Only the Nasdaq, which is an intentionally aggressive index. The S&P rejected all proposals.
It’ll be at least a year before they are eligible to join the S&P500. They also need to become profitable.
Many people avoid washing cars just before rain to avoid spots, etc. Phoenix as an extreme example rarely rains and leaves everything filthy afterwards.
No, this is the term they use to refer to their package of sensors, compute, and software.
At some point Waymo is going to want a lot of cars if things go well. Those cars need to be electric, due to the power draw of the computer and sensors. A partnership doesn’t necessarily make sense between these…
The Chicago grid is actually based on fractions of a mile (1/8 and 1/16 iirc), and when I lived there I would absolutely convert blocks to miles automatically when talking to people.
How would that be different than property tax, which SF has?
Poor incentives for the existing members of the system that hold power to implement change. They already cap the number of med students to control salaries, perhaps burning out young doctors fulfills the same purpose,…
Student loans used to be eligible for loan forgiveness as well, but we ran into a situation where every new doctor in America was immediately declaring bankruptcy. Unlike a house, the gains from education cannot be…
They recently installed a little door at my self checkout. I cannot even walk out of my grocery store without scanning a receipt or flagging an employee to open the door. It’s frustrating.
Alphabet is similar. Larry and Sergei together have a majority of the voting power.
Most OEMs have signed deals with Tesla to use their network in the US, but I don’t believe these have yet to go into effect.
Steam works fine on my M1.
There is an interesting now product called zBiotic that you could look into. You take it before drinking and it helps metabolize one of the alcohol byproducts that causes hangovers.
Soybeans and corn can often be grown in the same areas, and corn uses more fertilizer than soybeans so your logic checks out. The problem is that corn produces more calories per acre than soybeans (or any other crop),…
That’s not free money; it’s money taken from people under threat of violence.
The winners curse also creates the curious corollary that one should probably bid less, the more people are in the auction.
It’s possible. A lot of top universities already do need-blind admissions, so I don’t think it’s an unsolvable hurdle.
If the colleges had to take a stake in the debt repayment, or lack thereof, they probably would do a better job ensuring their graduates don’t take out impossible loans. Adults can make bad decisions, but many that are…
I started using vim about 5 years ago, and switched to Dvorak 2 years ago. It was painful at first, but so was everything with Dvorak. The muscle memory takes over eventually and now it’s very comfortable. The only…
The multiple repetitions of “This is Google” hit home for me. I never worked as a software engineer so much of the rest is out of scope to my experience, but the constant idolization of Google, and by proxy each other…
Even in rural areas, I doubt 90% ag workers is to be found in the United States. It takes shockingly few people to run a modern farm and the majority are owner-operated with zero employees. These areas will still have…
With the operational structure we have in place, I would describe it as fairly pleasurable for me. I get to work on interesting problems when I want to, and not much else. I’d say it’s actually the size that makes this…
Well I am an owner of the farm, along with my brother, which my great-grandfather purchased as a retirement project in 1950. Total area is about 7,000 acres, of which tomatoes will soon be replaced by almonds as the…
