He was at Facebook since 2012... has got to be rich. I gotta wonder why not just retire completely at that point, or at least start your own company? For those of us not in that si…

Don't steal from rich people is the secret. Madoff made a rookie mistake.

> This needs to work on an intubated patient, and be able to maintain a sanitary environment, neither of which it'll probably be able to do to the extent required by health and saf…

I'm impressed. Maybe those guys in Italy who 3d printed the valves can 3d print some of these components. I'm guessing the doctors there would be willing to try anything at this po…

If this gets extremely bad, many people will change their view. Unfortunately for them it will be too late.

Pretty sure we're being invaded by a trillion trillion invisible soldiers.

1 month salary for every full time employee is not anywhere near that. Especially capped at 1/12 of 100k/year

Honestly I'd like to see a 1 month quarantine, with the US government guaranteeing the wages of everyone in the workforce for that time. Something like 100% up to 50k/year, 75% of …

Flying cars are always poor cars and poor airplanes.

Should cars prevent people from running red lights? There are a few unusual circumstances when this is something you want to do intentionally and knowing the risks.

which tcp/ip? There would be 10, all with incomplete feature sets and poor reliability.

> Everyone I met at the onsite was kind of an asshole. that was my google onsite experience in 2013. I haven't been back and wouldn't try again.

I agree with you. I think freeway travel can be 99% automated in the very near future. I also think that's where the MAJOR wins will come from. Long haul trucking can flow 24/7 at …

We've already seen this in aviation actually. AF447 is a good example of flying a plane into the ground because of reliance on automation and lack of experience hand flying. There'…

The thing with other activities (diving, flying are great examples) is that when a problem occurs, you generally have minutes to analyze what's happening and decide on a solution. …

I've been beating this drum for years (but I'm a nobody, so it's like pissing in the wind): 1. Anything less than 100% FULL automation is MORE dangerous than manual driving, becaus…

I vote for that option as well. So far, I have been killed exactly zero times in car crashes. All the empirical evidence tells me that there's no need to surrender control to a com…

This strikes me as Boeing lobbyists trying to pay people to create doubt. "Maybe it's not the plane, maybe the pilots are inferior to AMERICAN pilots, yeehaw!"

Do you believe this person suffered $60k in damages by not being able to buy a coffee?

What a joke... floundering company CEO added to successful company board. Really? Dropbox management is atrocious, they succeeded in spite of themselves.

You're right, it's just that the things I enjoy doing (and do well) aren't valuable to anyone else... golf doesn't pay if you're in the top 1%, you have to be in the top .001% :) W…

It's like a brain dump from my head. I can 100% identify with everything this guy says. I've been fighting this since I can remember, certainly over 20 years. I thought I was the o…

Well, those are 2 of the 3 reasons I got a surface instead of a new MacBook when my 2013 finally died. Regular USB was the 3rd (and least important)

I have an Audi S8, and it's "holy fucking shit" fast... but the exhaust is so quiet :( It's quite an engineering achievement actually, that big V8 is moving a ton of air. I wish th…
