Not very convincingly IMO. There’s also the approach taken by [s3path]( https://github.com/liormizr/s3path )

Waymo is already selling rides. How did this area become synonymous with Tesla, who were always likely lying?

Aren’t Waymo already selling rides?

Is there anywhere that has tried this and what happened?

Highway is simpler but it's worse if it goes wrong. Plus, highway driving is safer and cheaper than average so the bar is higher for self-driving cars/trucks. I don't think there's…

On the other hand, this kind of bank regulation issue seems right in Warren's wheelhouse and the president might have the power to make this happen through their existing bank regu…

Right! Banks are already regulated by the government and this seems like an opportunity for them to improve the retail banking market by requiring interoperation. Maybe it wouldn't…

This is the government's job - to make a working market. They should be forcing banks, through their existing bank regulation powers, to allow interoperation.

"Hard time hiring" sometimes means that the candidates cost too much, which would make sense here since we're talking about senior C++ people.

Almost(?) every other developed country has price controls (all payer rate setting) - that's a more general reason why prices are lower.

Amongst other things, the ACA removed the cap on payouts, making them more like actual insurance. What was the maximum lifetime payout on your previous high deductible plan?

The transportation costs kill ya!

Given all the problems that Uber, in particular, has had with their humans, I'd expect that customers would prefer a non-human driver.

Don't those require that you stay within a certain area? For example, the monitor has to be able to communicate via radio with it's base station.

Doesn't saving each password to it's own individual file make it more breakable than saving everything together in one file? I presume they're all using the same secret at some lev…

Good point - maybe buses will stay around just for peak usage, but will be replaced by rented, right-sized self-driving cars for the rest of the time.

Buses are not always full. Their average capacity does not have an order of magnitude advantage.

How about real-time control? What's the alternative?

Herb Sutter has a proposal for metaclasses, which involve running some compile-time C++-like code. I don't think it would stretch to this, but it's heading in your direction.

An alternative way of doing this might be to annotate the story with which measures of unemployment the speaker must be talking about.

Maybe the occupational licensing is too onerous? I'm sure that you can get cheaper dental treatment abroad.

That's pretty nice - it's even better than what ING used to do. It still doesn't get around the problem of Wells Fargo charging for OFX access though.
