I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

  • “The men came over to the car again and stood in front of it for a few minutes. Finally when they left, the car was still stalled but I clicked the ‘in car support’ on the screen and they seemed to be aware of the issue,” Amina said. “They asked if I was OK and the car began to drive towards my location. They asked if I needed police support and I said no.”

    When she was almost to her destination, Waymo support called her again to ask if she was ok, she said. “I assured him that I was fine and he told me I would be given a free ride after,” she said. “After many hours I was called one last time by their support team. They asked if I was OK and told me that they have 24/7 support available. They also said I would get the next ride or next two rides (uncertain) free.”

    “In an instance like this, our riders have 24/7 access to Rider Support agents who will help them navigate the situation in real time and coordinate closely with law enforcement officers to provide further assistance as needed,” a spokesperson for Waymo told 404 Media in an email. “While these sorts of events are exceedingly rare among the 100,000 trips we serve a week across Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix, we take them very seriously. We continuously look for ways to improve rider experience and remain committed to improving road safety and mobility in the cities where we operate.”






  • Are you saying that creating literally all the code that make those usability improvements possible is not worthy of praise?

    No, but Microsoft and IBM didn’t create that code.

    Do you only praise the window washer and not the architect or construction worker who built the building?

    That’s not a good analogy. The above-ground building is userspace, the foundation and the window washer are the kernel.

    UX is important but so is the literal foundation it’s built on.

    I’m not dissenting against that. However, the Linux kernel’s foundation has been built to a point where recent contributions to userspace dwarf that to the kernel. Remember, we’re thanking valve for the modern Linux desktop gaming experience. Next thing I know you’re going to go on a diatribe against System76 as well. When I buy a bauble, you’re going to chastise me for praising the designer instead of the plastic worker.

    And again, Valve also contributes to the kernel, so they’re definitely much more worthy of praise, especially without doing Microsoft’s shady stuff.

    This has become boring, and I’m not going to reply further unless you come up with an argument worthy enough for a high school debate club, especially since you’ve recently been following Fann Tzu’s “just downvote and don’t reply”.
