Tesla vehicles can likely be made less vulnerable to this attack than even human drivers navigating via cell-phone GPS since Tesla has inertial measurement units. They are likely 'trusting' GPS signal over IMU currently, but that

Yes, people seem to greatly underestimate how much their own outlook affects others. This is actually an important quality I try to look for when hiring. I've seen some very technically competent leads cause team productivity and mora

Right, the liabilities are hard to determine and those liabilities may increase substantially if simply buried. This is because most types of spent nuclear fuel slowly become "weapons-grade" as the short half-life isotopes decay.

There are plenty of towns and villages where people can live in the economic conditions of the 1800s or 1900s. Almost no one chooses to do so. Economic growth is overall strongly correlated with human prosperity, higher life-expectancies,

Defining clear owners for each repo makes sense, however having a single owner is a problem for most companies: What if the owner goes on vacation but something needs to be merged and released during that time? Yes everyone has a copy, but

Tunnels are a much better solution. More radiation protection and built-in structural integrity. Just use giant LCD panels for natural light shafts for windows.

Yes, this should be a major concern, especially since CTs are used to detect abnormalities. It's very likely that the vast majority of the training data will be what is considered 'normal' for any given part of the body.

Extreme claims like "That the sea will become a killer is a given." require extreme evidence yet nothing is cited. Overly alarmist article from 2017 lacking actual substance.

One method I've found to work well, especially with engineers: Make it clear to the team that the new leader is stepping up temporarily to fill a significant business need. That the engineer is doing the team a favor by doing this and

It really is the greatest business plan ever though. They figured out how to loan money at 28% APR without actually having to loan out any money. Very impressive.

We definitely have. There's huge environmental impact, but that is to be expected. California's Central Valley project is an example, and China has some that are even larger.

Other than a basically unlimited supply of CO2 however, what would the advantage be compared to a just a space station? With Mars, you can mine building materials from the surface.

Look at it from the company's viewpoint. Giving you any feedback other than 'not a fit' is risky with basically zero gain for the company. Many people don't take feedback well, some will attempt to argue or enumerate vi

Some Chinese companies are already making very high-end products. Look at DJI, Huawei 5G and phones, even pure-software like WeChat.

Legislation is typically a very suboptimal solution. Even something like GDPR, which is well-intentioned significantly increases barrier-to-entry for small competitors.

Sure, I'm by no means suggesting deprecating roads. They still serve an important purpose and will always be important for the 'last-mile'. Roads however have significant constraints since you can only build them in two dim

What is the actual goal of environmentalism on earth? If it is to preserve diverse species, then it absolutely makes sense to colonize other planets and spread the wide variety of plants, animals, and other organisms. The earth will eventu

A more point-to-point metro system would be great. The airline industry has been embracing this change for quite awhile. People don't like a hub & spoke system and it doesn't make sense to take everyone to city center which

TPMS is also relatively easy to reset (just read the manual) it does not require professional service. You usually do need to do it seasonally due to fluctuations in outside temp. Drivers should really be aware of it.
