London cabbys can be hangry or have broken up with their partners that day. What makes you so sure they're fully attentive on any given day?

I think the other way to think about it is that Waymo is probably in the 99th percentile for not being distracted and 99th percentile for reaction time, always, just from a pure sensor and computation standpoint. Even the best human can&#x2

I mean, if some subset of those 15% used Waymo, we'd be better off, no?

The argument was for _how_ people react to Waymos. The OP said folks are more careful. The respondent said, no it's the opposite. Neither argued that people do not adapt their behavior in the presence of Waymos?

From a purely technical perspective, I would expect a Waymo to react to unexpected external stimuli much, much faster than a human. It gives the Waymo options that are unavailable to a human's slower reaction time.

Do you have a solution for preventing humans from driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs? Or even preventing humans from driving while texting?

Yes, but I don't actually trust most folks to be in a "good condition". Even the best drivers have their off days.

This is a state law and it still allows for stricter city level rent control. If the unit is bound under the stricter SF city rent control, the city rent control law may treat discounts differently?

Allowing differing reimbursement amounts seems pretty similar to charging different prices to different patients. Why not remove negotiation entirely and say price is X for all patients and you must reimburse 100%?

One advantage I've noticed: our angel investors seem to like the standardization and quickness of Clerky. They know exactly what they're signing and there's less back and forth. I could see clerky going far beyond corporate formation; this

Hewlett-Packard: I'd give that one to Stanford way more than MIT. From Wikipedia: "Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard graduated in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1935. The company originated in a garage in nearby Palo Alto d

I'm all for new layouts and ideas - people will get over changes like this. Facebook redesigns have taught us many times. From what I can tell though, Sam and James could've done a much better job of communicating and working through the ch

Thanks for your wishes! We're still lurking around news.YC. We, WebShaka, went on to work on Project Wedding after YouOS; when that site was acquired, we and YC had an exit. The four of us are all in startups of various maturities; as some

You're right - that should be clearer. I've updated youos.com to more accurately reflect our history: WebShaka went on to work on Project Wedding; when that site was acquired, the founders and YC had an exit.

Another huge plus for libraries: many of them have conference and meeting rooms that you can book for free. If you're in the Bay Area, mid-Peninsula, the San Carlos library has rooms with whiteboards. Plus, it's only a ten minute drive to

I don't think executing long-running DDL with concurrent read/writes is that bad, especially if the DDL is additive and doesn't lock the whole table. Concurrency - isn't that what a DB is supposed to do well?

Yes - Joe was engaged when we started it; he was having trouble finding good wedding vendors.

Hi, I'm one of the founders of YouOS. Yeah, we're finally shutting it down. We haven't been working on YouOS actively since November 2006. Why it failed is a long blog post for another time (it centers around not finding a use for it our

Another great benefit is that you get an itemized bill at the end of the month. It's a great way to track your spending.

This doesn't answer Ryan's key complaint though: that disqus sucks up all the SEO from blog comments on blogs that use it.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Becoming partner at a large firm is like working up to VP at an established tech company. Starting your own law firm that specializes in class action law suits - that's a lot more like a startup.

Our site's user base is heavily female and tech level is a bit above-average. It's a wedding related site, so it's definitely not the "web 2.0" crowd. According to google analytics, we see: flash: 90% 9.0 or better java: 99.9% have some

Any idea how they compare when using rails caching? Is there an equivalent in ErlyWeb? I'd be curious to see the numbers, as the gap could go either way. I'm not sure if rails is worse with threads or worse with rendering or both.
