Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Cruise wasn’t hiding the pedestrian-dragging video from regulators — it just had bad internet / An independent review of an incident in which a driverless Cruise vehicle dragged a pedestrian over 20 feet concludes the company has connectivity issues.

My expectations for journalists are low but goddamn

To be fair that one is as old as journalism. I bet Ea-nāṣir paid off the Dilmun Daily for an editorial explaining that there has never been a single ingot of substandard copper out of his workshop, and all accusations to the contrary were from disgruntled competitors.

Sadly this is not about journalists, but about 'independent' accountants, and it is now done at scale, but yes it has been done before it just leads to bad places.

Ah yes, i thought you were commenting on the verge repeating the claim. When I think about Arthur Andersen’s involvement in the collapses of enron & worldcom I do vaguely remember it came out that they had a hilarious dress code but I guess didn’t have any rules against rampant corruption.

Ah bikeshedding, dresscodes are easy, preventing corruption is hard, so lot more attention will be paid to dresscodes.
