Think it’s less about you caring and more about acknowledging, flaws and all, the impact on culture this individual had during their lifetime

The social implications of this would not be pretty. Without young people in society, the purpose of tomorrow would slowly fade. No point trying to build a future if there isn’t someone to take helm of it. Children of men did an excellent dramatization of this

The bike is 2K for the one without a motorized resistance knob and I bought one despite this feature because it takes me 1 second to turn the knob to the dynamically adjusted value on the display.

You are going to be waiting forever

The issue here is ecosystem. Googles advantage is everything syncs together across there platform seamlessly. Going the no google routes fragments my ability to share photos, share docs and sheets, access easily across platforms.The trade off is being locked out and tracking (which you can limit in privacy settings).

Edit: also want to add that there is also a risk with using smaller platforms as they have a high chance of going bust. I employ a strategy of keeping files on both google, iCloud and a personal drive to have redundancy in case of issues. Of course this does make sense if you want to be absolutely invisible

My community has dropped prices 10% and is offering 1 month free (4 year old complex in north san jose). However they are not offering this to current renters whose renewals are coming up. They offered me a 0% increase and when I cited that the 5 other identical apartments are currently available for essentially 20% off (10% discount over 12 months plus one month free), they began been pushing the narrative that the rent will increase by the end of June and that I should sign now before they change the offer. So now its a waiting game.

The integrity of all new sources have been challenged to such a degree that the real loser here is the average person. There is no way for many of us to assess who to trust and we are being mired in confusion and smokescreens created by the powers that be. There is no denying that it is being done intentionally and its just sad.

There are numerous Tier 1s (Bosch, Continental, ZF) working on providing autopilot like tech to auto manufacturers. Additionally companies have there own efforts (GM super Cruise for example which btw has nothing to do with Cruise and is developed separately). Comma has open sourced all there code, so good chance the OEMs have someone looking at it.

Google biggest advantage (and its the same thing Apple and Microsoft are doing) is integration of services that ultimately make the users life easier. Personally I use a Mac and iPhone and all my data is stored in iCloud. I do a lot of my personal work with MS Office and my email is Gmail. But over time I have found that choosing an ecosystem does benefit you. Recently I switched my work tasks to Google suite products and dropped my Apple TV for an android based solution. The main advantage is now my TV, browser (chrome), gmail, youtube are all synced together. I can watch videos on my tv and save others to pick up on my phone later. I can edit my docs anywhere and link them into my emails easily. I have debated moving from Apples Photos to Google Photos so that my images are all centrally located for my own ease of use and cross platform integration. I still back up all files to a secondary drive and forward copies of important emails to my outlook account in case I ever get locked out of my google account, but the integration is really nice.

They don't pay Tesla assembly workers much, very comparable to what GM and Ford pay in the Detroit Metro Area. Ford pay 13-30 dollars(source:payscale.com) while Tesla pays 18-30 dollars (source - father in law who works on the line). Most people are older men who never got a college education or younger men following the same path. They all live in multifamily units in the bay area, and thats how they afford it. Even with the sky high cost, these people see the bay area as their home and are not going to pick up and leave, so they is always labor available for manufacturers.

Waymo and Tesla have been designing a lot of their own hardware and I believe Cruise has been doing the same. Nvidia and Intel have been successful with getting start-ups into their ecosystem and attracted OEMS who want hardware for ADAS, but for FSD, you have to get the costs remarkably down, and that will need custom hardware without a middle man to pay. I doubt cruise is using anyones kit.

Just a note, but this is a perfect time for companies to lay off low performers without getting a lot of flak. This is usually the case when you see companies lay off people while continuing to hire as well.

Income loss for you is also income loss for the traveller who has to rebook the trip and pay double if they can't cancel. I have a booking I made in June in California. It was for my grandparents to stay at while they visited me (unfortunately my apartment is too small). Even though June is outside the travel ban time, I don't want two 80 year old people traveling during that time since we know Covid-19 will be active during that period.

I really enjoyed Dave and his interviews back than. Even gave money to help his new show and wore a Rubin Report shirt around so if people asked I could point them his way. With time though I feel the his show has turned from a long form interview with people across different spectrums, to more center-right with guests who help channel a certain point of view.

For context, you are being downvoted for being smug and not adding anything to this conversation.

This is from 6 months ago so pretty up to date. Drive with Nvidia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W9q5SjaJTc

It will take years for society as a whole to accept lab grown foods, and during the years it will take time to verify what are the side effects of this new food source.

Read the article and not once do they offer the data that would give this metric any real context. How much hiring was going on in that same period. For all we know 64K layoffs occurred in dying sectors of the industry while 100K jobs (made up hypothetical number) we created in new segments. Without context, 351% means nothing.

It wasn't just bad mortgages in Nevada...

Well he has the financial power to influence change in the world, so even if he may be someone whose insight you don't find useful, he is someone you should hear out. At least by listening you will have some idea of what he intends to do with his power, and from there you can decide if your actions will aid or not in whatever change Zuck decides to act on. For example, from this post it is clear the VR will be a big component of FBs future. From this you can do what you believe is a better path for VR and use your bit of influence by not providing money to FBs VR efforts (remove all FB VR apps(including Beat Saber), buy from Oculus competitors, etc...)

This makes no sense. The main issue here is recruiters in India and the USA promoting these types of universities to students there. These people should be caught. People seeking a better life apply, pay the tuition and show up. Now if they know it is fake is another issue. If you place a million dollars on the sidewalk and someone takes it and never reports it and you arrest them, is it fair. You are basically testing the persons ethics, which is not a criminal offence.

Data being used for services is inevitable, but at this point we really need two things. 1 - Laws around how shared data can be used that are more comprehensive 2 - A secure database either managed by private companies or the government (with strong oversight) that allows companies who want to use the data to access it but not store it. The key is that the companies using the data and the companies storing the data cannot be controlled or owned by the same entity. The companies who store the data also cannot be allowed to make money based on the type of data. They would need to be limited to only monetizing the cost of distributing the data. There will also be need to police that companies do not store the data they have access to.

I see this happening a lot amongst my friends in the bay area. Now 4-5 years removed from school, everyone paid off there debts and are setting up there adult life. One buys a home, another buys a home the same size or bigger. One buys a tesla, the other buys the one model up. One gets a drone, the other buys a drone the week after. It goes on and on. Most of the time now, meeting with them, discussions are about what they bought or what they plan on buying.

To me it feels like everyone uses the goods they buy to show how important they are. Expensive goods means you are valued in what you do, that's why you can afford it. I break the group mold, driving a corolla, living in a rental mostly because I want to save my money for other goals but sometimes I do feel the pang to buy one of the newly announced toys so I can go to a meet up and show it off.

As bad as it is, the positive is that alternate methods of transportation are boosted when gas prices go up. The current trend of buying large SUVs to commute an hour or two a day is supported by the cost of gas. Gas prices go up, cars get smaller and public transport gets a boost, congestion goes down, air quality improves and people do more things in there local community.

I do understand that the negative effects on people who rely on long commutes to work, but difficult positions can spur positive change if people work together.

I ignore pretty much anything that happens on twitter. I don't have any friends that use twitter either. Most are Instagram users and share moments and thoughts on that platform. The media gives Twitter its power because it amplifies the tweets politicians and others make.

Over the next 20 years, the number of elderly over the age of 85 is projected to go from 6.4 to 14.6 million. 10% of the population is over 65. That's a lot of people who don't work and need care in the next 2 decades. We are probably going to see a big uptick in Y combinator graduating companies who focus on elderly care.

Isn't this subjective. For someone who has a pathway to earning 500K (they and there spouse both work at FAANG) its not that absurd, but for 99% of people it is because almost everyone has no path to earning that much.

Intergenerational housing doesn't work for people who end up living in a different city than there parents or grandparents due to work. And a large portion of the population is in that situation. I grew up in the rural mid-west. Good luck working on robotics there. I had to move to a city to get the resources I needed to do the work I want. However that city also happens to have no housing and exorbitant rent. With rent eating up 30% of my income, taxes the other 30%, the path to saving for a small home in the city puts me a decade, if not decades behind where the previous generation began to set-up there homes.
