It kind of sounds like you want to automate small talk. I think we need to have less tech, not more, if we're trying to solve this problem.

This is my experience as well. Whenever I !g as search, it is usually in desperation. I can’t remember the last time I found something on Google I couldn’t on Kagi.

I'm pretty skeptical of the safety as well. It's also pretty hard to judge where there don't seem to be any actual photographs of the vehicle, only computer renderings.

I would love a small truck like this, but I would honestly buy an old Tacoma or Ranger before even considering buying this on spec.

*edit: digging around I did find some footage on YouTube with actual vehicles. I'm definitely skeptical on the safety now.

Ive never understood the drive to make meat substitutes instead of celebrating vegetarian cuisine. I’m not a vegetarian, but if I eat some dish that is vegetarian, why wouldn’t I want to celebrate the vegetable itself made from instead of trying to make some fake meat that never quite hits the mark?

Data in the aggregate is quite interesting and probably of little value to marketers.

You have to weigh it.

I mean, wouldn’t this be measured by actual threat model and just “vibes” or whatever?

I just leave restaurants that have gone to the online-only menu. It's usually an indicator that there are other terrible cuts in service and quality going on as well.

Reminds me of the old Deathrow cluster. Sadly it shut down years ago after a hardware failure.

It's a fixed-price contract, so Boeing is out $1.5 billion on this.

I’m not sure that this is something that scales. Online reviews seems to attract only the worst in mass media (e.g., gamed reviews, complaint box for influencers who don’t get “VIP” treatment).

The traditional restaurant reviewer filled this role much better. His role as a trusted arbiter was closer to what people want from a site like Yelp, but it’s very labor intensive and obviously doesn’t scale.

Honestly, I was pretty happy with my iPhone 3G.

> Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), an accountant and senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, told Axios in April that he wants to go "way beyond Direct File," calling for a "self-populating form."

> "Why in the heck should you have to fill out your return when the government has all the information. They know what's on your W-2 form before you do. They know what's on your 1099 … Do you know how many mistakes people make?"

This is what I’ve wanted forever, which means the tax preparation lobby will be spending a fortune fighting this.

> I was taught in drivers education (California) to always set my parking brake because popping out of gear while parked was a common issue.

I was taught this as well, along with curbing my wheels. I have a young family member who was taught exactly the opposite -- setting the parking brake was "harmful" to the car somehow and not to do it.

> I hope Kia and Hyundai learn from this and get OTA updates working for everything.

I hope auto manufactures get away from the "we'll fix it in software" mentality.

Maybe when supply outstrips demand? It looks like there is more than enough business for the foreseeable future that there is no need to restore to protection rackets.

This sounds more about cuttings costs than anything else.
