Typical of Trump, these are cheap shitty shoes that might look like ok shoes from a distance to people who don't know any better and don't care.

Might as well just paint them gold as well.

Working in the city (London) and lower Manhattan, I wore black Oxfords like all of the others in my field and level because thats what you needed to do, but no fucker wore this ugly cheap-ass Florsheim garbage.

Generations of Northampton cordwainers are collectively turning in their graves.

Love it! Milton Keynes was my home with Red Bull. So many roundabouts. I lived in Middleton, and passed many gravestones on the walk to our local.

Then I sold out and moved to the City. Booo me

Thats the Buffett Indicator for those playing at home, though it's stock value over GDP.

It's not a good indicator because it ignores international revenue (which is a huge and growing chunk of the market valuation revenue).

Also the 2008 crash had nothing to do with inflated equity market valuation, 2000 is a better example.

The software operates with the inputs it has at the time, regardless of whether one of those inputs is from a fleet operator.

If you tell a human driver "Take the next left" or "use the other lane", you are not "controlling the car". It's the exact same with fleet response.

Yes. And cars somehow just have one person controlling them. Often, drop outs. So your analogy fails even for regular cars. However, Waymo has SOFTWARE controlling it, not prople, with the ability to request and receive decision input from remotely. Not commands, not control, decision input.

Yes, your quote says exactly what I said.

My dad searched his whole adult life for his "sole mate" (the phrase he used as well), but never found a match. He died before the Internet would have made such things more trivial.

The remote workers are not controlling the car, as the article very clearly states repeatedly.

The remote workers are not "controlling" the cars. They can provide navigation instructions. Read the article.

You are not trusting your life to someone on the other side of the world, and it is not split-second.
The software can request and receive decision input, not direct control. You are trusting your life to the software. Some people will, others will not, but let's not muddy the waters.

Yes, but as the article very clearly states, they are not remotely driven. They can request and receive decision input, not driving commands.

"Put simply, the remote agent may not control the steering wheel, but they still make major decisions on where the vehicle navigates next."

That's not what it says. It says he couldn't provide a breakdown on the spot of how many are in which location, not that he doesn't know where they are. And the article also makes it clear that the autonomous vehicle is doing the dynamic driving.

That is quite the imaginary strawman you've constructed.

* 60% of households.

Thats a household income, not individual, and the quintile starts at $64,000, as the OP said, so no correction is warranted. $120,000 would put a household at the 80th percentile, the threshold of the upper quintile, illustrating how outrageously poor the income distribution is.

People talking about low voter turnout for a mayoral election - this was just a primary.

The mayoral election will be in November.

I like the warm natural finish. What did you use? Hard wax oil?

ATCs do not have the authority to deny a plane landing based upon their interpretation of whether an occupant of that plane may be inadmissible to the country.
