how much of this is the vehicle itself vs. the infrastructure to support the vehicle? It's hard to envisage a infra buildout across Europe (or US) with the charging infrastructure quickly that would accommodate these sorts of needs, no?

We have driving tests to lawfully operate a vehicle

We have licensure to become a registered nurse

We have certification requirements to become a teacher.

How is it possible to become a deputy national security advisor and not have a basic understanding of our constitution?!

How are stories like this *not* more celebrated? Why do we not decry that our current state is that it is more expensive for *rent* for a Berkeley student than in-state tuition. This is the piece of great news I am so delighted and needed to see today

Well, clearly, Scott, it no longer is a forever war if you just eliminate everyone that you might need to kill. #duh

On a lighter note, perhaps one of the advantages of optimism in the Bay Area is our collective ability to forget~

if Silicon Valley is a f(x) of tech industry, the two can be conflated

If physical distance is the measurement, the two can be conflated

If commute time is the measurement, they're worlds apart

Both have their own special forms of politics and nimby-ism

Mayhap it's less about the proverbial "wisdom of the crowd" and better at getting things right when there is a financial incentive for insider trading on binary outcomes that are at the control of a small and discrete number of actors

Not true - my DeLorean indicates otherwise

Plus - there's a lot of current legislation that, if passed, will take this percentage way up from 20%

on corporate devices, the apps that are permitted vs. non-permitted is controlled centrally by the IT team. (most of the white collar workers at the company carry two phones - their personal device and their work phone).

Ed - the reality is this is new, and many of us do not know. for certain But there are *so many* companies that are defense contractors. For example, General Motors (GM) is a defense contractor. And will GM now enforce this on all of its contractors? The cascading effects are potentially huge

As a fellow bike commuter, I feel this within my soul - so many near miss accidents, and a general antipathy from many drivers (notably the Tesla ones) that they will primarily stop only for other cars, and bikes/pedestrians are a secondary concern
