LAX pushes Uber pickups to a remote lot. It's the wrong direction
Submitted by brad on Sun, 2020-03-08 21:38As LAX and other airports push ride-hail to remote lots (which you have to take a shuttle to in the case of LAX-it) I examine why that's a crazy decision in my new article at Forbes.com. In the article I also touch on how we can eventually move to being picked up, not at the curb, but at the plane, in an airport with lots of robocar pods.
LAX won't let Uber pick you up at the curb. It should be at your plane

Summary of swing state poll results, Democrat vs. Trump
Submitted by brad on Tue, 2020-03-03 14:38I have built a spreadsheet summarizing the recent poll results in head to head polls of a Democratic candidate and President Trump. These are the only polls that matter. Do not look at or cite national polls. Results and pollster quality ratings come via 538.

Panorama of Silicon Valley from Mt. Umunhum and a story of fraud and corruption
Submitted by brad on Wed, 2020-02-19 11:21Recently, we had a day of extremely clear air here in Silicon Valley, so we made our first trip up to Mount Umunhum, the high peak to the south of San Jose, and the former site of a SAGE radar station. Recently it was opened to the public. Close as it seems, it's an hour drive, but fun in the Tesla.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for average people to imagine they can control and use it

We often repeat the misattributed quote that "for evil to triumph, it is only necessary that good men do nothing." We also often cite father Niemoeller's poem about how "First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out -- Because I was not a socialist... Then they came for the Jews ... Then they came for me."
These lines remind us to resist the forces of evil, and to do it early. And we definitely should.

The Dems may have chosen the two wrong articles of impeachment
Submitted by brad on Fri, 2019-12-20 14:56
One has to be impressed in a perverse way at the fact that no Republican broke ranks on Donald Trump in the impeachment vote. Some even defended their votes with passion. I've often felt that since we know several of them loathe Trump that they were just acting out of party loyalty and a sense of self-preservation within their party.
But I start to wonder that some serious number of them, and their voters, don't think Trump's actions are that big a deal. Here's why:
