The nature of Swiss cheese is that it can't be all hole and there has to be some non-hole too
Raclette is Swiss cheese without holes. That is proper ADT in this anaology.

Interesting. I hadn’t considered it but that makes a lot of sense. I wonder if that happens per car or per ride. Do aggression settings adjust to apparent passenger comfort?
Unclear, I’ve noticed both timid and aggressive on the same day in different cars so maybe not?
Who carries a separate work cell phone?
Anyone who doesn’t want some corporate IT administrator to be able to fat finger bricking their phone, or install corporate spyware on a personal device.

Genuine question-
How does Govt picking winners and losers going to help?
Intel is no Too big to fail Bank. Why save Intel of all chip manufacturers? Wouldnt it be like 25 years too late, with Intel and its heydays !?
Would Govt now ensure parity by investing in "marquee" entities across different industrial domains?
> How does Govt picking winners and losers going to help?
By ensuring that the US retains at least the ability to manufacture second tier CPUs vs complete reliance on Asia? This doesn't seem unreasonable.

I have only taken a couple Waymos but I had the opposite experience. They were much faster and more decisive than I expected. They do apparently learn from surrounding drivers and this was LA so maybe that explains the difference.
It wouldn't surprise me if each Waymo has one of a pool of aggression settings - I've noticed the difference between cars as a rider.

I'm from the UK, took driving lessons in the UK but then passed my driving test in the USA (in California).
The USA driving test is so much easier than the UK one!
UK: Varied junctions and roundabouts, traffic lights, independent driving (≈20 minutes via sat nav or signs), one reversing manoeuvre (parallel park, bay park, or pull up on the right and reverse), normal stops and move-offs (including from behind a parked car), hill start, emergency stop.
California: Cross three intersections, three right turns, three left turns, lane change, backing up, park in a bay, obey stop signs and traffic lights.
My understanding is that the USA test is so much easier because it's hard to get by in most of the USA without a car, so if the test was harder people would likely just drive without a license instead.
Similarly, when I did a US driving test (with a UK license), the examiner himself commented on the relative difficulty.
Go is the one being discussed as ignoring history.
C# thankfully was designed by someone that appreciates type systems, maybe you should revisit it.
Not enough to add sum types or exhaustive pattern matching... now F# - that was appreciated by someone that appreciates type systems.
No one is asking for sum types, what Pascal does would already be a huuuuge improvement.
But I guess Go devs love to type their beloved boilerplate, it gives fuzzy feelings.
It wouldn't move the needle at all except people looking to nitpick.
And concretely, _I_ want Sum types in Go. I also want them in C# and every other language I might have to use.
There is a lot to say about Java, but the libraries (both standard lib and popular third-party ones) are goddamn battle-hardened, so I have a hard time believing your claim.
You can believe what you like, of course, but "battle tested" does not mean "isn't easy to abuse".
