Would this rule out self driving cars from the get go?

I argue the opposite, humans adjust their driving depending on what is expected. The current bar is too low. If we were to raise the bar, people would adapt. I would be very interested in some data from places with draconian traffic laws.

It depends. In most typical cases if it is billed by the hour (inc. regular employment) it does not worth it to deliver early. When failure to meet deadlines is expected the optimal time to deliver is after the original estimate. The exact

It is absolutely far fetched as far as I'm concerned. To me it is more plausible the new generation will not even care about insta/snapchat/tiktok. Do people still care about snapchat? Not sure about magic AI generated dispos

Exactly. So when a customer asks for an estimate you negotiate for the biggest buffer you can get away with, there is no incentive to make an accurate prediction.

In my very own experience in a very different country I found if a mouthpiece tries to tell you what to do or think, as a first approximation it is better to do the exact opposite. People usually don't need to be told to look out for t

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Anyone who says the Agile Manifesto and Scrum are not directly at odds is trying to sell you something.

In general I do not think that is true. However I do think official narratives are usually the easiest to digest, people would need to be crazy to believe otherwise. In this particular case I don't think "It's from a bat&qu

lots of people still rather believe in something that "YourDave69" told them on a messenger instead of taking good advise from scientists around the world and working together to get rid of this epidemic. You are right, but why

It is more than likely your perception has changed with 10 more years of experience.

Have you experimented with a more constrained niche like Hackerranking? My take is that people would pay for automating the useless interview rounds or at least to have some handholding. Easier on the scheduling as well. Win-win-win for all

I feel there is also a chicken-egg problem. Is IT hype driven because of RDD or vice versa? I also do not blame any party involved for acting like they do.

This is a legitimate point, and there is no 100% answer. I have a couple of points to consider though. 1. Most offices do not require any kind of formal qualification. Where requirements to be met the pool of candidates must be restricted o

More generous take on the meta: people do understand (some of) the problems involved but are less worried about debugging scenarios than resume padding. The most useful property of microservices is architecturing CVs.

Given that profits are unpaid wages it absolutely does make sense to erect a logical framework that justifies suppressing wages. It would be a mistake to think fairness or moral comes into play as long as it is legally acceptable to discrim

Isn't mass consent, forced consent and opt-outs illegal under GDPR? The legislation is there, why can't we create incentives to enforce it?

Indeed, I will not start a python side project, but at the end of the day a job is not about enjoyment but a paycheck.

Disagree. Imo most content is basically throwaway entertainment (especially social media) thus very interchangeable and has very little value. The internet is simply not that important.

I see no reason to teach Python per se unless people request it. As someone not really familiar with python besides using it instead of one off bash scripts, I have the same feeling about using it. When is python to appropriate language t

Maybe it is my bubble speaking, but the only subtitle synchronization I ever needed were either a constant or a continuously increasing/decreasing offset, both easily solved without pretrained deep neural networks.

I'm not able to follow the logic. Why is it safer? Isn't the exposure from the options additive to holding stock?
