By all means please come here to DFW and convince the people of Frisco, Allen, and McKinney the folley of their ways and get them to agree to changing up things and adopt transit. …

If it's about hiding information from the public about domestic police actions, you can't really be arguing that's for the public's interest. How would ICE being incredibly selecti…

> on demand is so rock solid that loosing a box is a rarit Maybe this really depends on region, but I can't say this is true. I've experienced tons of hardware failures that have c…

The interests of ICE should be the same as the public's interest, same as any other domestic policing.

They're an important part of your diet if you happen to have a gizzard. I've also been known to include some ground up rocks in my meals. I'm pretty picky though about them, I most…

I do that today by turning a dial and pressing the start button.

I agree with this take in a lot of ways. If you slash the token cost and increase speed for each token 1,000x, who cares if it takes even 20x as many tokens to achieve the goal? An…

I didn't realize acknowledging NY and NJ are in the same country is a xenophobic take. Borders are a lot more than just a bit of paperwork or "administrative hassle". Central Ameri…

New Jersey and Manhattan are both a part of the same country last I checked. Malaysia and Singapore are two different countries. Despite being right next to each other they have va…

I wonder what the logistics and costs look like having to maintain a fleet of single-seaters along with multi-seater vehicles. I realize a high percentage of rides are solo rides, …

Getting behind the wheel of an F1 car on a track involves lots of proving time that you can actually handle such a vehicle. Meanwhile anyone with a credit card can grant an AI syst…

I wouldn't say they're "typically" all beef. When you go shopping for something like hotdogs for instance, if you just pick up a package of "hot dogs" or "weiners" they'll typicall…

This is a lot of words to ultimately agree with my core point. If we have the political will to do so, we can. It pretty much all boils down to that. If we don't have it, we can't …

I think we're seeing that kind of happen with self-selection driving it. While we're experiencing tons of growth in the far-flung suburbs with practically zero walkability, we're a…

If I lived in Singapore I'd absolutely ride and walk most places, as owning a car is extremely expensive. To own a Toyota Corolla, before even thinking about paying for the garage …

> If the Netherlands is the size of the Dallas metro area, then why isn't the Dallas metro area like the Netherlands? Dallas-Fort Worth has over 8 million people in it, it's not li…

> This is entirely because of the design of Haarlem and its pedestranized city-center Practically all of those towns have had a focus of building walkable/bikeable spaces with dens…

> We can't just put them back where they used to be. The landscape has changed. A lot of old train right of ways still pretty much exist. For many areas it often isn't too outlandi…

You're right, but that still puts the minimum at 1. Even with the many, many vehicles with single passengers as 1, the average is still always higher than 1. An autonomous vehicle …

> Oh, yes, and I want to ride a Joby multicopter hailed using Uber to go to the major airports from local verti-ports. And you think I live in fantasy land. > if you are going back…

Your experience isn't uncommon. Lots of cities in the US have pretty limited transit, and a lot of the people in those cities don't use it. It's usually seen as a last resort kind …

Yeah, all the people who refuse to ride busses to the point they're willing to spend many many thousands of dollars on their own cars are just yearning to carpool in a much more co…

An unused car parked isn't causing traffic jams on the highway. It's irrelevant to my comment that AVs increase traffic, not decrease traffic. I agree reducing parking needs is a b…

You say it can't be done, but it's literally happened several times before. The most recent being when we built all these urban highways. It turns out you don't actually need to te…

The average passenger capacity per mile of a Waymo is 1. Moving the same number of people with fewer passengers per car increases traffic.
