True. Let's not forget that they are rebranding Office 364 as Microsoft 365 Copilot.

>Though I suppose an investigation into the matter would arguably have to look at whether a competent human driver would be driving at 17mph (27km/h) under those circumstances to begin with, rather than just comparing the relative reaction speeds, taking the hazardous situation for granted.

Sure but also throw in whether that driver is staring at their phone, distracting by something else, etc. I have been a skeptic of all this stuff for a while but riding in a Waymo in heavy fog changed my mind when questioning how well I or another driver would've done at that time of day and with those conditions.

How would that help in the investigation?

Yes, please visit LA.

Sounds like the main problem was the private equity, which probably drove those devs out.

>The post office will attempt to deliver if you put an address on it.

I still find it fascinating that we developed this human system, with expectations that are still in play, even if some aspects become less and less relevant, it's still an important tool beyond being dependent on technology.

> Contemporary work culture influenced its creators, so you’re likely seeing a reflection of that when you watch the show.

Many of the writers on the show have only ever worked in show businesses, which is its own mutation of work culture. Not many have actual worked in stereotypical corporate work situations.

Mike Judge (Office Space, Silicon Valley, etc) probably comes closest having started in corporate life and made a transition.

It's the general knee-jerk reaction that's brought out whenever people try and have modern ideas for the US, like modern healthcare or high-speed rail. "B-but, it's so big!"
