I'm not an American but as far as I can tell the Liberal bias is created by the media staying the same and the country moving to the right. I don't really buy the idea that diversity of opinion is something to strive toward. Human

I think this would be difficult because a lot of school reports already come down to re-formatting textbook ideas in your own words. Could be a tough decision of how different it needs to be to be considered original work. might be a lot ea

if blowing up a bunch of people is the only goal there are already much easier ways. I think the martyrdom aspect is as important as the actual terrorism.

I think there's a bit too much exuberance around VR and AR at the moment. I can imagine a future where fully immersive AR is technically possible, but no one uses it because it's annoying or inconvenient. Sort of like how video ca

I tried it in the apple store and hated it, but after a week of actual use I like it much more. Pros: More clicky, almost like a mechanical keyboard with no travel Cons: I apparently used the raised profile of the keys to align my hands. Wi

I think it'll remain a niche gaming device that enjoys a brief burst of popularity then decline to a low steady-state, sort of like the Wii. I just don't see a lot of applications for it beyond occasional escapism. It's an in

its arguable either way. imo China is less ethnically diverse but more culturally diverse. eg. a large portion of the country speaks in a language unintelligible to the rest. regional differences are more pronounced in China. I'd be ha

I think the price and relative scarcity of the truffle is a part of its allure. If it became cheap something else would occupy its niche. At least for me truffles are extremely overrated in the taste department.

to add another anecdote, my phone screen was quite good but at the in-person interview I was told to give a presentation on past work. One person didn't show up and another left in the middle to take a phone call and never came back. A

thats called a loop closure in SLAM systems. You would typically fuse the accelerometer data with odometry in an EKF as the best guess from dead reckoning, then correct that guess when it disagrees with lidar/camera data. Im not sure i

protectionist policies might work if there is only one 1st world country and one 3rd world country, but America's share of world gdp is shrinking rapidly and an attempt to preserve their lead via protectionism is likely to backfire as

Protectionism is bad in general - it works until everyone starts doing it, then everyone is worse off. But the benefits of protectionism in the short term is not equally distributed and China definitely has greater incentive. It worked for

I think the sun would add haze to the horizon and obscure the stars near sunrise/sunset? Also because the solar system is on the galactic plane, for half of the year (winter in the northern hemisphere) the galactic center is behind the
