Karunamon is right - it would be virtually impossible to prove the second implementer never looked at the patent database. Beyond that, over time things that were novel are no longer novel as the direction of technical development changes,

It's not just NYC the fivethirtyeight article he references shows it to be a more general trend - people are again moving from cities to the suburbs.

One reason may be the recent increase in crime. Prices are already intolerable. Prices plus crime might be enough to get people moving.

This has always bothered me. The standard is supposed to be "non-obvious to an expert in the field" and yet they hand out patents like candy for things that are obvious to the most casual observer. My solution is to cap the numbe

The key to longevity was always to make your work of critical importance to the company. But everybody else is doing the same thing. The point was being remote is a strike against you, and you really have to distinguish yourself to overco

>One day they they lost a investor and had to let a few people go, since I was the only remote guy left, I guess they simply wanted to get rid of me, haha. So I got fired. That's my concern with fully remote work. You're not a

Yeah... no. That's just the apex fallacy. Your boss puts you down. Normal guys just shrug it off and think "what an asshole".

White men are expected to shrug off shitty behavior on the part of other people, so they do. IMO that makes life a lot less stressful.

This is why pretty much everything the government does costs more than it should.

A great many people won't read your documentation and will become "stuck" until they have a person explain things. If they're customers you pretty much have to tolerate it unless you're willing to lose them as cust

And? Why wouldn't my automated car do that?

So some anonymous Trump "allies" said... something non-specific. Wow, that's some solid reporting.

He's wildly optimistic on the timeline to the point of delusion, but it's probably true we'll transition to automated electric cars within a few decades.

I think industrial uses of AR will be bigger than games. Showing people where to find parts, bringing up additional data, comparing what you see with what you're supposed to be seeing... all that would be highly useful.

Isn't Pincus famous for threatening to fire people unless they surrendered their stock options a few months before IPO? Just the kind of guy I'd want running my party.

That's a very odd thing to see in a mainstream publication.

>Why is this? It's because, from what I have read, a number of studies find that when women are treated inappropriately at work, they rarely speak up. That doesn't follow logically. Just because women tend not to "speak u

I would settle for a car that drives exactly as well as I do, and non of that stuff is required to meet that goal.

This doesn't support your point at all. It's only tangentially related.

That was my problem from the beginning. "Bus" is not the right word for this thing. It's really a inefficient sort of elevated train they labeled a bus because they didn't realize or didn't want other people to re

3%? No. That's not even close. And you're leaving out indirect labor - people got paid to build everything you buy.

by gozur88 9y ago
I think that's true, pretty much. But the downside is they force an inefficient development methodology on you as you try to make the imaginary deadline.

What do you mean, "paying off capital"? There's no way salaries amount to less than about 90% of the total.

I don't think people in the first world really understand the importance of this point. There are countries where a small increase in prices causes starvation at the margins. You are not going to get those people interested in AGW un

It probably will become cheaper, since as volume goes down mines that are only marginally profitable now will close, leaving only the most efficient.

Are we going to use the list going around which assumes a group of five guys is a military base? If so, there are a lot of other countries with military bases in the US.

The most frustrating thing about being an older programmer is watching organizations make the same mistakes over and over again. Yeah, sure, you might want to hire an older guy because he has experience with the intangible project stuff.
