I think the important thing here is that driving faster hardly makes your trip shorter, especially for trips within a city. You're likely talking about a <1-2 minute difference even if the Tesla is driving recklessly.

One of the best reasons is that a very large % of calls can be cleared without anyone actually going to the scene. Many cities using drones as first responders now report that they clear ~30% of calls with just a drone. This is great for sm

I feel like an important thing here is that we are very much not good at imprisoning bad drivers at all, even if they injure or kill multiple people. We rarely even take away their licenses! The only type of car crash that consistently gets

This really is not true, basically every engineering job in the Bay Area will set you up with enough money to live extremely well. YC startups are a bit above average, but still most startups fail. If you care about building wealth, taking

Portland has some major advantages over SF, but as someone who also goes there regularly (~5 weeks/year), I still prefer living in SF at the moment. Not considering the amount of tech jobs there (which is a major factor for me), the ci

This is extreme hyperbole if you have been to most West Coast cities recently. Rents have shot up to new heights for a reason. Portland specifically is lagging a bit, but they are on the upwards trajectory (with a few big things to fix stil

A year after quitting semaglutide, 20% of people maintained their achieved weight. But, some 44% regained weight. Of that 44%, most (59% of them) still had improved weight: their weights had not fully rebounded to their pre-semaglutide leve
