It is so so so so so so bad to have to risk an uber every time I want to hire a Waymo.

We had the Wayback Machine for years before those two projects. What am I missing?

Seems pretty awful that the manager let him work on software upgrades for two years without telling him that work would not lead to the promotion he was clearly planning on.

This is one of the top things pushing me to an EV, so I can charge at home and be done with gas stations. As EVs get more market share, these intrusive ads will only get worse.

Albert Ellis wrote a book, "Is Objectivism a Religion" as far back as 1968. Murray Rothbard wrote "Mozart Was a Red", a play satirizing Rand's circle, in the early 60's. Ayn Rand was calling her own circle of f

Yes, but my point is what weight would the desired outcome have? Why not just observe the actual outcome and judge it directly?

Why would the desired outcome be a more true test than the actual outcome?

I appreciate your political commitments and I understand how that makes this topic unproductive for us to discuss.

And yet, public disorder is increasing. Sure, it is better than the 90s, but that can hardly be the standard. Those days were awful, we can and should do much better than that.

Cars are dangerous. When crime began to decline after the early 90s, American cities had a renaissance with huge numbers of people moving to them. Now, with the rampant public disorder, we are back to suburbs dramatically outgrowing the cen

The results have been that much of that housing ends up with the same problems homeless shelters do.

Unreasonable standard for reaching conclusions, I suspect if you thought about it, you would agree.

I would not ask normal people to start walking in dangerous neighborhoods in order to increase foot traffic and make it safer, those first folks are at great risk of just getting hurt. I would, however, try to keep any safe area with good f

I think in the US we've done a great job educating a subset of the population about how dangerous cars are. In the wealthy, walkable neighborhood I live in, everyone is very sensitive to the dangers of cars. Cycling and walking are com
