The article is vague, but I suspect this is referring to FMVSS-127 which makes certain active safety features mandatory in 2029 and also increases the difficulty of some required to pass scenarios. The new scenarios require responding from

AV’s with enough sensing are generally quite good at stopping quickly. It is usually the behavior prior to the critical encounter that has room for improvement. The question will be whether 17 mph was a reasonably cautious speed for this sp

You can watch without a subscription. But unless you have YouTube premium, they can inject ads into the videos. I don’t add any ads.

Yep. Not great data science, although the conclusion is likely true-ish. Also I suspect big urban vs suburban vs rural differences in current EV buyers given range and charging factors. That happens to also mostly correlate to politics.

Many times, the best solutions are very simple. These often seem obvious in hindsight, but were at the time either non-obvious or dismissed prematurely.

Your explanation is so much more succinct than the article! I believe buried in there is one other factor that is somewhat related: - reducing friction helps drive more legitimate business. Accordingly, over-aggressive anti-fraud practices

Totally not equivalent in my view. In traditional interviews, I’m also interviewing the company to see if I want to work with these people. A take home assignment only shows me that they like unpaid work.

Despite all the caveats / problems on statistical significance and methodology, 1 key takeaway: “Unemployed” engineers communicate better than those at Uber, Twitter, Amazon, and Google. :)

Was wondering how much temperature matters, and thinking probably a lot. Do I even know what room temperature white wine tastes like? Not really.

Wow, so many replies that boil down to “because typing is better, you should just type”. This is fairly insulting as RSI’s are very much a real thing. Does this community also think that wheelchair ramps should never be invested in because

+1 anecdotally I think it is often a combination of factors. And once you start looking/ exploring and realize you can get a comp adjustment, then that becomes an easily quantified motivator to pull the trigger.

We will at some point have vaccinated the true believers and be left convincing the rest of the population to get their shots. From that perspective, taking action to demonstrate that we are being absolutely rigorous on the safety of the va

I believe helium is used due to it being more effective than air at removing heat. Vacuum is significantly less effective (as in, no convection in a vacuum)

Yields will suffer with current DUV process which must be multiple, multiple patterning. The mentioned switch to EUV reduces multiple patterning and should improve yield. But EUV has had its own challenges.

Just for my own understanding. .. if an article is interesting, but title is click bait, is it really considered better to make up my own title vs. use the author's title? I could see arguments both ways.

It strikes me that SW is a key reason for any shift toward a toy-first mentality. Most of the arguments in the article make sense when a (SW) product can be rapidly iterated. Physical products likely tend to be harder to start too toyish...

400 lbs capacity for passengers / cargo is in line with an R22, a common 2 seater helicopter (389 lbs for Pilot, Passenger and Baggage). However the SureFly situation is likely worse than that. Typically the empty weight does not inclu

Can any causality be shown? I'd think there is likely a correlation between money spent on the promo video and the amount of resources, name recognition, e-mail lists, etc that a company already has prior to running the campaign.

Their newer approach of different products targeted at consumer vs. business use cases has some merrit. All/Duo for consumer, Hangouts Chat/Meet for business. The needs are different and one size fits all often means one size idea
