Waymo or way less than you’d expect?
Waymo is now carrying 250,000 passengers/week in autonomous cars. Transit agencies are falling behind on automation, which can improve service & save money. It's exciting to see DC's Metro taking a step forward in automating its existing lines. We need to be talking about autonomous buses, too.

This is 100% true of being a parent. My typical experience of being a father is 95% “I can’t believe I get to hangout with these three little people that I love” and 5% “I’m so tired I can’t see straight.” But it’s almost impossible to communicate the 95% to someone besides my wife or my parents. I don’t know why this is, but it’s true!

Are you strong and secure enough in your talent and accomplishment to accept the possibility that other people - properly empowered by you - can actually enhance your genius... or will you cling to the idea that only you can be the source of that genius?
Also, things I learned: “a second definition of "nice" is also "precise and demanding careful attention.”
