If you don't set a definition for "limitation", self driving cars existed long before Tesla and Waymo, in niche pockets of the world. But if you set the definition of self driving car as what you would expect in a sci-fi nove

I think we are still a long way off from business viability, but a very short way off from POC (proof of concept) demos that show its potential. Kind of like self driving cars in the 2017 hype. Doing something is not hard. Accounting for al

This is... not quite true. Most people can retire off of 2 million USD in a major city. Spend the first million on your house and you live off of the 6-8% ROI for the second million. Even if your living expenses is over 100k/yr, you ca

> Where is your line? What's ok? 100m? 432m? Above that people are "too rich"? What if there's 10% inflation? Do you add that on? Surprisingly, this is an answerable question. It's not that we directly take away

Not to overstate the point, but what many Rubyists want in programming is to mirror their code to a subset of English as much as possible, avoiding the more ambiguous parts of English. This is because if it makes sense in English, it is sel

I think this is the beauty of Ruby. The core philosophy of Ruby is that it was designed to make "1.day.ago" possible. That's why DHH fell in love with it and used it to build Rails. You can't do that with many other lang
