> In terms of user experience I would expect the car to continue to the destination.

I ultimately hope this is a question answered by legal standards rather than by "user experience." If we're requiring drivers to be present even in autonomous cars, then they need to pull over and possibly take other alerting actions.

> The commenter discussing the use of sensors to detect the state of the driver and act accordingly makes more sense.

Are they asleep or merely in a diabetic coma? Can we tell? If we can't, should we even try this?

Ultimately, I'm really concerned about this line: "Improvements in this case meant altering night-shift protocol to have two safety drivers instead of one."

Humans may be bad drivers, I'd say a good look at the data would suggest otherwise; even so, the lesson for Waymo should be "Humans are also bad engineers."
Start by picking a small and underserved “something” to master. Then let your expertise expand from there.

Or, you know, reflect on why being exceptional is so important to you. Maybe it doesn’t need to be.
Not OP, but my guess... Most devs aren't frontend devs and I would categorize this as mostly a frontend developer problem.

I've seen lots of enterprise saas vendors leave simple things broken in their product for years and years because they like the fact that it spurs the customer to "reach out and engage in further discussion".

wouldn't surprise me at all if merc sales people like that their customers come back to chat every year or so.

I have just asked a related question and I think you and I share lots of common traits.

Both of us lack of specialization and this is due to lots of factors I'm afraid.

I didn't say anything about penalizing them. The point is that it's a shrewd business move planned out years ago. It wasn't done out of purely good intentions and may not have the desired effect, and many people seem to miss that.
If you are asking a question you should preface the title with 'Ask HN:', otherwise people will think you're sharing a link and if they know the answer they won't click on your question.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer, and I came here expecting a link to tell me the answer :)
The relationship between labor and management/capital has historically been adversarial in all countries, in many cases much more so than US. I mean, US didn't have an attempted socialist revolution, for one - several European countries did.

And yet they developed a working system involving unions out of it all. There's no reason why we can't, too.
I have extensive experience with pharmaceutical anti-depressants and with psilocybin.

It's not the introspection that causes psilocybin's anti-depressant quality. Mood and improves, and phantom pain diminishes by about 12-24 hours, regardless of the qualities of the trip, and continues to rise for a couple of days. Even if the trip is relatively non-descript, or is difficult, the internal change is still very clear.

A euphoric trip overshadows this change, obviously.
I actually really like my 2016 C-class. It has a “hold” feature where, if you are at a stop light, you can give the brake pedal an extra push to “hold” the brakes and you can then take your foot off the brake pedal to rest, while the car keeps the brakes on. Then, when you start to accelerate, it automatically releases the brake and you go, just as if you swapped from the brake pedal to accelerator. You can also do this on a hill!

This is a killer feature for me and I will look for it in my next car.

It also has this eco game thing, where you earn “points” when you drive efficiently, and it penalizes you for driving inefficiently (hard acceleration, braking instead of coasting, inconsistent speed). This “game” has transformed the way I drive, it should be in every car.

I will say that I’ve had two warranty repairs (one very serious - the alternator pulley exploded on the highway) and the car is only at 36,000km. Kinda happy it’s a lease!

You are holding unions to a standard that corporations can't achieve.
You really expect it to work out cheaper than an ICE car? Interesting. The Model S, as a data point, is one of the most expensive cars you can own, by total cost of ownership over five years. The 3 is cheaper but still pretty expensive for the class it's in. I guess if you plan on keeping it 10-20 years it might eventually recoup the high capital cost in fuel savings, but that's a pretty daring bet. Good luck!
What traffic do you inspect and log? If someone works in an industry like healthcare could you sign a BAA?
Police DO wear body cameras! For example, there was a shooting in Albuquerque, with five police officers present, and all five officers were wearing cameras.

Unfortunately, all five cameras malfunctioned at exactly the same time and none of them captured footage of the shooting [1].

What a crazy, unlikely circumstance.

If these were paid for by those who used them

Well, they are. That's the 9/10th of a cent that drivers pay on each gallon of gas they purchase.

IMO, it should be closer to an even five cents, with half of it going to mass transit. But then I also drank milk and Pepsi mixed together when I was a kid, so I'm not exactly reliable.

To highlight where I'm coming from, $37k USD is around $52K AUD, which then if you consider onroad and dealership costs, lands you in the ballpark of $60k AUD.

The point of peer review is to stop bad research, not fake research. The reviewers are supposed to make sure that the methods used to acquire the data are clearly documented and that the conclusions drawn from the data follow from the data that was collected.

They can't verify that the data collected actually was collected without literally watching over the shoulder of the researcher while the researcher was collecting it, which is obviously not feasible. A researcher actively trying to deceive the reviewer with fake data but with a good method for collecting that data and analysis of the data that would be correct if the data were real is not something that should be caught by a reviewer. That should be caught by someone reproducing the research after publication.

It doesn't sound like a great situation to be in. It sounds like the founder has strong opinions. I suspect he subscribes to Trunk Based Development[1] and Continuous Delivery[2]. He also likely wants to follow the practises that "leading organisations" follow in "Accelerate: State of DevOps Report"[3]. You might find it beneficial to research those subjects prior to discussions with him.

EVs, mile per mile, are less expensive by half to operate than an internal combustion vehicle [1]. Length of ownership, cost of petrol, and cost of electricity all play into the calculation of course. My Illinois home obtains power at 1-2 cents/kwh between midnight and 5am (Time of day metering, nuclear power); it's almost free for me to charge my Model S there, while my gasoline costs would be ~$3/gallon. I expect my cost of power to decrease as renewables continue to come online, displacing natural gas and coal (Illinois provides a zero carbon subsidy to Exelon's commercial nuclear fleet to keep them in operation).

I can't afford a Tesla, or really any new car, but I love simple machines that just work.

I have an old 80's Toyota truck that I just can't part with.
It wasen't over engineered, nor complicated. Just a vechicle I can work on, if needed? It starts, and goes. I've worked on it in the middle of s desert, with a chesp socket set.

If Tesla's do break down infrequently, they should include that in the advertising. Even though I used to be a mechanic, and a electrician the vechicle looks daunting on a mechanical level. It doesn't help that the company, like all automotive companies, don't want their customers working on their vechicle.

(Tesla has so much potential, but it needs a calm, cool, practical commander. I feel, with the right management, Tesla could become the model A of this generation?)
> I cannot for the life of me rationalize spending so much on a car. The $35,000 just doesn't make sense in New England, so I need to add in AWD. Then I need to add in the autopilot because isn't that the point of owning a Tesla so you don't have to drive your car someday? Now, with government incentives, this car is $50k.

Nah, that's only if you're throwing in LR and a Premium Interior.

$35k + $6k for AWD + $5k for AP = $46k.

That's before any incentives or gas savings. And you're also getting an ADAS that outperforms Comma, a huge and growing Supercharger network, and all the OTA updates and hardware utilization to come. Skip Enhanced Autopilot software and you're only $5k over the average new car price (before incentives!).

Tesla has built a profitable EV in a market that treats EVs as loss leaders. The market's about to learn a hard lesson.

On the contrary they seem like perfectly rational responses to an introductory video that is redundant at best and patronising at worst.

I was dissuaded from installing it because I assume the products quality would reflect how little the founders seem to understand people in thinking that it's necessary to accurately detail what a poor start to the day would look like.

That article is paywalled for me, so I did some quick research. It looks like Walmart's gross profit of 25% is almost double that of Costco's 13%. Am I doing the math correctly?

>> Walmart [1]

Total Revenue (TR) = 500,343,000,000

Gross Profit (GP) = 373,396,000,000

Gross Margin = GP / TR = ~25%

>> Costco [2]

Total Revenue (TR) = 129,025,000,000

Gross Profit (GP) = 17,143,000,000

Gross Margin = GP / TR = ~13%

Agree. There's no point in mastering something for the sake of mastering something; you reach mastery as just one more step in a long, rewarding journey.

To address the OP's question, you stay focused on X for a while and one day you will wake up to discover you think of X as an old, faithful friend. Stay focused on X for long enough and it will become like another appendage. Stay focused even longer and X will become like your skin.

If they had those results, they would have put them front and center. Just like if the TSA had ever caught a terrorist, it would be on the 24-hour networks for days.
I'm not sure why they have to be 1 to 1 in worker productivity. They fill the specific roles they're looking for, and the companies aren't very interchangeable in either products or scale so it's hard to compare UX in any standard metric other than marketshare and goods throughput, in which case Walmart is bigger and better.
Our cities are "crowded" and "unlivable"?

If they're so unlivable then why do so many people want to live there that they're crowded? Especially when the country is full of suburbs...suburbs, where, in fact, most people live.

Our cities are way less dense than many European cities. In fact they are way less dense than they used to be in many cases.

It's supposed to rely on not-fraud because its incentive structure is not supposed to reward gaming the system (the way that "you get money" incentivizes fraud in a market system). A certain amount of good faith is presumed because the people who are eventually found retracted en mass will have a rough time getting work in the future, and because they won't be any closer to getting work published that will make them well-known scientists in the future.
Don't worry -- what usually happens is that someone will show up to complain that the average person in the 3rd world has a much smaller income, therefore you are out of touch.
What could help you stay sane is to recast how you view your job.

Here is one way to think about it: your job is to help establish a culture of improved reliability. You are accountable for improving the process but you don't have the authority to decide the process.

A large part of being successful in this role is sales.

There is a pattern that works fairly well at starting a new engagement. Initially, the main goal is not to fix things; instead you need to focus on building trust. As you've found out, without trust, you won't have success.

The easiest way to build trust is to find a problem that the team acknowledges and is small. Tell them how you will solve the problem and have them agree. Solve the problem. Then repeat with another problem until you have some trust.

A good indication that you have enough credibility is when they stay asking for your input. Now, you need to find a problem that they are blind to or have given up on solving. Convince them it's a problem worth solving. Metrics are your friend here. Then get buy-in for your proposed solution. Keep visibility add the work is solved. Sacrifice overall speed for immediate partial wins.

At this point, hopefully you've reached a credibility tipping point and established a good working relationship.

I also had advice for dealing with change resistance, but that is not your problem. Your problem is building your personal credibility by delivering something the team cares about and wants solved.

Try not feel insulted. It's not possible. They're only human. :)

LocalStorage is so much more preferable than cookies, I agree, however as SSR ("server-side-rendering") of heavy client-side JS apps becomes more prevalent, suddenly cookies are back in business.

If the initial SSR needs some initial client-state to complete its work before sending the HTML payload, it can see the cookie, but not localStorage.

The result of successful banking API fraud is "I get a lot of money".
