Yep. Quite simply, the 0.1% of the US population here on HN does not care about privacy nor protesting nor writing to their local or state government.
HN needs to stop living in a bubble. Only 1/3 of the US even bothered voting in the Trump v Clinton presidential election. I'll let you think about that for a moment. Now think about border searches. Has your phone been searched? Neither has mine. I'll go back to my company catered lunch now.

K80s and K40s have a K. That's two generations old. We are currently on P and about to be V. If you think K80s are good, you are far far behind the times in machine learning. A single 1080Ti even in a 4U server outperforms 2 K80s.

Do you know how few people on HN even own any cryptocurrency? It's likely close to 1-2%. It's been like that for the past 5 years.

Still too expensive. Instead of biasing your user studies with big companies that already use your product, you should listen to the greater population of potential users. But hey, that's startup 101 and I don't expect you to know that.

> store them securely in a password manager and use different passwords for each account​
You are about the 2% of the tech crowd (i.e, bay area software/data people). The vast majority of engineers do not use a password manager, let alone the entire US populace.
You severely overestimate the amount the average person cares about password security.

Here's another data point. I've never been to one of their shows. I don't plan on it. I'll go if I have time. Elephants or no elephants does not contribute to my decision.

> Unless I really have to now, I'm avoiding Uber and driving myself to the airport. Uber has proven they don't care about passenger safety, and only care about profits.
You do that. Me and the tens of thousands other riders will continue to use Uber for airport trips despite owning a car. I just wanted to counter your antecdote with mine.

Delays don't seem to be part of the process at Slack, Google, or any of your top tier software companies.
Tesla? Delay after delay. Want to cite auto industry, I can point more successful examples.

Data science is absolutely based on degree level. Software engineering, maybe 50% of people care about your degree.

> The actual decision-making is still heuristics and hard-coded rules.
The planning system always be hard coded rules. Perception, fine, throw the latest CNN at it. Planning and control, better stick to the DMV/NHTSA traffic book.

I love Elon as much as the next guy. I think SpaceX, Tesla, OpenAI and even Neuralink are great companies tackling meaningful problems and wish them the best.
The Boring Company however, yeah, he messed this one up.
HN is full of Elon fanboys. I'm one myself. The die hard, willing to say "the world is flat" fanboys are out here defending him. Look, I like Elon. But the sane fanboys are trying to save Elon a lot of headache by not pursuing this venture.

Net impact on society: You and all your friends use UberPool to get around San Francisco for a few bucks one way. No more car insurance or car lease payments for 24 year olds. Now the Uber riders can afford their medical bills or college tuition. Uber is bad, right?
Very few people care about the direct negative externalities you mentioned, including here in HN.
