries

I don't think it's intentional but think it's still possible for it to be a net positive. All it takes is one person who was on the fence or else too rich to bother deciding "oh well" to make it worthwhile for Tesla

This is every Apple and Tesla thread. Goes to show how much people love their products.

There are also plenty of people with relatively calm demeanors that achieved similar success leading companies. Google's founders, Buffett, etc.

If his grandpa really drives this poorly he will lose his ability to drive well before it expires either directly from accidents, from losing his license after accidents, or from his insurance becoming too expensive. I'm always amazed

Admittedly I'm not clicking on the link (2002 is peak antipathy both ways due to Iraq war build-up), but I've seen similar stuff that doesn't account for French people have a negative attitude towards everything compared to o

These people seem to be under the illusion that FSD is getting near to being only as flawed as humans who can drive hundreds of thousands of miles without incident. By contrast from the couple dozen FSD Beta drivers who upload to youtube FS

Humans do way, way, way better than what we've seen in the FSD beta testers' videos (most of whom are huge Tesla fans)

If any of these conservative social media apps succeeds it'll be the one Trump jumps on. Given his nature, he is going to make sure to get very well compensated for picking the winner.

I've never heard of anyone saying patents have much to do with Googles success, can you point me to something about that? To me their infrastructure and scale was the big edge they've had over everyone

I think Google can bribe just as well. The difference is politicians feel like Google and its business model are more actively disliked because the media is very focused on it, particularly the more left-leaning and right-leaning media. I t

Counterexample of Google Cloud shows this is obviously not true.

I'm always surprised when people talk about rereading books. I get absolutely nothing out of books I've already read. Do you also rewatch TV series?

A mechanical instrument would have to be a lot more clever than a laser to destroy the weed without messing with the wanted plants.

Manual weeding is really not a job people want to do in the developed world. IMO it's the worst part of farming in that requires working at ground level all day and needs to be done every couple weeks. It will wipe you out physically.

It's not just the names that are the problem, it's also the fact that they are trying to do a little more than other driver assist systems despite being very unreliable. IMO there are some features that shouldn't exist until

I think probably there shouldn't be a car available to the public that both can't drive safely without close monitoring and also tempts drivers to try this. Nothing between basic driver's assist and L4. You can argue whether

If they could onboard themselves on Google Cloud they'd probably be the biggest cloud. Seems like that's what they should be trying to do, it'd also future-proof them if they have to split up the business

I think the left should be fighting for higher taxes to support basic income or stronger unemployment protections instead of this union stuff. I think that aligns people's interests much better than pitting employees against their empl

Having more "trainers" probably doesn't matter one bit to Tesla, but their $10k is quite useful

If making a search engine like Google was easy to do Apple, Microsoft or Amazon would have done it long ago. Of any of these Apple is the worst position to do it since they don't have the same scale of infrastructure as the others.

Not to be nitpicky but I thought it was open to anyone if you are travelling within the right area?

Of course the media is painting it as the fault of those petulant self-important tech companies throwing a fit instead of protecting themselves from a law that makes sharing news a bad business. And of course many people here will play alon

Is selling their search bar to Google (very significant part of services revenue) "selling stuff"? Seems like it's more like the "you're the product" line Apple likes to market.

Whether these companies account for their own use of infrastructure as cloud might be the difference. Do these companies consider all of their own products running on their infrastructure as cloud and therefore consider expenses for those a

In any kind of subreddit about a category of products, they are all very sure that anything that's not expensive is awful. But what would real customers be doing replying to posts I'm a subreddit like that? Probably not a great pl
