As a point of reference Boeing's stock price hasn't really gone down, and Boeing's action killed people.
If the stock price doesn't go down Zuck will not care.
Same problem in US with thinking that a border wall will help when most undocumented immigrants are visa overstays.
Poor people and even "middle class" cannot afford to be accused of a crime. It is incredibly, impossibly expensive to afford justice.
In the US, it is far cheaper to accept a plea deal for a crime - even if innocent. Look at the US numbers for accused that actually "get their day in court".
Nolo estimates over 90% of cases never go to trial (https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/how-criminal-cases-a... ) This sounds remarkably close to the Japanese numbers.
"A young couple was told to leave first, Bridges recalled. “They begrudgingly got up and left,” he said. Then an older man, who refused.
“He says, ‘Nope. I’m not getting off the flight. I’m a doctor and have to see patients tomorrow morning,’” Bridges said. The man became angry as the manager persisted, Bridges said, eventually yelling. “He said, more or less, ‘I’m being selected because I’m Chinese.’”
Too bad. I know I am now permanently reluctant to fly 737s
Who could imagine that how important public transportation is? </snark>
What happens the next time the data is loaded. How does anyone figure out how far away anything is?
Take this up with HN
Look at all the electrified trains that the French take to work instead of driving.
Decarbonization does mean going to 0% overnight.
Nothing.
There is a fixed road area to work with.
Governments exist to define and allocate common resources.
Unproductive abuse is a DDOS attack against the infrastructure that inhibits economically productive use of the space.
Cities should tax unproductive use at a prohibitively high rate to stop this DDOS attack.
Like busses and trains? Seriously. Public transit.
The issue is a geometric one. There is only a fixed road capacity. Consuming that road capacity with deadheading vehicles is the worst usage.
Not parking means excess capacity is creating traffic jams. So to avoid paying for storage, self driving cars are going to consume energy and space in travel lanes.... cities should charge the f out this.
I don't know if "your shit title" is the current title chosen by someone else. Or the CNN title chosen by someone else.

The number of humans killed by indifferent human engineering keeps going up.
Cars don't kill - road designers and human drivers do.
I am glad I read this. More people need to be less naive about the way Silicon Valley really works.
We have this idealistic view of SV compared to the rest of the world.
SV has humans being nice to other humans.
SV has humans screwing over other humans.
Same as in every other part of the world.
As more my own personal advice... Recognize that you will have to:
1. fire people you like.
2. give up the option to work directly on code
3. spend more times in meetings
4. budget time more carefully
5. be careful what you say (things get misinterpreted)
....
so much more
The skills that make you a good developer are only 20% of the skills needed to be a good manager.
Remove the income cap limit. ( https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/12/10/what-is-the-2018-m...)
All income over $128K is does not have a social security tax on it.
Remove the cap and there will be no problem.
Sears, Toys R' Us, Marsh .... all brought by PE firms. All drained dry by interest payments, until there is nothing left.
The vampires have already gotten all the blood out of the body before bankruptcy occurs.
Yes. S.O.C.I.A.L. S.E.C.U.R.I.T.Y.
Look how well Americans will fight for and defend Social security benefits.
We really should just force an expansion of Social Security like most civilized countries.
