I hate masks too. But the moment you realize masks are more about protecting the public from transmission when you happen to suddenly get sick and isn’t about your protection, you’ll literally breathe easier by choosing to wear the cheapest

IMO Ruby on Rails is one of the most successful uses of clever DSLs and metaprogramming. It probably created a few billion $ in value by enabling application developers to iterate quickly and skip template code that took 1000s of lines of J

You're right. SoCal summer roads are definitely the easy part. I bought a Comma Eon for a few hundred dollars and it does most of what Tesla's Extended Autopilot does. It's a solved problem, that's relatively inexpensive

For a bunch of "tech visionaries" that Hacker News is supposed to embody, this thread is full of such shortsightedness. I self-drove from Southern California to Phoenix, Arizona, so I guess that's like 1/10th of the way.

I would compare it to a brand new teenaged driver. I've had plenty of poor Uber drivers make the same sorts of mistakes that Autopilot makes. However, I'm surprised you had issues taking control, because a slight turn of the wheel

Regulation saves lives. We don't even have to look at the airline industry. Seat belts saved lives. Tailpipe emission controls saved lives. Tesla's Enhanced Autopilot and other Level 2 (partial autonomy) solutions will save lives.

They may not be a perfect solution but people already waste hours of their lives stuck in traffic and clearly hate riding the bus. Look at the stats for declines in mass transportation ridership since Lyft/Uber took the US by storm. I
