    Took a Waymo (driverless car) this week

    The autonomous car has no morals, but makes choices based on weighted risk / harm outcome rankings that are decided upon when creating the algorithms. Those risk rankings are generated by real people; engineers, programmers and lawyers. One example of predetermined risk weighting is below...

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    Yup. But the early adopters will get a free ride until the sites figure it out. Plus, how many of these will really sell, if it moves beyond vaporware, for the reasons above. The concept is intriguing, though. Pull a fully equipped travel trailer with a Ford Maverick, anyone?

    Fisker is toast.

    Absolutely not. Fisker and Tesla are not competitors. In 2023, Tesla sold more vehicles each and every day than Fisker sold all year.

    An yes, if you're buying a Fiskar and don't realizing you're gambling... I don't know who can help you.

    Fisker is toast.

    ??? Not sure how that would / could work. Fiskar buys their cars back? They're broke... But hey, it's a great time to buy a cheap Fiskar. Sorry to the 3 people who bought one last month at MSRP. https://electrek.co/2024/03/27/fisker-slashes-msrp-ocean-trims-fights-to-stay-in-business/...

    T-Hangar neighbor. WWYD?

    I had one of these guys for a neighbor. Except he always slid his door open hard and far enough it would bend the lock pins on my doors (in the same track) at a wonky angle and jam them. Repeatedly. So I had to close his door, then get airport maintenance to push mine back into position with...

    Radon

    Marketers will always be looking for another way to make a buck. The radon pathway is interesting, though, and real. As natural Uranium in the ground decays, it transforms through a series of other elements, at some point getting to Radon gas, and then further on to other stuff. The Radon...

    Alaska Airlines explosive decompression 1/5/23

    Yes, but only for certain customers. These aren’t cell phones. I might argue that many business models, and likely much of the domestic air service market, customers are not looking for revolutionary change, but maintaining their conservative, low risk status quo with minimal change. Example...
