I think the other way to think about it is that Waymo is probably in the 99th percentile for not being distracted and 99th percentile for reaction time, always, just from a pure sensor and computation standpoint.
From a purely technical perspective, I would expect a Waymo to react to unexpected external stimuli much, much faster than a human. It gives the Waymo options that are unavailable to a human's slower reaction time.
Do you have a solution for preventing humans from driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs? Or even preventing humans from driving while texting?
This is a state law and it still allows for stricter city level rent control. If the unit is bound under the stricter SF city rent control, the city rent control law may treat discounts differently?
Allowing differing reimbursement amounts seems pretty similar to charging different prices to different patients. Why not remove negotiation entirely and say price is X for all patients and you must reimburse 100%?
One advantage I've noticed: our angel investors seem to like the standardization and quickness of Clerky. They know exactly what they're signing and there's less back and forth.
I could see clerky going far beyond corporate formation; this seems like just the first step. We used it at first to raise our first seed round, but we continue to add new investors and follow-ons through clerky, since the documents are the same. There are plenty of other flows they can help standardize.
Hewlett-Packard: I'd give that one to Stanford way more than MIT. From Wikipedia:
"Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard graduated in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1935. The company originated in a garage in nearby Palo Alto during a fellowship they had with a past professor, Frederick Terman at Stanford during the Great Depression. Terman was considered a mentor to them in forming Hewlett-Packard."
I'm all for new layouts and ideas - people will get over changes like this. Facebook redesigns have taught us many times.
From what I can tell though, Sam and James could've done a much better job of communicating and working through the changes with their current users, especially power users. A "what's changed" and why guide would've been useful; the one blog post they wrote is not sufficient.
Thanks for your wishes! We're still lurking around news.YC.
We, WebShaka, went on to work on Project Wedding after YouOS; when that site was acquired, we and YC had an exit.
The four of us are all in startups of various maturities; as someone already mentioned: Sam went on to start thesixtyone.com, which was round #2 of YC for him!
Another huge plus for libraries: many of them have conference and meeting rooms that you can book for free.
If you're in the Bay Area, mid-Peninsula, the San Carlos library has rooms with whiteboards. Plus, it's only a ten minute drive to the likes of EA, Oracle, etc.
