China had already prepared to do exactly this. Notice what they said they will raise tariffs: pigs, soybeans, etc. A lot of farming states which are core Trump supporters.

But the biggest winner in the meta-game is the coyote’s domesticated cousin: the dog. They are the darlings of the human world. If earth was imploding and we had to leave for another inhabitable planet, I bet there would be a few dogs and c

Google Finance is a laughable comparison to Bloomberg. Bloomberg is basically a self contained world. When I last dealt with it in the early 2000s, it had an internal messaging system, real time feeds for news from all over the world, and a

Another vote for this one. Also Chuck Yeager is the most badass pilot that ever piloted anything that flies. They also made a movie out of the book. It's decent but the book is amazing.

Yeah it was pretty dumb but I grew up in the coastal parts of Florida. People there don't usually have enclosed garages and gas heating really isn't a thing. CO poisoning isn't something I really learned about growing up. I o

Yeah I didn't know better and was lulled into a false sense of security. For a couple of years, I always started my car first and opened the garage door and always shut the car off after the door came down. Why? Because my car's

It's interesting to see what some people consider "common" knowledge. Or maybe how common "common" is. I grew up in Florida's coastal area where houses are built on stilts (this is to spare the house in case of

I had a pretty scary run in with CO from my car once and it had nothing to do with the keyless fob. My car with gasoline direct injection had two bad injectors fail while I was driving home. It went into limp mode. When I got home I inserte

Agreed. Rather than something customers asked for, this feels like something driven by the culture at Google: "AI all the things" and "build new things" to get promoted.

This is exactly the position I want in someone who I need to trust. Supposed corporate altruism and any promises of "don't be evil" goes out the window when enough money comes into play. However, if my interests and the monet

I noticed that the other day too! Dumb question but what does the rest of the world do? Do they convert inches to mm or is the inches diameter just an approximation of the more exact metric diameters?

This is tangentially related: I came across this Reddit post a while back that I found very insightful. In the area of submarine design, the Soviets/Russians are actually much more innovative than Americans. They seem much more willing

"Human driving has basically capped out at its potential to improve. It may even be starting to get worse..." That's not true at all. If you've driven in other states and especially other countries, you know there is a l

I don't doubt their ability to defend their own territory and your point about that is correct. However, I don't see South Korea being the aggressor. If there is a war, North Korea would be the aggressor and I doubt their current

They're not at all! They put up that act to make people believe they are so that it introduces an element of uncertainty into the calculation. Like the parent said, going to war with the US is suicide, which no rational leader would do

I think this move plays into China's hands for sure, especially if we use the pretext of "peace" to leave the peninsula. China's influence will be greatly magnified as they would be the only major player left on the pen

This is where the nuclear weapons and madman ploy comes in. Once the US exits the Korean peninsula (and really, why is the US there now there is "peace"?), it's a lot harder for us to go back and help South Korea when North K

That he's been able to do this with South Korea alone without the US at the table tells you how strong of a hand he has and how weak our hand is. I think this is a ploy to do two things: 1. Economic growth for North Korea, which has be

"or example, FoundationDB only requires N+1 replicas instead of 2N+1 to achieve N failure tolerance" Wait, don't you need 3N+1 to tolerate N number of failures for it to be Byzantine fault tolerant? Is that not a goal of Foun

Why do people think that? A lot of cars are poor quality by design and choice of material. I drive German cars and there are certain choices in design and material don't stand up to time. I understand why those choices were made (70% o

This is definitely really cool and something I imagine myself using for future projects. The price points are very reasonable and the website is very usable. One question I have though is what best practices do you recommend for how one can

My parents' Chinese restaurant sold sushi. The Thai restaurant in our town sold both Chinese food and sushi and was run by Laotians. In a small town like mine, Asians are pretty interchangeable and sometimes it can be to ones' adv

By the time Japan is able to extract and use that supply the trade war with China would be long over or one would hope so. The supply is several kilometers down. One would have to build a rig and then find a way to efficiently pump that mat

A lot of the content of that blog post is just pompous, nebulous marketing speak. I wish they would talk more about the technical details (like release some numbers or benchmarks). The example is the only part that is really interesting. I

Something you need isn't necessarily what defines you. We all need food and water but that's not what defines us -- at least not at the level of abstraction people care about. Google has a ton of databases, etc. but one would hard
