The underlying assumption "general autonomous driving can be made much safer in a short timeframe [years]" is not granted. It may be that the first option could have a death toll higher than what it would prevent - but the thing is, we don't know, it's an unknown, an assumption "it will be much better once everybody drinks the koolaid."

Reddit is the only major site I know which is regularly (well not so often, but often enough for me to realize) unplanned, and planned, downtime. Makes me wonder whether their architecture is really something to follow.
I'm not opposed to scooters, they're quite fun. However, from a practicality point of view of everyday transport, shopping etc., a bike is simply superior.
This same sentiment was echoed just as strongly after the last major redesign (when they went from straight text to adding thumbnails and more whitespace).

The majority hated it, rebelled against it, said that the change in the way content consumption was focused on images more than text would push out quality content in favor of image macros that can be voted on quickly, that the quality of the people using the site would drop, etc, etc.

10 years later, I still feel all of those concerns were valid and correct, however these changes did not hurt reddit, and in fact the company grew by leaps and bounds.

And even now, I still share the same sentiment as you and others, but I think whether or not these changes are actually detrimental to reddit as an entity are yet to be determined.

Really I can't beleive the answers to this question. The real answer is for all the stress he is under right now he is not an idiot.
A trans-lunar flight might be very useful as a test flight before the first Mars mission anyway. Going to Mars will be an extremely risky venture to start with and the first few vehicles probably won't be coming back even if they make it, so it also makes sense to extract a bit of economic value out of the vehicle beforehand.
It actually wasn't Santos Dumont. It was the wright brothers. But most Brazilians have convinced themselves otherwise. The sources clearly indicate the wright brothers were a year or more before Santos.

It's just that many Brazilians simply claim that the wright brothers and those that witnessed the flight were lying.

With an important difference that while over time it cost less and less effort to build a powerful CPU, a moon loop still costs about 3000 km/s of Delta-V. Since the first space flight, CPUs have changed in terms of cost and capacity worth several orders of magnitude, while spaceflight, despite the investments made, is still basically the same. I don't think spaceflight will be revolutionized in our lifetimes, making it affordable as much as computing power has.
What would you do with this? More accurately, what would you [like to] do with this if you could?

The reason I ask: you obviously see the thousand and one possibilities this enables. I look at it, appreciate that it's ridiculously good and go "...coool.", but the best I can come up with are the So Very Original™ robotics suggestions already mentioned in the article.

The only related thing that this prompts me to think of of is motion analysis in video encoding (a la `mplayer -lavdopts vismv=7 <file>`), but I suspect video encoding requires a different kind of specificity than the one demonstrated in the article.

Wow! Torching a car takes serious dedication. Maybe I shouldn't, but I think I respect that.
I'm no defender of the British press but I think its reasonable to mention his place of birth. Have a look at the reporting around this article, "Japanese billionaire..." is mentioned by almost every news source, Richard Branson is referred to as British Billionaire by overseas press, so perhaps you want Musk to be described as South African billionaire but that would t be accurate and calling him a US billionaire, while correct is not the most accurate way to describe his nationality. So they mention that he was born in South Africa and most people can then work out the rest, I will US based but is an immigrant from South Africa.
>"That's a terrible terrible idea! It's bad design because of x, y and z. Instead, why don't we do a? We can write tests for it and we'll need to refactor the module, but it's a clean solution. We could also do b as a quick fix. I mean if we have to, we can do c, but I think we should try to do a."

I see a couple of issues with this.

First, the initial sentence doesn't do any useful work. You're already explaining the problems with the idea. That's all you need to do.

Second, you're writing from the assumption that you're definitely right. It might turn out that this actually isn't such a terrible idea for reasons that you haven't thought of. But now that you've said, in such definitive terms, that it's a terrible idea, it will be difficult for you to backtrack if you turn out to be mistaken.
One day I asked my wife to find me a Plumber so I build Hal

Things Hal can do:

• Hal, I want to go to a nice beach. Where could I go?
or
• Send me a good rated pizza tonight at 8.
or
• Why is the sky is blue?
or
• Or everything you could possibly think of.

It's an interesting game we are playing.

Take websites as an example. We have to build websites using CSS and HTML and JS because that is what works in browsers. But browsers have to build DOMs, layout engines and JS engines this way because that's the way we write code. It's nobody's fault. It's evolution with a bad fitness function.

We need a new start. A new paradigm.

I've been using reddit for almost a decade. I've found many people on reddit saying that if it wasn't for the redesign (and the mobile apps) they would not be using reddit. It surprises me to see that some people like it; it made me realise this will mark a very, very big demographic shift in the website. Many old users will leave, and many new users will come. Whether that's for good or bad remains to be seen. I think the original spirit of Reddit may end up disappearing, but I don't think that's something that is worth saving, as redditors and their culture are crap.

You compare it to having added thumbnails and whitespace, but this is a complete site rewrite, both in the backend and the frontend. Nothing to do with what you mention.

Personally I will also quit once they force us to use the redesign because I find it to be slow and, let's say, not "productive" enough.

I’m certainly not saying you can only choose reliability or durability. I don’t think there’s a fundamental exclusivity between them. But practically, I don’t know of a phone that does both.

Certainly some old phones will work. And likely even still work as a phone. My point was that iPhones are more likely to still run and be useful based on their market price. The Nexus 5X price isn’t zero, someone still uses them. But it’s lower.

It’s cool your Nokia works as a podcast player. Does it work as a phone? I loved my old Nokia, but never found them effective enough as a smart phone. But my feature phone from 2004 still boots up and I can play the snake game I bought.

> The rich tend to adopt or do what the rest cannot very early and a good many things do trickle down... I remember the days in the 70s when flying was too expensive for families to consider.

Electricity as well. The very first few installations of electricity in homes by Edison were in Pierpont Morgan's home and soon followed by Morgan's friends' homes.

It makes logical sense too that it should be this way because early on, tech is usually very expensive and highly experimental such that if it fails, only the rich can afford the losses and upkeep.

Self driving cars, when perfected, will dratically reduce the number of cars.

Once there Uber self driving cars will then be both cheaper, safer and more reliable than your own car. And you don't need to park them. Only those with special requirements (ie professionals that need to store equipement in their car) need to have their own, the rest of us can use a taxi service.

Furthermore, when human driven cars are removed from the roads, road capacity could increase by 50-100% or more, as the distance between cars (in both dimensions) can be safely reduced.

Also, you will not need to pick up your children/parents/others that cannot drive. For instance, if you drive your kids to school, you likely have to drive both ways, doubling traffic (and wasting your time).

For commuters, self driving cars also lend themselves were well for ride sharing, having cars that function like full office spaces or entertainment sources, meditation rooms or whatever you can think of. If all cars are self driving, the speeds will could be regular, and uncomfortable acceleration/deceleration avoided.

Finally, the tech going into this is likely to be generalizable to other kinds of machinery, such as mining machinery, construction machinery, automated chefs, as well as the functions in manufacturing that have not already been automated.

I think the potential of the end state should be quite clear. The total economic potential is huge. Anyone able to attain near monopoly for one of the technologies going into this (software, sensors, traffic control centers, etc) stand to be the next Google.

That said, I think it is unlikely that it will take off in full until between 2025 and 2035. Now, we are in a situation similar to the .com era around 1998. If history repeats itself, 2023 may be a great year to invest in robotics startups, provided we see a bubble bursting.
> however these changes did not hurt reddit

Maybe not in numbers, but the user base changes. Users who value in depth conversations may feel alienated by the changes of reddit, pushed away by such a redesign.

I also feel very much alienated by the pushy (almost dark pattern) "use our mobile app" popups on mobile. AMP made that even worse, before that my phone asked me if I wanted to open my reddit app (not the official one), now I get the mobile AMP page with a big "Continue" button, which does not continue to the mobile page, but to the official apps store page.

Reddit moved its focus away from discussions, towards beeing an advertisement platform. I've quit it because of that
What he's saying is that a human will, in those conditions, build up a speed in advance that is exactly enough to get up there before the speed has dropped too much (due to having to back off on the speed to keep traction. The computer can do the latter, but can it do the former? Probably when we get AI. But we don't have AI. Just machine learning.)
One of the reasons that Berlin is so popular is that everything works smoothly (everything is relative, of course), and it has a great, multicultural social life.

We service Fortune 50 customers in a similar business to what Matasano did. This side of the business is definitely harder than the hacking / technical work. It can be tough to deal with and structuring bigger deals is important. Fast payment is not only important to not being at risk, but a short cash conversion cycle is basically more capital available at lower revenue. Kind of like velocity in the Agile dev world, only for money. There are diminishing returns (edit: in attempting to lower CCC) and large customers will throw you into the meet grinder that is their AP.

Friends with benefits: Δείτε πως θα κάνετε την κολλητή σας να σας ερωτευτεί
There's interesting work being done by the guys working on the Unity game engine. Their new data-oriented programming model (still based on C#) promises efficient packing of objects into arrays of properties which (supposedly) results in massive performance gains thanks to sequential processing. They also have a custom compiler optimized for this scenario. However, AFAIK there are no plans to provide this separately from the engine (on the other hand, they've been separating out a lot of functionality into optional modules so you can go really light).
This is the most important lesson, and one I wish I had learned at my last start up. It drifted along and eventually failed for a variety of uninteresting reasons. But really we should have killed it much earlier when it was obvious that it wasn't going anywhere. (Unfortunately at that time it also was making just enough money to keep things turning over)

We’re quite confident at delivering and already have a prototype going. However, most of the engineers are still part-time on this and I’d like to secure something from a prospect to be able to raise funding.

We could potentially phase the product. The other thing we were thinking of is a paid POC/trial.
This also depends on your definition of value. Sure Elon is good for promotion and endlessly raising funds, but how do you compare that to actually engineering the product, producing it etc.
Regarding the "number 1" value proposition, and given your audience is the small-business type, creating the "why" from the "what" is normally a small step.

For example, the "what" is "free forever", so the "why" is "save money and not increase monthly software subscription fees, keep my budget in line with the size of my business, grow with you, etc." Just change the point of view, and you'll get your why.

The "what": super cool features that provide enough flexibility for the credit, but simple interface.
The "why": because small business is about ideas, and ideas need a voice and a face. And sometimes the idea is a quick one and I only have a few hours this weekend and the site needs to be done ASAP. Hope this helps you get the wheels turning.

My other feedback is styling: make the text not be aligned or sized so one word is left hanging below a full line. Check different phone screen layouts maybe? Just bugs me to look at. But I do like the overall color a lot. Nice!
