Does this takeback include the likeness of Roger and Jessica Rabbit from Disney's Who Framed Roger Rabbit? or just the content from the original 1981 novel? From what I can tell, the familiar cartoon movie designs are unique to the D

The article says the reactor they are bringing back on was active until as recently as 2019, so it's safe to say it's probably not uninhabitable.

How much would it cost to build a new reactor with comparable power output?

The sad part is both the web and git were developed as decentralized technologies, both of which we foolishly centralized later. The underlying tech is still decentralized, but what good does that do when we've made everything that use

When I upgraded my desktop, I only needed to pickup a case and a few extra parts to have enough for a functional home theater PC. Running standard Fedora Workstation, controlled with Logitech K400+. I stubbornly refuse to ever connect my TV

I'd be more inclined to work in the office if most of my coworkers weren't in India anyways. I can't exactly have water cooler talk with Manglesh while he's asleep on the opposite side of the planet. At least at home I d

Ask questions instead of making demands. Presumably you hired your engineers because they're smart. If you hired dumb engineers then you have a much bigger problem than a lack of AI utilization.

Crazy idea: Evaluate me based on my output and not which tools I use. If AI is the killer productivity boost you claim, then I'll have no choice in order to keep up.

They've announced an intent to open source it after they collect the bounty. So you could probably do just that.

To be fair, I can't imagine why an app for a thermostat would need regular updates - aside from what's necessary to keep the app functional on modern OS versions.

I would bet $20 over 95% of them have never needed to balance a check book, and probably never will.

My $100k total includes much more than tuition. I probably had ~$40k in actual tuition. Again, it's too much. But it's not comparable to emergency medical bills without insurance.

> certainly not at the 10x - 100x difference in college tuitions. The full time tuition rate at the university I got my engineering degree from is currently $11k /yr. I can't imagine that's even 10x a typical EU university

That's great, but you've missed my point. I get payed more in the US, so I can afford the extra cost for university. And once that university bill is paid, I can pocket the extra. There are still reasons why high university costs

Problem is, as the author points out, designing software solutions is a lot more complicated than writing code. AI might get better in a year, but when will it be good enough? Does our current approach to AI even produce an economical solut

A single session of binge drinking does not an alcoholic make. An "alcoholic" is defined by their regular abuse of alcohol, not a single instance of binge drinking. Binge drinking can obviously be a symptom of alcoholism, but IMO

To be fair, OP didn't say anything about being at the game. Could be at home. 9x 4% 12.5oz beers in 3 hours is quite a lot, but it's definitely something that could be accomplished without the person necessarily having a problem.
