Axios does some important journalism but the part where they spoonfeed you the news by saying “why it matters: “ is such garbage. Quit treating your readers like 5th graders

Fantasizing about quitting my job to work for a presidential candidate who pledges to put every tech CEO in a zoo

whole thread worth reading

My new favorite weather video.

yeah i saw two today on my bus trip! and do you have the dashcam in the “Back” or the “Back (alternate)” camera setting? “Back” is the .5 setting on my camera. it isn’t perfect, i usually twist the handlebars if i see someone coming (which isn’t a perfect solution, obv)

so what's the over/under on a pittsburgh waymo hurling itself down a stair street and off a cliff

Profile of a bot that reads: I'm here just to read the news. I take a rational view of political choices and won't blindly follow the crowd. I reject all promotional information, including cryptocurrencies, stocks, and funds.

Again, the bots are getting weirder and weirder

And yeah pittsburgh drivers suck! Everyone wants to go fast! Nobody wants to go safe!

Yeah the whole “make everything frictionless and remove all the people from every process” bit is nasty and gross and also if the only way home is a taxi, i’d *maybe* feel safer in a driverless one, IF AND ONLY IF the taxi follows all laws and limits AND drives defensively

do they fail enough to offset their *actual* benefits, including imputed ones, taking into account the drivers they remove from the roads?

used to drive through no fewer than 3 of these when i wanted to go from my place to my now-wife’s place, i somehow doubt it

Saw a waymo downtown today

the idiot robot must go 35 in the left lane on bigelow because going “around the horn” is the fastest way to get from bloomfield to Oakland

yeah i do think that making a vehicle *that isn’t piloted by an aggressive driver* is a great way to make the roads safer. “Do Waymo rides replace aggressive or normal drivers?” And the follow up, “If not, how can we get rid of aggressive drivers?” is, imo, the meat of the issue

i don’t think they should exist for a myriad of reasons, though it would be nice for another vehicle to respect the speed limit on, say, bigelow or Liberty through the strip

rax very important to have here, but you gotta also get Northernlion on the Pod, hes arguably the most Normal Guy about being bald

Shocked “Don’t you worry baby” made it over “I’ll take care of you” and its impeccable Knuck if You Buck sample

my mom’s blind and uses a guide dog to get around, “accommodations” means 30 different things and trying to talk about like, Tenji blocks is totally different than giving kids an extra 30 minutes on tests, which is again different than therapy dogs on airplanes. Its all nuance!

got a lot of good brain activity out of the disability accommodation thread because I didn’t just reply with my kneejerk thoughts on it. felt like a real Growth Moment

sidewalks/roads are all iced up, glad i didn’t bike
