Guessing, but the cheapest sensor is the one you already have installed.

Eh, personally I prefer eight rats in a trenchcoat to the kind of sclerotic bureaucracy that seems to dominate most midsized companies. I might be confused about why the rats are doing different things, but at least they're doing thing

Any chance you can eli5? I'm familiar with the Godel/Hilbert side but not the relationship to these developments.

Having been badly bitten by the timestamp equivalent of eating gum you scraped off the bottom of a desk just let me add that there is an implicit "if your time source is good/non-adversarial" assumption here. Friends don&#x27

Huh, very interesting. Who is 'us' above, and do you have any recommended reading on the Phoenician maybe-not-state?

I was there around this time and remember the first time someone said out loud that they were doing project Z because "that's what will get me promoted". I argued until I was blue in the face that it was a bad idea, but they

Wow. I had to figure all of this out a few years ago and would have really benefitted from the author's clear, precise take. This is going into the onboarding docs for my team tomorrow morning.

Worth noting that "the man" may instead mean police/government/etc, usually with negative connotations. So context may make this less appropriate as a synonym than "righteous dude" as mentioned above.

Leaded gas is still not banned today. I have a car which only consumes leaded race gas and while it is surely expensive it is definitely not illegal.

Public defenders would need resources akin to or larger than the prosecutor's office in order to take on this role. I don't know that there has ever been a time in America where the public cared more about defending the wrongly ac

When this is all settled I suspect we're going to find ourselves the drivers of a chariot, with each horse being an external and artificial mind given direction by our evolved needs.

Interesting article. The difference between the square root of two and pi sequences is surprising to me; is there some intuitive reason why pi looks so much more regular?

From the article: "These qualities have for generations been helpful in contending with the Times’s familiar problem, which is liberal bias." The NYT lost its way when it internalized the right wing's framing of them as havin

Go as a language is pretty darn good. Go as a runtime is a never-ending pile of problems mostly stemming from the authors' determination to fight the operating system for concurrency.

Being frank, I think you have an ideological position which is both satisfyingly consistent ('google is evil and always has been') and which provides a mechanism to discount any contrary facts ('you were just boots on the gro

Well, given that you aren't who I thought I was talking with at least one of us is confused, but I suspect both of us are now. The post I replied to was stating, essentially, that in their opinion Google had always been evil and only t

The inference you made is that Google actually was evil all along.

> This is just obtuse, and we both know it. Why? Should it be obvious to me why you would oppose Arab immigration but not, say, Swedish immigration? In a thread about Swedish gang violence? You claim I'm preaching but I've made

Completely accurate IMO. He wasn't the snake in the garden of Eden-- google completed rather than began its transition with his ascension-- but he would definitely have been Team Snake once he saw the fig leaf sales figures.

The point being made is exactly that your inference about Google's motives early on was wrong. Common. But wrong.

> different alphabets What does this have to do with conformity? > Oh, give extra points if the countries have strong ties to the EU Norway does not use a standard English alphabet. Are you for or against Norwegian immigrants?

I used to work there and while I don't have the best things to say about that part of my life, this is absolutely true. SpaceX, whatever you think of its CEO, is chock full of people whose brilliance glows in the dark.

I asked you to be specific about who and why and you still have not done that. I am getting from this that you aren't keen on schooling based on conformism and that you believe Arab schools teach conformism. Leaving aside the question

I think that if you had a specific and defensible point about immigration policy you would have put it here. What you actually put takes great care to be so indirect that you cannot even be identified as having a specific position, let alon

You say you've identified specific types of immigrants that are incompatible with western liberal values. Who are they and how do you know?
