I’m trying to imagine where a Waymo passenger (the one “operating” the vehicle, commanding the AI to drive from A to B) being held responsible for the car doing something illegal on the way to achieve that goal. Do you really think that the

Maybe I’m understanding wrong, but imho this doesn’t feel too different from apple care. I pay a monthly fee for the right to pay Apple more money to repair my phone. I know some repairs are included/free, but still…

The AI only seem to solve the problems that it had human trading data on… If this wasn’t human driven, I’d expect to see other problems within that problem. Space solved not just the ones that it had chat data on.

Probably some confusion here. IT (outside of the USA) typically means Software Engineer, but in the USA the context is as you described. I don’t know where they are located, but they might be talking about what you would call software engin

It isn’t an alternative to Instagram, it’s a Safari extension for instagram.com. I would love to delete Instagram, but I don’t know how to stay connected with the people I meet any other way. Whatsapp lacks stories, which organically rekind

He is relatively early at Cloudflare, joining via CF’s acquisition of his startup. My understanding most Tier 1 employers are paying $700k-$1.5m usd per year in TC. $75k is less than his tax bill. Also the home is in Texas (I think). So low

Firefox has ads on by default. I can’t develop apps to the AppStore without an iOS device, which is a source of income for me. Degoogled androids have issues with push notifications and banking apps There isn’t an AirPod pro experience on G

In another charity, I offered the 1:1 match. My reasoning was 0/ marketing 1/ credibility. Someone wealthy thinks the charity is important If you publicly give $2m, people might think, that’s probably enough… no need to give more.

I probably would buy/read it, but I wouldn't rush out to buy one. I barely passed stats in college and I wish had a better intuitive understanding.

Not that I know about these things... Some people buy used hot rods on Facebook Marketplace for around $100k, then trade them in to a dealership. They claim they only paid $5k for the car and their labor increased the value to $100k, then u

As others have touched on, you're applying black and white thinking on what should be a gradient. Artists and scientists have famously been prosecuted for different communication. But at the same time, communication gaps also resulted

I love/hate how Google translate assumes "Anh" means "brother" or "em" means "girl". This confusion has resulted in Vietnamese people unintentionally describing incest or gay relationships. [0] -

I asked a Vietnamese woman if she wanted to play board games at a cafe with me. She got very upset and stormed off. 2 hours later, she messaged me: "sorry, I was rude, but I will not go to the casino with you." Common language, cu

Can't speak for InDrive's safety rating, but I would pay 30-50% more for Uber's safety tech (on a $5 ride) than a company with less funding. (I'm ex-Grab).

The economic term is "price gauging". You charged a $15usd (~15%) fee when your friend was desperate and willing, when the standard fee for such transactions is at best 0% and worst 5%.
