This was true of computers, phones, books, washing machines, refrigerators, A/C...most technologies.

Turns out that doing the addition engineering to figure out how to do these things cheaply makes the political and financial problems way easier.

We're not willing to enforce basic safety on buses, let alone other norms. If Waymo is willing to do that, that will make it available to many more people. Even just not having to wait at the bus stop before sunrise can be a game changer.

Is the city and county provided point-to-point transit for disabled people[0] not "public transit"? Is Line 0[1] not public transit? Most people say yes; the dictionary should be updated to reflect actual usage, not the other way around.

If you need React, then go ahead and use React, but I'd encourage people to try a simple s/react/preact/g on their websites. (Okay, not quite as simple as that, but even if you don't like vibe coding, this is something an LLM can be trusted with.)

In the city, I used to see multiple Amazon delivery trucks per day. On the rural road I now live on (dead end road with fewer than 30 households), USPS does most of the Amazon delivery, but this is somehow enough people that we see FedEx and/or UPS drive by pretty much every day in addition to USPS obviously driving by six days a week.

Given that they're also visiting the neighboring roads, it's definitely enough for an economy of scale.

That's obviously false, if for no other reason than:

> and there is rigorous editorial process, to get my stuff published...

There are people who will see and review your work after the fact, but it's published immediately.

> Also here my name is right next to the text, not in wikipedia!

There's a link at the top of every page to see who wrote what text.

Nice to see they mention UV, too. Aerolamp[0] is down to ~$500. If it were $100, it'd be easy to get into offices, too. Heck, if I worked in person, I'd buy a $100 one as an employee.

More on it at [0], but it doesn't take anything beyond a basic energy calculation to know that 1GW of energy is not going to have a significant effect "6.2 miles away".

idgi. I'm pretty sure this is also exactly what they've been telling enterprise. This has been the line I've been hearing consistently from them (and everyone else).
