You “by all metrics that are people centric”. If you look at the other 99.99999% of species, the world is exceptionally bleak. Mass death everywhere, total ecosystem collapse, etc.

Who manages hardware these days? Aurora works quite well.

You are correct. Some young reasonably attractive woman “explores” and what a surprise? There are tons of guys willing to sleep with her, even under X, Y, Z conditions. Much of the publishing industry is filled with hopeful women backed b

Not in computer science. In the valley, Stanford and UCB graduates are common. I know many self-taught ones that get just as much respect.

You clearly have very little contact with the police. How many extended family members do you have on the force? This has to be the most pretentious post I’ve read all day.

Yea I imagine it’s not difficult to have a system where the charging station at your house gets the real-time cost of electricity and honors and system where you pay the lowest if you charge cooperatively. Don’t need to fill the battery ev

When I was young, I thought headhunter was the coolest job title ever. Now my wife is a recruiter, and I think of her as a headhunter. My mental picture of her day is a lot more violent than reality.

Lol, have you been to college? I studied computer science, my wife studied natural resources and then got a degree in education. First, colleges, at not the top ranked research schools aren’t about teaching. They’re about research. You’r

You’re right. We should jump to human trials directly.

I’m biased, so I would give the most weight to what the computer science department says. Predictive policing absolutely does work in some aspects. The opposite of predictive policing is to have all beat cops equidistant from each other in

Quite the opposite. Many people feel there is a pro-Jewish bias. Universities openly limit the number of Asian students in the name of diversity, but when a school is around 40% Jewish, there doesn’t seem to be a problem. Many have a pro

Spoken like someone who is either a parroting shill or actually doesn’t understand the first thing about comparing two projects.

If you’re just talking about income, it’s a worthless question. Actual wealth has a lot more involved than just income. If you make $400k as a couple in Silicon Valley, live in a modest apartment in Burlingame, you can easily spend north i

The penalty for murder is highly variable. Murder of small child is often a pittance compared to an adult. There are other arguments involved. Was the murder brutal? Did people depend on the victim? Children have no dependents, though th

Those characters were HUNDREDS of years old, not within the creator’s lifetime.

I doubt it. You can just slow down and be fired. Severance is a pittance to them. What they are really trying to avoid is laying off the wrong people. Management is really bad at guessing who wants to stay and who wants out. Often, a bu

Why would Mathematica die? You think Stephen writes code today?

Here to remind you that real men don’t need compilers. What, you can’t remember every CPU extension? On the latest intel chip from 2000. What’s that, newer chips offer more features out of the box? How lazy of you. I spent four years in

People drive cars to work, school, etc. Look at the infrastructure required for that and what we spend on it. It’s massive.

To anyone who thinks two hours of free time is horrible - don’t have kids and don’t do anything big or great. I went to a pretty intense university to study computer science with a baby. I had zero free time. It was 100% class, study, kid

“The issues” themselves aren’t even fully agreed upon, especially if they’re not believed to be core by everyone. Everyone believes that the start of human life is a core issue. It’s the basis for the pro-life movement. It’s also a core c

See what you did there. While demanding that people acknowledge the realities of other experiences, you proceed to invalidate his “one exaggerated incident” to silence him. Yet if someone claimed a racial incident, would you be so quick to

This is completely wrong. Quality education isn’t scarce. You think Harvard educates better than most midwestern schools? No. You think MIT does? No. I have so many data points to validate that. So many people who went to both who can

Truth. You can buy wood, used cabinet saw, used thickness planer, used jointer, all for about the same price of my dining table.

Spoken like a true armchair quarterback. You really think the military should forgo combat training?

This. Jobs are a lot like dating in that giving ultimatums, while sometimes a power move in the short-term, usually lead to resentment in the future.

Lack of RVs on my street is a feature, not a bug. I fail to see how this is “nasty politics”.

Same. I bought a power rack, it’s right next to my home office. It took a while, but I use it every day now for 90 minutes.

Helping people by lottery is terrible. Ten affordable homes are built when 1000 are needed. Those ten get all the benefits, everyone else gets nothing. Or we could invest in better high density housing and more mass transit and get rid of
