I suggest mixing projects and deliberately splitting time between the various demands but also opportunities: (a) answering job postings but only a half share of that: I feel the normal job pipeline is seriously disfunctional, (b) seriously

Never? There are companies that don't tell which team you will work with, or even what you will do. From what I hear, this is such a minority that they stand out. But it's true that Google's example might make this more commo

Speaking of which, has Waymo / Google spoken recently of why they are not more visible on truck self-driving?

Yes! And without losing sight of the bubble and hype aspect of it all, the speed of these developments is very exciting.

The discourse sucks not just on this topic. To be fair. It's an unsolved general problem (which deserves to put work in.)

It's possible to do both: you can collect your paycheck WHILE looking for a better job (because this one is toxic). And now you know to interview more seriously the people at that potential new employer. An essential part of "the

What's more surprising in there is that it's not Waymo doing this. It's hard to argue that Waymo isn't way ahead of the rest in self driving. And this outfit putting self driving semi trucks on the road is [checks notes]

But then, having a dorm "thrift store" is not a bad solution. Let some curated amount of stuff stay behind and be available to other students. Some stuff needs to be just trashed by responsible adults but otherwise, a university o

"Public domain" is not the same as "published". In practice hardly any of these patents get freed (and at any rate not by placing them in the public domain.) They do expire. At any rate again, in large groups like this,

Was there really at GE much collaboration and sharing of competence between these divisions? Say in the examples you mention of jet engines and medical, or other power electronics and the power electronics of medical, or other RF and the RF

Oh, there are still good finds to be found, no doubt. Some people have fun searching for designer pieces - and they can still do that. My objection is more to crude pricing - which ends up alienating plenty of people it doesn't need to

What was unexpected was the lack of images during the booster reentry. And I don't know where this "exploded on impact" comes from - no evidence of this so far, that I noticed. It feels more like it didn't make it to the

So, it's surprising at first, but as others mention, it seems like a roughly functioning system: The students are rushed by the university to move, move, move. They do what they can which is not much for many, who don't yet have t

Also interesting that part of the value of Y Combinator is to be more track. It's hard to start a business with minimal life experience. All the more so a startup kind of business. There are lots of things to look for, to pay attention

That's a good answer. For art rather than design work: First, the main art buyers have massive pools of artists who want to work for them and apply - just like programmers. In some of these fields, one of the jobs of the art director i
