There are a couple more investigations potentially resulting in indictments, maybe in next few months or so. One is influencing Georgia election, another is misplaced confidential documents.

Owned 3 Toyotas, currently a Corolla and a highlander hybrid. Grand total of 100k miles and $130 of repairs on them (battery), apart from regular servicing.

A Tesla is not attractive to me, neither aesthetically or functionally. I find my Corolla more attractive, for obvious reasons.

There's a Porsche factory in Chile there they make synthetic fuel by synthesizing water and CO2 from air. So it is net zero emission (might even be negative). It costs $40 a gallon now. By 2035 it'll probably cost $2 a gallon.. ma

It is funny because right up until 2015 I lived in a South East Asian country and interest rate was always close to 10% all my life.

Can attest. Right now we're priced out of the housing market because of inflation.

They do, however I found it very intuitive on a CX-9. You rotate a dial and it scrolls through all options.

I rented a Sonata once and drove it 3500 miles without issues. But since then my impression of Hyundai has deteriorated. Had another die on me while driving on I-85 in a rush hour Atlanta. It was scary. Then all these reports of engine fire

I hardly think FAANG workers make good union members. One is about maximizing personal net worth, other is about making sacrifices for common good.

A lot of the comments opine that these are not fundamentals and they are right. My impression is that the philosophy of CS curriculum at most places is to keep the barrier of entry low. That's why bootcamps are a thing, and my fellow C

Outside of the US this is pretty much how most hospitals operate. You get through the door, you get care.

Yeah probably Moody's didn't take SVB's exposure to Peter Thiel-funded startups into account.

Moody's threatened to downgrade SVB last week, before the bank scrambled to sell stocks. Their plan simply backfired.

That's the thing. If you ask it a well known fact or solution to a common problem that could otherwise be found from top results in Google search, then and only then it might return a reliable answer. Which begs the question- WHY DOE

I asked chatgpt to parse a quadkey (a standard neumatic reference to a location on OSM). It pulled three different codes from the internet and gave me three different answers from different countries- none of which was correct. The other da

A lot of the tech bros currently asking for bailout have a track record for being anti-bailout, anti-handout, anti-government control, anti-money printing, anti-taxation, anti-stimulus. Absolutely no sympathy for them.

I also have discover, capital one, chase and local credit union bank accounts and credit cards. How do I know if one of them is going to screw me?

I have a Wells Fargo account because I came to the US as a grad student and they were signing people up for an account on campus on my first day. Later on I came to know about their history but I have never really had any bad experiences my

You can't use simulated annealing or gradient descent in your product and claim that you have built something intelligent. That would be laughable and validate these kind of messaging from the government. AI is indeed a very ambiguous

That's really not the point. Because of the FSD false promises, Tesla encourages dangerous behavior from drivers. I don't want to be next to a Tesla driving in autonomous mode while it's driver at the wheel is not paying atte

Unlike Tesla, Mercedes will take responsibility if level-3 autonomous system is malfunctioning. If I ever get an autonomous vehicle this will be the main deciding factor.
