We need to see their detailed implementation strategy to understand whether this can ever be viable. If it is, you can be sure that ASML is already working on it.
I had to carry a couple of gallons of dairy for a trade show. Too heavy for the 15 minute walk. First world problem, I suppose, but Waymo was a convenient point-to-piont option.
Spent last week in Phoenix, rode Waymo a dozen times. Autonomous taxis are the future. Don't have to tip, don't have to worry about pissing off the driver if I'm only going a few blocks. Price is reasonable, seems less than Uber or a standard taxi.
Question is how many humans will forgo owning a car altogether once autonomous vehicles are ubiquitous.
"Luck by definition you can't do anything about, so we can ignore that."
Is there value in differentiating Luck from Chance? Perhaps Luck only pertains to attributes of you and your life you cannot change. Such as your DNA and your life before you can leave home.
Chance can apply to the life path you determine for yourself. Perhaps, unknown to you, doing great work depends on a Chance encounter with a potential mentor in the field you are pursuing. You can increase your Chance of meeting that mentor by living in an area that has a high concentration of people in your field of interest. That Chance encounter is still a matter of Luck, but requires 'less' Luck than if you lived on a different continent.
I’ve noticed the number of Tesla cars on the road in SV is around 4%, possibly more. It surprising how quickly they’ve become commonplace, even on their home turf.
Vs. LinkedIn: I started using it in 2009, but it's become virtually unusable for me. The only reason I haven't deleted my account is it has up to date contact information for my 1,300 LinkedIn connections.
Coca-cola had been around for about 100 years at the point he made that comment. My read is that he was illustrating how solid Coca-cola revenue prospects were for the long term. He was certainly not saying there was a question about cancer as a possibility. No possibility in his mind, and therefore, his certainty that Coca-cola revenue was a sure bet.
It's about being liked. A 40 year veteran technology sales exec repeats to me all the time, "People do business with people they like." Trust is a big part of liking someone, and trust is key to doing business, especially for Warren. There is no way he'd do business with someone he distrusted. That trust is earned, and this chit-chat is part of building trust. In persuasion, it's called 'pacing': showing that you have something in common, even unrelated to the business at hand, before trying to convince someone to take an action.
