Yes, because it is.

Support independent devs and designers. Pay the money.

So can you elaborate instead of just repeating what the other commenter said?

Geminis is "it really is". The Notebook podcasters use it _constantly_.

I don't care about my career so much, but the weekend and school dropoff thing resonates hard.

Work is the only part of my life where I feel any sort of competency. Anything else I'm just a ship on a stormy sea being battered around. I can change the sails and move the rudder, but the sea takes me where it wants me to go anyway.

The joke was "welcome to your vacation" when people got back from paternity leave for their new kid. I don't think I ever left that vacation.

Time to put in a call to Ellison.

I think Oracle stock would plummet if Ellison got caught pretending to care about ethics. Not that it'd happen lol

Drives better, isn't distracted, doesn't get lost, care are always clean, will always take you where you want to go day or night, and yeah, no human.

Yea, it not that most uber/lyft drivers are bad (most are good), it’s just that all Waymos provide a good experience.

It’s the same reason many people will prefer a chain restaurant to an unknown mom & pop. By knowing what you’re getting, you’re willing to give up the potential for something nominally better to avoid something much worse.

    > car[s] are always clean

This is a real surprise to me. I don't write that to doubt you. How do you think it works in practice? My point: If you have a human in the car, they can keep a closer eye on the car between rides and keep it clean. Without a driver, you lose that. How does Waymo know when a car needs to be cleaned?

Waymo regularly brings the cars in to central service depots for cleaning and battery charging. Also, as a passenger you can report that a car is dirty and it will be pulled out of service for immediate cleaning (and you get a small credit towards your next ride).

"Doesn't get lost" is generous. they always cause so much caos in SF
