Waymo was providing 10,000 weekly autonomous rides in August 2023, 50,000 in June 2024, and 100,000 in August 2024. Not everything has this trajectory, and it took 10 years more th…

Half of the linked article is about the story behind Confederacy of Dunces.

Maybe this will be helpful to the author (partially already mentioned): - Nonprofit business model does not equal "everything is free for the user forever", I'm guessing you alread…

Can't find the tweet that dug a bit deeper, but basically, this difference entirely evaporates if you take a look at the GDP PPP, vs just GDP. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/…
