That doesn't really make sense as I pay for GCP and Google Enterprise. They specifically refer to me as a customer and in a roundabout way I pay for their bills. Your statement, while a neat adage, doesn't reflect the complexity o

I have some thoughts on this code: 1. Why is decide_position returning a boolean? The function signature, even without types, doesn't really indicate that it should return a true / false value. Perhaps a better name would be &quot

If you read the HackerNews thread then it was announced, it was widely claimed this was the next big thing. Very curious how so many got it wrong.

It's interesting to see the change in discourse given the opposition to seatbelts from this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39977058

I worked with a rather conservative person who didn't like "README" as he thought that computers should never be aggressive or yell at their pilots. Smart guy, but had some strange tendencies.

My apologies, looks like I need to level up my reading comprehension. I think I am still confused with smabie's authorative sounding comment, then. Why would he say that you can just pay a bribe?

by Freedom2 3y ago
Any reason why not? I'm genuinely curious about your previous comment.

Could you elaborate on this? I had a friend who joked about paying a bribe in Japan or Taiwan, do you think it would work there?

My mother is the least tech-savvy person I know and she found it incredibly easy to intuitively use an EV (Volt). She also borrowed a friend's Tesla and had zero issues with it. Perhaps you are not as tech-savvy as you might think?

Thanks for this! I've recently been exploring how to write a SATB four part harmony for a given melody / bass line, this takes a decent chunk of the boilerplate out for me.

The original commenter said that Tesla had the most selling vehicle in the world "for years". This is not true.

I've been out of the loop with regards to Tesla as of late. Are people who claimed 5 years ago they would be paying off their car with self-driving features to ferry passengers around with a fare still making that claim?
