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...

As a high school kid with a dumb summer job I was able to afford to build/upgrade a pretty great early 2000s gaming PC and now two decades later as a salaried adult I’m completely priced out
PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory. RAM jumps to $600 due to shortage | Discussion
An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026
You can spend $50 more to get an entire PS5 Pro.

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

good piece on the impossible position communities face when wildland fire risks are so high
LA County Fire Dept is now telling residents in Topanga that if evacuation is not possible, they need to shelter in their homes. It’s a policy that, historically, has proven incredibly dangerous, but the department says it has no better options. My latest: www.latimes.com/environment/...
Can you survive a wildfire sheltering at home? For one community, L.A. County Fire says it may be the only option
L.A. County Fire plans to order Topanga residents to shelter-in-place if evacuating from fire isn't possible. It's raised concern from experts and residents, but the department says it has no other op...

🏆⚽️✈️ 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 😬

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
