Hi. HELLO. About that BOI filing that some of you are starting to receive notices about - double check that letter/email/phone call for details because it could be a scam.
To be clear, filing a BOI is a legit thing that some businesses will need to do, but the FILING IS FREE

What do the editors of this magazine think their job is?
"Too many kids are getting extra time on tests!" should immediately be followed by "how many kids are getting extra time on tests?" If you don't know, either find out or write about something you do know.

This op-ed is truly terrible.
A few obvious failures:
🔹 Why are Waymo's self-reported data treated as fact?
🔹 Why does the writer ignore myriad ways to save lives that are cheaper, more reliable, and quicker than waiting for AVs?
🔹 Why doesn't he mention he's a VC partner?

“There’s a public health imperative to quickly expand the adoption of autonomous vehicles.”
Would the author say the same about building bike lanes? Installing automatic traffic cameras? Requiring Intelligent Speed Assist?
All of those are proven to save lives — and at a fraction of AVs' cost.

Youtube comments always help so much, same with likes. It is silly how much better my videos that get a few of each do compared to ones that don't.
PRO TIP
If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot
leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason.
I hate doing it, but I've been trying to do it.
