Of all the massive cash fires at Google (Cloud) you’re concerned about the shark photonics lab? That one might actually pay off some day with meaningful improvements in marine fiber optic cables. Given how important deep sea optics are for

Like most people in the suburbs the OP could probably answer in the affirmative. My brother does this professionally and he gets by just fine without any such machines. It’s kind of a selling point for people who don’t want fumes, dust and

Hard agree. One of the most shockingly rude inventions. High CO2 emissions, particulates, dust and noise. And it only really works for one person until their neighbors blow all the debris back over the fence. Fortunately California already

Yes it is a valid argument. This is exactly why Ron Wyden wrote section 230 and why nobody has a replacement that isn’t suspect as a bill of attainder. A light amount moderation is easy. Doing that everywhere is hard. The same thing works

That’s much more than I would have expected. ~3.5% is a significant operating expense. Not sure why it should be higher. Most companies don’t spend that much on R&D for example (tech companies are exceptional in this regard).

Not sure what you’re talking about. My work has been using Google meets and I would strongly disagree here. Google hangouts has been relatively fast (by Google standards) at adapting to the market needs and improving its features. It also r

America being a former colony illegalized this possibility 230 years ago. The British being the the former global superpower lack such laws and they will thus eventually be ruled by a foreigner with an Oxbridge education.

Yes. I assumed basic knowledge of the fauna of Northern Europe which includes oxen and walruses.

This article is great, though it does omit one modern offshoot of this ancient alliance and that is the CD-ROM. Developed in collaboration between Phillips in Eindhoven and Sony in Tokyo. I've heard that the meeting of the two companie

Really a cool project. Thinking about how to describe and elephant: like a giant ox but with big ears a long protruding nose and tusks (not not for female Asian elephants). Can easily see how that game of telephone would go sideways.

A car is privately owned and oriented toward a small scale family/individual. It can go from anywhere to anywhere at anytime (assuming roads). Unlike a railroad which achieves much greater efficiency but requires more fixed schedules

This is one of those ‘well actually’ type of statements that assumes that there is a single correct definition of a concept and it is defined by a consortium of researchers 5 years ago. The the term already had common definition and widespr

This is not a recent trend. America has had a big political issue over large industry since day one. The Jeffersonian vision of a nation of yeoman farmers (who maybe owned slaves) vs. an industrial economy built on science and technology. T

Hyper-capitalist Singapore provides public housing to about 80% of citizens. It’s a pretty functional system. You can have landlords and private land owners but they need to provide more value than a default. https://en.wikipedia

In the past I have also thought along the lines of exit criteria and it didn’t work for me. The correct answer is you should leave soon. Exit metrics leads to thinking like “as long as I’m learning I will keep at it.” Or “as long as I like

Hard to estimate how much coal is burning per year but the answer seems to be a significant amount. Up to 1% if global CO2 from China (second largest coal reserves at time of writing). This would potentially put the figure at a reasonable l

It’s easy to say that the crippling cost of higher education is behind this drop. And while college admins are slowly turning the screw on American students, this is more of a gradual process. The immediate drop here is from foreign student

It depends but it is not uncommon in certain fields (only computer adjacent fields are growing like this in the US). At lower levels for high performing individuals in FAANG adjacent areas it is very doable. Having spent a good portion of m

Digging in it looks like this is mostly driven by energy (oil). Of course there is oil in everything so that will spill everywhere sooner or later.

Technically untrue, but if you are required to pay union dues then membership is effectively mandatory. It depends on State Law here. Some states are "right to work" so people can opt out, but this effectively destroys the Union.

I think that the difference here is a matter of principles. A lot of people view corporations in a justifiably negative light (very few people say that corporations are an unalloyed good, and I have never heard anyone wish that they could w

The original 1948 constitution stands with a series of amendments. The June Democracy movement of 1987 did not rewrite the constitution, they merely passed an amendment limiting the powers of the executive branch and strengthening democrati

Resistance to Unions in America is pretty deep. This is a 150 year old issue that previously involved hiring consultants with guns to shoot at anyone who dared to ask for an 80 hour work week. I doubt that a crew of modern consultants did m

This is very cool. A few quick questions: 1.) Would it be possible to buy the model and integrate/host it on my own machines? 2.) Would you consider making solutions for embedded ML in the future?

The answer to this question has always been ideology. Establishing a deep an sincere belief in the purpose of an undertaking on the part of its functionaries is the most durable way to run a community of any sort. Successful anarchist prog
