Right, that's because of the political system you guys created with local councils. There's a reason it's worse there than even in the United States.

Oh that's interesting - I assume those have always been too loud and expensive to be useful.

I think you misunderstand - they can charge slightly less for the car, and not actually charge you for that bit of hardware, if they're monetizing it differently.

Both of those are unaffected and will likely move forward.

That's a really great point, and you can often start with documenting current behavior with tests and then carefully going through to figure out what bugs you've just enshrined in test cases…

And more than anything, it doesn't take away the trade-offs of what to build to deliver value for customers, what to make the business improve, what avoids paging you on a vacation.

Corporate customers are by and large not allowed to use subscriptions.

I also love this episode and appreciate the edit - thank you!

I don't feel like many companies were trying to build DCs in SF.

You'd think that, but they are deeply unpopular.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Yes, as long as we are advancing to behavior and world models, so that agents can interact with the world themselves. Which we are.

Paying a wind company billions of dollars in damages is basically a wash, they spend that on another installation.

Websites often rotate titles now to improve their performance.

Nice try, bicycle-riding pelican.

I assume it's Server Name Indication, which sends hostnames in plain text. A better approach is Encrypted Client Hello, or ESNI (I'm not sure how they differ, probably like Betamax and VHS, one allows porn).

We were discussing zoning in another thread, I think your comment here is very appropriate. People make up all sorts of reasons to oppose land uses, which is part of the reason municipal land control is so dangerous.

Ha! Of course, too bad they didn't leave that breeder reactor running for you. :)

Generally, a moat is equivalent to anticompetitive power in some way. It's never a good idea to say "we have a moat".

All the things humans do with their brains now get cheaper and we do way more of them. We engineer things we've never imagined. Same as always.

Sufficient determination reads as a lot of free time and few responsibilities. It's not realistic, even in a city like Seattle, for anyone outside of maybe their 20s.

NYC, sure.

In NYC you shouldn't own a car.

Increasingly, apartment buildings have chargers. And they don't need charging at home if they can charge during class.

It looks like this is common, but it is not. It's insanely rare. But because people with these .1% edge cases comment every time they can, they look more prevalent.

I've seen an increasing number of hotels with level two charging now. Has she looked to see if there are other hotel options with chargers?

The UK has the most ridiculously powerful municipal governments I've ever seen. There's a reason you guys are falling so far behind, it sucks.

Your utility probably allows people to pay significantly more to a fund to upgrade capacity to get prioritized. They may just not want to pay.

Plenty of people in Seattle just run the charging cable from the house across the sidewalk with one of those little ramps over it. And we've got a whole bunch of chargers on electricity poles, they are starting to proliferate around neighborhoods.

Of course they don't. That's a great argument for changing structural incentives, but not for convincing people who are talking about what car to buy.

The Carnot cycle makes it impossible for that to be true unless they're ignoring something.

What's making you short circuit? Gas is destroying the world.
