alrighty_then Makes sense a robot company would leverage Air BnB to jump into various housing environments, but trashing them is not permissible. San Fran problems. Reply
Notton On the one hand, that robot startup deserves to be trashed on On the other hand, AirBnB and using residential housing as a hotel should also not be a thing But then again, this is SF, where the government allows Waymo to block firetrucks and run over kids, with no oversight. Reply

All cities make concessions to their major employers. Sometimes too many, sometimes too few. Encouraging their productive enterprises is not bad thing. This company just needs a "fixer" cleaning up behind them like a out-of-control rock band at peak earnings and drug abuse. Reply
USAFRet techbro idiocy. It would have been trivially easy, possibly even cheaper, to mock up household furnishings in a warehouse, or even a storage area. But no…AirBNB is where their headspace is, so lets use/abuse that. Who cares! Reply

Co BIY ingtar33 said: Waymo is a robo-taxi. explain who it's employing. They employ around 2,000, mostly in the bay area, with the corporate headquarters at Mountain View and an office in San Francisco. The spin offs of that are likely substantial with legal, accounting and consulting contractors. Those are all pretty good jobs even for California. I have no particular love for Waymo or idestructiverobot.new ect… but tech innovation is the Bay Area's main productive enterprise and that should be understood even when not 100% appreciated. Reply

I mean, if your interpretation of mowing down kids with cars and blocking emergency services from reaching their destination is "not a bad thing", then I don't know what to say to you. I guess, for starters, go look up what the "Social Contract" is, and why we once eliminated child labor in the western world. Reply
