Why do I feel like a regulator would immediately file a suit for $1B+ if Waymo did this?


Pretty incredible that Rails World 2024 sold out in ~20min.

So, you’re telling me Twitter engineering was over staffed…


So you're telling me you think x.ai people and twitter engineering people are the same...


It's obvious Twitter was overstaffed but xAI has less than 20 employees so definitely not the case there.


Ahh yea, it has nothing to do with the massive amount of crime, violence, decay and grift by those enabling it.

A person can be both ‘rich’ and want better for the community they choose to be part of.


where you and i differ is thinking that more cops & more prisons actually solves anything. i'm getting old, and watching the ultra rich play the same tune on the same horn, exploiting people's legit fears & concerns to stump for the same ineffective solutions that have proven over and over and over and over and over again to be nothing but gussied-up racial & socioeconomic oppression is getting old too.

we've already done the carceral state thing. It doesn't solve anything. history has taught us this lesson already. it's brain-dead to keep pimping for it like he's doing.


Agreed.

Also, who thought it would be a great product improvement to update as you are launching a call?

In addition, a few more things that suck about Zoom:

- No I don't want my screen to go to Zoom/fullscreen when someone shares their screen

- When the call ends, just end. Don't show me anything more with zoom, or make my screen go to a zoom/call ended modal.

1 click on/ 1 click off. Just be simple!


> - No I don't want my screen to go to Zoom/fullscreen when someone shares their screen

There's a setting for that. Settings > Share Screen > Window size when screen sharing > Maintain current size

I'm sure you can imagine why this isn't the default. Many people work off their laptop screens and low res monitors. Few have 32" 4K ultrawide magic beans ones so full screen helps them actually see the content.

> - When the call ends, just end. Don't show me anything more with zoom, or make my screen go to a zoom/call ended modal.

I wonder if this is so that people don't panic, wondering whether the call _really_ ended or the window just disappeared by the other person can hear them.


The article suggests that makers tend to take on ambitious projects that take large blocks of time to complete. This is objectively true; even today. Most of what is built is ambitious or takes large chunks of time.

Editing some text or repositioning a button or something trivial is 30-min and does not require thought, but most everything is not this. Most everything involves large chunks of time and interrupting this chunk is certainly a disaster.


Most meetings can be done async with a few bullet points. So much time wasted on idle talk that is not productive.

When is Wells Fargo not mistreating customers? I feel like every few years it's another Wells Fargo story.


Incredible timing
