Not very convincingly IMO. There’s also the approach taken by [s3path]( https://github.com/liormizr/s3path )

Waymo is already selling rides. How did this area become synonymous with Tesla, who were always likely lying?

Aren’t Waymo already selling rides?

Is there anywhere that has tried this and what happened?

Highway is simpler but it's worse if it goes wrong. Plus, highway driving is safer and cheaper than average so the bar is higher for self-driving cars/trucks. I don't think there's any middle ground for driving semi-truc

On the other hand, this kind of bank regulation issue seems right in Warren's wheelhouse and the president might have the power to make this happen through their existing bank regulation powers, or maybe through the CFPB...

Right! Banks are already regulated by the government and this seems like an opportunity for them to improve the retail banking market by requiring interoperation. Maybe it wouldn't work but it would be interesting to hear from him on t

This is the government's job - to make a working market. They should be forcing banks, through their existing bank regulation powers, to allow interoperation.

"Hard time hiring" sometimes means that the candidates cost too much, which would make sense here since we're talking about senior C++ people.

Almost(?) every other developed country has price controls (all payer rate setting) - that's a more general reason why prices are lower.

Amongst other things, the ACA removed the cap on payouts, making them more like actual insurance. What was the maximum lifetime payout on your previous high deductible plan?

Given all the problems that Uber, in particular, has had with their humans, I'd expect that customers would prefer a non-human driver.

Don't those require that you stay within a certain area? For example, the monitor has to be able to communicate via radio with it's base station.

Doesn't saving each password to it's own individual file make it more breakable than saving everything together in one file? I presume they're all using the same secret at some level. There's no FAQ on their site.

Good point - maybe buses will stay around just for peak usage, but will be replaced by rented, right-sized self-driving cars for the rest of the time.

by fatbob 9y ago
Buses are not always full. Their average capacity does not have an order of magnitude advantage.

How about real-time control? What's the alternative?

Herb Sutter has a proposal for metaclasses, which involve running some compile-time C++-like code. I don't think it would stretch to this, but it's heading in your direction.

An alternative way of doing this might be to annotate the story with which measures of unemployment the speaker must be talking about.

Maybe the occupational licensing is too onerous? I'm sure that you can get cheaper dental treatment abroad.

That's pretty nice - it's even better than what ING used to do. It still doesn't get around the problem of Wells Fargo charging for OFX access though.

Wells Fargo charges $3/month just for read access.

It's hypocrisy from banks/brokerages in general since they actually promote aggregation on their own websites. Vanguard has one, for instance - they're probably using Yodlee. They also charge absurd prices ($10/month) fo

Do you have a link for this? Is it only for business accounts?

Isn't this exactly the kind of thing that should be done by the compiler?

The widening inequality gap is only within rich countries. The gap between rich and poor countries is shrinking and has been for at least decades.

Congo GDP per capita (PPP) is about $729 which is hundreds of years behind rich western democracies. Hundreds of years ago those same western democracies had child labor. It's not that surprising that they use child labor. It may impro

What's depressing is that bank and mutual fund websites don't generally have OAUTH or 2FA and they're the ones with the worst consequences they get hijacked.
