To get the glorification you need to consider that those men and women are willingly exposing themselves to mortal danger. This kind of thing is hard to understand for someone who has spent all their life in an all white upper middle class

Stop fighting bullshit wars halfway around the world and you’ll have plenty of capable volunteers. No one wants to get their extremities blown off just because some military industrial complex CEO needs another beach house.

I prefer the term “biological” rather than “cisgender” in this particular case because we are discussing the presence or absence of particular organs, not one’s gender identity. But I see your point.

Men don’t have a cervix, and my understanding is most women (the main transmission vector) are already being vaccinated.

Because HPV rarely causes cancer, and Gardasil targets only 4 strains and can have side effects.

Yup. My son is vaccinated with it. That said, I view it as non-mandatory, much like the flu shot. The overall risk of HPV complications is pretty darn low in men.

That’s not what the founders will tell you. Even for employee #1 in 999 cases out of a 1000 it’s not really worth it, if the goal is to get ahead financially.

That’s what people don’t get. It’s only really a decent outcome for the investors and the founders, and then only until you consider how long it took to get there. Front line grunt gets bupkis, and now has to find another job, because fuck

Wouldn’t users who sign up for this also de facto flag their accounts for NSA operatives embedded within Google?

Nice ad for Gardasil

The disappointing part of the US medical system is it doesn’t do much for you unless you’re really seriously ill or about to die. If you’re about to die, it’s the best in the world. If you just eg have a shoulder pain or something — you wil

First surface book was a disaster. I took mine back after a week. Did they fix the BSODs by now? And can it run Linux?

One of the things. They use GPS clocks as well.

Why would you rewrite something that works well instead of just linking to it?

Come back to me when it can handle fog, snow, heavy rain, and areas it hasn’t seen before. Until then it’s just overgrown version of driver assistance.

At least it’s not “people familiar with Elon’s thinking”, because that’s the journalistic standard nowadays.

Just push Trump to do what he promised to do during his campaign: allow the importation of drugs. The rest of the world is mostly paying more reasonable prices, it’s only us, USians who are getting reamed by the pharma cartel.

By the time this happens you’ll be “overqualified” and “unlikely to be happy”, and therefore unemployable.

Carbon credits don’t really do anything for the environment. Giving up a car, picking a smaller house, not traveling, and not having kids would be meaningful steps, but that’s not really an option even for people who make their livelihood f

The goal is to erode TF user base. Too little, too late: PyTorch is already very effectively eroding the TF user base.

I actually thing "NUMA SMP machines" are about due for a renaissance with the advent of extreme multicore CPUs. Next year we will see CPUs that run 32 cores (64 hyperthreads) per socket, and don't cost an arm and a leg. Curre

Could it be also change in your environment? I had depression for most of the 00s. Changed jobs, and six months later it was gone. Company that helped me not be depressed was Google, and I’ll be forever thankful for that. I took up exercise

This also needs to use Go, Rust, and Haskell at a minimum.

What you’re saying is that without good execution ideas are worthless. What I’m saying is without good ideas execution is worthless. Often good ideas are not really this momentary and ephemeral thing. They’re a culmination of significant in

That’s because you don’t get promoted there unless you do something new and super complicated. That’s also part of the reason why Android SDK is such a pile of garbage, the other part being they rush half baked shit to market all the time.

The idea in those cases was worth a negative hundred million dollars.

I’ve seen plenty of people lose hundreds of millions because their ideas were garbage.

That’s what people who never have any decent ideas like to say to those who do.

Of course all of these robots will cost jobs. I’m reading “The Grapes of Wrath” right now, and it all happened before, except back then it was not robots, but tractors. Lots of people were flung into direst poverty imaginable, some died, so

TF doesn’t use Maven. Also, its build system lets you build it for a lot of different platforms in a uniform fashion, and speeds up the development cycle due to fast incremental builds and built in incremental, parallel, multi-language test
