The moderate position is that someone should set all of these cars on fire.
Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

The latest episode of We Call It Imagineering is all about the department I work in, R&D. It shows off some of the fun robots we've released very recently, and even gives a peek at newer stuff (I love the water robots). www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoPN...

once again astonished by how messy google is when it comes to pricing and subscriptions

there are always like five different ways you can get access to a service, and in many cases you can end up inadvertently sign up for overlapping subscriptions and effectively paying double for some things

so it's the size of a smartphone, doesn't have a screen and makes you want to eat it?

did they put a circuit board in one of these?

“There was an earlier prototype that we were quite excited about, but I did not have any feeling of, ‘I want to pick up that thing and take a bite out of it,’ and then finally we got there all of a sudden.”

what the fuck

🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬

and yes i agree the specific protest pointed out in the OP does feel misguided

but idk, i think it's cool and good to protest home depot being shitty and that they are in fact being shitty

yes I understand local LE is not the same as federal immigration enforcement, but surely by this point we understand how the feds use local cops as an extension of their own power to do bad shit and local cops in many cases are pretty happy with this relationship
