Based on a quick google, you have about a ~0.01% chance of your airbag being stolen in a given year. How many black people should we stop and frisk to solve that problem, I'm a little rusty on the math?

> being mugged Mugging is a violent crime and should be policed - but studies also show that people vastly overestimate their risk of being mugged. It definitely happens, but I am very skeptical that "broken window" policing

Why? And what sorts of petty crime? If the solution is more damaging than the problem, (and where I grew up, with jumpout vans driving around to stop and pat down random groups of teenagers, it certainly was) then the solution seems unneces

Yes I understand pytorch quite well - I was merely confused because I consider the C++ library to still be pytorch. I don't see the advantage of this setup over just loading a torchscript model in C++ or any other static language. A fu

> Well easier than bundling pytorch on an embedded device. I don't follow - wouldn't nimtorch also require bundling pytorch on an embedded device?

Great comment. NoVa definitely has some strong talent and you're correct in highlighting Capital One specifically (they recruit heavily at my alma mater and I know a number of talented people who work there). You're also correct a

Security is a small part of the overall tech industry. I live near Bethesda and I would hardly call the region a tech hub on par with any of the ones in the West coast.

I've been looking for something like this for... so long. It's like tiddlywiki but with first class & local markdown! Thank you!!! Add a separate GUI for a workflow-y like list-editing (that saves as a markdown list format) an

If it's clear what you're saying, then it is okay to say it. Nobody said anything about formal correctness until now.

This pandemic has made this observation abundantly clear to me at least. As David Graeber pointed out, there are a whole host of "bullshit jobs" out there.

Only in your incredibly contrived interpretation of the english language. "Former" would be better here but there is still not any significant ambiguity as to what is meant.

South Bay was probably the cheapest place to buy land at the time, it's only so expensive because now so many companies are headquartered there. I'm still not convinced that east bay is cheaper than south bay now, despite your ass

Because SF & Seattle are some of the best labor markets for tech talent in the world? How is this a mystery?

Why not? I am, and most worrying about "high crime" neighborhoods is pearl-grabbing by people who are afraid of visible poverty anyways.

The english language is full of idiosyncrasies that don't quite make sense. Punc-quote is the correct "formal" way but informally you're free to do anything you want.

The parent comment is pretty obviously ill-informed for anyone who has any familiarity with/adjacency to the print journalism/publishing industry.

My parents, for instance, are both retired now - they quit earlier than they needed to.
