I'm in a similar situation and what's worked so far is to do things incrementally and to make it as easy as possible for the rest of your team to switch over to the new stack. Don't try to replace everything at once if you&#x

The train appears on the car's HUD and the distance appears to be calculated properly before it tries to turn in front of it. I don't think object detection is what went wrong in this case (which is scarier imo).

Upgrading the plant doesn't fix overflows caused or exacerbated by clogged sewers. There's no easy or cheap solution, especially when your sewers are old and under a big city like London.

This is why I wish cover letters were more popular. Having a candidate tell you they don't have much experience using X to do Y but that they'd love to learn to / have been working on it on their spare time is better than hav

Something that stands out to me is that using market cap to estimate a speculative asset is plain wrong. 3 trillion dollars is the GDP of France and 3 times the market cap of Amazon. For a sector that produces not much besides waste heat an

Those suggestions appear in Google chat too and even if you don't click on them, the simple fact of reading the suggestion makes you much more likely to type it yourself. There's clearly a priming effect to it.

Keep in mind the people who will actively post on that subreddit are the people who view loss prevention as something more than just a day job, so I wouldn't view it as representative of the profession. And like every subreddit, it&#x2

JIRA configs are usually the visible manifestation of your organisation's processes. It's Conway's law applied to task management workflows.

No it's not. France and Italy also built a ton of those brutalist commuter towns in the 60s.

You don't need autonomous cars for that to happen. Many cities turn some of their downtown streets into pedestrian streets in the summer and it forces cars to wait to cross at intersections.

Too many things in the way (building foundations, other metro tunnels, sewers, etc.). It's only possible in lower density neighborhoods.

Yup, expropriating land and blocking main roads for months while you dig down and pour concrete for a station is expensive. Although some newer metro lines like Barcelona's line 9 are able to fit most of the stations inside the larger

Quebec politics are complicated but the 1995 independence referendum was 50k votes away from a Yes/Quebexit majority, and independentist parties regularly win at the provincial level. At the federal level the Bloc Quebecois is independ
