Sounds like they're looking for a career academic who happens to have a CS undergrad and not a CS professional who can teach and work in an academic environment.

20yr ago the full stack (engineering concept to slapping the shipping label on the box bound for the customer) cost of actually getting a product into buyers hands was sufficiently higher that it made lower quality versions of many things s

Toyota has NEVER been inexpensive. They've never been conspicuously or indulgently expensive but they've never been the cheapest option in a given class. And that has been a key part of their success in the North American market.

There's also a lot of faux-intellectual attention grifters who don't really have any beliefs other than whatever the local kool-aid is and will say whatever gets the number in the top right to go up because that makes monkey brain

The Party(TM) must love types like you. There's a huge subset (dare I say majority) of those "patriots" you deride who don't like this stuff, don't think their goings on are any of the government's business. B

This shouldn't be surprising. Even before she was old and "of questionable judgement" she was voting for and sponsoring stuff like this. Go back to the war on drugs era and you can find sound bytes of her advocating for all

There's two sides to that coin. If you pop out some kids in NYC and spend the first 10yr of their lives raising them among the rat race you can't go back and re-raise them when you do finally decide to cash out and move to some s

In 2003-13 I never would have said this but it sure looks like Iraq came out better. Neither came out great but both are stable, Iraq is not destabilizing the region and Afghanistan isn't harboring people who want to attack the west an

You realize that these people are the gun lobbyists, right? It's a revolving door. The organizations and individuals involved don't care. They've seen it all. Everyone's cause is the end of the world. Everyone's

The west prefers a bled dry Russia to a recently humiliated but not bled dry Russia. That's why it's a drip by drip basis. Also the defense industrial complex sells more shit in a long conflict than a short one.

I hate this hand wringing that is ever so fashionable in white collar circles. Getting humped by an LCS is not outside the bounds of the "occasional mishap" a tugboat is meant to shrug off without expensive downtime. Should it h

And secondly is Cleveland a city that has absorbed its suburbs over the past century or is Cleveland basically just "downtown" as that will affect the average.

Why is "moving to NYC or LA" a thing people should aspire to do? Seems like a waste of effort dick measuring contest to me. And even if you check that box when you do decide to cash out and move to Cincinnati or whatever nobody ar

I've lived it (these were proper studded snow tires). The improvement is there any very tangible but there's a reason I put the wife in the AWD one. I agree that tread depth is massively important in the slushy conditions that co

Of course something on harder tires will not brake and turn as well as something on softer tires. The reduced ability to stop and turn has lead to in my snow driving experience, far, far fewer "that could have easily gone worse" s

I have a FWD and AWD variant of the same car in my driveway and call bullshit. Why is it so hard to believe that a product that advertises 30-50% improvement in traction results in a lesser improvement than doubling the area over which trac

Snow tires don't hold a candle to the doubling(!) of contact patch over which torque is transmitted that you get going from FWD/RWD to AWD and no amount of low effort quips about steering and braking will change the fact that, amo

Need to see the numbers before passing judgement. Dirt is cheap compared to concrete. Depending on how many cycles the concrete is expected to last it may be cheaper both short and long term to just have "ablative dirt" and bull
