Words of wisdom over hundreds of tweets. I'd probably want to fire anyone that thinks this is a good idea.

I wonder if they are going to factor the availability into all the blog posts about how fast they are.

Good thing nobody can tell when the hot wallet starts to run low, otherwise they might know the exact moment when the keys need to come together.

Write 20 different variants of mapping elements in a slice from one type to another. This will give you a fairly reasonable approximation of golang development.

It's probably because stock checking is a simple repetitive task that humans tend to fail at due to boredom and mental fatigue while robots would accel at it because of the fact that it's simple, well defined and boring.

In that case, what's the "correct" number of deaths that safety standards should target per $1M spent?

Nope, people that choose the $300 are now earning an extra 3600 per year. Explain to me how that's just a psychological difference.

Given that they haven't done random sampling of the US population over time, the correct title should be "population of american runners who choose to run marathons are getting slower."

I always wondered why Uber showed fake cars on their map. I remember them citing "technical" issues which seemed suspicious given that it's not a hard problem, and Lyft actually shows car locations. I wouldn't be surpr

Doubt that, Uber became a company that's popular to hate, and any negative news on the company is going to get a lot of eyeballs.

Based on your statement, if the company gets more money by doing all sorts of terrible things to its contractors and employees then that's the right thing to do? There's going to be a ton of local minima in decisions and gray are

The UCI banned recumbents because the upright bike manufacturers didn't want a faster bike to compete. People these days don't buy recumbents because they are very expensive due to being a low-volume niche item.

Looks more like a fancy vending machine than a robot barista. I was hoping for a portal-style robot eye and multiple robot arm suspended from some form of track on the ceiling.

Don't forget that once we get to level 4, every time there's rain or snow, there might even be more loss of life as everyone gets to learn how to drive again in bad weather.
