IMO teaching people about passkeys and making the onboarding experience as easy as possible would be many times more effective at actually preventing phishing.
Boom (and supersonic aircraft) are a strategic investment priority for Saudi Arabia to sustain demand for oil. If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about their impact on emissions I don’t know what else does.
It’s one of those experiences you didn’t realize you wanted until you have it.
- No need for chit chat, you can just work / talk on the phone / play music
- No 18-hour shift sweat and deodorant smell
- No cursing at other drivers or awkward apologies because of fear of a bad rating
- Smooth, predictable driving. I have yet to have a “holy shit” moment in a Waymo, but this happens regularly in Uber / Lyft.
Also on safety, about 50% of the population has to worry a lot more about being abducted/hit on/stalked/etc. Uber and Lyft know this and have gone to great lengths to recruit female drivers, set up safety hotlines, etc. Not having to worry about the driver is a big deal.
IDK, It just sounds like some people have bad experiences and is using negativity bias to justify early tech (and ofc a skewed audience who seems to abhor socialties). All my uber rides were boring and uneventful. I see no need to pay a premium to guarantee that.
Meanwhile the driving experience of autonomous drivers is still not at a satisfactory stage for me. Maybe it worked fine in SF, but LA has some pretty rough, unmaintained roads to navigate.
In my previous job I took 1000s of taxis all over Europe getting all kind of experience (including getting in an accident with a drunk taxi driver). Uber are an improvement that removed a lot of shady things but riding a Waymo in Phoenix is for me the best experience as there is almost no unknown.

At the same time every other story involves a horror over "going to dinner." They apparently don't abhor socialities, they just abhor having to be in the presence of the "lower caste."
And Delta has an outstanding order for 100 of them, with delivery scheduled throughout 2025. We'll see if these continued incidents alter that, but I think the inertia is that this is what boeing selling these days. Everyone will have them.
On the other hand, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Spirit, Allegiant and others are all strapped with Airbus A320neos that are going to be grounded shortly due to engine issues related to P&W's GTF engine.
Agree with this. For folks not familiar with Twilio leadership, I would liken Kho to Twilio's version of Tim Cook. For the size and stage of growth that Twilio's at, he's the best possible replacement for Jeff.
I’ve noticed these near-death-experience videos coming up in my recommendations and found it truly odd. They don’t seem to have anything to do with what I normally watch. I have to wonder if they’re the top of the funnel for religion campaigns like “hegetsus”.
That's interesting to me because they showed up in mine but I'd already expressed interest. I don't know why they're being tossed at you.
I honestly don't believe there's much money in the "NDE space". Certainly less than "hegetsus". Which is funny because the vast majority of NDE accounts really make all of the most popular world religions look pretty wrong (including Christianity, although its message of love over all remains... Not that its adherents follow that much or anything).
I'd be curious to know from someone with more knowledge: are there any technological improvements that could prevent this kind of accident?
It seems as though it should be possible (though perhaps not easy) to automatically detect an aircraft on runway and relay that to the approaching aircraft.
With all respect for the coast guard pilots who died, I would say this incident is the "best case" scenario we could hope for when two large aircraft crash on a runway. Had the other plane been carrying passengers the casualties could have easily been in the hundreds.
It seems odd to me that with all the safety advancements in aviation we don't have the technology to prevent this.
Some airports do have ground lighting that changes when it's safe/unsafe to enter/cross runways. No idea if that existed here. I know JFK has it, as I watched it in action the last time I had a layover.
I'm very mixed about B-corp (I say this as someone who went through it about 10 years ago).
There isn't really anything about the certification process that's binding, and it's definitely gamed. There are multiple MLMs that are certified B-corps. I would liken it to those semi-paid 40 under 40 lists that pop up every year.
I think this is right. I do use B-Corp designation as a useful sign post for companies that are trying to do business well that I should consider supporting, but not all B-corps hold true to that, while there are many, many non-"certified B-Corps" that try do business responsibly.
I seem to recall it being just as popular reading here ~7-8 years ago. What has always made HN good is the creation of good material, not the sole presence of it.
