There is no question Waymo is a better consumer product for most trips around places like San Francisco proper. So if you have a better product, why waste calories with membership cash grabs vs scaling your core mechanic? If there was a lar

IMO; you should try the product. The car basically drives me everywhere with no interventions, including on errands around SF. Just plug in where via the Google Maps view. I’ve been paying the monthly for a while. Very worth it to me.

Blame doesn’t matter here. Sandbox rules simply don’t apply when real money is at stake— the contracts that sit behind these relationships are all that matters + a companies ability to stop doing business with one another. Delta probably is

(SaaS CFO’s perspective) If push comes to shove, Delta can sue and/or stop using the product. This is ultimately a question of contracts, liability limits— particularly if Delta secured consequential damages. SaaS contracts are designe

My question is not a joke. It's comes down to this: how you would like to be treated if the situation was reversed? What sort of world are we creating that if we see a problem, some people would rather complain publicly vs take your co

First, pilots should be commended. 101 (or 104) souls were saved. This is an almost 23 year old plane. Even with checks and maintenance, was age a factor?

Hard to reconcile with the driverless car that just rolled by me as I’m walking down the street in San Francisco. I can’t imagine this is going to age well.

(Uninvolved growth-stage CFO perspective) The IRS mandates that stock option grants expire after 10 years. My best guess is these early employees are quickly approaching those grants' 10 year mark, and face an exercise or "lose it

It's not uncommon to test RIF-impacted employees for gender, age, race etc against the general population. In fact, in certain states (like CA), you often list all the ages of the people in the department, and who is and isn't imp
