Is that really "widespread/mainstream" though? Podcasts listening is pretty huge; in the US "38% of those age 12+ in the U.S. are monthly podcast listeners" (ref: https://www.edisonresearch.com/the-infinite-dial-2022/)
I can't believe it took this much scrolling to find a reasonable take. I think personal preference is clouding people's judgement. Of course it will depend on your employer and how much the office was part of company culture prior to covid, but I think what you're predicting will largely bear out.
Huh? Maybe you're not understanding that a Y towing a Y is netting you fewer total miles in the long run than just driving a single Y. There's no reason to do what you're proposing.
A simple exercise to prove this to yourself: if you have a full Y and an empty one, how much range do you get when towing the empty one in Regen mode? It's less than half of the full range. And when you switch to the one that had been towed? Yup, less than half your full range.
> The weird thing is that none of it is terribly surprising or unexpected.
Have I been living under a rock? I think we may have suspected that the ultrawealthy was not paying their fair share, but paying nothing? Using elaborate loopholes to actually get out of any tax burden at all? I found that to be shocking.
This is disingenuous. ProPublica pointed out that, regardless of the individual transaction, he amassed so much wealth that the .5B in taxes were a drop in the bucket.
PP isn't accusing Musk of cheating the system. They're pointing out that the system is broken.
Then why do it at all? What would possibly justify such a large investment of capital if Google didn't believe it to be a potentially nontrivial contributor of future revenue?
Optimistically: I suspect the reason they didn't upgrade the 16" pro is because of the RAM story. In other words: no 16" w/ the M1 is an acknowledgment that configurations with 32gb (and hopefully 64gb) of RAM are not ready, and it would be unreasonable to release the highest end MBP without those options available.
Hopefully we'll see the 13" and 16" MBPs with M1+ and more RAM next Spring.
For example, the $1,249 air is very similar to the $1,299 pro. The MBA has a bigger SSD, but the MBP has a bigger battery, isn't throttled (i.e. has a fan), and also has the touchbar (which may be controversial, but for the sake of comparison, remember that it comes with a manufacturing cost).
It seems reasonable that these are priced similarly. Of course, the machine I want is the MBP with the bigger SSD and no touchbar :)
I think it's reasonable to expect that overfitting is on the radar for Waymo (no pun intended) given that 1) their parent/sibling company's expertise in the domain and 2) that they've been extensively training outside of Phoenix both in real-world and simulation.
To continue down this path, I wonder how easy/hard it is for the Waymo "driver" to adjust to driving on the other side of the road.
The justification that this group has come up with (and was sent to Mass voters as part of voter registration info!) doesn't even pass the smell test.
"Conor Yunits, the spokesman for the Coalition for Safe and Secure Data, said, "This ballot question will create easy opportunities for strangers, hackers and criminals to access consumer vehicles and personal driving data–including real-time location. It will put people at risk, without doing anything to improve the consumer experience."
